Wen Mo 'er came out of the cottage and saw that the person in the courtyard was Ju An of Sleeping Turtle Pavilion. She was slightly startled and then slowly lowered her head. She stood on the steps and did not go down.
Niu Youdao's matchmaking between her and Ju An was no longer a secret. Disciples of the same generation had already come to congratulate her. She now knew what Niu Youdao and Gong Lince had discussed outside Sleeping Turtle Pavilion. Although she had guessed it before, she was not present and was dismissed by Niu Youdao.
Ju An's expression was a little awkward. He held a basket in his hand and the basket was filled with fruits. He did not know what to say.
Both sides were silent for a while. Finally, Ju An plucked up his courage and walked to the bottom of the steps. He handed over the basket in his hand and squeezed out a smile, "I just saw a wild fruit tree at the back of the mountain. It's growing well. Junior apprentice sister Wen, this is a token of my appreciation. I hope you don't mind. "
Wen Mo 'er whispered, "Senior apprentice brother Ju, there's no need."
She didn't want to accept this thing. To be exact, Ju An wasn't the person she wanted. She didn't expect herself to be a powerful man or a famous hero in the future, but she also didn't want to be a doorkeeper. Ju An was really just a doorkeeper in the Sleeping Turtle Pavilion.
Even if he was a gatekeeper for the most senior elder of Zijin Cave, some results could be seen. Zhong Guzi's life was coming to an end and there was no successor. A person like Ju An would not have a future.
It was not that she wanted to marry a person with a future, but a person like Ju An would not have a future. He was not handsome and could not be compared to the man she wanted.
Although she didn't use her looks as an asset in choosing a spouse, her looks were still there. Subconsciously, she understood that she had a choice. Ju An wasn't someone she wanted to marry in any way.
Be honest and dutiful? How could a woman who had never experienced a man and a woman regard an honest man as an advantage?
The other party refused. Ju An was very embarrassed on the surface and on the inside. He did not know what to say. He bent down and placed the basket on the steps. "If junior apprentice sister does not like it, you can let others have a taste. I will go back first. I will not disturb you."
Wen Mo 'er whispered, "En."
Ju An cupped his fists and turned to leave.
Just as he stepped out of the small courtyard, a fragrant wind assaulted his nostrils. Someone stopped him. It was Guan Fangyi, who was all smiles.
Guan Fangyi teased, "I heard that you came to give a gift to the beauty you admire. What did you give?"
Ju An was speechless. It was all this woman's fault that they had gotten into such an awkward situation. It was Guan Fangyi who urged him to take the initiative, so he braced himself and came.
In fact, Guan Fangyi was also forced by the situation. As soon as Niu Youdao left, she sensed that the atmosphere was not right. The activities of the people in the Thatched Cottage seemed to be gradually restricted. If Wen Mo'er did not help, they would not even know what was happening on the surface of Zijin Cave. The people in the Thatched Cottage were like pigs and sheep in a pen. They did not know when they would be slaughtered. They could not sense any changes at all. This made people very uneasy.
Although Ju An was a disciple of Zijin Cave, Ju An's connections in Zijin Cave were limited. The people in the Sleeping Turtle Pavilion had their own duties, so it was not convenient for them to go around and inquire about information. It was also not easy to go to the Sleeping Turtle Pavilion to get in touch with Ju An. Other than Niu Youdao himself, no one in Niu Youdao's group was a disciple of Zijin Cave. They could use any excuse to restrict them from going around in Zijin Cave.
Therefore, she hoped to follow Niu Youdao's instructions and facilitate the change of Wen Mo'er as soon as possible.
Ju An said, "Nothing. I picked some wild fruits in the back mountain."
"Wild fruits again? Why do you give fruits to everyone you see? " Guan Fangyi pinched her forehead and said helplessly, "Can't you give something that a woman likes when you give something to a woman? Something that will be gone after you eat it. Something that will rot. Once it's gone, there will be no more memories. Can't you give something that can be seen often, something that can remind people of them? For example, nice jewelry … "She taught Ju An a bunch of things, telling him what to give.
While she was talking, Guan Fangyi suddenly stopped talking. Ju An turned around and looked in the direction she was looking at. He saw Wen Mo'er coming out.
Seeing the two of them together, Wen Mo'er was also stunned. She immediately lowered her head and silently walked past the two.
"Sister, go out. Where are you going?" Guan Fangyi asked.
Wen Mo'er pretended not to hear and walked away with her head lowered.
Ju An smiled bitterly, "She doesn't like me. Why do you force her? Well, Hong Niang, I'll go back first. "
"Wait!" Guan Fangyi pulled his sleeve and whispered, "I heard from Mo'er that after the heads of the sects returned from the Holy Island, the heads of the three major sects of Song and Yu Cang of the Waning Moon Pavilion came to Zijin Cave together. I don't know what they were discussing. One is in the East of Yan Mountain, and the other is in the West of Yan Mountain. These people gathered together and took advantage of Daoye's absence. I'm a little worried. Can you help me find out what's going on? "
After all, she had been with Niu Youdao for a long time and had been dealing with the affairs of various countries for a long time. She had a little ability to detect some changes in the situation. If it was in the past, it was just a gathering of a group of big shots. She wouldn't take it too seriously.
Ju An tried to pull his sleeve back from her hand. It was not good for a man and a woman to pull each other in public. He was afraid that people would think too much if they saw it.
Guan Fangyi didn't take it seriously. She had been a prostitute for a long time and was used to some things. She was used to things like putting her arm around Niu Youdao's shoulder and flirting with him.
