When the three jars of wine were brought out from the courtyard of the thatched cottage, Gong Lince called out to stop them. "Wait!"
He raised his hand and gestured for Yan Li to check if there was anything wrong with the wine.
Yan Li didn't find anything wrong with the wine, so he gave the three jars of wine to Guan Qingya and the other two.
How could there be no problems with the wine that had been tampered with? The three Bitter Divine Pills had already been crushed and attached to the inside of the wine jars. There was no problem when they checked it, but it would be a problem if they used their magic power to break it.
It was already a problem that they didn't pour the wine and let the three drink it slowly.
With Gong Lince's cooperation, the fates of the people below were already decided.
"Elder Niu, we were rude and impetuous. You are a great person, please forgive us. We will drink this wine as an apology to you!"
Guan Qingya and the other two apologized first, then stood in a row under the afterglow of the setting sun and gulped down the wine.
After drinking, their stomachs bulged. They cupped their hands and retreated to the side in low spirits.
Facing the three again, Niu Youdao didn't say anything. As for the resentment in Guan Qingya's eyes, he didn't care about it.
Of course, this scene of apology was not seen by many people in the Purple Golden Cave, and it was not good to see, so Gong Lince dispersed a large number of disciples who surrounded the area.
Ju An, who had been watching the whole thing, quietly left.
Niu Youdao noticed it and walked to the side of the elders. "There's no time like the present. Let's settle the marriage between Ju An and Wen Mo 'er today!"
Gong Lince said, "Isn't it too hasty?"
Niu Youdao said, "I heard that Wen Mo 'er has many suitors. Isn't it enough that Guan Qingya came out of nowhere to make trouble? I don't want to be a busybody. Let's make a decision soon! "
Gong Lince said, "It's too hasty. Ju An is Elder Zhong's man after all. We have to at least get Elder Zhong's permission."
Niu Youdao said, "I'll go and persuade Master."
Gong Lince counted the days with his fingers and said, "Three days later! Three days later is a good date. If Elder Zhong agrees, we can do it three days later. We can't let the girl suffer too much. We have to make some preparations. "
Niu Youdao: "Okay, we'll do as you say, Sect Leader!"
Guan Qingya, who was listening on the side, felt miserable. Not only did he end up like this, but he also hastened Wen Mo 'er's marriage. He felt terrible that the woman he had loved for so many years was going to become another man's woman.
But what could he do? He hated the fact that his status was too low and that he did not have enough power. He could only secretly make up his mind to work hard and if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely find Niu Youdao to avenge his humiliation!
The other elders didn't have any objections to this. To them, a Wen Mo 'er wasn't much. No matter how beautiful she was, it wasn't their turn to eat her.
Just like that, the storm passed and everything was settled. Gong Lince and the others left.
As the sun sets, the tired birds return to the forest. Niu Youdao stands outside the courtyard with his sword in hand.
Guan Fangyi personally checked the three empty wine jars and confirmed that the medicine attached to them had dissolved in the wine and been drunk by the three people. She walked to Niu Youdao and said in a low voice, "Looks like Gong Lince really did it."
The medicine was set up here, but after the wine was handed over, they didn't have a chance to break the contents of the wine jars. Instead, they got through Gong Lince's men.
Niu Youdao said, "After all, it's such a big deal. It's easy for him to make the right choice."
Guan Fangyi said, "Their stomachs are full of wine. I'm afraid they won't be able to digest it in a short period of time. Will the three people spit it out later?"
Niu Youdao said, "Now that Gong Lince has made his move, do you think the three of them still have a chance to spit it out?"
Guan Fangyi sighed inwardly. Gong Lince had prepared these three jars of wine before the incident. It seemed that he had predicted from the beginning that Gong Lince would compromise.
Yuan Gang frowned at the side. While he was itching to kill Guan Qingya and the other two, he would not stoop to something as despicable as poisoning someone. Moreover, he and Feng Guaner had been poisoned in the same way, and it was the same for Shang Chaozong and Feng Ruonan.
