Yun Zhiqiu gasped as he rubbed his buttocks in pain. He was about to say something along the lines of how cruel Miao Yi was when he suddenly heard Miao Yi say that he wanted to get rid of Yang Qing. Furthermore, he looked as though he had already made up his mind to do so. Yun Zhiqiu was taken aback and quickly stepped forward to stop Miao Yi from leaving. She exclaimed, "Are you crazy? It's not like you don't know that he's Weiwei's biological father. How are you going to answer to Weiwei if you kill him?!"
Miao Yi's plan was simple. "I don't have to do it myself. I can just get someone to secretly make a trip and settle it. With Yang Qing's meager cultivation, he won't be able to stop them. I won't let Weiwei know about this."
Yun Zhiqiu refused to let go. "You can hide it from Weiwei, but with Yang Qing's death, Weiwei will never give up until she finds the culprit. There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. What if Weiwei finds out the truth one day?"
Miao Yi said, "Yang Qing has already harbored the intention to kill his master. If he can make a move against you today, it's only a matter of time before he makes a move against me. It's too dangerous to keep such a person by my side."
Yun Zhiqiu shook his head. "It's not as serious as you think. He didn't intend to do anything to you this time. All he wanted was to get rid of me so that Weiwei could ascend to the throne. He had no ill intentions toward you."
Miao Yi's expression darkened. "What's the difference between getting rid of you and me?"
With just this one sentence, Yun Zhiqiu looked at him with infatuation. Her heart felt like it had just drunk honey. She moaned and hugged him tightly. "Forget it. With these words of yours, I'd be happy to die. Yang Qing is still useful."
Miao Yi stealthily cast a sidelong glance at the woman in his arms, then put on a serious expression and pushed her away. "If we don't do anything, he will think that there's no price to pay for plotting against us. He will definitely harbor ill intentions, and when that happens, Weiwei will be implicated as well. We must stop him in time!"
Yun Zhiqiu smiled and asked, "Are you afraid of him?"
"Pfft!" Miao Yi scoffed, "Do you think I'm afraid of him? I can do whatever I want to him. Only a pig brain like you can be fooled by him! "
"Alright! Is my pig brain okay? " Yun Zhiqiu dragged him back and forced him to sit down. "Since you're not afraid of him and think that you can control him, why did you kill him? It was indeed dangerous to be around such a person. But he does have the ability, and he will definitely be useful in the future. Listen to my advice and forget about this matter. "
Miao Yi asked her, "He wants to take your life. Don't you hate him? "
Yun Zhiqiu sighed and said, "Parents are always concerned about their children. He's just thinking for Weiwei's sake. He has no intention of harming you."
Miao Yi asked again, "You don't think Weiwei knew about this beforehand, do you?"
Yun Zhiqiu shook his head. "How is that possible? Weiwei had already fallen into Feng Beichen's hands at that time. How could she have known? I'm worried about something else. Yang Qing has obviously been interested in Hong Chen for a long time, but you want to take Hong Chen as your concubine and take away what he loves. If you don't handle this matter well, it might really cause Yang Qing to become disloyal! "
After a moment of silence, Miao Yi suddenly invoked his arts and shouted, "Third Brother!"
His voice reverberated throughout Immeasurable Heaven, causing everyone inside and outside the palace to look in that direction.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared outside the door. It was the Invincible Eagle. He gave Yun Zhiqiu a slight nod in greeting, then asked Miao Yi, "Ol 'Fifth, what is it?"
Miao Yi stood up and said solemnly, "I'll have to trouble Third Brother to make a trip to Suppressing Tenth Hall of Traversing Water Palace in the Celestial Nation's Fifth Earthly Branch and bring Yang Qing to me!"
Yun Zhiqiu was startled. "Niu Er, what are you trying to do?"
Miao Yi ignored him and only nodded at the Invincible Eagle, confirming his intentions.
The Invincible Eagle shot a glance at Yun Zhiqiu. Without another word, he turned and left.
