Chapter 146: Waiting at any time
"Three elders, you don't know Lord Xiao for a day or two. I believe he knows better than me in his personality! In your opinion, is he the kind of person who is afraid of danger and power?" Daoyuan did not answer directly, but asked the three of them.
"This..." Zuo Xinyuan said puzzledly: "It is because his approach today is different from the past that I don't understand! When the lord of the courtyard was there, he had a lot of social interactions with the lord Xiao. Based on my years of understanding, his behavior this time was indeed very unusual!"
Liu Buzhou sarcastically said: "People will change! People who hold power will be even more so over time! It is normal for people to protect themselves!"
Lei Luo said: "Elder Liu, it's because Lord Xiao choked you just now, making you angry!"
Liu Buzhou glared and said, "Nothing is true!"
Daoyuan stopped Lei Luo and continued, "I said this, not aimlessly. Please think about it, three, if City Lord Xiao had taken the initiative and forced the three heads to tell the truth, do you think he would admit it?"
Zuo Xinyuan said: "It goes without saying that, definitely not!"
"So City Lord Xiao didn't take anyone, otherwise, both sides would have torn their faces apart. Not to mention that as the city's main man, the Chen family would not surrender without evidence. Once the other party's family knew about it, they would definitely come to ask for punishment. This matter would be impossible to deal with. Without evidence, it would be impossible to stand in the right way. I think that City Lord Xiao didn't want to arrest people, but just didn't want to give the other party a false statement."
"And, as the parties involved, the Chen family will definitely not let it go easily. Although they may not take action openly, it is very likely that hiring some outlaws to attack secretly. Judging from the style of the three heads of the family, it can be seen."
Daoyuan frowned: "If the Martial Arts Academy declined or even disbanded, wouldn't it still disappoint the expectations of the lord? I think that City Lord Xiao did not interrogate him because of this. He is the lord of the lord, so how could he not understand the lord's wishes!"
Li Wenqi said maniacly: "What should I do? Will the lord die in vain?"
"The only witness Yu Heng is dead now. At least so far, we have no choice but to do anything to them!" Zuo Xinyuan sighed, his voice full of reluctance.
Daoyuan looked at them and said seriously: "Please rest assured, let me leave this matter to me. I promise you that the Lord of the Court will never die in vain! Sooner or later, I will pay the murderer's blood debt to comfort the Lord of the Court of the Heaven!"
Liu Buzhou snorted: "Speak lightly, once they leave here, we will lose our home advantage. It is not easy to talk about it when they return to the first city! And... you seem to be no match for others at all..."
Lei Luo squinted his eyes and said, "Elder Liu, now he is not an opponent, but it does not mean he will never be an opponent in the future! How long has the boss been practicing since he started to practice? Not to mention Yunxiao City, even if there are so many geniuses from ancient times to the present? Although the Chen family is powerful, it is not invincible."
The three of them were moved and were amazed. They had never expected that they would suddenly wake up after being reminded by Lei Luo. In just a few months, they had been practicing from ordinary people to the initial realm of refining the virtual world. Such a speed of despair, at least among the modern young geniuses they knew, although they could not be said to be unique, but they were definitely rare and very few!
Especially Liu Buzhou, his face changed and he was a little embarrassed. Daoyuan came to the Martial Arts Academy for the exam that day. He listened to Lu Qianshan's words and blocked Daoyuan outside the gate. Unexpectedly, the young man became the successor designated by the Academy Master, and his talent for cultivation was comparable to a monster. With this in mind, his attitude was even more unnatural.
Zuo Xinyuan looked at Daoyuan and said solemnly: "It's only now that I have to admit that the Master Hai is really good at seeing! Although you are young, you are really suitable for the position of the Master of the Courtyard than us!"
"Elder Zuo is too humble. I have said that I will not be the head of this college! You three have not only profound cultivation but also rich experience. No matter who is the head of the college, they are much better than me. And I still have my own things to do, and I cannot live in the same place for a long time. Therefore, this matter must be settled on the three of you." Daoyuan said seriously: "But don't worry, I will still do what I promised to go to the First Martial Arts Academy. But what the result is, I am not good at boasting about it, but I will do my best."
