"No, no need to go through so much trouble." Niu Youdao raised his hand to stop him. "Let's change after we get back to the cottage. There's no point in changing our outerwear. Our undergarments are all red and disgusting. We'll have to change again after we get back. I don't know what the Sage State is up to. They stripped us naked after we got in and didn't allow us to keep anything we brought in. Our clothes were changed into this. "
Since that was the case, Gong Lince didn't force him. He asked, "Where are Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie?"
Niu Youdao replied, "They're still in the Sage State. I came back alone."
Everyone looked at each other. Gong Lince asked suspiciously, "You came back alone? None of the others came back? "
Niu Youdao replied, "I'm not sure. I was the only one who left the Sage State. I'm not sure if anyone else came out after that. But I suspect that I'm the only one who came out. "
"How could this be?" Gong Lince was worried. "Did you get into trouble?"
He wasn't the only one. Everyone else was worried too. Someone had gotten into trouble when he went to Sky Capital Peak.
Niu Youdao replied, "I'm an honest man. What trouble could I get into? That's the Sage State. I have to be brave. I was wondering about this too. The Pavilion Master of the Fangfei Pavilion in the Sage State, Luo Fangfei, suddenly found me. I didn't want to come out, so she chased me out … "He recounted what happened.
Not only was he puzzled, everyone else was bewildered. They didn't know what he meant.
Gong Lince cautiously said, "There must be a reason for something like this to happen. It can't be without reason. Think about it. Did something happen when you entered the Sage State?" They had to be cautious. Luo Qiu's daughter personally sent this guy out of the Sage State. This joke was a little too much.
Niu Youdao sighed, "As soon as we entered the Saint State, we were immediately stripped naked. Then, we didn't even have time to catch our breaths before the training began. Ding Wei, who was in charge of the Misty Pavilion, immediately gave us some ink and paper …" He then explained the situation of being forced to write something.
Hearing this, everyone in the hall became nervous. They were actually forcing the people of the various sects to write such a thing. This was truly a life-threatening thing.
On the surface, there wouldn't be any problems. If there were, the Misty Pavilion would have dealt with them long ago. But in the dark, no one's butt was clean. At the very least, who wouldn't be dissatisfied with the Misty Pavilion or the Saint State behind their backs?
If something really angered the sage realm, no one present would be able to escape.
Yuan An asked anxiously, "Have you all written it down?"
Niu Youdao was amused. He retorted, "If it were you, would you dare not write? At the very least, I didn't dare to. None of the elders who were present at that time dared to not write it down. "
Gong Lince asked anxiously, "What did you write?"
"Don't worry about this. No matter how unfair you are to me, I am still a disciple of the Purple Golden Cave. Of course, I will try my best to protect the interests of the Purple Golden Cave …" Niu Youdao told everyone what he had written. He told them about how the Purple Golden Cave teamed up to bully him.
Everyone was speechless after hearing this. But they were glad that the grudges within the sects didn't touch the reverse scale of the Saint State.
Fu Junrang said, "Junior Brother Niu, didn't you say that Ding Wei wanted you to write about the problems of the various sects? Can you pass the test by writing like this? "
Niu Youdao said happily, "That's right. Ding Wei saw what I had written and pointed me out on the spot. He said that he wasn't interested in the trivial things I had written. But I had a reason. I had just joined the Purple Golden Cave. The scum of the Purple Golden Cave didn't even give me the right to participate in the decision-making. I knew nothing about the situation of the Purple Golden Cave. I couldn't just make things up, could I? Ding Wei didn't say anything after hearing this. So we passed the test. "
Everyone was relieved after hearing this. They pretended that they didn't hear the scolding of them as scum.
But Fu Junrang couldn't help but look at Gong Lince and Yan Li. He was amused. Niu Youdao was risking his life to protect the interests of the Purple Golden Cave in the Saint State, but here they were messing with the people of the Thatched Cottage when Niu Youdao wasn't here.
Gong Lince asked again, "Is that all for the trial?"
Niu Youdao said, "Of course not. That was just an appetizer. Two days ago, which was the second day after the Sect Leader left the Saint Island, a new trial was issued. We were asked to hunt the demon fox. I believe you have all heard about the demon fox of the Saint State, right? "
Everyone nodded to show that they had heard of it.
Niu Youdao continued, "The participants of each sect will form a team. The Misty Pavilion will also send out their corresponding members to form a team. The two teams will compete with each other. It seems that the Saint State is targeting the Misty Pavilion. The people of the Misty Pavilion are familiar with the hunting situation. It's normal for them to win. But if they lose to the trial team, it will prove the incompetence of the Misty Pavilion. Some people will have to bear the responsibility and be kicked out of the Misty Pavilion. As a reward, the members of the trial team may enter the Misty Pavilion to take over the position of the person who was kicked out. "
Everyone looked at each other. Yuan An said in a deep voice, "It seems that the purpose of this trial is not as simple as we thought."
