Hearing the disciple's report, Yan Li, who was sitting in the pavilion and drinking tea, almost choked. He forced himself to swallow the tea in his mouth and raised his hand to wipe the water from the corner of his mouth. He widened his eyes and asked, "What did you say?"
Guan Qingya, who was talking to his master Yan Li, was stunned. The two of them were talking about the arrest of Yuan Gang at the Thatched Cottage. Suddenly, Niu Youdao came back. It was such a coincidence. The joke was a little too much.
The disciple was stunned for a moment and explained again, "Niu Youdao Elder Niu is back. He is waiting for you outside the Conference Hall."
Yan Li stood up abruptly and said angrily, "Nonsense! Count with your fingers. Niu Youdao has only left the sect for a few days. How could he have come back so soon? Do you think the Saint Land is a place for him to play? "
That disciple scowled miserably at being scolded. He explained in a sorrowful voice, "Master, there's no mistake. Niu Youdao has indeed returned. When I received a report from the disciple on duty outside the Assembly Hall, I did not believe it either. I rushed over to take a look. There's no mistake. Of course, the clothes he is wearing are a little strange, but his appearance and demeanor are definitely Elder Niu! "
After confirming this, Yan Ligan swallowed his saliva and felt goosebumps all over his body. Even his breathing was a little chaotic. He muttered to himself, "How is this possible? Why would he come back at this time? Does he know something has happened … No, the time doesn't match. "
Guan Qingya asked tentatively, "Master, will he cause trouble?"
Even though he had already received Yan Li's reminder, hearing it and experiencing it personally were two different things. Even though he was a little frightened previously, he wasn't too worried. The sect had its own rules, and he didn't believe that Niu Youdao would dare to act recklessly. To put it bluntly, he had not realized the seriousness of the situation.
The truth of some things should not be known by too many people. Yan Li calmed down and waved his hand to signal the disciple to leave. Then, he said to Guan Qingya, "Don't show up now. Find a place to hide first, so that you don't run into Niu Youdao's anger. It won't be too late to talk about it after he calms down."
Guan Qingya asked hesitantly, "Master, do you really have to do that? The sect rules are greater than the heavens, how can he be unreasonable? "
Yan Li glared at him and raised his finger to point at his nose as he reprimanded, "Are you the one who understands him, or am I? I've told you before that Yuan Gang's relationship with him isn't ordinary. You injured Yuan Gang to such an extent and even captured him. You even slapped Guan Fangyi with your own hands. That bastard will definitely fly into a rage. It would be strange if he doesn't settle the score with you! [You idiot! Why don't you stir up trouble at any time? You haven't even figured out the matter of the sage realm's experiential learning, and you're already looking for trouble for yourself. If you don't hide now, do you really want him to skin you alive?] Don't talk about skinning you, he might even kill you in a fit of anger! "
Guan Qingya did not understand. "Master, the rules of the sect are in place. How can he do whatever he wants? I don't believe that the Purple Golden Cave will let him do as he pleases! "
He was more or less dissatisfied, thinking that his master was too timid. [You're an elder of the Purple Golden Cave and a trusted follower of the Sect Leader. Do you really have to be so afraid of Niu Youdao?] [How can you be so scared when you hear that Niu Youdao is back? If outsiders find out, you'll be a laughing stock, and your disciples will be humiliated.]
"Rules? Rules depend on the person! "Yan Li almost cursed out loud." You're talking about rules with him? Are the rules of the Purple Golden Cave or the Misty Pavilion more important? Don't you know what he did? He killed the elders of the three major sects of Zhao State in the Heaven Valley. He can ignore the rules of the Misty Pavilion right under the nose of the Misty Pavilion. Even the rules of the Misty Pavilion can't control him, so how can the rules of the Purple Golden Cave scare him? That guy is more difficult to deal with than you think. You still don't take it seriously. Did you ignore everything I said to you? "
Mentioning the killing of the elders of the three major sects of Zhao State in the Heaven Valley, Guan Qingya's heart skipped a beat when he thought about it and connected it to what was happening in front of him. After being bombarded by such harsh words, Niu Youdao had completely woken up. He was truly afraid. Furthermore, Niu Youdao had really returned. His expression changed greatly, and he panicked. He immediately performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "Yes, disciple knows his mistake.
"Wait!" Yan Li suddenly called out to him again. He approached him and reminded him in a low voice, "There are still those two witnesses. You'd better keep their mouths shut. Once they open their mouths, people will find out that you've caused such a big misunderstanding. With Niu Youdao causing trouble, no one in the Purple Golden Cave will be able to protect you! You must let them know that if they dare to talk nonsense, you'll be out of luck, and they won't have a good time in the Purple Golden Cave. Someone will let them know what it means to live a life worse than death. Do you understand? "
"Yes! I understand. I'll go now. Do you have any other orders, Master? "Guan Qingya was already panicking.
Yan Li only had one word for him, "Get lost!"
"Yes!" Guan Qingya nodded and hurried away.
Yan Li stood in place and took a few deep breaths. After calming his emotions, he quickly left and rushed towards the Conference Hall to see what was going on.
The news of Niu Youdao's sudden return spread quickly. At least the relevant higher-ups in the sect heard the news and quickly rushed over.
