Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie were a little confused. Didn't Elder Niu just tell them not to care about it? Why did they start to care about it in the blink of an eye?
Some truths cannot be explained clearly in one sentence or two. Although they are older than Niu Youdao, they still have a lot to learn from Niu Youdao. Of course, some things cannot be learned just by wanting to learn.
Many people learn the same thing and do the same thing, but only a handful of them may be successful. The principles are the same everywhere, and some things really require talent.
Before the two of them could react, Niu Youdao had already turned around and left the scene, as if he was just letting everyone do what he said.
The two looked at each other and quickly followed.
"Brother..." Shen Yidu shouted anxiously, but Niu Youdao didn't turn around. He glanced at the surrounding situation and suddenly became nervous.
Fuhua, Duan Wuchang, Lang Jingkong and Hong Gaitian exchanged glances, changed their positions, and surrounded Shen Yidu.
Quan Taifeng looked back at Niu Youdao's leaving figure, and then at the surrounded Shen Yidu, wondering whether he should join the encirclement.
"What do you want to do?" Shen Yidu looked around with high vigilance, and already made a gesture, causing two disciples of his sect to rush over and deal with it together.
However, there are definitely more people than here. Except for Kunlin Shu, who was sitting by the bonfire, everyone else gathered around. Even the disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion rushed over without knowing what was going on.
A group of people surrounded the three people from Xiaoyue Pavilion, and the two sides were in a tense situation.
Hong Gaitian sighed: "Brother Shen, we don't want to do anything, but what you did is really too much."
Shen Yidu was angry, "Am I going too far? What kind of good people are you? Don't you have the right to sell cattle?"
Quan Taifeng interrupted, "Please make it clear, I have never betrayed you." He had not yet decided whether to get involved in this matter.
Lang Jingkong: "There are some things that everyone can understand. Niu Youdao himself also expressed his understanding. At least we are telling the truth, but it is wrong for you to make something out of nothing. Niu Youdao has no enmity with you, so you have to arrange it If something happened to put him to death, it would be hard for anyone to accept it, right?"
Shen Yidu said angrily: "The truth of the matter is still unclear. Whether I am talking nonsense or not will not be known until I meet our Pavilion Master."
Fuhua stood enchantingly, picking her beautiful nails under the firelight, "It's no longer important what the truth is, what's important is that you did it without knowing it..."
As for what to do there, Niu Youdao didn't even look at it. He walked to the bonfire lit in Xiaoyue Pavilion and sat down. He stuck his sword in front of him, crossed his legs and closed his eyes to meditate. What happened just now , he reorganized it in his mind.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie were on alert, looking at the encirclement on the other side from time to time.
Kun Linshu also looked over there from time to time. He didn't know what was going on. For some reason, a group of people surrounded the people from Xiaoyue Pavilion in a blink of an eye.
After a while, Qin Guan leaned over Niu Youdao and said, "Elder, Fuhua wants to see you."
Niu Youdao said "hmm", slowly opened his eyes, and turned his head to look at Fuhua, who was walking towards him with a smile.
Fuhua walked aside and smoothed down her skirt behind her, then sat down next to him. She handed out a piece of cloth with her slender hands and said: "This is the 20 million IOU written by Shen Yidu. He only promised to do this. "Brother, let's see how it goes. If you're not satisfied, then go hard with him." After saying that, he looked at his words.
Niu Youdao received the piece of cloth, shook it open and looked at the content. He found that it was not a normal IOU, but just a promise from Shen Yidu. He promised to go back and verify with Yu Cang afterwards. If it was not blackmail, if it was really framed by him. Niu Youdao is willing to take on the responsibility of the 20 million.
Niu Youdao knew in his heart that Shen Yidu had already made the biggest concession by agreeing to this, and he was forced to do so. Before the matter was confirmed, it was impossible for Shen Yidu to directly state that he owed 20 million, and he could not step down because of his face. The only way to force yourself is to fight tooth and nail.
"I see what my eldest sister and brothers are thinking. The matter is over, let's do it like this." Niu Youdao smiled and put the piece of cloth into his bag.
"I know that I am a sensible person." Fuhua chuckled and punched his shoulder with her pink fist in a flirtatious manner. Then she stood up and went back to the encirclement. She didn't want to fight with Shen Yidu easily. Life and death, after all, Xiaoyue Pavilion is not that easy to mess with.
After breathing heavily, the people around dispersed, and most of them came back. Only Shen Yidu had a dark face. Seeing that his campfire was occupied by Niu Youdao, he couldn't afford to offend him, so he had to sit on the table left by the Piaomiao Pavilion staff. Next to the bonfire.
After what had just happened, he finally understood that he was the outsider here. There was Chao Jing before, but Chao Jing disappeared, and now he was the only one left. Everyone else was sworn brothers with Niu Youdao.
It was frustrating to write an IOU, but the situation forced him to write it down. However, this was 20 million, not a small amount. He didn't know how to explain it to Yucang when he went back. What would happen in the future? , he doesn’t know, now he can only pass one level after another. If he really goes back, he can only explain it like this.
He was puzzled, how could Niu Youdao be okay? He even drew his sword to provoke him. Why didn't Piaomiao Pavilion give Niu Youdao a favor?
