Starting from Tianlong, Wudu Tianxia

Chapter 90 An Unexpected Joy

Gao Yuan continued speaking without pause.

"What is Penglai's reaction now?"

After Qin Yufeng explained in detail, Gao Yuan gained a clear understanding of the incident.

It turns out that a few days ago, they failed in their attempt to ambush Guiyunzi, and when they left, they also destroyed some of Penglai's properties in Quanzhou.

When the news reached Penglai, Lingxuzi was furious.

He ordered Dulingzi to purge the followers of the Crimson Flame Cave in the Lingnan area.

But what's embarrassing for Penglai is that, apart from the Crimson Flame Cave, the other five caves and three islands are scattered all over the country.

After the failed sneak attack, Duanmu Yuan abandoned his base at Chiyan Cave and fled to Coconut Flower Island with his disciples to avoid trouble.

Unfortunately, Miss Li was very shrewd. During the sneak attack, she only stood on one side and watched from the side, so that Guiyunzi did not recognize her.

and so.

Ling Xuzi is currently in a state of having a lot of anger but nowhere to vent it.

"Didn't Turin and the others leave Quanzhou?"

Qin Yufeng shook his head: "Guiyunzi was ambushed by his subordinates and suffered serious internal injuries. He has returned to Penglai under the protection of his disciples. Dulingzi has not left Quanzhou for the time being."

"If Your Excellency wishes to cause them trouble, your subordinates are willing to die for you!"

Gao Yuan chuckled and said, "No need. You'll be recognized by Penglai immediately if you go there. If only Du Lingzi is there, there's no problem."

"You don't need to be too nervous. Just focus on gathering the offerings that the Lord needs."

He changed the subject, his tone softening slightly: "Once the Lord is angered, there is no room for leniency. Although your actions this time were reckless, they were also... well, you had good intentions. If you really can't gather the money, I will certainly not stand idly by if I can help you get out of trouble."

Everyone was taken aback when he said that.

Qin Yufeng's heart stirred slightly, and he looked up at Gao Yuan.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan continued, "Regarding Duanmu Yuan's matter, you all know in your hearts which is more important, crippling his martial arts or handing him over to the Lord for punishment."

His words were reasonable and persuasive, which put everyone's minds at ease. Their gazes toward Gao Yuan were now filled with more trust and gratitude.

The fear he had felt at Duanmu Yuan's tragic state had vanished.

They could see clearly that the Little Lord was far more approachable than the Lord, who was ruthless and heartless.

Qin Yufeng spoke first: "Your Excellency's kindness is deeply appreciated!"

The others echoed their sentiments, their voices full of sincerity.

Gao Yuan nodded, offering no further words of comfort, and went straight to the point: "When you return here, each of you should copy down a copy of your own martial arts manual, and take it with you when you go up Misty Peak."

Gao Yuan is preparing to implement his idea of ​​collecting all the martial arts classics in the world.

If I remember correctly, Duanmu Yuan's Earth Fire Technique, Five Pecks of Rice Mind Method, and Coconut Flower Island's Swallow-Gathering Body Technique were also quite good.

He might not read it, but whether it's a maid from Lingjiu Palace or a disciple of Xiaoyao, they can all look through it later.

For a sect to grow and thrive, it is essential to tailor its teaching to individual students.

There are many diagrams in the Linggong Grottoes, but they all contain high-level core martial arts techniques and are not available for ordinary disciples to view.

"Yes, sir!"

Gao Yuan glanced at them again.

"Not only you, but from now on, all cave masters and island masters under the Lingjiu Palace must submit a copy of their sect's martial arts training to the Lingjiu Palace."

"As the saying goes, it draws on the strengths of a hundred schools of thought."

"Lingjiu Palace intends to build a sacred place for martial arts, and there is a constant stream of martial arts classics entering the palace and being placed in the pavilion. If you serve loyally, you can all enter the pavilion to read them."

"If one makes outstanding contributions, it is not unreasonable to be granted a portion of Lingjiu's unique skills."

"As for the antidote to the Life and Death Talisman..."

'

Gao Yuan abruptly stopped speaking, but everyone was startled!

Instantly, the nine people kneeling below the hall, including Wang Weizhi standing to one side, all focused their gaze on Gao Yuan, who possessed all the martial arts of the world, which he could all observe!

Your Excellency has great ambitions.

As for the antidote to the Life and Death Talisman!

The door that had been tightly shut and left them in despair was suddenly opened without warning!