While Yun Zhiqiu was busy arguing with Miao Yi, Mu Fanjun personally came over. "Hong Chen has already agreed. Let's discuss the wedding date!"
Miao Yi was too embarrassed to do this, so Yun Zhiqiu could only put Yang Qing's matter aside for now and invite Mu Fanjun to the side to discuss it.
At first, Mu Fanjun didn't want to make things too difficult for Hong Chen and wanted to arrange a lavish wedding for her. However, Hong Chen wanted to keep everything simple. She didn't want the wedding to be too complicated. Under her insistence, Mu Fanjun could only go along with her wishes and didn't force her any further. Naturally, she also mentioned the matter of keeping things simple during her discussion with Yun Zhiqiu.
Once everything was settled and the wedding date was set, Mu Fanjun brought Hong Chen back to the Realm Beyond Heaven to make preparations, leaving Zong Zhen alone here.
Sensing Mu Fanjun's departure, Ji Huan and the others were on high alert. They didn't know why Mu Fanjun would leave at a time like this, so they all went to look for her.
With Yun Aotian in the lead, the Four Sages came to find Miao Yi. As soon as they saw him, Yun Aotian asked, "When are we leaving for the higher realms?"
Just as Miao Yi was bashful, Yun Zhiqiu stepped forward and answered with a smile, "There's no rush. I'll treat everyone to a wedding banquet in half a month's time!"
"Wedding banquet?" The Four Sages were surprised and looked at each other. Ji Huan asked, "What wedding banquet? Is there going to be a joyous occasion? "
Miao Yi awkwardly covered his face with a cup of tea. Yun Zhiqiu patted Miao Yi's shoulder with enough force that Miao Yi shuddered and even spilled the tea in his teacup. Then, he smiled and said, "My husband wishes to take in a concubine. It won't be too late to make a move after the newlyweds are married."
The Four Sages looked at each other again. Situ Xiao asked, "May I know which family he's marrying?"
Yun Zhiqiu said, "Everyone knows her. She's Fairy Hong Chen, Mu Fanjun's beloved disciple. The wedding will be held on an auspicious day in half a month's time."
The Four Sages finally understood why Mu Fanjun would suddenly leave at a time like this. It turned out she was preparing for the wedding.
Faced with such a situation, the Four Sages couldn't say much. Aside from Yun Aotian, Ji Huan and the others congratulated Miao Yi, then left with their own thoughts.
Apart from Yun Aotian, Ji Huan and the other two left Immeasurable Heaven and hurried back to their respective territories.
The Invincible Eagle was indeed very fast. In just half a day, he had already made a round trip. He had captured Yang Qing from Suppressing Tenth Hall, summoned him from his beast sack, and tossed him in front of Miao Yi.
Yang Qing, whose cultivation had been temporarily sealed, looked up as he landed and saw Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu sitting on the ground. Miao Yi was staring coldly at him!
Yun Zhiqiu gave the Invincible Eagle a look. The latter nodded silently, then turned around and left.
"Milord, what did you summon me for?" Yang Qing pretended to be calm as he cupped his fists and asked.
Miao Yi scoffed, "Do you need me to remind you of what you've done? You've got guts. How dare you plot against the Madam! "
Yang Qing's mind hadn't stopped for even a moment as he was being captured. He could vaguely guess what was going on. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been 'invited' here in such a manner. Now, he was even more certain that he had been exposed. He also understood that there was no use in trying to explain himself now. With both hands holding onto the hem of his robe, he slowly knelt on the ground and said regretfully, "I was blinded by greed. I, Yang Qing, am willing to accept any punishment. However, this matter has nothing to do with Weiwei. I hope that Milord will not let Weiwei know about this. I, Yang Qing, am willing to die to atone for my crimes!"
Even though his attitude was clear, he wasn't worried at all. The reason he dared to try this trick under uncertain circumstances was because he knew Yun Zhiqiu's character. He knew that he could convince her. At the same time, it was also because he knew Miao Yi's character. As long as Qin Weiwei was around, and Yun Zhiqiu was fine, Miao Yi wouldn't do anything to him.
