"There's no need to wait for me to come back. Let's talk now." Miao Yi took out the Star Bell and contacted Kou Wenlan directly.
He was also feeling uncomfortable. He didn't abandon Murong Xinghua even at the most dangerous time of the exam. Before this, the two of them turned around and left, leaving Murong Xinghua standing there quietly. His feelings were indescribable, yet he had to abandon Murong in order to protect himself.
This made the two of them feel as if they were asking a woman to sell her body in exchange for glory and wealth in order to protect themselves. This was too unmanly. Not only did the two of them lose their good mood after being rewarded by the Sky Emperor, they even felt a little frustrated.
"Alright!" Xu Tangran also took out the Star Bell.
The two of them jointly requested Kou Wenlan, but they weren't confident. After all, Murong Xinghua had betrayed Kou Wenlan before. They didn't know if Kou Wenlan could accept it.
Fortunately, Kou Wenlan seemed to be in a good mood and gave the two of them face. She did not say much and directly agreed, allowing the two of them to heave a sigh of relief. To be able to help Murong Xinghua get rid of Cao Wanxiang, it could be considered as doing something within their power. They felt a little better in their hearts. Who asked Murong to be together with Cao Wanxiang long ago?
Just as they were relieved, a few people came in without any notice. The woman in the lead was elegant, with soft skin and a beautiful appearance. She had a slight demonic aura around her, and two servants followed behind her.
The woman glanced at the two people sitting in the pavilion. Her gaze was cold and she asked indifferently, "You two are Niu Youde and Xu Tangran?"
Miao Yi and Xu Tangran looked at each other. They didn't know each other. They both stood up with puzzled expressions.
It was the servant beside the woman who reminded them, "Madam Peach Blossom has arrived. Why aren't you bowing?"
Madam Peach Blossom? Miao Yi and Xu Tangran immediately understood. This was the official wife of Governor Cao Wanxiang. It was said that the peach blossoms all over the Governor's Manor were related to her. Now that they met, they found out that she was a Yao cultivator. The two of them didn't expect Cao Wanxiang's official wife to be a Yao.
Xu Tangran muttered to himself, 'Damn it, the Celestial Emperor personally pardoned me. I don't even need to bow when I see cultivators below the Infinite Realm.' 'Who do you think you are?'
But there was nothing that could be done. As the saying goes, a county official is not as good as a ruler on the spot. The Celestial Emperor was too high up, separated by the nine heavens. The two of them could only cup their hands together. "Greetings, Madam!"
After the two of them bowed, Madam Peach Blossom, who was walking over slowly, said, "There's no need to be so polite. The Heavenly Emperor has already spoken. I cannot accept it."
This was clearly taking advantage of the two of them. If he hadn't said it earlier, he would have waited for the other party to greet him before speaking up.
When she entered the pavilion and sat down, the two of them had no choice but to stand on either side of her. Miao Yi cupped his fists and asked, "May I know what orders Madam has for me?"
Madam Peach Blossom said indifferently: "I don't dare to order you, I just want to ask you, how did my godson Yang Tai die? I want to hear the truth! "
What bullsh * t adopted son! The two people at the bottom were amused. She probably didn't know that the scandal between her and Yang Tai had been exposed by Xiahou Longcheng.
It seemed that she really valued Yang Tai. Who knew how Yang Tai had managed to win her favor! Miao Yi and Xu Tangran looked at each other. Both of them didn't know how Yang Tai died, so they could only relay Murong Xinghua's words.
Madam Peach Blossom sneered: "Murong and Yang Tai's cultivation is about the same. Yang Tai wasn't inferior to her in any way, right? Why was she able to escape, but not Yang Tai? "
How could Yang Tai be mentioned in the same breath as Murong Xinghua! Xu Tangran sneered in his heart. Murong Xinghua was now on a different level in his eyes. It could be said that Murong Xinghua's efforts were rewarded.
Xu Tangran sighed: "We are deeply saddened by Brother Yang's death. However, we weren't there when Brother Yang died, so our knowledge is limited."
Madam Peach Blossom looked around and asked: "Where's Murong? Tell her to come out and see me."
Speaking of this, both of them were silent. Xu Tangran took a deep breath and said: "Lord Lieutenant has something to discuss with her. She's not here for now!"
"Hmph! Bitch! " Madam Peach Blossom, who didn't get anything out of her, finally left hatefully. She clearly knew about Murong and Cao Wanxiang's matter.
Murong Xinghua didn't return for the whole night either. She only returned the next morning.
Miao Yi and Xu Tangran were worried that Madam Peach Blossom would go and settle the score with her. It could be said that she had been sitting in the pavilion for the whole night. At this moment, she saw that Murong's face was still filled with joy, as if nothing had happened. She heaved a sigh of relief and thought of something. They looked at her with complicated feelings.
Murong Xinghua was calm now. With a smile on her face, she walked in and sat down. She asked: "Why are you two sitting here so early in the morning?"
"We waited for you the whole night." Miao Yi replied with a smile.
"You know what happened between me and Cao Wanxiang. He can't do anything else even if he keeps me here. He just wants me to undress. Why did you wait for me the whole night? Is something the matter?" Murong Xinghua asked curiously.
