Despite her words, she didn't stop moving. She channeled her transcendence energy into Yun Zhiqiu's storage bangle to investigate.
Fortunately, even though Yun Zhiqiu was a housekeeper, and almost all of the family's belongings were under her control, she was also very careful in her work. She wouldn't cut off Miao Yi's escape route, nor would she cause a scene where Miao Yi was in dire need of money. Every time she returned to the small world, she would hide her belongings in a place that only she and Miao Yi could find. She was even more careful every time she came to see Mu Fanjun. Otherwise, she would be in big trouble this time.
After finding nothing in Yun Zhiqiu's storage bangle, Mu Fanjun loosened her grip and released her.
Seeing that she didn't make things difficult for her, Yun Zhiqiu heaved a sigh of relief. However, she was still a little uncertain as to why Mu Fanjun would suddenly do such a thing. She replied, "The reason my cultivation improved so quickly was because Miao Yi obtained some Basic Immortal Pills from the Shaman back then."
Miao Yi had told Mu Fanjun this before, so he could only say this now.
Mu Fanjun only gave a faint 'hmm' and didn't reveal anything else. With a wave of her hand, Yun Zhiqiu excused herself. Another handmaiden stepped forward to draw on Mu Fanjun's brows and make her look more like a man.
After leaving the Nine Heavens Palace, Yun Zhiqiu was still a little apprehensive. She was still wondering why Mu Fanjun had suddenly acted this way. Had she discovered something? She left the Realm Beyond Heaven with a heavy heart.
Little did she know that the real problem lay with Qin Weiwei. Actually, Qin Weiwei wasn't the one to be blamed. Miao Yi was the one to blame. Previously, Miao Yi had been preparing to return this time. When he contacted Qin Weiwei, he informed her in advance. After receiving the confirmation, Qin Weiwei was so excited that she forgot to use the Soul Concealing Paste to conceal her cultivation after her bath. In her excitement on Jade Capital Peak, she brazenly revealed her Purple Lotus cultivation.
Under Yun Zhiqiu's intentional vigilance, Mu Fanjun might not know what the husband and wife were up to behind her back. However, that didn't mean that Mu Fanjun didn't have any eyes and ears on Jade Capital Peak. The moment Qin Weiwei's cultivation reached Mu Fanjun's ears, it immediately alerted her. 'How did Miao Yi and his group's cultivation increase so quickly?'
And Miao Yi hadn't shown his face for so many years!
Of course, it was nothing strange for cultivators to not show their faces for hundreds of years. It was normal for Miao Yi to not show his face for a thousand years. However, according to Mu Fanjun's spy in the Sea of Constellations, she discovered that Fu Qing, the Invincible Eagle, and the rest of the Supreme Yao Kings hadn't shown their faces at the same time as Miao Yi.
Even though Qin Weiwei was a little disappointed to find out that Miao Yi had delayed his return, she had indeed given herself away earlier. This was what prompted Mu Fanjun to forcefully investigate Yun Zhiqiu's cultivation. In the short span of a hundred years, Yun Zhiqiu's cultivation had increased by another level. This was not something that could be achieved with a few Basic Celestial Pills!
At this time, the maidservant had finished putting on Mu Fanjun's makeup, but Mu Fanjun was still sitting in front of the dressing table with her eyes closed. No one knew what he was thinking …
A group of people descended from the sky. The city guards didn't dare to obstruct them. Madam Biyue and her group who went to the Second Region to attend the wedding had returned. Who would dare to obstruct them?
After entering the city, Lady Biyue called out to Miao Yi, "Great Commander, come with me."
"Yes!" Miao Yi responded. He waved his hand at the others, signaling them to return first.
Everyone respectfully sent them off. Miao Yi followed Lady Biyue and flew to the City Guard Palace.
In the rear garden. Vice Chief Steward Lan Xiang came to welcome them. Lady Biyue casually handed the spiritual pet in her arms to Lan Xiang. Dragging her long skirt, she led Miao Yi to stroll in the garden. Occasionally, she would stop and lower her head to smell the clusters of fresh flowers.
