Most importantly, even if they could enter, they didn't dare to. What was the difference between going to the Inferno Realm and seeking death? Countless people were exiled there and died without a trace.
"Of all places to hide, he had to hide in that godforsaken place. What is that Master White up to?" Yun Zhiqiu couldn't help but complain.
Miao Yi frowned and shook his head.
After all, he had made a huge fortune from his trip to the Immortal Planet, and he was looking forward to the next treasure trove. Who would've thought he'd run into this? Madam Biyue sent a message to Miao Yi, telling him to return to Heaven Avenue as soon as possible. She said she had something to discuss with him.
Miao Yi had wanted to 'disappear' for a while longer, but now that he couldn't go to the next treasure trove, he gave up on the idea. He replied, "I've just returned to Heaven Avenue."
Putting away the Star Bell, he stood up and said to Yun Zhiqiu, "Madam Biyue is looking for me. I'll go."
Hearing that it was Madam Biyue, Yun Zhiqiu immediately became alert and coldly reminded, "Keep your distance from that woman!"
Miao Yi glanced at Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who both had 'deep thoughts' on their faces, and laughed dryly, "What are you thinking?" He waved his hand and left.
Arriving at the City Guard Palace, Commander Miao immediately offered Madam Biyue a gift as soon as he saw her. It was a small token of appreciation.
Madam Biyue was clearly not in a good mood. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and she didn't even look at the items in the storage ring. She simply kept it and walked out the door, dragging her long skirt behind her. "Come on a walk with me!"
Miao Yi naturally couldn't refuse, so he followed behind her. In the garden, he saw Madam Biyue standing in front of a beautiful flower the size of a bowl, her fingertips touching the petals silently. He couldn't help but approach her and ask, "Is there something on your mind, Madam?"
Madam Biyue let go of the flower and sighed. She continued walking, "Niu Youde, something big has happened!"
Miao Yi replied, "I'm all ears."
"Have you heard about the three Heavenly Street Great Commanders that met with misfortune?"
"I have. It's precisely because I heard about it that I came back in a hurry. May I ask Madam, is there any follow-up to this matter? "
"It's not just the aftermath. This matter blew up. The officials in the Celestial Court were terrified. The Celestial Thearch was furious and scolded Marshal Huang Hao. If not for the officials pleading for him, Marshal Huang Hao would have lost his position."
Miao Yi scoffed in his heart. It wasn't like Huang Hao was the only one doing this. Naturally, the others would plead on his behalf. He asked doubtfully, "Does the Wu Road incident have anything to do with our Chou Road?"
"Of course it matters!" Lady Biyue walked into the pavilion and sat down. At the same time, she gestured for Miao Yi to sit with her and said, "The incident started with Huang Hao. The others were also reprimanded by the Celestial Emperor. In the end, the Celestial Emperor announced on the spot that he was going to clean up Sky Street."
Miao Yi didn't sit down. His superior was being courteous, but he wasn't going to sit on equal footing with his superior in public. He stood with his hands behind his back and asked, "How are we going to do that?"
Lady Biyue sighed, "The Celestial Emperor has already separated all the Sky Streets within the jurisdiction of the Celestial Court from the officials and handed them over to the Empress. He ordered the Empress to come up with a reorganization plan as soon as possible."
"This …" Miao Yi was a little shocked. This was a big matter, a big change! He quickly asked, "Stripping power from everyone? Won't the officials object?"
Lady Biyue shook her head, "When the Wu Road incident happened, the one who was scolded the most was Huang Hao. But everyone's butts aren't clean. How can they object? The officials collectively fell silent … From now on, we are no longer under the control of Lieutenant Cao Wanxiang. My Marquis husband can no longer control me. We are now under the direct control of the Empress. "
Miao Yi asked, "How does the Empress plan to reorganize?"
"This is the reason why I called you here. The Empress hasn't come up with the specific reorganization plan yet. Her first task is to take over the various Sky Streets and hand them over to the officials. I have already received the notice. I will be rushing to the Celestial Palace to meet the Empress today. I will be going to all the main towns of the Sky Streets. When you return, quickly gather your subordinates and ask if there is anything else that needs to be reported. If there is, report it to me immediately so that I can be prepared. As for the specific situation, we will talk about it after I meet the Empress. "
"Yes!" Miao Yi replied.
After leaving the City-Guarding Palace, he returned to the Eastern District Governor's Office with a little worry. He had a grudge with Xiahou Longcheng, and the Empress was a member of the Xiahou family. She was also Xiahou Longcheng's aunt. Although he didn't think the Empress would use her power to avenge a small fry like him, he was still a little worried. It was easy to deal with a big shot, but a small fry was difficult!
The first thing he did when he returned was naturally to gather the commanders of the four districts and ask Murong Xinghua about it. Although she was Cao Wanxiang's wife, she didn't know about it. He quickly contacted Cao Wanxiang to ask about it, but Cao Wanxiang didn't know either. It was clear that Lady Biyue had a husband who was an immortal in the Celestial Court. She was well-informed and knew everything immediately.