However, Niu Youdao, who was waiting outside, did not see them.
Niu Youdao, who was standing outside the hall with his hands behind his back, waited for a long time, but Gong Lince still did not show up. Feeling suspicious, he turned around and went up the stairs.
Two disciples guarding outside the hall quickly reached out to stop him. One of them smiled apologetically and said, "Elder, please wait a little longer."
Niu Youdao raised his chin and said, "What's going on? Does it take so long to report? Is the Sect Leader here? If you don't give me a quick answer, don't make me wait outside, okay? "
That person continued to smile apologetically and said, "Elder, please don't be impatient. The Sect Leader is meeting a guest. He may have to wait for a while."
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows and said, "A guest? What kind of f * cking guest is more important than my return?"
His words were a little arrogant, but he was right. He did not believe that there was anything more important than his return from the Saint Land. Did the people of the Purple Golden Cave not want to know what happened in the Saint Land?
Gong Lince's procrastination was a little unreasonable. He was not an ignorant person, and the slightest abnormality would arouse his suspicions. After he finished speaking, he directly rushed into the Conference Hall.
Two disciples hurriedly stopped him again. One of them smiled apologetically and said, "Elder Niu, the Conference Hall enshrines the ancestral seat of the sect's founder. You are not allowed to enter without proper business, or you will be suspected of blasphemy."
Niu Youdao said, "Stop me? What do you mean? Are you saying that I am not doing proper business? "
That person said, "We dare not. But Elder Niu, you know the rules. Please don't make things difficult for us. "
Niu Youdao said, "Talking to me about rules? Is it your turn to talk to me about rules? Are you the Elders, or am I the Elder? You don't respect your superior, and you don't respect me, an Elder. According to the rules of the sect, how should you be punished? Who is your master? Ask him to come see me. I want to ask your master if there are any rules in the Purple Golden Cave for offending his superior. "
Wasn't this unreasonable? That person smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Niu, this is our duty."
Niu Youdao said, "Can I go inside and wait for the Sect Leader?"
That disciple said, "Elder Niu, this is not appropriate."
"I say, do you two not have hair? Are you blind or something? Why do you have so many problems? Get out of the way. If anything happens, I will take responsibility. " Niu Youdao waved his hand and directly pushed aside the arms of the two people who were trying to stop him. He swaggered into the Conference Hall and looked around with his hands behind his back.
The two disciples outside looked helpless. Naturally, they had heard about the incident at the Thatched Cottage, but they didn't dare to go against the past. However, one of them quickly went inside the hall to report. The other person was watching Niu Youdao's every move at the door.
In the pavilion at the back of the hall, Gong Lince, who hadn't shown himself for a long time, was also there. Because of the incident at the Thatched Cottage, he didn't dare to show himself to see Niu Youdao.
Yuan An had arrived, but Yan Li and the others had already arrived. Gong Lince had sent people to intercept them halfway and lead them in through the side door.
As soon as he saw Yan Li, Gong Lince was furious. He really wanted to ask Yan Li, "How did you manage your subordinates? You could have caused trouble at any time, but you had to choose this time to cause trouble during the Saint Domain training. Isn't this creating more trouble?"
Some words could only be said in the heart or in private with Yan Li. They couldn't be said in public.
Everyone had arrived. The incident at the Thatched Cottage was a little difficult to solve after they met up and discussed it.
It was easy to solve it. The best way was to kill Niu Youdao and get rid of him. Naturally, everything would be fine.
However, it wasn't that simple. Disregarding other factors, Niu Youdao was an elder of the Purple Golden Cave. It was impossible to kill an elder without any reason or crime. The rules of the sect weren't child's play.
Even if it was a lowly disciple, they couldn't kill him for no reason.
There was really no solution. Another disciple came to report that Niu Youdao had already barged into the Conference Hall.
Seeing that he couldn't delay it any longer, Gong Lince sighed. "We have to face him sooner or later. Let's go and see what's going on. How did he return from the Saint Domain so quickly?"
The group walked unhurriedly to the back door of the back hall. After passing through the back hall and turning into the main hall, they immediately saw a man in red strolling in the hall. If it wasn't Niu Youdao, who else could it be?
"Junior Brother Niu." Gong Lince, who was leading the group, smiled and greeted him.
Niu Youdao turned around and smiled as he cupped his hands. "Greetings, Sect Leader, greetings, Elders."
Without waiting for a reply, he added meaningfully, "I've been waiting outside for so long. Did something happen in the sect?"
Gong Lince was worried that he wouldn't be able to answer this question. He sighed and said, "Yu Cang and the Sect Leaders of the three major sects of the Kingdom of Song are here. We were delayed for a while and had just sent them away. I'm sorry for making you wait."
"Oh, so it's an important guest." Niu Youdao's eyes flickered slightly. He asked suspiciously, "What are they doing here at this time?"
"You've gone to the Saint Domain. It's understandable that they have some thoughts. You can probably guess it too. Let's not talk about it." Gong Lince waved his hand and looked him up and down. He asked, "Why are you dressed so strangely?"
Niu Youdao sighed and said, "Don't mention it. The clothes distributed in the Saint Domain have no style at all. It's not just me. Everyone in the Saint Domain has changed."