The little lord who descended from the sky became infinitely lofty in the hearts of the cave masters and island lords.

Even Duanmu Yuan, who was "fainting" on the ground, moved slightly.

Previously, everyone looked at Gao Yuan with boundless fear.

They're all glowing with righteous indignation right now, practically ready to tear their hearts out to show their loyalty!

it is good!it is good!it is good!

Hello, Little Lord!

After years of waiting, hope is finally within reach!

It doesn't matter if the Lord doesn't think much of us. The Little Lord is the future successor of Lingjiu Palace. They can wait!

My once withered and parched heart has now been revived.

"If there is anything you may do to help, Your Excellency, please feel free to command me. I am willing to brave mountains of knives and seas of fire for you!"

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Just do your job well for the Lord, you may leave now."

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise, Your Envoy is benevolent. We take our leave."

Everyone responded in unison, carrying Duanmu Yuan away with much lighter steps.

Especially the girl from Coconut Flower Island, her eyes were practically glued to the young man.

Gao Yuan took in everyone's expressions.

In fact, his skills in managing subordinates were not particularly high.

His grandmother had been coldly controlling them for over ten years, and he had only loosened the rope around their necks a little.

And that's precisely why it's a little looser.

It was like a drowning person getting a breath of fresh air.

He didn't necessarily want to undermine his grandmother to make himself look good.

However, while Grandma's management was extremely intimidating and efficient, it also had significant drawbacks.

Fear without gratitude is ultimately unsustainable.

One system relies on personal power, resulting in a fragile foundation for rule. The core of control rests entirely with the grandmother, and if anything happens to her, the entire ruling system will collapse instantly.

For example, the rebellion that broke out when Grandma reverted to her old age in the original story is the best example.

Secondly, Grandma only treated them as tools and never cared about integrating them, which resulted in Lingjiu Palace appearing huge but actually being very scattered.

What Gao Yuan was thinking was unknown to the others. Qin Yufeng and the others left the courtyard, greeted Wang Weizhi with a smile, and couldn't help but look back inside a few more times.

Has Lingjiu Palace changed its cold-blooded style?

Nothing has changed; it's still frightening, yet there's a subtle difference.

"It's different now."

"The Little Lord is completely different from the Lord. If he were the Lord, he would have crippled us all long ago."

The speaker was An Xinchan, the master of Xuanming Cave.

Qin Yufeng didn't speak. Only after they were a little further away from the Dongying Gang did he frown and say, "Master An, how dare we speak ill of the Venerable Lord and the Venerable Envoy? Don't mistake the Venerable Envoy's kindness for weakness, or I'll be the first to skin you alive!"

"Have you forgotten what Wang Wei said about the bandits of Qingshan? Your Excellency's benevolence and righteousness are meant to show compassion for us."

"Brother Duanmu, stop pretending to be dead!"

Upon hearing Qin Yufeng's words, Duanmu Yuan, who had been lying on the cart like a dead man, sat up as if he had risen from the dead.

"Brother Qin is right. To my shame, I was just pretending to be dead. How could the envoy not know? He was probably just saving face for me."

Duanmu Yuan touched his face and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I've been a wanderer in the martial world for thirty years, yet I'm utterly terrified in front of a young man."

"Having his martial arts skills crippled, he's actually quite pleased with himself."

An Xinkan smiled awkwardly: "Brother Qin, how could I dare to underestimate your esteemed envoy? I just have some concerns."

Miss Li snorted coldly.

"We never dreamed that Your Excellency would grant us such a request. I am not as cunning as you are. I only know that Your Excellency's willingness to plead for us is an immense favor."

"My only concern right now is that Your Excellency will not allow us to travel together, and that you will be in danger going to Quanzhou alone!"

The others also frowned upon hearing this.

Although the envoy's martial arts skills are far superior to theirs, he is still just one person.

Lingjiu Palace finally found someone willing to speak up for them. As long as the young lord doesn't fall, they'll always have a chance to escape, but what if something goes wrong...

Everyone shuddered!

"What should we do? We can't just disobey the envoy's orders and follow him without permission, can we?"

"Why don't you secretly follow them, Miss Li? With your skillful movements from Coconut Flower Island, the Envoy might not be able to detect you. Even if he does, you're just a young woman, and he won't punish you. He'll surely show you mercy!"

Someone came up with the idea of ​​using steamed buns.

"Bah! Your Excellency is not one to be greedy for beauty."

Miss Li immediately spat out a remark, but her face flushed slightly when she thought of the envoy's young and handsome appearance.