"This … I'm not familiar with most of the people in the sect. I can try to ask about small things, but this involves the higher-ups of the sect. How can I ask about it?" Ju An looked embarrassed and shook his head, "Hong Niang, I really can't do anything about this. It's difficult for me to even get in touch with the relevant people. If I suddenly ask about this kind of thing, it will make people vigilant. Since you heard it from Wen Mo 'er, you might as well ask her. She is the adopted daughter of the Sect Master and has direct contact with the Sect Master and the higher-ups of the sect. "
Guan Fangyi said, "Do you think it's like when Daoye was still here? Daoye could control the situation and is also the elder of the Purple Golden Cave. Once he asks, Wen Mo 'er will have to give him an explanation. Now that Daoye is gone, Wen Mo' er is on the side of the Sect Master. She won't easily reveal the movements of the Sect Master to outsiders like us. So, I hope you can settle Wen Mo 'er as soon as possible."
Ju An was stunned, "You want me to marry Wen Mo 'er just for this?"
Guan Fangyi said, "You think too much. Would Elder Zhong and Daoye harm you? It's all for your own good. Oh yes, you can ask Elder Zhong. Elder Zhong's position is to ask about the affairs of the sect. The Sect Master will also have to tell him everything. Once Elder Zhong asks, everything will be clear. "
Ju An shook his head, "Unless it's absolutely necessary, Grandmaster will not ask about this kind of thing."
Guan Fangyi was slightly anxious, "How will you know if you don't try? Ju An, Daoye is good to you. You won't treat the Thatched Cottage differently now that Daoye is gone, right? "
Ju An was speechless. In the end, he said helplessly, "Alright, I can try to mention it in front of Grandmaster. As for whether Grandmaster will agree, I can't guarantee. Goodbye! "
"Okay, as long as you tried your best. Let's go, I'll see you out. "
"No need."
"It's okay."
As soon as the two of them left the Thatched Cottage, they stopped at the door. They saw Wen Mo 'er, who seemed to be stopped not far from the door. She was talking to a disciple of the Purple Golden Cave. It was obvious that the disciple was trying to please Wen Mo' er.
Guan Fangyi frowned slightly. She knew that disciple of the Purple Golden Cave. He had come to the Thatched Cottage once yesterday. The gatekeeper had asked him to wait for the report, but he had barged in directly, leaving the people of the Thatched Cottage helpless.
At that time, someone wanted to tell Yuan Gang, but she had stopped him. She knew Yuan Gang's temper, and she was afraid that something bad would happen to Yuan Gang if he knew.
When living under someone else's roof, the weak couldn't beat the strong, and Daoye was not here. For the sake of everyone, she had to put up with this small matter.
This person had entered the Thatched Cottage to find Wen Mo 'er. Through this matter, she learned some of the reasons from the two female disciples of the Purple Golden Cave beside Wen Mo' er. This person was the disciple of the Purple Golden Cave's Elder Yan Li. He had the same surname as her, and his name was Guan Qingya.
Perhaps because of his master, Guan Qingya had a high status in the Purple Golden Cave. He was a deacon in charge of some affairs. He liked Wen Mo 'er and was one of the disciples of the Purple Golden Cave who had pursued Wen Mo' er.
After learning about the situation, Guan Fangyi was also a little annoyed. When Daoye was here, this Guan Qingya did not even dare to come out, but as soon as Daoye left, he came to look for trouble. He even dared to ignore the matter that Daoye came to finalize with the Sect Master. It was really hateful.
However, people had to lower their heads when they were under the eaves. Moreover, Guan Qingya did not dare to mess around with Wen Mo 'er, and he did not do anything too excessive.
Of course, she also knew that the reason why the other party did not dare to mess around with Wen Mo 'er was because of Gong Lince, who was Gong Lince's adopted daughter.
"Ju An, that person also has ideas about Wen Mo 'er. You have to hurry up. If someone takes her away from you, you will lose face." Guan Fangyi reminded Ju An in a low voice.
The corner of Ju An's mouth twitched slightly.
On the other side, Wen Mo 'er did not seem to want to bother with Guan Qingya. After a few words, she left.
After Guan Qingya sent her off politely, he turned around and looked at the door of the cottage. His eyes locked on Ju An, who was standing at the door, and a look of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
He had liked Wen Mo 'er for a long time, but he had no choice but to restrain himself after Wen Mo' er became the adopted daughter of the Sect Master. He did not have the guts to mess around with Gong Lince's adopted daughter. It was more likely that he was tired of living.
However, he knew that he still had a very good chance. He knew the relationship between his master, Yan Li, and the Sect Master. His master was on the same side as the Sect Master. If his master helped him fight for it, the Sect Master would have to consider it. To some extent, after the Sect Master became Wen Mo 'er's adopted father, marriage was decided by the parents, which gave him a chance.
After he repeatedly begged his master, his master finally relented and said that he would find a suitable opportunity to make it happen.
However, Elder Niu appeared later, and Wen Mo 'er became Niu Youdao's subordinate.
His master was obviously a little afraid of Niu Youdao and warned him to be careful. He said that Niu Youdao was not someone to be trifled with, and that he should wait and see the situation and find a suitable opportunity.
Later, the relationship between his master and Niu Youdao became strained. It was not possible to get Wen Mo 'er from Niu Youdao's hands. He thought that there was no hope, but who would have thought that Niu Youdao would be on the list of the Saint State.
He thought that his chance had come, but in the blink of an eye, Niu Youdao interfered and acted as a matchmaker with the Sect Master, setting Wen Mo 'er to Ju An of the Sleeping Tortoise Pavilion, which made him very worried.
However, there was still a chance. Niu Youdao had left after all, and it was still unknown if he could come back alive. Moreover, his master was already dissatisfied with the Thatched Cottage. He had the idea of helping himself and also helping his master vent her anger. Therefore, he repeatedly appeared at the Thatched Cottage.
