But then again, he didn't have to pay to get such a great benefit, so there was nothing bad about it. At most, he would just have to go out and scam people.
In the end, Huang Xiaotian agreed, but he couldn't help but sigh. It was so easy to get rich with power and influence!
He had already made up his mind to follow Xu Tangran from now on. This dog official was so shameless, so there must be other opportunities to get rich. Even if he couldn't get the meat, he could still get the soup!
Meanwhile, Miao Yi, who was also sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, was also concerned about the couple's future, "What plans do you two have for the future?"
"Nothing much, as long as Qing Mei doesn't have to hide anymore." Miao Yi pondered for a moment.
"If you two are willing, I can think of a way for you two to join the Heavenly Court and work under me. What do you think?" He indeed had the intention to recruit them. He had his eyes on the Duke's Theurgy, and the experience of almost falling into the Dao in the Forest of Forgetfulness was unforgettable.
The husband and wife looked at each other. Qing Mei shook her head and declined, "We appreciate Great Commander's kindness, but you know Qing Mei's background. Qing Mei has seen a lot of things in the Celestial Court. I really don't want to get involved again. Once bitten, twice shy. Qing Mei is afraid!"
"If that's the case, then I won't force you." Miao Yi nodded, then said, "How about this! I'll set up a shop on Sky Street for you, so you can have some income. It's better than hiding in the Forest of Forgetfulness. "
Unlike Xu Tangran, he didn't mention money, and was prepared to buy it for the couple himself. He had always been like this. As long as it was a friend, he would always do his best to help without any conditions. Besides, with his current financial resources, buying a shop wasn't too extravagant.
This was also the biggest difference between him and Xu Tangran. One wanted to benefit everyone, while the other only wanted to benefit himself. The difference between the two was destined to be different. It also determined the future achievements of the two!
The Duke was overjoyed, and was about to agree, but Qing Mei pressed his hand under the table. Qing Mei shook her head again and declined, "We can't repay the Commander's kindness, but we really have no interest in doing business. Great Commander, you don't have to worry about us anymore. "
Miao Yi glanced at the Reverend Father and saw that he was a little tempted. However, he didn't force the issue. He smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to reject me. You and your wife should think about it carefully. If you want, you can contact me anytime. "
The couple thanked him again.
Unless it was a special circumstance, it would not be convenient for anyone who wasn't a member of the Celestial Court to stay overnight in this place. Miao Yi had already asked Bao Lian to arrange a place for the guests to stay in the tavern outside.
After the couple went to an inn to rest, Father Reverend immediately asked, "I can understand why you don't want to join the Heavenly Court, but this shop is something that others can't even think of. Why would you refuse?"
Qing Mei pulled his hand and tried to persuade him, "Husband, can you guarantee that Commander Niu will always have a smooth journey in the celestial heavens? I've seen too many powerful people lose their power. They were still glorious yesterday. In the blink of an eye, his house was raided. This shop is a good thing, but it's also a source of jealousy. If anything happens, this shop will be our target. When we face the Heavenly Court, we won't even be able to run away from this Sky Street. Do you know how many shops in the Heavenly Court's Sky Street are sealed every year? There's nothing wrong with staying in the Forest of Forgetfulness. At most, my cultivation will be a little slower. Being safe is better than anything else! "
The Reverend Father fell silent and didn't say anything else …
Knowing that Miao Yi and the others were going to the Governor's Manor in Yizi Zone to congratulate them, the Reverend Father and Wife didn't stay for long. After staying for a few days, they left.
As for Huang Xiaotian, he left the same day he arrived. He went to look for his' partner 'who was pooling the money to buy the shop. This guy was very eager to get rich. No wonder he wanted to charge money for directions back then. He and Xu Tangran were in cahoots, birds of a feather …
In the Governor's Manor in Yizi Zone, the peach blossoms that had been planted earlier had all been uprooted. Now, the place was decorated with lanterns and colored banners.
Miao Yi and Xu Tangran weren't the only ones who came. Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle, who were the commanders of the Eastern and Southern Districts respectively, also came. After all, they had become colleagues of the same rank as Murong Xinghua. Naturally, they also received Murong Xinghua's invitation. Along with them were some of Murong Xinghua's subordinates.
A group of people came together with Madam Biyue. With Madam Biyue as the leader, Madam Biyue could be considered to be representing Marquis Tianyuan. At the same time, she was also Cao Wanxiang's subordinate. When Cao Wanxiang married Madam Peach Blossom, Marquis Tianyuan had personally come. As for the second marriage, there was no need for him to come. Otherwise, his subordinates would have to make countless trips to take in concubines.
As a result, Cao Wanxiang personally came out to welcome them. Murong Xinghua accompanied him. Seeing this woman with a faint smile, Miao Yi and Xu Tangran sighed in their hearts.
However, the situation of both parties greeting each other was a little strange. Cao Wanxiang and his wife greeted Madam Biyue, who represented the Marquis, while Miao Yi and the others greeted the couple. Cao Wanxiang was obviously Madam Biyue's superior, while Miao Yi was Murong Xinghua's superior. It felt a little messy.
A group of people presented their gifts. Miao Yi took out ten million Basic Immortal Pills. The five million that Murong Xinghua and Xu Tangran gave him last time were returned to Murong Xinghua's hands. Together with the gifts was a small token from Duke Ban Yue and his wife.
The guests from Tianyuan Planet were arranged to stay in the best guest garden. Naturally, it was because of Madam Biyue's status. The others also benefited from it.
When Cao Wanxiang's colleagues heard that Madam Biyue had arrived, they also came one after another to pay their respects. This caused Madam Biyue's side to be restless.
The big day was the next day. Everyone came a day earlier to prevent any delays along the way.
