After the group of people had finished chatting, Zhao Xiongge coughed and tilted his head to indicate to Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao understood, called on Guan Fangyi and others to entertain the guests, and walked away with Zhao Xiongge.
Knowing that the two of them had something to talk about in private, the Shang Chaozong couple could only endure it and did not dare to disturb them.
After leaving the villa, two former disciples of the Shangqing Sect stood side by side on the edge of the mountain. Zhao Xiongge spoke first, "Does the monks from all over the world enter the fifth domain, including the Shangqing Sect?"
Niu Youdao knew he was going to say this, "Including! You and I are both going."
Zhao Xiongge turned back to look at him, "You won't even let go to the Qingzong?"
Niu Youdao: "You should have heard about it. It's not about letting go. After the spiritual energy flowing in the five realms is cut off, the Shangqing Sect will continue to stay in the world and will inevitably decline. Haven't you always wanted to revitalize the Shangqing Sect?"
Zhao Xiongge: "After being separated from the human world, I don't know how significant the revitalization of the Shangqing Sect will be. Is it necessary to do this? Is there no other way to solve it?"
Niu Youdao stared at him sternly, "I'm talking to Master Zhao, it was true that what King Ning wanted to do was true. Dongguo Lao'er and Tang Mu secretly assisted, for what purpose? I'm just fulfilling the long-cherished wish left by Dongguo Lao'er and the others. Shangqing Sect It's pitiful now, but once you become the only spiritual force in the world, can you guarantee that you won't change your mind?"
Zhao Xiongge: "As long as I am here, I will not allow it."
Niu Youdao: "It's a joke! You think you are really invincible. If I can bring down the Nine Saints, someone can kill you. It's hard to defend the Shangqing Sect day and night. I'm not telling you, you can keep secrets. You are not good at controlling people in pursuit of profit. Uncle Zhao, it is inappropriate to be so selfish for your own selfishness. Don't harm others or yourself. Think about how the saint died, think about how Dongguo Lao'er and Tang Mu died. Well, there are wars every year, how many people have been killed in vain in this world? Do you want someone to appear in the future and drive out the Shangqing Sect?"
Zhao Xiongge was silent.
Niu Youdao: "Take the Shangqing Sect to the fifth domain. If you want to revitalize it, go to the fifth domain to revitalize it. When you go to the fifth domain, you will be with the Shangqing Sect, and there will be people like me from the Thatched Cottage. It will rise soon. Isn't it enough to dominate one domain? Does the Shangqing Sect also want to dominate the five domains? Don't be too greedy. When you go to the fifth domain, you can fight and kill as much as you like, and don't bring trouble to countless people in the world. Common people, draw a circle and you can play in the circle and have as much fun as you want. As for me, I’m really tired."
"Us?" Zhao Xiongge looked at him, "Are you still unwilling to deal with Qing Zong?"
Niu Youdao: "Countless people have died because of me. My hands are already full of blood. I am not afraid of your laughter. I believe in karma. Not only for the Shangqing Sect, but for everything, I will only watch. No I won’t get involved again, and I will stay away from these right and wrongs.”
Zhao Xiongge smiled and said, "People are in the world. I hope you can avoid them. There are so many people entering the fifth domain. I will see how you hide them." After that, he turned around and left.
Niu Youdao smiled and looked into the distance.
After being distracted for a while, he just turned around and saw a tall woman walking towards him. It was none other than Feng Ruonan.
Feng Ruonan had always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to him alone. This was also Shang Chaozong's intention. There were some things that it was not appropriate for a man to speak.
After all, today's Niu Youdao is not the kid from Jiang Shang who she dared to shoot with her bow. The whole family has to look up to him, and she is also very nervous when she thinks of what she wants to say.
"Master Tao." Feng Ruonan came forward and saluted with a half-crouch.
Seeing this woman's gentle look, Niu Youdao felt funny in his heart, but calmly asked on the outside, "Is something wrong, princess?"
