As they walked, the two disciples of Purple Golden Cave who were following behind Niu Youdao noticed something was wrong. Ke Dingjie approached Niu Youdao's shoulder and whispered, "Elder, behind us …"
Niu Youdao quickly turned around and was stunned. Shen Yidu, Chao Jing, Fu Hua, Duan Wuchang, Lang Jingkong, Hong Gaitian and the others were following closely behind him.
As they walked, they turned around and looked back. These people were really loyal to him. Niu Youdao was speechless. He knew what they were thinking.
The group of people was led into a large courtyard by the people from the Misty Pavilion. There were quite a lot of rooms, and the courtyard was arranged in a circle. There were three floors above and below, and there were more than twenty-eight rooms. There were more than a hundred rooms, and they were all temporarily vacated by the Misty Pavilion. It was enough for these people to stay temporarily.
After everyone entered the courtyard and confirmed that there were no mistakes, a leader of the Misty Pavilion said loudly, "These rooms are for you, three people to one room, each sect will have one room. Pick your room, once you have chosen, don't change it. Without further notice, no one is allowed to step out of this courtyard without permission. No one is allowed to cause trouble here, or else you will have to bear the consequences. Food will be sent here. "
He waved his hand and the people from each sect left to choose their own rooms.
Niu Youdao observed his surroundings. He had been observing his surroundings along the way, and this place was no exception. It looked relaxed on the outside, but it was tense on the inside. He didn't dare to be careless, he even paid attention to every detail.
He also noticed Shen Yidu and the others behind him. He didn't move from his spot and so did these people.
Chao Jing brought two disciples of the Wan Shou Clan to the eaves and stayed away from Niu Youdao to avoid arousing suspicion. They looked like they were choosing their rooms, but in fact, they didn't move at all. They were secretly observing Niu Youdao's movements.
Shen Yidu and the people of the Four Seas did not need to avoid suspicion. Everyone knew about the relationship between the Waning Moon Pavilion and Niu Youdao. They had colluded together to destroy the State of Zhao. Everyone also knew about the relationship between the four people of the Four Seas and Niu Youdao. They were sworn brothers, so it was not strange for them to be together.
When most of the others had chosen their rooms, Niu Youdao, who had been observing silently, started to move. He chose a room upstairs, downstairs, left and right that was almost unoccupied. He led two Purple Golden Cave disciples to push open the door and enter.
The room was relatively clean, but it was not very spacious. There was only a single room with a couch, two chairs, and a table.
As soon as Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie entered the room, they quickly checked every corner of the room. Niu Youdao smiled. He was familiar with the technique and found that Yuan Gang had taught him well. It seemed that he didn't have to worry about the trivial matters in the future.
To some extent, Yuan Gang knew him well. He knew his style of doing things and what kind of cooperation he needed.
Seeing that Niu Youdao had chosen a room, Shen Yidu and the others immediately went to the room closest to Niu Youdao's room.
Chao Jing frowned slightly. He found that the room closest to Niu Youdao was not available for him. However, it was not a bad thing. If he moved too quickly, people would easily suspect the relationship between him and Niu Youdao. It seemed that he had been too deliberate when he had asked Niu Youdao about the situation. He needed to reflect on himself.
He looked around and chose a room that was separated from the courtyard but directly opposite to Niu Youdao's room, so that he could see what was going on in Niu Youdao's room at any time.
After choosing the room, Fu Hua and the other three immediately met up and went into Niu Youdao's room together. They asked two disciples of the Zijin Cave to leave. Seeing that Niu Youdao nodded, they left. However, as soon as they went out, they found that the door was guarded by the people of the Four Seas, not allowing anyone to approach.
There was no one else in the room. Fu Hua smiled sweetly and said, "Little Brother, we meet again."
Niu Youdao smiled and cupped his hands. "Little Brother greets Big Sister and three Big Brothers."
"Haha!" Hong Gaitian laughed loudly and punched Niu Youdao's chest. "You're not bad, kid. You're not like those people." The "people" he was referring to was the difference between humans and Yao cultivators, and the feeling that those who were not of the same race would have different hearts. After saying that, he put one arm around Niu Youdao's shoulder, looking very affectionate and happy.
Not only him, but the four of them also had a different feeling towards Niu Youdao when they saw Niu Youdao again. They somewhat treated him as one of their own. In short, the way they talked and behaved was more intimate, or at least they weren't as distant as before.
It couldn't be helped. His reputation would more or less affect him.
After the battle at the Corner Lake of the Zhao Kingdom, the story of Niu Youdao sacrificing himself to save others spread out. Perhaps the four of them didn't feel much about it.
In order to save their sworn brother Hui Qingping, he made such a big fuss. Perhaps the four of them would think that he was putting on an act.
Looking at the two incidents separately, there might not be any effect. But when the two incidents were put together, and both came from the same person, the feeling was really different. The four of them had to redefine Niu Youdao's character, and that was why they felt so close to him.
Previously, they didn't think that there was anything wrong with becoming sworn brothers with Niu Youdao, and they didn't think that Niu Youdao's status was worthy of them. But now, they had unknowingly ignored all these things, and their relationship as sworn brothers with Niu Youdao became clearer.
There was naturally a reason why Niu Youdao's current status had risen. However, they had all neglected it.
Speaking of which, if they hadn't become sworn brothers, they wouldn't have been so close to each other when they met.
