After knowing each other for so many years, she knew that Yao Ruoxian didn't have many hobbies other than tinkering and studying transcendent artifacts. She also knew that it was beneficial to artifact refiners like her to broaden their horizons. As long as it could improve Yao Ruoxian's artifact refining skills, she was willing to put in a lot of effort.
Yao Ruoxian was a little embarrassed at her words. He bowed and cupped his fists. "I'm sorry for troubling you, Madam!"
"We're all family. There's no need to be so polite." Yun Zhiqiu chuckled, then added, "Mister, you should also keep your cultivation in mind. You are Qian 'Er and Xue' Er's adoptive father, and I have always treated them like my own sisters. So if Mister needs any Basic Immortal Pills, just say the word. I will definitely give you as many as you need. No matter who's lacking in cultivation resources, Mister, you can cultivate in peace. Don't treat me like an outsider. Otherwise, Yun Zhiqiu will feel uneasy."
Yao Ruoxian immediately replied politely, "This old man will remember Madam's words."
Miao Yi glanced at Yun Zhiqiu from the corner of his eye, feeling both annoyed and amused at the same time. He didn't know how many benefits he had given this old monster, but he was so obedient in front of Yun Zhiqiu. How could he explain this?
As they left, Miao Yi once again basked in Yun Zhiqiu's limelight. Yao Ruoxian sent Miao Yi off at the door, which left him speechless.
"I say, don't tell me this old monster has taken a liking to you?" Miao Yi muttered after they left.
As soon as he said this, Miao Yi immediately realized he had said the wrong thing. When he saw Yun Zhiqiu's cold gaze as she stopped in her tracks, he was so shocked that the hairs on his back stood on end.
However, what he expected didn't happen. Yun Zhiqiu suddenly smiled sweetly and beckoned him over with her finger. "Come! Let me tell you a secret. "
"What secret?" Miao Yi moved closer, cursing in his heart. 'Did I really hit the nail on the head?'
Unexpectedly, Yun Zhiqiu grabbed him by the ear. She knew her reaction speed was inferior to his, and their cultivations were about the same now. If she acted too directly, he would easily escape. It was only when she grabbed his ear and restrained him that she truly turned hostile. She immediately threw a punch at Miao Yi's face, followed by a series of kicks and punches. and cursed, "Bastard! How dare you slander my innocence … "
She had to get to the bottom of this. Otherwise, she would have so many men serving her. She spent every day with a group of men. If she really couldn't figure it out, then she wouldn't be able to wash herself clean even if she jumped into the river. Once a couple had this kind of knot in their hearts, there was no way they could continue living. Especially in this world, women couldn't compare to men in this aspect. She really couldn't take it anymore. If she didn't wake this bastard up, she wouldn't stop!
Qian 'Er and Xue' Er ran over, and he couldn't stop them even if he wanted to. Once again, they witnessed the madam going berserk and beating up the lord. Because their cultivation levels had reached a certain level now, the madam began to bite and stab. She was so shrewish that the two of them were shocked and dumbfounded!
Miao Yi covered his head and scurried away like a rat. He jumped into the tunnel with a bruised and swollen face. As he walked in the tunnel, he quickly invoked his arts to remove the bruises and reduce the swelling. Otherwise, the dignified Great Commander of the Eastern District wouldn't be able to go out and meet people.
At this moment, he immediately felt that Yun Zhiqiu was repulsive. So, he turned around and ran to the Ouyang sisters to enjoy the endless tenderness and gentleness he had as a man!
It was finally time to depart. Once again, Fu Qing and the Invincible Eagle were entrusted with the matters of the Eastern District.
"Old Fifth, take care!" Fu Qing and the Invincible Eagle reminded him again and again. They were also extremely worried. They couldn't let anything happen to Miao Yi right now.
Bao Lian silently followed the two of them as they sent Miao Yi off. He followed them all the way to the City Guard Palace before returning.
When he arrived at the City Guard Palace, he met up with Xu Tangran and the other three Great Commanders. Seeing that the three of them were still brimming with confidence because of the gift Kou Wenlan gave them, Miao Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The last time he went to capture the Black King, almost all of them had died. He didn't know how many of them would make it back alive this time.
Kou Wenlan showed up and asked if they were ready. After that, she gave them a few words of encouragement. She didn't reveal anything about what was going on behind the scenes, and then led the four of them out of the Celestial Street. They broke through the heavens and disappeared into the vast starry sky.
Second Sector, Commander's Manor!
This was Miao Yi's first time here. It was a small planet with a large population of mortals. The Commander's Manor was built on top of a snowy mountain. Strangely, there was also a large temple halfway up the mountain. When he landed at the peak of the mountain, he could see many mortals lining up to the temple to offer incense.
The peak of the snowy mountain wasn't as cold as it seemed at the foot of the mountain. Miao Yi didn't know what kind of array was used here, but the valley at the peak of the snowy mountain was actually filled with beautiful peach blossoms. It was said that Commander Cao Wanxiang's wife liked peach blossoms, so she planted peach trees all over the place.
After settling the four of them down in the courtyard, Kou Wenlan went to pay a visit to the Commander.
Someone had already arrived at the courtyard. It was a stocky man named Zheng Rulong. He was also a Great Commander. Although his position wasn't as plentiful as the one Miao Yi and the others occupied, he was still a true ruler of a planet. His cultivation had already reached the Seventh Grade of Golden Lotus.