Feng Ruonan observed his words and said, "There is something wrong, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
Niu Youdao smiled, "The princess is seeing someone else. In terms of relationship, almost no one here has known each other earlier than us. I miss our old friendship. There are only you and me in front of us. Regardless of status, we only care about our friendship. If you have anything to say, just say it.”
Feng Ruonan was a little moved in his heart, but the matter was not trivial, so he still said cautiously: "That concubine is so presumptuous. Master Dao, I heard some rumors, I don't know whether they are true or not. I heard that Master Dao and Qing'er are quite close. Some gossips have not only affected Taoist master's reputation, but Qing'er is an unmarried woman after all..."
Niu Youdao raised his hand to stop, "No need to guess, the relationship between the princess and I is indeed very close. To be honest with the princess, I like Qing'er very much. I wonder if the princess is satisfied with this explanation?"
Feng Ruonan perked up after hearing this and asked tentatively: "Then I wonder what your plans are for Qing'er's future?"
Niu Youdao told her directly and clearly, "As long as the princess is willing, I am willing to trade the world for the prince as my sister. My brother is like my father, but I don't know what the prince's attitude is. Of course, if the princess is not willing to follow me, I will not force it."
"Ah..." Feng Ruonan was confused by his direct words and didn't know how to answer.
Niu Youdao was not a fool. He had already known what a group of civil servants and generals were trying to do with the Shang Chaozong, based on his information channels.
The couple came together and brought the child with them, and he knew their purpose well.
But these are nothing. He will not completely deny the merits of those in the Shang Dynasty just because of a slight flaw in his desire for profit. Who can be devoid of selfishness
When it comes to governing the country, those people from Shang Chaozong do have a way of doing it. He can see the people's livelihood and prosperity in Nanzhou before.
In terms of force, the people of Shang Chaozong are also first-rate and can quell evildoers.
Regardless of their martial arts skills, those in the Shang Dynasty Sect had the ability to quickly pacify the world and put the world into a state of cultivation and recuperation.
If it is a piece of cake that cannot be supported, no matter how close the relationship is, he will not support the power of the business faction.
Feng Ruonan was embarrassed to have others see through her hands and feet, and her words were awkward.
Niu Youdao smiled and said, "The princess can tell the prince my attitude, and I will wait for the prince's reply. In addition, the princess would like to ask the princess to come over. I also want to ask the princess's attitude in person. Some things should not be delayed any longer. It’s time to come to an end.”
"Ah? Oh, okay." Feng Ruonan nodded repeatedly, knelt down to salute, and left quickly.
Shang Chaozong, who was talking with Guan Fangyi and others, couldn't help but frown when he saw Feng Ruonan coming back. He came back so soon. Did the matter become clear
Feng Ruonan came quickly, apologized to Guan Fangyi and others, and then called Shang Chaozong and Shang Shuqing aside.
"What's wrong?" Shang Chaozong looked around and asked worriedly.
Feng Ruonan's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she grabbed Shang Shuqing's hand, "Qing'er, I have helped you find out the attitude of the Taoist master. The Taoist master clearly told me that he is willing to be with you, but he doesn't know about you. What's your attitude? Master Dao is waiting for you outside now, just waiting for a word from you. If you agree, the relationship between you and Master Dao will be confirmed."
"Ah!" Shang Shuqing was shocked. She didn't expect that her sister-in-law would do such a thing behind her back. She immediately panicked, "Sister-in-law, please stop teasing Qing'er. How could Master Dao speak out about such a thing."
Feng Ruonan glared: "Qing'er, my sister-in-law has the courage to ask for you. Whether you are willing or not is just a matter of one sentence. If you are not willing, I will help you refuse now." After that, he turned and left. look.
"Sister-in-law." Shang Shuqing suddenly became anxious and grabbed Feng Ruonan's arm.
Feng Ruonan turned to look at her. Shang Shuqing was embarrassed, hesitating and unable to express his thoughts.
Shang Chaozong's eyes widened and his eyes flashed sharply.
Feng Ruonan pulled Shang Shuqing's arm and dragged Shang Shuqing away. Shang Chaozong watched helplessly.