He had always been a steady person and wouldn't act rashly if he wasn't confident. After some consideration, there were only two possibilities. First, if the plan succeeded and Yun Zhiqiu died, then there would be no evidence. No one would know if Yun Zhiqiu willingly became a hostage, so Miao Yi couldn't blame him. Second, if the plan failed, then as long as Yun Zhiqiu was fine, with Qin Weiwei around, Miao Yi wouldn't go to such extremes.
There was another possibility. If the plan failed, Mu Fanjun wouldn't have brought it up for no reason. Thus, the matter could be forgotten.
Hence, there wasn't any danger on either side of him. Before he made his move, he was already in an invincible position. Naturally, he would act decisively!
"Die? That's too easy for you! " Miao Yi stood up and sneered, "Punishment is inevitable. Don't you like Fairy Hong Chen? Forget about it from now on. I'll discuss it with Mu Fanjun later and ask her to be your concubine! "
The corner of Yang Qing's mouth twitched violently. He lifted his head to look at Miao Yi, as though trying to determine from his expression whether he was telling the truth or not!
Miao Yi said aggressively, "What? You have an opinion? Do you want Weiwei to come over and make a decision? "
"I … I have no opinion!" Yang Qing shook his head bitterly, swallowing this bitter pill with great difficulty.
The clear and graceful figure that drifted down from the sky under the guidance of the red silk appeared in his mind. The expression reflected in his eyes was one of misery.
When he was captured, he had thought of all sorts of possibilities, but he never imagined that Miao Yi would use such a despicable and shameless method to deal with him. He realized that he had fallen into this bastard's hands for the rest of his life. Ever since he went up against this unreliable bastard, he had repeatedly miscalculated. No matter what he did, it was always the wrong thing to do. The other party did whatever he wanted to do and didn't care about his tricks at all.
Sitting upright, Yun Zhiqiu quickly covered her face with a teacup. She realized that her man was too shameless. He actually used such a method to settle the matter between Hong Chen and Yang Qing. He was clearly trying to steal her away, but now he made it sound like he was purposely punishing Yang Qing because of his mistake. Shameless! Today, she had finally seen what it meant to be a whore and still maintain a chastity!
Miao Yi wasn't done yet. He suddenly invoked his arts and shouted, "Qin Xi!"
Yang Qing absent-mindedly lifted his head to look at Miao Yi when he heard the name. His eyes were filled with bewilderment. He didn't know what Miao Yi was planning.
He really couldn't guess what Miao Yi was thinking. In short, he felt a sense of trepidation, and his heart was in turmoil!
Not long after, Qin Xi heard the commotion and arrived. As soon as she entered the hall, she saw Yang Qing kneeling on the ground. She was also taken aback. After exchanging glances with Yang Qing, she bowed and said, "Milord, Madam!"
Miao Yi gestured at Qin Xi with his lips, then said to Yang Qing, "You can forget about that one. Take a look at this one. Feng Beichen's widow. She's also your old lover. Marry this one! I told you to be so scheming and scheming. This time, I will fulfill your wish. At the same time, I can also say that you, Yang Qing, are really good at scheming. You predicted that she would become your wife today, so you hooked up with her long ago. I'm impressed! "
"…" Yang Qing was dumbfounded.
Yun Zhiqiu's cheeks tightened as she held onto her teacup. She almost spat out the tea in her mouth.
Qin Xi was confused. Before she could even react, Miao Yi had already calmly said, "Qin Xi, I have already decided to marry you to Yang Qing. Do you have any objections?"
Qin Xi was instantly flustered. She hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Milord, I have no intention of remarrying!"
'What kind of joke is this? He wants me to marry Feng Beichen's widow!' After Yang Qing recovered from his shock, he quickly cupped his fists and said, "Please retract your orders, milord!"
