They were only conflicted for a moment. Aside from worry, they were also excited. It turned out that the cultivation art they were cultivating was one of the Six Great Arts of the Higher Realm, and the person they were cultivating with was one of the overlords of the Higher Realm. Just thinking about it made their blood boil!
After being at the top for so many years, they had developed a sense of pride in their hearts. Now that they knew there was a path that could lead them to greater heights, it was difficult for them to remain as frogs in a well. To cower in fear of the Heavenly Court, or to venture into the Higher Realm, it wasn't difficult to make a choice!
As such, Mu Fanjun and the others took the initiative to come to Yun Aotian.
Yun Aotian frowned as he sat in the main hall without saying anything. He didn't say anything when the four of them found their own seats and sat down, ignoring him.
From the moment they confirmed the Higher Realm, it could be said that the five of them had let go of all their previous grudges, because there was no point in continuing to fight. Now, even if one of them wanted to snatch someone else's territory, no one would care, and probably no one would do something so pointless. In the blink of an eye, the benefits of the Lower Realm had become as small as a sesame seed in the eyes of the five of them. It was truly not worth the effort and effort!
The five of them sat there in silence. After a while, Situ Xiao was the first to speak. "I believe everyone knows that once we go to the Higher Realm, we will become traitors."
Mu Fanjun looked around and said, "It shouldn't be as scary as we think. Everyone just needs to be careful. As long as we don't make a big fuss, we should be fine."
Cang Lei clasped his hands together. "I'm just afraid that Miao Yi will deliberately target us. Once he reveals our identities, we will be in big trouble."
Ji Huan stroked his beard. "Would he dare? His wife cultivates the Unparalleled Demonic Art herself. If he isn't afraid of us making a false accusation, he can try. If Yun Zhiqiu is fine, we should be fine too. "
Situ Xiao said, "Didn't your son find out? The inside of the Heavenly Court is a lot messier than here. I heard that it's not just your average level of darkness. In the prison, there are many cases of torture, false accusations, deceit, murder, and so on. As long as that bastard Miao Yi is powerful enough, once he captures us, it'll be useless even if we scream until our throats are hoarse. Even if you confess that Miao Yi is involved with the traitors, I'm guessing that once you get out of prison, you'll be able to say that you have nothing to do with him. "
Ji Huan sighed and said, "This is very normal. No matter how strong that Celestial Emperor's magic power is, he can't control the whole big world by himself. When the situation gets bigger, it's naturally easy for chaos to occur."
Everyone fell into silence again. This was exactly what they were worried about. That bastard Miao Yi wouldn't drag them all to the higher realms and kill them all in one fell swoop, would he?
After a while, Situ Xiao whispered, "Why don't we join forces and kill Miao Yi, then force Yun Zhiqiu to bring us to the outside world?"
Yun Aotian and Mu Fanjun did not say anything.
Cang Lei shook his head and said, "No! The little thief was fearless. What if it was really as he said? If he really did leave some arrangements in the great world, as an official of the Celestial Court, his disappearance will definitely cause the Celestial Court to investigate! "
The few of them were speechless. They were in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
After a while, Ji Huan exclaimed, "Speaking of which, did you guys realize that the higher realms are still unaware of the existence of the small worlds? Otherwise, the Celestial Court would definitely send people to guard a place with so many believers. In other words, the little thief didn't reveal anything about the small worlds."
Mu Fanjun's eyes flashed. She immediately understood something. If Miao Yi really wanted to cut off her ties with Yue Yao, he could just bring people from the higher realms over and kill her. Yue Yao wouldn't even know it was related to Miao Yi … She laughed coldly and said, "So that's how it is!"
The few of them immediately turned to look at her. Yun Aotian asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Mu Fanjun narrowed her eyes and said, "Just like everyone said, Yun Zhiqiu cultivates the Unparalleled Demonic Art. In other words, he's related to the little thief. And according to the information we've gathered, that bastard also ran into some danger in the higher realms. The little thief has never revealed anything about the small worlds to the higher realms. I think he's most likely using the small worlds as his last resort in times of danger! "
The few of them pondered for a moment, then nodded silently in agreement. Situ Xiao chuckled and said, "If that's the case, then it's even better for us. If he can use the small worlds as his last resort, why can't we do the same? If something happens, we can always retreat to the small worlds. "
Cang Lei said, "But from what I can tell, that bastard seems intent on controlling the passage to and from the small worlds all by himself. The only reason he's so willing to send us to the higher realms is probably because he wants to control the small worlds all by himself. And if he's not willing to reveal the passage to us, there's nothing we can do about it. Once we get to the higher realms, we won't be able to threaten him. Even if he doesn't threaten us, we'll be fine. In any case, it'll be very troublesome to deal with him once we get to the higher realms. The only convenient place to do so is Yun Zhiqiu. But I'm sure Miao Yi knows about this. He must have made arrangements beforehand. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let us know that Yun Zhiqiu knows about the passage. "
When he heard that Sister Qiu 'er was going to be dealt with, Yun Xiao, who was standing behind Yun Aotian, tilted his head slightly to look at him. However, he couldn't see anything unusual from his expression.