After dragging Shang Shuqing to the entrance of the villa, Feng Ruonan turned around and pushed Shang Shuqing on the back, pushing her out, "What do you mean, tell Master Tao yourself."
Shang Shuqing panicked, Feng Ruonan had already run away.
When his wife came back, Shang Chaozong immediately asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Feng Ruonan whispered: "Master Dao is worthy of being a master. He told me clearly and clearly that he would trade the whole world for the prince's sister! Now let's see what Qing'er's attitude is. Master Dao said that he will not force Qing'er .”
Shang Chaozong was in great spirits, but looking at his shy sister outside the door, he became nervous again, "What does this girl Qing'er mean?"
Feng Ruonan tugged at him and said with a smile: "Why are you nervous? Qing'er's thoughts are obvious. All it takes is Master Dao to pierce the window paper. As long as Master Dao agrees, the matter will be settled."
Shang Chaozong thought about it, and found that he was confused because of concern. He was really confused, rubbed his palms, and was excited!
At the edge of the mountain, Niu Youdao turned around and saw the embarrassed Shang Shuqing. He smiled and waved to her.
Seeing the call, Shang Shuqing, who bit her lip with silver teeth, had the courage to walk over slowly. When she came to Niu Youdao's side, she whispered: "Master Tao."
That face was so red that it looked like it was bleeding.
Niu Youdao admired it for a moment, then suddenly couldn't help but laugh and said: "I mean, has the princess told you?"
Shang Shuqing lowered her head and said "hmm" like a mosquito, not knowing where to put her hands.
Niu Youdao: "It seems like I'm pushing you around. I know it's unfair to you. It makes me look too strong. It makes me seem like I'm bullying others. But if you don't let go, I'm a man, so I have no choice but to Be more proactive. Now I just ask the princess, are you willing to entrust me with your life?"
Shang Shuqing bit her lip, obviously hesitant, but did not speak.
And this is what Niu Youdao is most confused about. If he were not blind, he would have been able to tell that this woman probably liked him. Why did he make it so obvious? She always seemed to be keeping a distance. This It made him feel a little unsure.
After waiting for a while, Niu Youdao tried to ask: "Princess Princess, if you don't want to, you can tell me directly. Are you unwilling?"
Shang Shuqing shook his head.
Niu Youdao: "That means you are willing?"
Shang Shuqing shook her head slightly again.
What does this mean? Niu Youdao couldn't help scratching his face and asked, "What worries does the princess have?"
After Shang Shuqing was silent for a while, she finally spoke up, "Master Dao, I know what my brother and sister-in-law are planning. I'm afraid they can't hide their thoughts from Master Dao, and Qing'er is afraid that he will be underestimated by Master Dao."
It turned out that he was worried about this. Niu Youdao sighed: "It's human nature and nothing to worry about. Let alone them, who in the world can have parents and brothers and sisters who have no selfish thoughts? They are them, and you are you. They are two different things. You really I think too much. I can tell the princess that I am also going to enter the fifth domain. There is not much time left for us. I want to take the princess away with me and I will never see them again in the future."
Shang Shuqing's heart trembled, she raised her head, looked at him, and understood that if she didn't agree, he would leave.
After hesitating for a moment, she plucked up the courage to ask: "Does Mr. Dao take pity on Qing'er because her appearance has changed?"
Niu Youdao paused and smiled bitterly, "There must be a reason for this."
A look of pain appeared on Shang Shuqing's face, "Master Tao, Qing'er is not young anymore, and her youth is gone. You are a practitioner and have a long lifespan, but Qing'er is just an ordinary person, and he will soon grow old and lose his beauty. If Qing'er's appearance is no longer the same... Qing'er is afraid of causing the Tao Master to dislike her, Qing'er is afraid." There were tears in her eyes.
Niu Youdao's expression paused, then he slowly stretched out his hand, picked up her chin, and raised her beautiful face, "Don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid, I will keep you young forever, and the things you worry about will never happen. will happen!"
