Niu Youdao understood what he meant and offended everyone. There will be times when Niu Youdao will be sad in the future.
As soon as the bell rang, Ju An from outside quickly entered.
Zhong Guzi put down the bell: "Please come over to the four supreme elders."
"Yes!" Ju An glanced at Niu Youdao again, turned around and left quickly...
Gong Linche and others were waiting outside. When they saw Ju An coming out, Gong Linche immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"
Ju An shook his head, said nothing, and flew away in a flash.
After waiting for a while, everyone soon saw the other four Supreme Elders from Zijin Cave arriving one after another. They did not come towards them, but went straight to Guimian Pavilion one by one.
Everyone looked at each other, a little nervous, feeling that things were getting a bit big.
Although they are the people in power in Zijindong's generation, those supreme elders are either their masters or their masters and uncles.
Everyone was uneasy for a while, and then the four supreme elders came out again.
Chun Xinliang, Tu Kuai, Zhen Juehuan, and Pei Ping, these four old men stood on the steps and stared at the group of people at the bottom for a while. Their faces were not very good anyway, and they were obviously dissatisfied with the senior officials of Zijin Cave.
The four of them then walked down the steps again, and Tu Kuai said, "Don't bother me by being stuck here. Could you please come with us?"
The four of them left first. Gong Lince and others looked at each other, and then they could only follow them honestly.
After a while, Niu Youdao came out of Guimian Pavilion, looked at the empty outside, nodded and smiled at Ju An, who was slightly leaning forward, and then calmly left with his sword.
Ju An went inside for a while, then came out, closed the door, and went into a small room beside him to sit cross-legged and meditate...
Guan Fangyi, who left the back mountain with Niu Youdao, turned back three times with each step, looking in the direction of Guimian Pavilion from time to time, and whispered: "Gong Lince and others seemed very uneasy just now. What did you sue them for?"
"It's nothing, these guys are too immodest..." Niu Youdao told a group of people about the secret recipe.
After hearing this, Guan Fangyi said strangely: "You have already blocked it, why did you come here to complain? Isn't this offending someone? It will be strange if they don't bear grudges against you later."
Niu Youdao: "Do you think they will give up without even biting you? In this kind of sect, if you are in it, they have many opportunities to put your shoes on. Since I have a backer, why not use it?"
Guan Fangyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What kind of backer is this? You are a cheap disciple. How can people not know what's going on? It's weird to be your backer."
Niu Youdao: "Find an excuse to get in touch and find out about the old guy."
Guan Fangyi sighed and understood, "That doesn't mean I have offended them. Mr. Dao, you will be here for a long time in the future. Is it appropriate if the relationship becomes too tense?" His face was full of worry.
Niu Youdao: "As long as there are people gathering together, harmonious things cannot exist. There are many of them, and they are more familiar with the rules than you. You can't win them by reasoning. The more you hide, the more you will be wronged. Fighting for survival is the way to go.
reason."
Guan Fangyi: "So you're going to file a complaint?"
Niu Youdao: "Why don't you complain if you have someone to complain to? Don't mess with me. It's my fault. Even if you pay me a penny less, I will come to complain immediately. If there is anything wrong, I will complain. As long as they don't mind the trouble, I will
It’s not too troublesome. I don’t have the energy to play with them about trivial things like wearing small shoes. Before going outside, you must first settle down at home!”
Isn't this a rogue act? Guan Fangyi was speechless, but she understood what he meant. After doing it a few times, those people would definitely not dare to continue to cause trouble in small things. It does have a certain deterrent effect...
A group of senior officials from Zijin Cave came to the residence of Taishang Elder Tu Kuai.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, before everyone could stand firm, Tu Kuai turned around and asked, "Tell me, what's going on with the secret recipe?"
Gong Linche and others secretly glanced at each other out of the corner of their eyes, cursing in their hearts. They found that Niu Youdao was too unkind. After a few words of exchange, they turned around and immediately filed a complaint.
This was really beyond the expectations of a group of people. No one expected that Niu Youdao had just become a disciple, had just become the elder of Zijin Cave, and was not familiar with Mr. Zhong. He could just turn around and complain. He was really not afraid of offending anyone.
The key is, I didn’t ask for your secret recipe, and I didn’t get angry. Everyone just said a few words in a friendly manner, and you went to complain. Are you sick?
Yan Li sighed in his heart. He had tried to persuade everyone, but if they didn't listen and insisted on making trouble, he knew that Mr. Niu was not a good person.
Seeing that no one was talking, the others Tu Kuai couldn't say anything, so he directly pointed at his apprentice Mo Lingxue.
"Master, it's actually nothing..." Mo Lingxue told what happened.
After hearing the story, it matched what Niu Youdao said, proving that Niu Youdao was not lying. The faces of the four supreme elders became even more ugly.
Pei Ping, the supreme elder, said slowly: "Logically speaking, the few of us have retreated, and now you are the ones in charge of the Zijin Cave. We accept the support and shouldn't say anything more, but are you doing this a little too much?"
Elder Fu Jun gave way: "Uncle Pei, this Niu Youdao has huge influence on the secular world and controls his own financial path. Shouldn't there be checks and balances? What's more, according to the sect's rules, the property of all disciples in the sect belongs to the sect.