Niu Youdao said meaningfully, "First, let the people of each sect write down that kind of thing. Not everyone has a good excuse like me to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial. After writing down something that is difficult to report back, killing the demon fox to enter the Misty Pavilion seems to be an option … It doesn't matter how serious the things that everyone wrote are. What's important is that the handle of the matter has fallen into the hands of the Saint State. The handling of the problem can be big or small for the Saint State … This trial should be premeditated. "
Everyone looked pensive. According to what he said, the situation was already somewhat obvious. It was not hard to imagine the deeper meaning behind it.
Gong Lince continued to ask, "What happened after that?"
Niu Youdao spread out his hands, "There was nothing after that. We had just received the notice to hunt the demon fox and Luo Fangfei came. She forcefully sent me out of the Saint State. God knows what happened after that."
Everyone looked at each other. This matter was indeed a little strange. No one could figure it out. Was it good for Niu Youdao or bad for Niu Youdao? No one could figure it out.
"That's the situation. I have told the sect what should be said and what should not be said. I do not have the authority to participate in the decision. You guys can slowly discuss what to do next. I will not disturb you guys anymore. I will go back first. "Niu Youdao threw down his words and left.
Gong Lince seemed to have woken up from a dream and hurriedly shouted, "Junior Martial Brother, wait."
Niu Youdao turned around, "What other instructions does the Sect Master have?"
"You did well on this trip to the Saint State." Gong Lince walked to his side, and using the opportunity of avoiding his gaze, he quickly gave Yan Li a look.
At first, Yan Li did not understand what it meant until Gong Lince gave him another look and pointed to the back of the mountain. Yan Li finally understood and quietly left from the back of the hall.
Yuan An, Fu Junrang, Yin Yide, and Mo Lingxue exchanged looks, as if they knew what was going on.
In the Purple Golden Cave, Yuan An and Fu Junrang were on the same side, Yin Yide and Mo Lingxue were on the same side, and the last two were more neutral. Sometimes, the four of them would support each other.
Sometimes, there was no helping it. The positions of power in the entire Purple Golden Cave were basically controlled by Gong Lince. Shen Baochun, who oversaw the Yan Imperial Palace, Yue Yuan, who oversaw the Gong Province, and Qiao Tianguang, who oversaw the Bo Province, were all Gong Lince's people.
Gong Lince was personally overseeing the sect, and the power in the secular world was also held by Gong Lince's people. The only opportunity they could take advantage of was that Gong Lince's power in the day-to-day decision-making of the sect was insufficient.
At this time, Gong Lince was dragging Niu Youdao to talk about all sorts of things.
Niu Youdao wasn't someone to be trifled with. He had always been suspicious, so he sensed that something was wrong. He patiently pondered over the other party's intentions for a while before asking, "Sect Leader, what exactly do you want to say? If you have something to say, why don't you just say it? Your concern makes me feel very strange. "
Yuan An and Fu Junrang looked at each other and found it funny. Gong Lince had a lot of power in the sect and had always been able to handle the internal affairs with ease. They didn't expect that there would be a time when he couldn't display his power.
Gong Lince sighed, "Junior Brother, what I want to say is that you are an elder of the Purple Golden Cave. Sometimes, you have to consider some things from the perspective of the sect."
Niu Youdao said, "Sect Master, I don't understand what you're saying. I've already told you the truth about the training and the things that Ding Wei asked me to write. If I didn't consider it from the perspective of the sect, would I have to take the risk and write those trivial things? Do you really think I can't find fault with the Purple Golden Cave? "
Gong Lince said, "That's the right thing to do. In fact, some things are not that big of a deal. Once everyone gets over it, it will be over. Don't think too much about it."
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows and suddenly said, "Sect Master, please don't tell me that something happened to the Thatched Cottage just after I left for a few days."
Since he was already back, some things couldn't be hidden anymore. Gong Lince could only tell the truth, "Something did happen, but it's not a big deal. There was a conflict between your courtyard and the disciples of the sect, but it has been resolved."
"Conflict?" Niu Youdao's tone was a little strange, "Someone died in the Thatched Cottage?"
Gong Lince said seriously, "You're thinking too much. A small conflict won't result in a death."
No one died. Niu Youdao's tense heartstrings relaxed a little, "Sect Master, what exactly happened? Why don't you explain it clearly?"
"It's really not a big deal. It's just that a disciple had a quarrel with a matchmaker, which led to some conflict …" Gong Lince roughly explained what had happened. Of course, he downplayed the nature of the conflict to prevent others from getting angry after hearing it.
Niu Youdao laughed after hearing it. He put on a fake smile and said, "This is interesting. I know what kind of person a matchmaker is. When I was around, she wouldn't say such crazy things. Now that I'm gone, she should be even more obedient. For her to say something like that, she doesn't seem like the matchmaker who has been with me for so many years. It's good that no one died. It's a small matter, easy to solve. Sect Master, where's my sword? "
Gong Lince was stunned, "What sword?"
