He had already made it clear that he wasn't in a hurry. Yun Zhiqiu smiled at Mu Fanjun, indicating that she was waiting for her reply.
Mu Fanjun's reply was very simple. "Lass, with your background, you don't need to be so accommodating. It's really not bad for a woman to be aggrieved like this!" She, too, was a woman. She refused to believe that Yun Zhiqiu would be willing to see her husband marry another woman.
Yun Zhiqiu's expression was calm, and she didn't say anything. However, her words made Miao Yi feel uncomfortable. Putting himself in Yun Zhiqiu's shoes, Miao Yi wouldn't be able to take it even if Yun Zhiqiu found another man, let alone someone like him who kept marrying into his family.
But there was one thing he was clear about. Yun Zhiqiu wasn't wrong to scold him, nor was he wrong to slap him. It would be a lie to say that Fairy Hong Chen's beauty did not move his heart in the slightest. A man who could remain unmoved in the face of beauty was definitely sick in the head. He was naturally a normal man.
Seeing this, Mu Fanjun didn't linger on this topic any longer. She said, "For the sake of your future, the Yun girl didn't hesitate to agree to come to the Realm Beyond Heaven as a hostage. It's your good fortune to be able to marry a wife like her. Treat the Yun girl well from now on. Don't let her down!"
"Hostage?" Miao Yi asked in confusion. He turned to look at Yun Zhiqiu with a puzzled expression.
Yun Zhiqiu was taken aback. He asked in confusion, "Why would Celestial Sage say that? When did I agree to go to your Realm Beyond Heaven as a hostage? "
Mu Fanjun was just casually reminding Miao Yi, but she was also taken aback by Miao Yi's words. She furrowed her brows and said, "Previously, Yang Qing brought your letter to the Realm Beyond Heaven to negotiate. In order to gain my support, Yang Qing said that you were willing to come to the Realm Beyond Heaven as a hostage. Was that a lie?"
"Really?" Miao Yi asked Yun Zhiqiu.
Yun Zhiqiu paused for a moment. Then, he smiled at Mu Fanjun and said, "That's true. However, times have changed. Since you didn't fulfill your promise, I don't have to either."
"Hmph!" Mu Fanjun snorted coldly and returned to the topic. "I'll think about the marriage proposal. I'll give you an answer in half a day!"
"Alright!" Yun Zhiqiu turned around and tugged on Miao Yi's sleeve. "You won't be able to run away. If it's not yours, you won't be able to get it. If you're not in a hurry, come back with me. "
Miao Yi broke out in a cold sweat at her words. The couple left together.
After watching the two of them disappear, Mu Fanjun closed her eyes and pondered for a while with her hands behind her back. "Hongchen!"
Not far away, Hong Chen walked over lightly and said, "Your disciple is here!"
"You should have heard what the couple said just now, right?" Mu Fanjun turned to look at her.
The mortal world was calm. Jing Jing replied, "I heard you."
Mu Fanjun harrumphed, "You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. My disciple will only be the legal wife of the family no matter where she marries. How dare you take my disciple as a concubine? How presumptuous! But then again, a grown girl couldn't be kept at home. When it was time for her to get married, she still had to get married. If a woman didn't have a taste of what it was like to be a woman, she would have lived her life in vain. If you are willing to marry him, master will not stop you and will only give you his blessings. I won't let you down, and I'll arrange it for you in a grand manner! "
Hong Chen shook his head lightly. "I don't want to get married!"
This was a lie, but it was also her heartfelt words. Even though she had secretly contacted Miao Yi and expressed her willingness to marry him, she truly didn't want to get married.
Mu Fanjun naturally knew her disciple's personality. After a moment of silence, she took the initiative to hold Hong Chen's hand, a rare expression on her face. Holding Hong Chen's hand, she slowly walked along the eaves and down the corridor. She sighed and said, "Little girl! It's been a long time since we've had a peaceful conversation. Let's take a walk and talk about the truth. "
At this moment, Hong Chen felt a little dazed as she was being led by her master's hand. It was as though she had returned to her childhood. At that time, her master was very kind to her. He would always hold her little hand and say some warm words of encouragement to her. However, as she grew older, it seemed that it was difficult for her to return to being treated like a child. It had been a long time since her master spoke to her in such a gentle and soft voice. This situation made her nose a little sour. She couldn't help but look at Mu Fanjun's profile.
"Little girl! Do you know why the Five Sages are always by Miao Yi's side? "
"I don't know!"
"You've heard of the higher realms, right? Let me tell you about the Higher Realms. They do exist, and I've already sent your Senior Brother Zong Zhen there. He brought back quite a bit of information. Miao Yi is quite influential in the Higher Realms now … "
She told Fairy Hong Chen about the higher realms and Miao Yi's current status there. Fairy Hong Chen was shocked!
Mu Fanjun looked at Hong Chen and said earnestly, "Little girl, I know what you're thinking. You want to live a peaceful life, but you have to understand that the world is unpredictable. Without a stable foundation, how can you live a peaceful life? If you want to live a peaceful life, you have to have the right to do so. If one day, the Celestial Masters School loses its footing and suffers a calamity, do you think you'll be able to survive? In life, there are always many things we can't do. I want to live a carefree life as well, but what about your Senior Brothers, Sisters, and the others? If I leave them alone, there will immediately be people looking for trouble with them. If I want you all to avoid trouble, I can only move forward. Only by standing higher and having stronger wings can I protect you all. In this world, one cannot be selfish and only care about oneself. There will always be some responsibility to bear! Do you still remember what happened after your family was killed? Your Eldest Senior Brother did not hesitate to lead his men to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea to avenge you. Do you still remember this? "
Hong Chen nodded. "I remember!"