Daoye's character was neither good nor evil. He often used dishonorable means. It wasn't that Yuan Gang didn't say anything, but it was useless.
Similarly, with Yuan Gang's unyielding character, it was useless no matter what Niu Youdao said.
Niu Youdao turned around and looked at Yuan Gang, who was covered in bandages. He sighed and said, "It's not good to implicate those who attacked you. If too many people are involved, Gong Lince will never agree. Our strength is limited, and we have to bow our heads when it's time. There's no other way, we can only stop here! Let's kill the chicken to warn the monkey. From now on, the people under the Purple Golden Cave won't dare to act rashly against the Thatched Cottage. "
Yuan Gang said, "They are just doing their duty. This matter has nothing to do with them."
"Go back and recuperate. I'll go to the Tortoise Pavilion." Niu Youdao left after saying that. He had just returned from the Saint Land, and it was reasonable for him to pay a visit to Zhong Guzi.
Guan Fangyi waved her hand and called Xu Laoliu over. She gestured for him to destroy the three empty jars, and she went with Niu Youdao.
As soon as Niu Youdao arrived at the Tortoise Pavilion, Ju An took the initiative to enter the pavilion after saluting him. After a while, Niu Youdao was invited in.
After Niu Youdao entered and knelt down, Zhong Guzi, who was as steady as a statue, opened his eyes. "The conflict has been resolved?"
Ju An had already told him about the process and the situation, but he was afraid that Ju An only saw the surface, so he asked this question. In fact, this was indeed the case. What Ju An saw was indeed the surface, and he did not know the process of compromise behind the scenes.
Niu Youdao did not mention the dirty transaction of human lives behind the scenes. He lightly said, "It should be resolved. This time, it was really some people who went too far, so I had to be so tough. I did not mean to make things difficult for the Purple Golden Cave. I hope Master can understand. "
Zhong Guzi was just asking. He had no intention to intervene in this matter. From the beginning, he had an attitude of staying out of the matter. He was the Highest Elder of the Purple Golden Cave, and also the nominal Master of Niu Youdao. It was not appropriate for him to side with either the Thatched Cottage or the Purple Golden Cave. At this point, between selfishness and public interest, there was no need for him to take sides. His silent attitude was always his attitude, and no one could blame him.
He was only concerned about whether the matter had passed or not. Since it was all right, he did not say anything more. He changed his tone and asked about other things. "How is the situation in the Saint Land? Why did you come back after only a few days?" This was what he really cared about, and it was also the reason why he took the initiative to open his eyes.
"I also don't understand this matter …" Niu Youdao did not hide anything from him, and told him the details of the matter in detail.
Zhong Guzi's eyes flickered. He pondered for a while, but still could not figure it out. Finally, he slowly closed his eyes. "Be careful."
"Yes!" Niu Youdao agreed, and then reported, "There is one thing that needs Master's approval. I have discussed it with the Sect Leader, and feel that Ju An and Wen Mo 'er's marriage should be done sooner rather than later. We have decided to let them get married in three days. What does Master think?"
Zhong Guzi closed his eyes. Slowly, he said, "You are Ju An's Martial Uncle. This matter is up to you. There is no need to ask me."
"Okay, I understand. I will not disturb Master's quiet cultivation. I will take my leave. "Niu Youdao bowed, got up, and left.
He also knew that the old man should not be disturbed. There was no need to say anything if there was nothing to do. The old man was a man of few words, and did not want to waste his breath. There was no point in talking to a blockhead. It was enough that he came and showed his manners …
Knowing that Yu Cang had met Niu Youdao, the heads of the three major sects of the Kingdom of Song asked Yu Cang what happened. Yu Cang refused to say, and only said that it was nothing. In addition, Niu Youdao had returned, and there was no need to discuss some matters with Zijin Cave anymore. In addition, he did not know what happened to Zijin Cave, and he had given the Bitter Divine Pill to Niu Youdao. He did not know what kind of trouble would arise. To avoid arousing suspicion, Yu Cang said goodbye and quickly slipped away.
