Serving tea, I noticed that the woman serving tea was also the woman who had embarrassed me before.
Guan Fangyi asked, "Palace Master, who is this?"
Yi Shu glanced at her, thinking she was going to sue him.
Long Xiu didn't know anything about it, but he still smiled and replied: "Young disciple Yi Shu, I am a closed disciple."
Guan Fangyi immediately said to Yi Shu: "Miss Yi may not know yet, but your master was very kind to me back then. He was generous and spent millions of dollars on me."
Why are you talking about this? Niu Youdao winked at her repeatedly, but she pretended not to see it. He was just telling Yi Shu.
Yi Shu glanced at his master.
Long Xiu was dumbfounded by what he said, shaking his head repeatedly, "In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years have passed. I was so frivolous at that time that I'm afraid the matchmaker would laugh. But it's still better to be young!" He didn't shy away from it, it was obvious.
I really let go.
Guan Fangyi: "I don't dare to laugh. I regret it all the time. If I had known that you could become the head of Xiaoyao Palace, I would have insisted on marrying you."
"Haha!" Long Xiu sat cross-legged on the short couch and laughed up to the sky. He smiled heartily and pointed at Guan Fangyi. "There were many people who admired you back then. I, Long Xiu, am not good-looking, so I can't catch your matchmaker's eye."
Although I said this in a polite way, I knew in my heart that if I had really been with a woman of this reputation at that time, there would have been opposition within the sect and I would have been criticized by my fellow sects. As for my mentality at the time, if this woman had
If you really promise to yourself, I'm afraid I won't let it go easily. The result of enduring the pressure will definitely anger the master, and I'm afraid I won't be able to become the head of Xiaoyao Palace.
Of course, another result may occur. Under pressure, I may fail this woman.
Guan Fangyi: "In the final analysis, I was blind and missed it. Otherwise, I might be the palace master's wife now. Who dares to bully me?"
Long Xiu smiled and asked, "Who dares to bully you?"
"There are many people bullying me." Guan Fangyi pointed at Niu Youdao: "He often bullied me and deceived me out of Qijing. Now I am working as a maid. Lord Dragon Palace, you must seek justice for me.
ah!"
"Oh!" Long Xiu said with a straight face, pretending to reprimand: "Niu Youdao, this is your fault!"
Niu Youdao smiled bitterly: "Palace Master, do you think she looks like someone who can be bullied by me? Have you ever seen a maid who splashes tea on the master's face for nothing? Who is bullying whom?"
Guan Fangyi glared, "You asked for it."
"Haha!" Long Xiu smiled heartily again. He took a sip of tea and his smile gradually faded. He looked at Niu Youdao and his tone changed, "Niu Youdao, what do you want from me?"
Niu Youdao stood up and said respectfully: "When I came to the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, I heard that the master of the palace was here. I didn't dare to disturb him, and I didn't dare to ignore him, so I had to bite the bullet and come to pay homage in fear."
Long Xiu smiled half-heartedly and said, "Just come to pay a visit?"
Niu Youdao said respectfully: "Yes!"
Long Xiu was a little surprised.
After that, it was true as Niu Youdao said, he didn't mention anything serious, he just came to pay a visit, listened to Guan Fangyi and Long Xiu talking and laughing, and occasionally interjected.
With an old man whom he once admired coming to flatter him, Long Xiu was in a good mood today and was quite happy to be teased by Guan Fangyi.
After the guests left, Long Xiu leaned on the railing and remained silent by the waterside pavilion.
Who has never been young, and who has never forgotten the past deep in their memory.
When the debris started to rise, when we met again, the beautiful woman was no longer the charming lady she once was. It made people full of emotions, but also a little uninterested. I realized that the past was really in the past, and it would be better to commemorate the meeting than to commemorate it.
Yi Shu returned from seeing off his guests, walked gently to Long Xiu, and asked, "Master, what do you think of Niu Youdao?"
Long Xiu: "Being a leader among the younger generation is not an easy thing! If it weren't for his poor background, lack of power and background, you brothers and sisters would not be as good as him."
Yi Shu was a little disdainful, "I think he is nothing more than a flatterer. Master, don't be fooled by his appearance!"
The way Niu Youdao occasionally interrupted to flatter him made her want to vomit.
If it weren't for the appearance of the matchmaker from Qi Jing and her familiarity with the master, which made it difficult for her to get angry, she would have made Niu Youdao look good on the spot, and she might even have to deal with it.
"Flattery? Do you think so?" Long Xiu looked back at her, then looked back at the night outside, "Of course you have the right not to flatter, but he doesn't. He has to bow his head when he should. You can
You can say he is flattering, or you can say he is a man who can bend and stretch, it depends on how you think about it. Let’s see, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and sooner or later the two major forces in Nanzhou will have to show off to see who is in charge in the end!"
Yi Shu: "Master hopes that Niu Youdao will win?"
Long Xiu said expressionlessly: "Whoever wins or loses will not affect the interests of Xiaoyao Palace. It doesn't matter who wins. I hope the strong one will win! We can't just rush in front of Yan State here. There must be people below who can charge and fight.
People who can consume their opponents, understand?"
Yi Shu was silent for a moment and then tried to ask, "Master, is that matchmaker beautiful?"
Long Xiu smiled and sighed, "Isn't she beautiful? Of course, she is much inferior now, far from what she was back then. Back then, she was known as the most beautiful woman in the world, and she was so gorgeous! Master, I almost couldn't control it back then."
