Guan Fangyi had no choice but to go and greet the guests.
After waiting at the entrance of the thatched cottage for a while, I finally saw the three people accompanied by Yan Li arriving.
"Elder Yan." Guan Fangyi greeted him politely, pretending not to know that a visitor was coming.
Yan Li also pretended that he had not informed anyone here, "Matchmaker, tell Elder Niu that a distinguished guest from the Sky Fire Sect has come to see him."
As for Qijing Matchmaker, as a disciple of Tianhuo Sect, I have seen her in Qijing area openly and secretly.
Especially Elder Qian Fucheng. He had seen Guan Fangyi when he was young. When he saw Guan Fangyi at this time, he felt a little sad.
I still remember back then, when I first saw this girl, I was really shocked and shocked, and my heart was pounding. However, the rules were difficult, so I had to calm down.
Today, this woman has some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her body looks a bit plump. Her face is thickly powdered, and she has lost the edges and corners of the past, and her figure has lost its original graceful willow posture. Time is not forgiving, even if she is a practitioner.
What's even more emotional is that no one at the time would have thought that this woman would end up with a young man.
Qijing Matchmaker, for many people, is a memory of a generation, a memory of unparalleled splendor!
It's useless to think too much. Qian Fucheng can only smile calmly in response to goodbye, and his heart is no longer moved. The past has passed.
Guan Fangyi was surprised and said: "Elder Yan, it's really unlucky for you to come here. The Taoist master is not here and has gone out."
"..." Several people who came were stunned at the same time.
Yan Li asked: "Not there? Where have you gone?"
Guan Fangyi shook her fan, bared her teeth and said with a smile: "You really asked me this, so I'm going to leave. Master Tao will not tell me where he is going."
When she said this, Yan Li understood that Niu Youdao should be inside, but because he had tipped off the news, he didn't want to see anyone from the Tianhuo Sect.
Pretending not to know, he asked: "When will you come back?"
Guan Fangyi shook her head: "Master Tao really didn't tell me, I don't know when he will come back."
"Unfortunately, Brother Qian, do you think?" Yan Li turned around and asked with a smile.
Qian Fucheng turned his head slightly to look at Kunlinshu's reaction. Seeing his unmoved look, Qian Fucheng immediately smiled back: "It's okay, let's just wait."
Yan Li smiled bitterly, we can't let the guests wait outside the door, right? That's what he said to Guan Fangyi, "Matchmaker, you can't let the guests wait outside the door, right?"
"Please!" Guan Fangyi turned around and extended her hand, inviting a few people to sit down in the pavilion in the courtyard and serve tea.
They were waiting in the front yard, accompanied by Yan Li.
Niu Youdao, who was deep in the inner house, ignored the notification and waited as long as he wanted. He was lying on a recliner under the eaves, holding a copy of "Zijin Miscellaneous Notes" and reading it. This thing was similar to "Shangqing Shiyilu". He just flipped through it to see what was recorded about the Zijin Cave or about things inside and outside the sect from the perspective of the Zijin Cave.
After waiting for a long time, Yan Li became a little impatient. He didn't have that much time to waste around here.
When he saw Wen Moer passing by not far away, he said hello, pretending to have something to do, walked over, and asked in a low voice as he approached, "Is Elder Niu really not here?"
Wen Mo'er looked embarrassed. Yan Li understood and asked in a low voice, "Are you in there?"
Wen Mo'er nodded slightly.
Yan Li turned back to the pavilion and said to Qian Fucheng: "Brother Qian, why don't we come here before Elder Niu comes back, so as not to wait here in vain."
Qian Fucheng looked at Kunlinshu's reaction again, and then smiled back: "It's okay, it's okay, just wait."
Yan Li: "Brother Qian, I still have something to do over there..."
Qian Fucheng said hurriedly: "Brother Yan, if you have something to do, just go on your own. We can just wait here."
After some polite politeness, Yan Li took his leave and took the first step.
After leaving the Thatched Cottage, he did not leave. Instead, he walked around in a circle to the back door of the Thatched Cottage. He knocked on the door and got in. He went straight to the inner house and saw Niu Youdao leisurely reading a book under the eaves. She pulled the book out of his hand and said, "What do you mean?"
Niu Youdao stood up and said, "Elder Yan is here, just in time. Let's get some food and wine. Let's have a good drink."
Yan Li: "People outside, please tell me the truth. What does it mean to keep people waiting like this?"
Niu Youdao: "It's inexplicable, why are you seeing me?"
Yan Li: "I said I wanted to ask about Xiaoyue Pavilion. You have more contact with Xiaoyue Pavilion."
Niu Youdao: "I'm surprised. Why should I talk to them about Xiaoyue Pavilion? What do I mean by sect?"
Yan Li pressed his hands, indicating not to worry, and sighed: "Brother, you also know that war horses from all countries have asked Qi for help. When he comes, the leader will show up in person to see him. Besides, people, It's just a small request. If you don't want to talk, you can just deal with it. There is no need to break your face over a trivial matter. If you don't give me face here, they will also make things difficult for Yan Guo's war horses later... It's not a big deal, it's not necessary. ,dont you agree?"
Niu Youdao smiled playfully and reached out to grab Yan Li's wrist, "Elder Yan, I will ask someone to get some good wine and food. Let's have a good drink."