After greeting each other for a while, Miao Yi muttered to himself, 'This is an unlucky Great Commander. He was picked to serve as a foil to Miao Yi and the others. He's the kind with bad luck. There are so many Great Commanders in the world, yet Zheng Rulong was picked. If this isn't bad luck, what else could it be?'
When Kou Wenlan returned, he had already finished his mission after sending them off. There was nothing else for him to do here, so he prepared to return. Before he left, he told the four of them, "I won't be able to follow you for the rest of the journey. Tomorrow, Commander Cao will personally escort you all to the gathering point. Don't worry, I have already made arrangements and paved the way for you all. When the time comes, someone will naturally take care of you."
"Have a safe journey, Great Commander!" Miao Yi and the others cupped their fists to send him off.
Kou Wenlan nodded and left.
Staying in the courtyard was boring. Miao Yi wanted to go out for a walk, but he was stopped by the guards outside. They didn't allow him to wander around, so he had no choice but to return.
However, not long after he returned, Yang Tai left the courtyard. The guards didn't stop him at all.
In the evening, Yang Tai still hadn't returned. A manservant came to deliver food to them. When he put down the food, he coughed with an ulterior motive.
Not long after, Murong Xinghua also left without saying a word.
Sitting and drinking, Miao Yi and Xu Tangran looked at each other and shook their heads with a bitter smile. Xu Tangran sighed, "Both you and I can't get out. Looks like the rumors are true!"
Miao Yi knew what he was talking about. It was rumored that Murong Xinghua was Commander Cao's mistress, and Yang Tai was Commander Cao's wife's adopted son. In the past, he thought that it was just a rumor, but looking at the situation today, he realized that it was indeed true.
"It's none of our business. Let's drink!" Miao Yi raised his cup.
Xu Tangran glared at him and said, "How is it none of our business? With the Great Commander's background, he definitely can't stay in a small Sky Avenue for too long. Not to mention, this isn't the Kou family's sphere of influence. Xiahou Longcheng is the one chasing after Xiahou Longcheng. That's why he came to Heaven's Origin Planet. Therefore, the Great Commander will have to be transferred out sooner or later. When the time comes, even if the Great Commander wants to take care of him, he might as well do it now! This man and woman are bound to ride roughshod over us because of their nepotism. "
Raising his cup to his lips, Miao Yi glanced at him and said, "Isn't it too early to worry about this?"
Xu Tangran said in a low voice, "What I mean is, if there's a chance in the future, you and I should talk to the Great Commander and ask him to bring us along when he's transferred out. One's words carry little weight, so don't forget, Brother Niu."
Miao Yi didn't know what to say to him. If this guy knew the background of those who participated in the assessment this time, he probably wouldn't even think about it.
After that, Yang Tai came back in the middle of the night. When he came back, he didn't look too good. He went to the other rooms and invited Miao Yi, Xu Tangran, and Zheng Rulong out together. He invited the three of them to sit down and personally poured tea for them.
Xu Tangran asked, "Why is Commander Yang so polite?"
Yang Tai sat down and sighed, "Everyone, I'm afraid the assessment this time won't be good."
Zheng Rulong calmly said, "How bad can it be? If worst comes to worst, we'll just fail the assessment."
Yang Tai said, "If that's all there is to it, then I won't say anything. It's a small matter if we don't pass the assessment. The bigger problem is that we'll all lose our lives on this trip. I went out to gather some information, and the situation isn't good!"
Xu Tangran was stunned. "What do you mean?"
What else could he say? Miao Yi was well aware of this. After Yang Tai explained the situation, Xu Tangran and Zheng Rulong's faces turned green. Only then did Zheng Rulong realize that he was the unlucky one.
Yang Tai sighed, "Everyone, that's why we must be united this time!"
"What's everyone's cultivation base?" Zheng Rulong immediately asked.
When Yang Tai and the other two revealed their cultivation bases, Zheng Rulong realized that his cultivation was the highest among them. He glanced at Miao Yi from the corner of his eyes and said disdainfully, "Unite my ass. What are you guys doing here with a Golden Lotus First Grade cultivation? I don't think you guys are united, but a burden."
Miao Yi coldly asked, "Who are you calling a burden?"
Zheng Rulong slammed the table. "The one who can't show his face is a burden!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Yang Tai and Xu Tangran immediately stopped one of them. Yang Tai pulled Zheng Rulong aside and said, "Brother Zheng, don't underestimate Brother Niu. Our Grand Commander has bestowed a transcendent artifact upon him. If we were to really fight, you might not be Brother Niu's match."
After a round of persuasion, the two of them looked at each other and ignored each other. However, not long after, Zheng Rulong pulled Yang Tai and Xu Tangran out for a chat. When he returned, Zheng Rulong smiled apologetically and raised his cup in apology.
Their attitudes had changed so much that Miao Yi didn't know what the three of them were talking about behind his back. However, thinking that the more people they had on this trip, the stronger they would be, so he didn't pursue the matter any further. The previous unhappiness had been resolved, at least on the surface.
Murong Xinghua came back when the sky was about to brighten. When she came back, her cheeks were still wet. A woman who hadn't returned for an entire night, anyone with a discerning eye would know what she had done just by looking at her expression. Seeing that the four of them had actually gathered together to wait for her, Murong Xinghua felt as though she had been caught unprepared. She felt rather awkward.
The four of them were naturally waiting for her to inform her of the situation, hoping that everyone would be united. Murong Xinghua gladly agreed.