Her round, supple, and alluring beauty was truly indescribable. It was no wonder that such a beautiful woman would live like a widow here. Miao Yi muttered to himself. His gaze occasionally swept across Lady Biyue's alluring figure, and from time to time, he would sneak a glance at the Thousand-faced Demon Fox in Vice Chief Steward Lan Xiang's hands.
Silently following her around the garden for a while, Miao Yi didn't know what she meant. In the end, he couldn't help but take the initiative to ask, "Madam summoned me. What instructions do you have for me? "
Lady Biyue slowly retracted her slender fingers that were gently stroking the petals. She tilted her head to look at him and smiled, "What do you think of the flowers in my garden?"
Miao Yi replied, "I am a crude man. I don't understand these elegant things. However, with Madam taking care of them, it is naturally excellent! "
"Crude man?" Lady Biyue chuckled. She stopped admiring the flowers and continued walking. She then asked Miao Yi, who was following her, "Does Commander dislike this City-Guarding Palace? Why haven't you moved into this City-Guarding Palace yet? "
Miao Yi replied, "It's not that I dislike it. It's just that I don't want to disturb Madam's peace. As long as I am in Heaven Street, it doesn't matter where I stay. "
Lady Biyue didn't continue this topic, "In a few months, the Heavenly Court's assessment will begin again. This time, the assessment will be of a higher level. I believe you have heard of it."
Miao Yi replied, "Yes! I heard that the name list has been decided a long time ago. "
He was probing. He heard that the name list for the assessment had been decided before he was promoted to Commander. She suddenly brought this up. It couldn't be that he would have a share in the Commander's assessment, right?
Lady Biyue replied, "I called you here to remind you again that the winds in the Heavenly Court have changed. The various Heaven Streets have been peaceful for a long time. I am worried that the Heavenly Court will reorganize itself into Heaven Street sooner or later. You must prepare in advance. Even though Murong Xinghua has become the Lieutenant's wife, you still have to respect her. You don't have to worry about anything. I will support you from behind. Do you understand what I mean? "
"I understand." Miao Yi agreed. 'Reorganize itself into Heaven Street sooner or later?' Lady Biyue's reminder was a wake-up call for him. He then tried to ask, "Madam, the Marquis must have a lot of talented people under him. Can you ask the Marquis to transfer a few useful people over?"
"Sigh!" Lady Biyue shook her head and sighed, "After the successive assessments, everyone has noticed that the winds in the Heavenly Court have changed. They are all preparing useful people. They don't want to let go of anyone who is useful. The Marquis also lacks useful people. Moreover, the Marquis can't be too biased in this kind of matter. Otherwise, if something happens, the people under him will have plenty of excuses to shirk responsibility. After all, Heaven Street is a quiet place. The Marquis can only try his best to prevent something like the assessment from happening to us. This is already considered a special favor. If he were to transfer useful people over from the prepared troops, it wouldn't be justifiable. Do you understand? "
With that said, Miao Yi understood. In a fit of rage, the Celestial Emperor even killed Ying Yao. He even used the assessment as an excuse to demote the descendants of the great clans to the ranks of Earth God and City God. Furthermore, they couldn't be promoted for the next three thousand years. After making an example out of them, he suddenly continued with the assessment. This time, who knew how many people would be caught off guard and suffer. Many people were a little flustered. Everyone began to make last-minute preparations.
Now, he could vaguely guess why he was intercepted at Heaven Street.
After chatting with Lady Biyue for nearly an hour, Miao Yi received a message from Yun Zhiqiu just as he was about to leave the Commander's Residence.
As soon as he took out the Star Bell, he received a message from Yun Zhiqiu: "Where are you?"
Recently, Yun Zhiqiu had been keeping a close eye on Miao Yi's affairs. She was especially wary of Lady Biyue at all times. Miao Yi couldn't understand why this woman was so worried about his relationships with men. He wanted to say that he was at the Commander's Residence, but on second thought, she suddenly asked this question. Could it be that she had already asked Fu Qing and the others?
If he was exposed as a liar … He was afraid that the more he explained, the worse things would get, and that woman would go crazy. He could only honestly admit: "I just came back from the City-Guarding Palace! When are you coming back? "
As expected, Yun Zhiqiu immediately asked: "Why did you go to the City-Guarding Palace again?"