The next evening was supposed to be an auspicious time. However, the sky didn't go according to people's wishes. Dark clouds covered the sky and it started to drizzle. A few people from the Governor's Office immediately flew up to the sky and forcefully used their arts to disperse the clouds and rain.
"This second wedding is not as grand as the first one. It's much simpler."
On the plain outside the Governor's Office, Miao Yi, who had accompanied Madam Biyue to observe the ceremony, heard her voice transmission. Miao Yi looked around at the decorations. It didn't look bad, but he hadn't seen the scene of Cao Wanxiang's first wedding. Madam Biyue had obviously participated in it.
But to be honest, Cao Wanxiang's wedding wasn't as grand as Miao Yi's and Yun Zhiqiu's wedding all those years ago. The Realm Beyond Heaven was truly extravagant for him. Miao Yi could still vaguely remember the spectacular sight of magpies descending into meteors all those years ago. Back then, Yun Zhiqiu was truly beautiful, and Yun Zhiqiu was truly happy that day!
It could be said that he was basking in Lady Biyue's light. Among the group of big shots from the Governor's Office and the Marquis's Office, As Madam Biyue's follower, Miao Yi actually had the opportunity to stand at the front to observe the ceremony. However, Miao Yi would occasionally glance at the Thousand-faced Fox demon in Madam Biyue's arms. He kept thinking about Yun Zhiqiu's words and wondered if this fox demon had turned into him.
The drums and music sounded. After the wedding ceremony began, a set of complicated etiquette was unavoidable. Miao Yi could only sigh in his heart as he watched Murong Xinghua, who was dressed prettily, and Cao Wanxiang, who was short and stocky, bow to heaven and earth together. Murong Xinghua's words had already revealed that she didn't marry Cao Wanxiang because she liked him. But in this world, who else could she marry if not Cao Wanxiang? How many people would be willing to marry a woman who had been someone else's mistress without fear of losing face for their ancestors?
The etiquette here was different from Miao Yi's in the small world. After Cao Wanxiang and Murong Xinghua bowed to heaven and earth, they crossed cups of wine in front of the cheers of the crowd. They didn't immediately enter the bridal chamber. Instead, they simply removed their heavy ceremonial robes and came out to receive the guests.
Miao Yi didn't have the right to sit at Madam Biyue's table. After the ceremony, everyone returned to their seats according to their status. Miao Yi returned to the table where the group of people from Heaven's Origin Planet sat.
Cao Wanxiang and Murong Xinghua, on the other hand, took turns toasting to thank them. They drank a few more cups with their colleagues of the same rank. As for the other subordinates, they toasted to each other table. But when it came to Miao Yi's table. After the couple toasted to everyone, Cao Wanxiang and Murong Xinghua asked for a cup of wine alone. Cao Wanxiang pulled Miao Yi's arm and smiled, "Commander Niu, from now on, my wife will be under your command. I hope you will take care of her. Come! Xinghua, let's toast to Commander together! "
"Of course not!" Miao Yi quickly replied modestly, but he couldn't not drink this wine.
However, when he raised his cup, Miao Yi and Murong Xinghua inadvertently made eye contact. For some reason, Murong Xinghua's eyes seemed to be frighteningly bright. They were unprecedentedly bright, but Miao Yi didn't know what he saw in Murong Xinghua's eyes. He just felt his heartstrings tremble. He couldn't tell what kind of emotions Murong Xinghua's eyes were showing when he looked at him. It made people feel an inexplicable pain in their hearts.
After drinking a full cup, Cao Wanxiang smiled and patted Miao Yi's shoulder, "Not bad!"
He then led Murong Xinghua to the next table, and Miao Yi respectfully sent him off.
After sitting down, Miao Yi secretly shook his head. What did Cao Wanxiang mean when he said to take care of Murong Xinghua when she was under his command? It was obvious that he wouldn't transfer Murong Xinghua back to his Lord Lieutenant's side. At least not for the time being. It seemed that he had guessed correctly. This Cao Wanxiang wanted to follow the example of Marquis Tianyuan and his wife living separately.
It wasn't his concern whether they lived apart or not. It was just that it was a bit of a headache for him to have a Lieutenant's wife as his subordinate. He couldn't treat her like a normal subordinate. Cao Wanxiang's treatment of Madam Biyue was a good example. He couldn't even manage her properly …
In the small world, the Realm Beyond Heaven, the peerless face in the dressing table's mirror had her eyes slightly closed. Yun Zhiqiu stood beside Mu Fanjun and carefully combed her hair.
"Little girl! I heard that your man hasn't shown his face for a long time. He didn't neglect you, did he? "Mu Fanjun suddenly asked.
Yun Zhiqiu immediately smiled and said, "In reply to Venerable Sacred Lord, the current Overlord is your humble servant. He doesn't have much to do, and it's rare for him to have a chance to cultivate in peace. That's why he's focused on his cultivation and rarely shows his face."
Mu Fanjun said, "It's been a long time since I've seen him. Call him over for the handover of the annual tribute next year. After all, Ou Yangguang and An Ruyu are his father-in-law and mother-in-law. They've even given him their twin daughters. It wouldn't be right if he didn't come to visit. What do you say? "
"Yes! I'll bring him over next year, "Yun Zhiqiu agreed.
As he spoke, he had just finished coiling Mu Fanjun's hair. Just as Yun Zhiqiu was about to let go of her hair, Mu Fanjun suddenly raised her shoulder and grabbed onto Yun Zhiqiu's wrist, catching him off guard.
This wasn't what shocked Yun Zhiqiu the most. What shocked her the most was that Mu Fanjun was using her transcendence energy to forcefully probe her cultivation.