Not only did he want to know the reason, but other people also found excuses to approach Niu Youdao to inquire about the situation. However, Niu Youdao was casual and did not want to mention the matter more. He only told them that the less they knew, the better. Don't get yourself into trouble.
Having said this, everyone had no choice but to give up.
Early the next morning, Niu Youdao acted as if nothing had happened, and discussed the next meeting place with everyone as usual. This time he did not lead the people from Zijin Cave to run the order, and moved forward according to the plan discussed by everyone.
Shen Yidu also pretended that nothing had happened, but the expression on his face was obviously unnatural.
After they dispersed, Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie found that the elder was still as usual, still had no intention of hunting the demon fox, and still seemed to be taking them for fun.
However, Elder Niu separated from them for a while and didn't know what he was doing. Anyway, when they met again, he brought back a few demon foxes to give them two points. I don't know where they got them, or were they stolen?
In the Great Yuan Holy Land, in the pavilion, Ding Wei sat behind the case and drank tea, listening to Xuan Yao's report, his brows gradually furrowed.
After the report was finished, Ding Wei put down the tea cup and said in a deep voice: "The people from Piaomiao Pavilion robbed him, can you confirm?"
Xuan Yao hesitated and said: "I can't confirm it, but it doesn't sound like he's lying. He said it himself, and he seems to be very confident. He said that he would be able to find out the person who robbed him sooner or later. He may already have some clues. .”
Ding Wei frowned and stood up to leave the case. After wandering in the pavilion for a while, he hesitated and said: "Who is so bold? Could it be the people from our Great Yuan Holy Land who did it?"
Xuan Yao said: "If what he said is true, it's not impossible. He doesn't hesitate to fall out with me, so he must be relying on someone, otherwise he wouldn't be so bold. If he has clues, he obviously doesn't want to tell me.
I don’t dare to dig into it any further, for fear of making the matter bigger and making it impossible for me to step down. If it was really done by one of my own, it would have to be dealt with in secret and should not be made public, otherwise I would not be able to explain it to other companies.
, I came back here specifically to ask sir to make a decision."
Ding Wei continued to wander, and after thinking for a while, he slowly said: "Chao Jing's disappearance really has nothing to do with Niu Youdao?"
Xuan Yao: "It may be a coincidence. Niu Youdao does have proof that has nothing to do with this matter. There is more than one witness and many people can prove it. Unless that group of people collectively committed fraud, that possibility should be unlikely. Since Chao Shenghuai's accident
, Niu Youdao was quite honest in his explanation of the following matters, except that he refused to cooperate when it came to his things being robbed. Sir, this Niu Youdao is indeed too arrogant, and he dares to openly oppose the people of Pianmiao Pavilion. "
"You have to pay the price if you dare to be arrogant. We have the man in our hands, and there are plenty of opportunities to deal with him. He can't run away, so this matter is not urgent." Ding Wei waved his hand, stopped and turned around: "The most urgent thing now is to figure it out.
Are the people who robbed his things from our side?"
Xuan Yao: "What do you want to do, sir?"
Ding Wei walked closer, "I don't know which idiot did it. Don't you know that the Holy Lord is dissatisfied with the Piaomiao Pavilion and has the intention to rectify the Piaomiao Pavilion? What is the difference between openly violating the rules at this time and disobeying the Holy Order? What should the Holy Lord do?
I think it would be of no benefit to anyone if we really provoke the Holy Lords to get tough. Xuan Yao, it’s not appropriate for this matter to go through other people’s hands again, you have to make another trip.”
Xuan Yao: "Sir, just ask."
Ding Wei said in a deep voice: "If you go to the Huangze Death Land again, first find the people from our Great Yuan Holy Land and confirm first to find out whether our people have done this kind of thing. If so, don't leave any evidence and do it right."
Be clean. After the matter is resolved, I will report it to the Holy One." He made a wiping motion on his neck with his fingers.
Xuan Yao: "Yes!"
Ding Wei: "If it is confirmed that it has nothing to do with our people, there is no need for us to cover up other people's affairs and cause trouble. It is not easy to cover up this kind of thing anymore. The more we cover up, the bigger the problem will be. Let Niu Youdao deal with it himself.
Whoever comes out will be the unlucky one. Alas!" There was a melancholy look on his face. He was vaguely aware of some things. The holy will had been decided, and what was supposed to come would come sooner or later, but he didn't know how far the situation would expand.
"Okay." Xuan Yao agreed, and then couldn't help but ask, "If Niu Youdao can't be found out, what if Niu Youdao is confusing the public?" He didn't want to let Niu Youdao off easily, after all, he would be embarrassed.
.
Ding Wei: "After the matter of Huangze's death is over, skin him!"
Xuan Yao smiled, "Yes! I will go to the wilderness of death again."
…
Beside the bonfire at night, Niu Youdao, who was sitting cross-legged, touched a stone. The leaves rolled in the stone came into his hand. Avoiding people, he spread the leaves in his palms and quickly read the contents on the leaves.
Xuan Yao returned to the wasteland again and met with the contestants from Piaomiao Pavilion.
The situation was under control, and the leaves were crushed into pieces in his hands.
There were movements on his hands, but the man was looking at the fire, contemplating and silent.
The three-month training lasted very quickly. When it was almost over, all parties estimated the time and began to return.