The heads of the three major sects of the Kingdom of Song wanted to meet Niu Youdao again, but were rejected by Gong Lince. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had stopped them.
Not only Yu Cang, but Gong Lince also did the same. He did not want the matter of the Sage State to be publicized. Trouble came from the mouth, and he was afraid of causing trouble.
There was no other way. Since Niu Youdao had returned, there was no need for them to discuss some matters with Zijin Cave anymore. The heads of the three major sects of the Kingdom of Song could only say goodbye and leave.
A banquet was held in the Thatched Cottage Villa because everyone was happy to celebrate Daoye's return.
Yuan Fang stood behind Niu Youdao with a smiling face. He held a wine jar and poured wine for Niu Youdao with great hospitality.
Guan Fangyi, who was sitting next to him, smiled like a flower. The matter of being beaten seemed to have melted in her bright smile. It was unknown whether she could really forget it. Maybe she was used to it.
Yuan Gang did not show up. He was alone in his room. He took off the bandages and was almost naked. His fists were at his waist, and his abdomen was moving up and down in a hemispherical shape. He breathed in and out red mist from his nose and mouth. The wounds on his body were slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After the handover of all matters, Guan Qingya and the other two, who had received the new appointment decrees of their sects, were about to leave.
Yan Li personally sent the three off and used his authority to transfer large flying beasts for the three of them.
Yan Li was worried that the three of them would fall into the hands of Niu Youdao after they left this place. Because Niu Youdao's influence was enormous, he had a close relationship with a certain assassin organization, and he was brothers with the demons and ghosts from overseas. At the same time, he held great benefits in his hands. It would not be difficult for him to mobilize some assassins to kill the three of them. Back when Niu Youdao went to the Mystery Territory of Tiandu, he was able to send assassins to kill Guo Qingkong, the Elder of Xiao Yao Palace who was in contact with the Shang Dynasty.
Everyone knew that it was Niu Youdao who did it, but it was still an unsolved case. Xiao Yao Palace could not find any evidence, nor could they find a chance to do anything to Niu Youdao.
With the previous example, Yan Li evaluated Niu Youdao and the other two, saying that Niu Youdao was a person who could be shameless in the open and could be shameless in the dark. He was a person who only cared about the result and did not care much about the process, and would do anything to achieve his goal. He was a person who could do and was capable of doing such things.
For this reason, Yan Li had to take precautions. He personally arranged for the three to leave secretly so that they would not be discovered by Niu Youdao.
He repeatedly reminded the three of them to try their best not to leave the Boundless Pavilion after arriving at the Boundless Pavilion. Otherwise, the assassins sent by Niu Youdao might take advantage of the loophole. Once something happened outside, without any evidence to prove that it was Niu Youdao who did it, the sect wouldn't easily accuse an elder. At that time, even if they died, they would die for nothing. He reminded the three of them to be careful.
Judging from Elder Yan's words, it was very likely that Niu Youdao would not let them off so easily. His instructions made the three shudder with fear.
Guo Miaosheng and An Taihua were filled with regret. They regretted their involvement in Guan Qingya's matter and perjured themselves. However, they also knew that they had no other choice. Even if they were to go back in time, they would still make the same choice. There were many things that they had no choice in. If they did not help Guan Qingya, they would still end up in a miserable state. Guan Qingya's faction would not let them off.
Not long after the three secretly left, Niu Youdao left the thatched cottage after the banquet. He went to look for Gong Lince and conveyed Zhong Guzi's attitude so that Gong Lince could arrange the marriage as soon as possible.
Not long after Niu Youdao had left Gong Lince's side, several large flying beasts in the night sky had already swooped down towards the Purple Gold Cave.