Ji Huan waved her hand and said, "There's no point in talking about this. If we really go to the higher realms, we can naturally make arrangements. I just don't believe Miao Yi can hide the truth from us. If we can't prosecute the thief in one place, surely he can do it elsewhere? If we run into trouble and have to return to the small worlds, I don't believe Miao Yi will dare to stop us from coming back. If something happens to us, he won't have it easy either. He'll always have a way to expose his collusion with the traitor to the public. The most troublesome thing right now is that Miao Yi is guarding against this and has already made arrangements in the higher realms. The moment we set foot in the higher realms, it'll be our end. That's the most serious problem. Everything else is trivial. If we can't even take the first step, we can forget about the rest. We won't have the chance to think about it anyway! "
This problem was a dead end, and it was what everyone was most worried about. It was so frustrating!
On the other hand, Mu Fanjun and Yun Aotian weren't too worried about this.
Yun Aotian knew very well that with Yun Zhiqiu around, there was no way Yun Zhiqiu could kill his grandfather.
As for Mu Fanjun, it was enough that she had Yue Yao as her trump card. However, she couldn't get rid of the unease she felt about the unknown world. Of course, she was also a little fearful of Miao Yi's influence in the higher realms. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't the least bit worried that Miao Yi would play some sort of trick.
After discussing for a while, they finally dispersed.
Back at her own residence, Mu Fanjun was pacing around the corridor under the eaves, deep in thought. All of a sudden, Hong Chen's voice came from nearby. "Master, Miao Yi and his wife are here."
Mu Fanjun snapped out of her daze and turned to look. She saw Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu appearing together, turning into the corridor.
Since they had already shed all pretense of cordiality, the couple didn't address him as' Holy Venerate 'anymore. They merely cupped their fists and cupped their fists. It was already polite enough that they didn't call him by his name. Earlier, Miao Yi had even called her' father 'in front of her.
The three of them didn't leave, nor did they sit down. Instead, they stood facing each other. With her hands behind her back, Mu Fanjun asked, "What's the matter?"
At this moment, no one would be able to tell that Miao Yi had just been beaten up. Yun Zhiqiu was acting like her husband, while Miao Yi smiled confidently and said, "I want to propose marriage!"
"Propose marriage?" Mu Fanjun was taken aback. "What marriage?"
Miao Yi tilted his head slightly and looked at the quiet Fairy Hong Chen standing not too far behind her. He nodded his head in acknowledgment.
Leaning against the railing under the eaves, Fairy Hong Chen was dressed in a red dress. Her features were picturesque, and she stood quietly under the half-slanted sunlight. Outside the railing, the red flowers and green leaves swayed gently in the wind. Fairy Hong Chen was completely unfazed by their conversation. She looked like someone from a painting, calm and lifelike.
If Qin Xi's beauty was described as cold, then Fairy Hong Chen's beauty was described as serene.
Qin Xi's coldness was a coldness that was indifferent to everything around her.
Fairy Hong Chen, on the other hand, was serene to the core. She was quiet and gentle, and one could tell at a glance that she was a woman who stood aloof from worldly affairs. Unless there was something she couldn't avoid, she would always stay away from trouble and quietly bloom in a quiet corner. Whether she was beautiful or ugly, she didn't care if there was anyone to admire her or not.
Mu Fanjun turned to look at her and furrowed her brows. This disciple of hers was the one she trusted the most. She didn't have any wild ambitions, but it was also the kind of personality she hated the most. It was because she was competitive and liked to compete with others, but this disciple of hers was a good-for-nothing.
Although she was quiet in the past, she wasn't like this. Mu Fanjun knew very well that ever since the calamity befell her family, Hong Chen had become like this. She would only move once in a while. This was a personality she didn't like at all!
However, Mu Fanjun was quickly taken aback. She turned to Miao Yi and asked, "Her?"
Miao Yi turned to look at Hong Chen standing not too far behind her and said, "Isn't she beautiful? I've had my eyes on her since a long time ago. I hope you can help me! "
It wasn't hard for Mu Fanjun to understand why Miao Yi was acting this way. After all, her disciple's beauty was obvious to everyone in the world. It was normal for a man to be moved by her. However, she was still a little surprised and said, "I'm afraid this isn't appropriate, is it? Her Senior Sister's two daughters are your concubines. If you take her as a concubine as well, what's going on? "
Miao Yi retorted, "When you asked me to marry An Ruyu's daughters, did you ever consider that Yue Yao is my little sister?"
"…" Mu Fanjun was momentarily speechless. She slowly turned to look at Yun Zhiqiu, who was looking down at her and asked, "Little girl, he's going to take another concubine. Are you okay with that?"
Yun Zhiqiu smiled and said, "He's already asked for my opinion, so I'm not against it. After all, it doesn't matter if we have one more or one less in our family!"
Mu Fanjun scoffed and said, "You sure are generous. You shouldn't force yourself on something like this. Men aren't afraid of having too many women around them. If you already have a few wives and concubines, you'd be more than happy to have a harem. You better think this through!"
Yun Zhiqiu replied, "If I didn't think this through, I wouldn't have come with you. Now, it's up to you whether you agree or not."
Mu Fanjun's gaze shifted from Yun Zhiqiu to Miao Yi, who was staring at Hong Chen endlessly. She felt disgusted, but she didn't show it on her face. After pondering for a moment, she slowly said, "This matter isn't urgent. Let me think about it first before I give my answer."
Yun Zhiqiu then turned to Miao Yi and said with a hint of mockery, "Niu Er, you aren't in a hurry, are you?"