Mu Fanjun asked, "If one day, your Senior Brothers, Sisters, and Sisters need your help, will you be willing to help them?"
Hong Chen nodded. "I will."
Mu Fanjun placed Hong Chen's hand between her own and said in a deep voice, "The small world is big and small, and resources are limited. If you want your Senior Brothers, Sisters, and Sisters to develop and have a brighter future, then you must head to the higher world! However, compared to the higher world, we are still too insignificant. If we want to establish ourselves in an unknown place, it is inevitable that we will encounter hardships. In fact, we might even face the threat of death. Miao Yi, on the other hand, has already established himself in the higher world, and he is also quite influential. If we can gain his support, it will definitely save us a lot of trouble. At the very least, it will be better if he doesn't come looking for trouble with us. Now that he has taken a liking to you, it might be unfair for you to become his concubine, but it will only be beneficial to the school. Are you willing to suffer this injustice? "
Hong Chen was silent for a long time. This was the result she had hoped for when she went to look for Miao Yi. But now that she understood the reason, she felt a pang in her heart. In the end, however, she still nodded in response to Mu Fanjun's hopeful gaze. "I will follow Master's arrangements!"
"Good! At least I didn't dote on you for nothing! "Mu Fanjun's spirits lifted as she patted the back of Hong Chen's hand. Lowering her voice, she said, "After you marry him, do your best to keep an eye on him. If there is any news, inform me immediately. If something happens to me, I will need you to do your best to stay by his side. He also needs you to do your best to deal with him. Just based on the fact that he has taken a liking to your looks, this is the biggest thing you can rely on by his side. Remember, this will determine whether or not the school can quickly establish itself in the higher world. You must do your best! "
Hong Chen nodded silently. "Understood!"
Meanwhile, as soon as Miao Yi returned to his chambers, he invited Madam Miao to take a seat. He personally brought a cup of tea to Yun Zhiqiu, then asked with a frown, "Why did you agree to go to the Realm Beyond Heaven as a hostage? Why haven't I heard you mention this before? "
Yun Zhiqiu had been deep in thought the entire time. After taking a sip of tea to moisten her throat, she stared at Miao Yi and said with a faint smile, "I don't know anything about being a hostage at all."
Miao Yi sat down beside her and asked curiously, "Then when Mu Fanjun mentioned it earlier, why did you still admit to it? Why did you still admit to it? "
Yun Zhiqiu raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "Can't you tell? Someone is trying to get rid of me so that they can make Qin Weiwei his legal wife! What a vicious scheme, Grand Steward Yang. His traps are really one after another. Fortunately, there are many things he doesn't know. With the lack of information, his plan is incomplete. He didn't know that Yue Yao is your sister, and that it doesn't matter if Mu Fanjun wants me as a hostage. He didn't know that there's still the matter of the higher world. On top of that, you don't follow the rules. Otherwise, with his methods … Hmph! If Mu Fanjun hadn't coincidentally brought this up when you proposed, I'm afraid we would have been kept in the dark for the rest of our lives! "
Miao Yi was shocked and asked, "What's going on?"
Speaking of which … Yun Zhiqiu was also a little embarrassed. After all, she was the one who had done it behind Miao Yi's back then. Now that she was asked about it, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to keep it a secret anymore. She could only slowly explain how Yang Qing had instigated her to cooperate with him.
After listening to everything and combining it with what Mu Fanjun and Yun Zhiqiu had just said, she understood everything. Miao Yi was also so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. This bastard Yang Qing had actually schemed against both of them.
Miao Yi abruptly stood up and pointed at Yun Zhiqiu's nose, angrily saying, "Don't you know what kind of person Yang Qing is? Playing tricks with him is no different from asking a tiger for its skin. You can only use force to suppress a person like him. You don't need to reason with him. You just need to force him to achieve your goals. Don't let him lead you by the nose to achieve his goals. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died! "
Yun Zhiqiu stood up in embarrassment and hugged his arm. "I know I was wrong, alright?"
Miao Yi flung her arm away and angrily rebuked, "Don't give me that! I finally know why Little Sister was suddenly imprisoned by Mu Fanjun. So it's all because of you. If anything happens to Little Sister because of this, I'll divorce you, you bitch! "
Yun Zhiqiu's aura weakened a lot. She pouted and said, "I'm just making it up to Little Sister. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to let you marry Fairy Hong Chen."
"You …" Miao Yi was a little frustrated by this reason. He raised his hand and slapped Yun Zhiqiu across the face.
Yun Zhiqiu closed her eyes and didn't dodge.
The slap was about to land on her face, but Miao Yi's hand stopped. He couldn't bear to help her.
Yun Zhiqiu opened one eye to take a peek. Seeing this, she smiled, tilted her head, pouted her lips, and actually kissed Miao Yi's palm.
"How dare you try to rebel without a little discipline!" Miao Yi flew into a rage. He grabbed Yun Zhiqiu's arm and pushed her down onto the table. Then, he gave her butt a good spanking. This time, Yun Zhiqiu grimaced in pain, bit her lip, and let out a muffled groan.
She knew that the sibling bond they shared during their miserable days in the cold kiln was a weakness in this man's heart that he couldn't get rid of. She knew that she had touched his sore spot and knew she was in the wrong. Yun Zhiqiu didn't dare to make a sound. She obediently lay there, gritting her teeth as she endured the dozens of slaps. Her butt was really swollen now.