Xu Tangran sighed: "Yesterday, the Lieutenant's wife came to find us. She asked about how Yang Tai died and wanted to find you, the insider. We were worried that she would harm you."
Murong Xinghua shook her head: "I've been with Cao Wanxiang the whole time. I didn't see her looking for trouble."
"That's good." Xu Tangran placed his arms on the table and sighed: "Murong, don't worry. Brother Niu and I have already contacted the Grand Commander and obtained his approval. This time, the Grand Commander will bring you along. You will be able to get rid of Cao Wanxiang's entanglement in the future. Our abilities are limited. This is all we can do to help you."
Murong Xinghua was silent for a while. After a long time, she said softly: "I understand your intentions. However, I will not leave, nor will I leave Cao Wanxiang."
Xu Tangran's mouth was slightly agape. He thought he had heard wrongly.
Miao Yi's eyes suddenly narrowed. A faint killing intent emerged from his body. He said in a low voice: "Could it be that Cao Wanxiang is threatening you? There are many beauties in this world. With his identity and status, he can have all kinds of women. Why would he insist on pestering you? Isn't he going too far by doing this? "
Murong Xinghua smiled lightly and waved her hand: "Brother Niu, it's not what you think. He isn't threatening me. I am the one who doesn't want to leave."
"Why?" Xu Tangran was surprised.
Miao Yi was also surprised.
Murong Xinghua said: "I am already a withered willow. There are some things that I cannot bear to look back on. In my early years, my status was low. It was only because of my outstanding beauty that Cao Wanxiang took a fancy to me. With Cao Wanxiang's identity and status, I had no way of resisting him. I could only obey him. However, the reason why I am where I am today is because of Cao Wanxiang's guidance. Among the people who joined the Heaven Court at the same time as me, some were even Heavenly Soldiers. There are many things where there are gains and losses. One must walk his own path. It is too late to talk about right or wrong. Even if I leave Cao Wanxiang now, what can I do? There are too many people who know that I was Cao Wanxiang's mistress. This matter cannot be erased. No matter how far I go, someone will mention it sooner or later. I can't avoid it. "
Miao Yi said: "Then at least you can find someone you like. To put it bluntly, Cao Wanxiang is not even as good-looking as Xu Tangran!" He pointed at Xu Tangran and made an example. "With your current identity and status, you don't need a man to support you. Instead of wronging yourself, why don't you go and wronging someone else? You will eventually find a man who won't care about your past."
Xu Tangran rolled his eyes and pushed his hand away. "Where are you pointing? Do I look that bad? Is there a need to compare me to the short and stout Cao Wanxiang? "
"I'm just making an example." Miao Yi said perfunctorily.
Murong Xinghua couldn't help but laugh and said: "I understand what you mean. It's just that … others don't care, but I do. I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life, forever being poked at by others behind my back. During the hundred-year examination, I've thought about it a lot. I've already decided on my path. Since there are some things that I can't hide from, I might as well face them bravely. I might as well walk down this path openly and cleanse myself of the stain. If I can't even cleanse myself, how can I stop others from talking about me? There's no use in hiding. You can't overcome this barrier in your heart! "
Xu Tangran muttered: "If you continue to stay here, then you really won't be able to stop others from talking. You will never be able to cleanse yourself."
Murong Xinghua was a little hesitant to speak, as if she didn't know if there were some things she should say to the two of them. However, seeing how concerned they were for her, she finally stood up and turned to face the peach blossoms in the garden. Facing the morning breeze, she said softly: "Why don't you think about it from another angle? Why do I have to be his mistress forever? Can't I be his legal wife?"
"..." In an instant, Xu Tangran and Miao Yi were both speechless. They looked at each other and finally understood what Murong Xinghua meant. She wanted to replace Madam Peach Blossom!
The two of them hadn't thought about it before. After all, they were men, not women. Sometimes, they couldn't think from a woman's point of view. Now that they thought about it, what better way to cleanse herself of the stain than to become Cao Wanxiang's legal wife? Once she became Cao Wanxiang's legal wife, she would be Madam Cao in the future.
Xu Tangran laughed bitterly, "Actually, I still hope that you can find a man you like."
With her back facing him, Murong Xinghua said, "Now that things have come to this, it doesn't matter if I like him or not. The path is chosen by myself. This is the price I have to pay. From now on, Cao Wanxiang will be my man. I'll just treat him as my man for the rest of my life. My heart will naturally be at ease."
"You are such a beauty. Why …" Miao Yi hesitated. He didn't finish his words as he stared at her graceful back. He frowned and thought of himself and Huangfu Jun. Regarding Y, he realized that he wasn't any better. He really didn't have the right to criticize her.
On that day, the three of them left the Governor's Office and rushed back to Heaven's Origin Planet …
Qiong Star was proud of the Great Void, while the Four Heavenly Kings faced Ziwei!
Qiong Star was the personal fief of one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Heavenly King Kou. The mountains were as tall as they could be, and the waters were as deep as they could be. The setting sun shone brilliantly, the clouds drifted like a dream, and the sky was blue. It was one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Inside the Heavenly King's residence, a plainly dressed woman wearing a gauze hat followed an old man into a simple but elegant study. The old man turned around and said, "Wait here for now. Third Master will be here soon."