Miao Yi: "We just came back from Murong Xinghua's place. Lady Biyue has something to tell us."
Yun Zhiqiu was obviously displeased: "Are all the useful men in the Celestial Court dead? What's the point of letting a woman stand guard on Heaven's Origin Planet? "
Miao Yi was speechless. What kind of logic was this? He couldn't be bothered to argue, so he asked: "What's the matter?"
Of course there was. Yun Zhiqiu had just left the Realm Beyond Heaven and was on her way back to the Fifth Earthly Branch. Getting back to business, Miao Yi immediately told her about Mu Fanjun's abnormal reaction.
This caused Miao Yi's heart to feel a little heavy. Mu Fanjun had obviously sensed something, but even if she had, it wouldn't have mattered much. The key was that Little Sister was in Mu Fanjun's hands, and this made him a little hesitant to take action...
For the next few days, Miao Yi was a little restless. From time to time, shopkeepers representing certain clans would visit him, and they were still here to deliver gifts. However, the purpose of their gifts was to target the positions of the East, South, and West Districts. They wanted Miao Yi to make things convenient for them and let a certain someone take that position. As for Murong Xinghua's position in the North City District, no one coveted it. Everyone knew that it was the position of Cao Wanxiang's wife, so Miao Yi couldn't make the decision.
Now, the Heavenly Court was already attacking those large clans. He had been dragged into this mess by Kou Wenlan when he went for the assessment back then. There was no way Miao Yi would gather the disciples of the various clans under his command and ask the Heavenly Court to assign him to this place again. After going through the previous assessment, he had long since understood that the so-called 'drawing' was nonsense. There was no such thing as' drawing 'at all. It was obvious that he would just pick whichever spot he didn't like.
However, Miao Yi's way of doing things was a little insincere, so he still accepted the gift. She didn't do it and pushed everything to Lady Biyue. And Lady Biyue directly pushed everything to Cao Wanxiang.
After coming into contact with a higher level of people, Miao Yi understood that Cao Wanxiang, this lieutenant, was arranged by the Marquis of Tian Yuan to be Lady Biyue's scapegoat. He could imagine how much of a headache Cao Wanxiang was having. Not only did he have to bear the responsibility that Lady Biyue pushed on him, he also didn't dare to push the matter to the Marquis of Tian Yuan. This time, he didn't know how many people he had offended.
Miao Yi only accepted the gifts and didn't do anything. Naturally, he had offended many people. Those who could ask him to do things were not to be trifled with. Soon, someone reported to the higher-ups, accusing Miao Yi of accepting bribes!
"What are you doing? Since you don't want to use the people they recommended, why did you still accept their gifts? It's not like you don't know the background of those shops. Aren't you just looking for trouble? "
In the City-Guarding Palace, under a shelf made of vines, Lady Biyue summoned Miao Yi to question him the moment she received the news.
Under the dim light, Miao Yi said in a low voice, "I definitely did not accept their gifts. These people are framing me!"
Lady Biyue asked, "Did you really confiscate their gifts?"
Miao Yi said, "If the congratulatory gifts for my promotion and the year-end gifts are counted, then I did accept them. But who has ever confiscated something like this before?"
"If that's the case …" Lady Biyue furrowed her brows. "Then this group of people is a little too much!"
Miao Yi said, "If Great Commander Kou was here, they wouldn't have dared to do this. It's just that I don't have any background. They think I'm easy to bully since I'm the Great Commander! Seeing that I'm blocking their way, they want to kick me away! "
"They are indeed a little too much!" A hint of anger flashed across Lady Biyue's face. Did someone think that her backing Miao Yi wasn't strong enough? After she calmed down, she reminded, "Someone directly reported this matter to the Star Sovereign. The higher-ups have ordered the Marquis to investigate! The Marquis is very concerned about this matter. He has sent a large team to patrol. You should be mentally prepared! "
The eyes of the Thousand-faced Demon Fox in her arms lit up. It stared at Miao Yi with a hint of schadenfreude.
"I'm not afraid of a crooked shadow!" Miao Yi replied in a low voice. He snorted coldly in his heart. He was about to use this opportunity to cause trouble!