"Hey, we can eat and drink anytime. Let's settle the business first."
"Ignore them, let them wait first, let's go."
"Oh, the boss asked me to accompany the guest..."
It was useless to say anything, Niu Youdao forcibly dragged Yan Li away.
But I have to admit that I am a bit strict. The food and wine here at Niu Youdao are excellent, but I am full of alcohol after eating and drinking. It is not easy to go to see Qian Fucheng and others. You said you have something to do, but the result is that you left The guest went to drink, what's going on
He could only cast a spell to dispel the smell of alcohol and let the smell of alcohol dissipate from his body, and then circled back to the front yard.
Niu Youdao, who was deep inside the house, did whatever he needed to do without any delay, but Qian Fucheng and others waited until dark.
In fact, Qian Fucheng and others also guessed that Niu Youdao probably didn't want to see them, but Kunlinshu was resolute.
When it got dark during the day, Yan Li arranged for them to rest and not leave, so they just waited here. They waited all night until dawn.
Early in the morning, Yan Li went through the back door again and found Niu Youdao to persuade him, "Junior brother, brother, Elder Niu, you have seen their attitude. They are not leaving until they see you. It is not appropriate to treat guests like this." , so what if you come out to kill me?"
Under the morning sun, Niu Youdao dipped his hand into the bucket and wiped the water droplets on a pot of black peonies. "Do you still think they are here for Xiaoyue Pavilion?"
Yan Li frowned: "It's a bit strange. I won't wait here for you all night to talk about things. I'm not impatient. Qian Fucheng's attitude is a bit low-key."
"You have something to do with me, and you came here to beg me." Niu Youdao gave his judgment, shook off the water on his hand, and hooked his fingers at Guan Fangyi, "Matchmaker, let Elder Yan take a look at the news that just came. .”
Guan Fangyi walked over with a smile and handed a piece of information to Yan Li.
Yan Li opened it and looked at it, and saw the general situation of Qian Fucheng in Tianhuo Sect, and of course Kunlinshu and Huo Fenghuang. Kunlinshu had been in seclusion for ten years, and he had just met Huo Fenghuang a few days ago. Get married.
This kind of thing is not a secret that the disciples of Tianhuo Sect need to keep. It is not difficult for people to inquire about the relevant situation.
Yan Li looked up and said, "What do you mean?"
Niu Youdao: "Qian Fucheng and the two people in the Tianhuo Sect are not from the same school at all. Kun Linshu and Nie Yunshang's master is a man named Pang Zhuo. Qian Fucheng came out to do things and brought two people who were not from the same school. It is somewhat unreasonable not to say no to my disciples. Also, Kunlinshu went into seclusion not long after I severely injured him. As soon as he came out of seclusion, he came to me. He is still waiting here and wants to do it. What? What happened at Xiaoyue Pavilion? It’s obviously because of this Kunlin tree that they came to me.”
Yan Li was thoughtful, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Are you dragging me away because you are waiting for relevant news to come over?"
Niu Youdao: "What can I do? It's inexplicable and there was no warning in advance. I don't even have a clue about this matter. In addition, you elders always want to trick me. I have to be careful. I must do it first." It’s easy to deal with what’s going on.”
Yan Li looked at the sky speechlessly and muttered: "You are too suspicious."
Niu Youdao waved his hand, "Let's go, I want to see what kind of debt that guy wants to settle with me."
Finally willing to show up, Yan Li breathed a sigh of relief. However, after walking a few steps, he realized something was wrong and quickly grabbed Niu You and said, "What are you doing?"
Niu Youdao was surprised, "Go and meet them. Don't you want me to go and meet them?"
Yan Li pointed to where he was going, "Brother, you just walked out of the inner house like this? If you let them see it, wouldn't it be clear that you are showing off to them."
Niu Youdao: "Let's make it clear, so what can I do? Do I still need to be polite to those who come to make trouble?"
Yan Li held on and said, "Brother Niu, Uncle Niu, you are shameless, and I still want shame. Let them know that I am fooling them. I am not embarrassed. Can you leave a fig leaf for me? Don't let me do this." It's so embarrassing for the person who entertains the guests. If I go to the Sky Fire Sect to do business in the future, they will have to retaliate to keep me from getting off the stage. Go out through the back door, let's go around, okay?"
"No! It's too troublesome. I don't want to be a thief in my own family."
"Stop talking nonsense and go through the back door." Yan Li forcibly dragged him to the back door, causing Niu Youdao to stagger.
After walking around the outside of the courtyard, the two of them entered the courtyard through the main entrance.
Seeing the people in the pavilion, Yan Li cupped his hands and laughed from afar: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Elder Niu just came back from going out, so I hurriedly pulled you over."
The three people in the pavilion stood up. Kunlinshu stared closely at Niu Youdao who was strolling over, while Huo Fenghuang looked at Niu Youdao and then at his senior brother's reaction, fearing that he would go too far.
"Elder Lao Yan." Qian Fucheng bowed his hands as he walked out of the pavilion and thanked Niu Youdao. "Elder Niu, after we say goodbye to Tiandu Peak, we meet again."
Niu Youdao also looked at Kunlin Tree and Fire Phoenix when he came in. Then he didn't take a look at it, only looking at Qian Fucheng. He also handed over his hands and said: "I went out to do something, and I came back late. Let Elder Qian Awaited."