Niu Youdao allowed Hong Gaitian to put his arm around his shoulder, and asked curiously, "There are so many people in the world, why did the Misty Pavilion coincidentally choose the four of you to come to the Saint Region to train?"
Lang Jingkong shook his head, "We don't know either."
Fu Hua smiled, "Little brother, you're asking us? Shouldn't we be the ones asking you? "
The four of them stared at Niu Youdao, and Niu Youdao was speechless …
Chao Jing's room was almost opposite. Once he entered the room, he opened the window, as if he was paying attention to the situation in the courtyard, but in fact, he was secretly paying attention to Niu Youdao's movements. When he saw the people from the Four Seas enter Niu Youdao's room, he was anxious and wanted to find Niu Youdao to clarify the matter of the training, but he couldn't find a chance to meet Niu Youdao alone. It would be hard not to arouse suspicion if he ran into Niu Youdao in front of so many people.
He paced back and forth in the room, hesitating and thinking of a solution. When he saw the people from the Four Seas coming out of Niu Youdao's room, he stopped in his tracks and stroked his beard. His eyes flickered, and he made up his mind.
The day passed, and when it was evening, Chao Jing, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, suddenly stood up and said, "Since we have nothing to do, let's go and visit the people from the other sects, we can also find out more about the situation."
"Yes!" Two of the Wan Shou Faction's disciples obeyed Elder Chao's order.
One of them was his direct disciple, Xu Huo, who was also sent to the Tian Du Secret Territory by Elder Chao. He had secretly helped Niu Youdao in the Tian Du Secret Territory.
The three of them left the room and walked towards the nearest room. They knocked on the door and entered the room, leaving the disciples outside to talk to the Elder of the other party about the training.
This was actually just a cover-up, there was no point in talking about it. After Chao Jing left the room, he led the other disciples to another sect and continued to do the same.
After walking around for a while, the sky turned dark and the lights were on for a while, Chao Jing finally arrived at the door of the Purple Golden Cave's room. He asked his disciple, Xu Huo, to knock on the door and pass the message.
The door opened and saw Niu Youdao in the room. Xu Huo cupped his hands and smiled, "Elder Niu, I am a disciple of the Wan Shou Faction, my teacher, Elder Chao, is here to visit!"
He didn't know much about the relationship between Niu Youdao and his teacher, but he had been ordered to cooperate with Niu Youdao in the Tian Du Secret Territory. He knew that there must be something going on between his teacher and Niu Youdao.
But this wasn't something he needed to worry about, he only needed to remember one thing, he was Chao Jing's trusted disciple, and everything Chao Jing did was for his own good. If Chao Jing was doing well, then Niu Youdao, as his disciple, would have to follow suit. He knew what he needed to do.
Niu Youdao had already seen Chao Jing outside the door. Whenever he saw Chao Jing, he would think of the black peony, and his eyes would flash with an unnoticeable depth. This depth was like a thorn in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He stood up from his chair and laughed, "Oh, it's Elder Chao! Please, come in!"
Chao Jing walked in and cupped his hands and said, "We parted ways in the Wan Shou Faction years ago, and now we meet again. I didn't expect you to become an elder of the Purple Golden Cave, I didn't go to congratulate you, please forgive me, Elder Niu."
Niu Youdao said, "Don't say that, please come in. Please sit. There's no tea here, just a cup of water, I hope Elder Chao doesn't mind. "Then he personally poured water for Chao Jing.
"You're welcome." Chao Jing waved his hand and looked around, "I would like to talk to Elder Niu in private about the training, would that be appropriate?"
Niu Youdao understood, he turned around and gestured for Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie to leave.
There was no one else in the room, Niu Youdao sat on the side and said with a smile, "Elder Chao, you really went through a lot of trouble to come and see me. You went around in a big circle."
Chao Jing nodded, "You have good eyesight, brother. I didn't see you doing anything, but the movements in the courtyard can't be hidden from you."
Niu Youdao said, "The situation is unclear, it's better to be careful."
As he said, they had to be careful, but he really didn't do anything himself. It was Yuan Gang who had trained Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie well, so they were secretly observing the movements in the courtyard and reported to Niu Youdao in time.
When he found out that Chao Jing had visited all the factions and finally came to this place, he guessed that this was Chao Jing's purpose, everything else was just a smokescreen.
Chao Jing lowered his voice, "I came here to thank you, brother."
"Thank you?" Niu Youdao was a little surprised, he thought that Chao Jing's purpose was the same as Fu Hua and the others, who would have thought that Chao Jing would come here to thank him. He was a little puzzled, "Why are you thanking me? Elder Chao, please enlighten me. "
Chao Jing said, "Thank you for reminding me in advance, it allowed me to arrange for my trusted disciple Xu Huo to come here, it made my trip a lot more convenient."
Speaking of Xu Huo, he couldn't help but be impressed by Niu Youdao's thoughtful preparation, if it wasn't for Niu Youdao's reminder, he wouldn't have been able to find such a reliable confidant in the Saint Land.
However, it wasn't really a coincidence, after all, it was the result of Niu Youdao's reminder. Coincidentally, in the list of three disciples submitted by Wan Shou Clan, the Misty Pavilion didn't cross out Xu Huo's name. Don't underestimate a confidant, he could play a big role in a critical moment, and in this kind of situation, he really helped a lot.