You can give him the right to operate the sect, or you can let him make more profits, but it must be handed over to the sect for unified dispatch, otherwise what are the rules? With so many disciples in the sect, everyone must have a way to survive, and the rich cannot die rich.
, starve to death, if that really happens, where will the hearts of the people be and what is the basis for maintaining the existence of a sect?"
Pei Ping: "I didn't say you shouldn't exercise checks and balances. As the leaders of Zijin Cave, as long as you act according to the sect's rules, it's up to you to decide what to do. We also believe that everything you do is for the sake of the sect.
Okay, it’s for the sake of the disciples of the entire sect. But are you too impatient? They have just joined, and you are so impatient. Is it too ugly to look at, so how can they swallow the sigh in their hearts?"
Fu Junrang: "Uncle Pei, I just mentioned it and he declined it politely. We didn't force him. He was just looking for trouble."
As his name suggests, Tu Kuai seemed to be unable to hold back when he heard these words, and said angrily: "Who is looking for trouble? You all know what is going on with Senior Brother Zhong. He has only a few years left to live. No matter what the situation is when you accept this apprentice, you
It’s a bit too impatient!”
"Senior Brother Zhong has just accepted a disciple, and you are making trouble for him. You can't help it even for a while and don't take him with you for the night. Are there any of you like this? Do you think that Senior Brother Zhong is about to die? Are you like this?
I don’t give you, my uncle, any face at all! After all, he has the title of master and apprentice. If you do this, what will Senior Brother Zhong think? Think about it for yourselves, what does it mean to call us over without seeing you?
"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other and were speechless. Such words indeed seemed to be a bit unreasonable for them.
Gong Lince, who had been standing silently by the side, put his hands in shame and said, "Uncles and uncles, I didn't consider this matter carefully. I know I was wrong."
The leader spoke up and admitted his mistake in person, and the four elders had to give him face, otherwise the leader would not be able to step down.
Grand Supreme Elder Chun Xinliang spoke up and smoothed things over: "Take this as a warning. You need to be more cautious when making decisions on such matters in the future. Niu Youdao, for the time being, I can appease you and give you, Uncle Zhong, some face."
Your Uncle Zhong doesn’t have many years left to live, so it’s not appropriate to distract him anymore, you all will grow old at some point.”
"Yes!" Gong Lince and others agreed together.
Afterwards, Gong Lince changed the subject again and discussed with several elders about sending two elders to the Shang Chaozong to take over the defense and security of the Shang Chaozong.
This matter was no small matter and related to the huge interests of Zijin Cave. Several elders immediately agreed and expressed their compliance with the master's arrangement.
The previous things have passed like this. Facing people like Gong Linche, it is not easy for a few old guys to pursue them too much. A reminder is enough.
Everyone left at this point, wanting to give face to Zhong Guzi and appease Niu Youdao. Gong Lince invited everyone to go with him.
As a result, everyone declined to do anything important and let others do it for them.
Gong Lince knew that they actually didn't want to bow their heads to Niu Youdao. They were losing face and had no choice but to force it, so he had to drag Yan Li along to find Niu Youdao.
When people arrived at the thatched cottage, the host and guest sat down. After Guan Fangyi served tea, Gong Lince reminded Niu Youdao again: "Elder Niu, this is the time when Uncle Zhong is guarding Shouyuan. It's not a big deal. Don't worry about it in the future."
Go and disturb me, it is not what a disciple should do to harm Master Yangshou."
Niu Youdao nodded: "It would be great if everyone could think like the leader. I thought some people wanted to piss him off to death."
Yan Li smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, brother, the matter is over, don't mention it again. You are not such a stingy person, are you?"
Niu Youdao glared, "No, I'm really not a generous person. I might as well make it clear. I don't want to cause trouble, but I don't want to be bullied either. If anyone deliberately seeks trouble, even if it's something as small as a sesame seed.
, I will immediately run to ask Master to make the decision! Some people wish that their old man would die early. I have to let him know that he cannot die in an unknown way. If you have the ability, tie me up as an elder and gag him.
Go up. In the eyes of some people, being a sect leader is nothing, you can just assassinate the disciple of the Supreme Elder!"
I'll go! Gong Linche and Yan Li were both speechless. This is acting like a rogue. Do you have the demeanor of a dignified elder of Zijindong? Are you so shameless?
Guan Fangyi on the side looked up at the sky.
After comforting him and leaving, Gong Lince was a little puzzled, suspecting that he had made a serious mistake. As he was walking with his hands behind his hands, he sighed to Yan Li beside him, "You really asked for it, who did you find to be this guy?"
If your master is not good, why do you choose Master Zhong?"
Yan Li blinked and said, "Master, that guy, do you think everything will be fine if you don't find Master Zhong? Do you believe that if other junior uncles and junior uncles were replaced, he could still do other things?"
"..." Gong Lince frowned and was speechless, regretting a little. He didn't know whether it was wrong or right to let Niu Youdao join Zijindong and cause trouble as soon as he came.
However, it is too late to regret this now. He has become an elder of Zijin Cave.
Outside the thatched cottage, watching the guests go, Niu Youdao turned around and said: "Matchmaker, send the message to Peng Youzai from Tianyumen and Huanglie from Dachan Mountain and ask them to come see me!"
PS: Thank you "Brother Cangshui" for the two little red flowers!