What he said was very plain, without any pretentious feeling. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the three of them began to admire them from the bottom of their hearts.
Zuo Xinyuan clasped his fists a little gratefully and said, "No matter what, Zuo still sends you a thank you for your affairs today!"
Daoyuan knew his intentions and smiled slightly and said, "Elder Zuo, don't be polite. We are our own people, aren't we?"
"Haha, with you, I will feel relieved!" Zuo Xinyuan laughed happily.
Liu Buzhou hesitated for a while, finally gritted his teeth, walked up to him, bent down and saluted: "Mr. Liu had offended him before, so please don't be surprised!"
Daoyuan quickly returned the greeting: "Elder Liu is so serious, I don't care about it at all, you don't need to do this."
Zuo Xinyuan pondered and said, "We must not ignore the words of the Master Hai. Since he appointed you as the next Master, we have no reason and will not object anymore. But since you have no intention of this now, the Martial Arts Academy will be temporarily managed by the three of us. We will be welcome at any time when you finish your own business in the future. What do you think, two of you?"
The last sentence, he naturally said it to Liu Buzhou and Li Wenqi.
"I have no objection." Li Wenqi nodded.
Liu Buzhou smiled bitterly and said, "He went to the first city for our Martial Arts Academy. From this point of view, even if he was a meritorious minister, let alone the last words of the Master of the Sea, so... I have nothing to say."
Daoyuan wanted to refuse again, but then he thought, since he had made up his mind, why bother to waste his temper? Speaking of which, it is still a free and unrestrained life for him.
...
...
Time passes, and in a blink of an eye, three days have passed.
Early that morning, as soon as Daoyuan got up, Zuo Xinyuan came to find him.
"So early, is there anything wrong with Elder Zuo?"
Zuo Xinyuan said: "I have arranged the affairs of the Martial Arts Academy these days. Since the master of the school was gone, many things have been squeezed out. The two elders Liu and Li, I, were busy until yesterday, and finally I was almost the same."
Daoyuan felt a little embarrassed: "I don't understand these things very much, so..."
Zuo Xinyuan waved his hand: "It's all trivial things, and you can't get involved, so it's more important to practice. Now it's very close to the first Martial Arts Academy exam. It's almost two months on the road. I think you can leave after this."
Daoyuan didn't react for a moment and asked, "What else is there?"
"Of course it's a matter of proposing marriage!" Zuo Xinyuan sighed: "The Lord of the Court is no longer here. As the Great Elder, I naturally have to take this matter over. Whether it is to the Lord of the Court or you, it is considered an explanation."
Daoyuan was silent for a moment and said, "I haven't seen Rou'er for a long time. I think I should say goodbye to her before leaving."
...
...
In the city lord's mansion.
Xiao Bufan stood under a huge tung tree, holding a letter in his hand, looking silently, in the thick shade of the trees, his face was a little heavy and reluctant. After a few days of decline, he slowly put away the letter and sighed slightly.
"Brother Xiao, why did you sigh here early in the morning?"
Xiao Bufan turned around and looked at the old man who was walking towards him, and asked back, "Is there anything wrong with the second head of the family so early?"
"Haha, it's still Ling Ye's marriage." The second head of the family smiled and said, "I have been waiting for more than a few days, so I naturally want to report the good news to my brother earlier. I wonder... what is Brother Xiao thinking?"
"What, brother is very anxious?"
"There is no need to worry about this kind of thing. I think he should be eager to see it."
Seeing him frowning slightly, the second head of the family smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xiao may as well say something. Is there anything difficult to say?"
Xiao Bufan said, "That's not the case, but I think it's not too late to ask Elder Zuo to come."
The second head of the family turned his eyes: "I don't understand, please let Brother Xiao explain it clearly."
At this moment, Feng Bolai News: "Master, the three elders and Daoyuan of Yunxiao Martial Arts Academy are here, and now they are in the hall."
"It's really time to come." Xiao Bufan raised his lips: "The second head of the family, let's go together."