Yi Shu curled her lips and asked again: "Does the master have a good relationship with her?" This was what she wanted to know.
Long Xiu: "You are overthinking. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
…
Returning to his living room, Niu Youdao, who both entered the yard, was also teasing Guan Fangyi about his relationship, "You dare to say anything. You and Long Xiu have a good relationship."
Guan Fangyi disdainfully said: "Where is the relationship? There is no friendship in the first place. It's just fun for people to have nothing to do. Do you think it doesn't matter if they are at that point? I only have relationship if I have value. No.
Utilization value can only be regarded as an understanding at best."
Niu Youdao chuckled: "You can see clearly."
Guan Fangyi snorted, "After so many years, I have seen through it all. I don't want to go, but you insist on dragging me there. If others don't care, just let me go. If you meet someone who cares, and they are worried that I will affect their reputation, drag me along."
, it might be counterproductive."
Niu Youdao somewhat understood why she didn't want to mention her relationship with those people, and said with a smile: "You have never met anyone, and you will naturally know what kind of people to say when you meet them. I am not worried at all.
I just want you to calm down the atmosphere, what can happen?"
Speaking of this, Guan Fangyi became curious, "I never saw you mention anything serious from the beginning to the end. Instead, you kept hinting to me to talk to her more. What on earth are you going to do when you meet her? Just go through the motions like this?"
Two words popped out of Niu Youdao's mouth, "Play chess!"
Guan Fangyi blinked and realized what game he was setting, and asked curiously: "What chess game are you playing?"
Niu Youdao stopped there, "Okay, you go to bed early. I will take you to visit other houses tomorrow. I have to rely on your face to sit there for a while."
It was so appetizing that Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes and said "poof" to him, "Don't call me, I won't go!" After that, she turned around and left.
Niu Youdao pretended not to hear, since there would be a way to let her go when the time comes.
Yuan Gang, who was in the shadow, walked over and asked, "Are you okay?"
Niu Youdao shook his head slightly and asked: "Over there in Wanxiang City, is there any news about the personnel from Wuliang Mountain?"
Yuan Gang: "The manpower gathered from Wuliang Mountain has been deployed in the city to keep an eye on it. So far, no one from Dachan Mountain has been found. In terms of time, if we are not in a hurry, we should not have arrived yet, but it will be soon. Still.
There is a possibility that they have changed their appearance, and since I don’t know them, I’m afraid it will be difficult to find them.”
Niu Youdao: "The illusion world has not been sealed. After Dachan Mountain learns the news, it will definitely send people to check the situation. If you don't stay in Vientiane City, you will come to Wanxiang Gate. I will continue to watch over there in Vientiane City and notify me immediately if you find it.
.I will ask Chao Shenghuai to help check the Wanshou Gate, or I can ask him to help search in Wanxiang City."
Yuan Gang: "Is it appropriate to openly look for Chao Shenghuai at the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate?"
Niu Youdao: "There is no need to search openly. The guy is nervous now. He is worried that I will mess around. He will not feel at ease until he finds something unusual and doesn't understand it. I can guarantee that he has been paying attention here and knew that I went to see Xiaoyao.
The people in the palace will take the initiative to come looking for me if they are worried again."
…
The lights were dim, moon butterflies were shining brightly on the beams, and Xihaitang sat cross-legged and closed his eyes on the futon in the hall.
Qiu Shan arrived, walked to the opposite side and sat down cross-legged, "Niu Youdao has already gone to see Long Xiu."
Xihaitang closed his eyes and turned back, "I'll see you when I see you. Is it worth your special trip? Are you going to speak for that Tianyumen again?"
Qiu Shan: "The head has misunderstood. I just want to mention that the meeting took a long time. It took Niu Youdao more than half an hour to come out. I'm afraid it's not as simple as paying homage."
Xihaitang opened his eyes, "Can Long Xiu talk to him for so long?"
Qiu Shan: "I just mentioned it because I felt something was strange. By the way, Niu Youdao also brought someone with him, that Qijing matchmaker."
"She's here too?" Xihaitang was surprised. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly and asked, "Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Niu Youdao herself is nothing, but she is a member of the entourage. Why do I mention her on purpose? Qiu Shan noticed that this person's reaction was wrong and asked suspiciously: "Does the leader know her?"
Seeing that he was looking at her wrongly, Xihaitang knew that he had misunderstood, and immediately explained: "Don't think wrongly, I do know her. She was indeed very famous back then, with no background, and she was not a member of any sect.
The threshold for meeting her is not high. Many people who come and go to Qijing can easily meet her if they have some background. When I went to Qijing to work for my master, I heard that the most beautiful woman in the world lived in Qijing, so naturally I couldn't help but go see her.
Let’s see what the so-called No. 1 in the world is all about. After seeing it, I found that it is nothing more than that, not interesting, just like that.”
Qiu Shan groaned and murmured in his heart, "Why are you reacting like this?"
Seeing that this guy didn't seem to believe it, Xihaitang hesitated to speak. After thinking about it, he didn't bother to explain, so as not to make it worse.
Of course, I also feel a little guilty. It’s not just as simple as meeting once. After meeting once, I took the initiative to go and meet several times. In the end, I had to return because I couldn’t help myself. As a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, it’s impossible for me to be okay.
He has been staying in Qi Jing and not coming back.