No one dared to underestimate such a big matter. The commanders of the four districts immediately returned to their respective territories and gathered their subordinates to inquire about the situation in Sky Streets. In the end, they summarized the situation to Miao Yi.
After passing the information to Lady Biyue, Miao Yi sent a message to Yun Zhiqiu. He only said that he had official business to attend to and couldn't return for the time being. But he secretly disguised himself and went to Huangfu Jun. Y was there.
It was the first time that Miao Yi came to him on his own. Y was pleasantly surprised. As soon as they met, they hugged each other affectionately.
Miao Yi pushed her away and told her about the reorganization of Sky Streets. He asked her to find out more information so that she could prepare in advance if anything happened.
'Huangfu Jun?' Y didn't know about it either. He was annoyed and amused at the same time. "I was wondering why you were so kind as to send me some warmth. It's not my place to ask about it, but I'll keep an eye out for it. "
That night, Miao Yi stayed over. It wasn't easy for him to come over, so it was hard for him not to stay over. The two of them couldn't avoid making love on the bed.
Miao Yi went to Huangfu Jun in the middle of the night. Y crawled up from the entanglement naked. He wanted to go back, afraid that he would attract too much attention if he waited until morning.
'Huangfu Jun?' Y was rather upset. As he helped Miao Yi bathe and dress, he grumbled, "You'll be discovered sooner or later if you climb over the wall like this. Why don't we dig a tunnel? I'll go to your place. It's more convenient for you to come to my place."
'Dig again? By then, the ground of Sky Streets will collapse! ' Miao Yi coughed dryly. "That's not a good idea. Sky Streets strictly forbids digging tunnels underground. Why don't we do this? When we meet in the future, we can disguise ourselves and go to an inn. Or I can get myself a house somewhere outside the city. "
'Huangfu Jun?' Y shook his head. "I'm a woman who goes out all the time. It's hard not to arouse the suspicion of others in the Great Ensemble. Let's dig a tunnel."
Miao Yi was vague, unwilling to agree …
A few months later, Madam Biyue returned from the Sky Palace. She stayed for a few days at the Sky Manor before returning. The first thing she did when she returned was to summon Miao Yi.
As soon as they met, Miao Yi eagerly asked, "Madam, how does the Heavenly Empress plan to reorganize Sky Streets?"
Madam Biyue sat on the high seat with the pink fox in her arms. She said with a serious expression, "The reorganization this time is a good thing for me. The Heavenly Empress wants to abolish the main towns of each Sky Street. From now on, there will only be one main town for every ten Sky Streets. My husband is one of the 72 Marquises of the Heavenly Court after all. It won't be difficult for him to fight for one of the eight hundred Sky Streets main towns. The Heavenly Empress has already tacitly agreed to it. However, I might have to move to another place in the future. Once the appointment is made, the City-Guarding Palace will be handed over to you immediately.
Miao Yi immediately cupped his fists and smiled. "Congratulations, Madam. I hope you'll look after me in the future." He was really happy to hear this news. It wasn't good to always have a superior watching over him. Moving to the City-Guarding Palace was secondary. The main thing was that from now on, he would have the final say in Sky Street on Tianyuan Planet.
Based on his friendship with Madam Biyue, he reckoned that the position of Sky Street Grand Commander wouldn't be removed for him.
Madam Biyue looked at him with a complicated expression. She continued, "The number of Sky Street Grand Commanders will remain the same. Every ten Sky Streets will be governed by a main town. Every ten main towns will be governed by a general. Above each general will be a Governor. After the Governor, the Heavenly Empress will be in charge. Aside from the position of Sky Street Grand Commander, the other positions have become targets for the ministers of the imperial court. It wouldn't be a loss if they could get one of their own. As a result, the Heavenly Empress' reorganization plan has been actively supported by the ministers. A small amount of resistance couldn't stop the Heavenly Empress' reorganization. Only the Xiahou Family suffered a great loss in this reorganization. In order to support the Heavenly Empress' reorganization, and to avoid suspicion, they didn't participate in the competition for positions in the Sky Street system. "
Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that the Xiahou Family didn't interfere. Xiahou Longcheng didn't have a chance to use a chicken feather as an arrow. But on the surface, he sighed, "The Xiahou Family really suffered a loss in supporting the Heavenly Empress."
Madam Biyue shook her head. "The people in the imperial court won't be at peace just because the Xiahou Family made a concession. Now that the Heavenly Empress is in power, there are people who immediately suggested to the Celestial Emperor and the Heavenly Empress to have children soon. What are they thinking? I'm afraid it's a counterattack against the Heavenly Empress' reorganization. After all, it has affected the interests of many people!"
Miao Yi sighed in his heart. This matter was too far away from him. It wasn't something he should worry about. He asked curiously, "Why is no one interested in the position of Sky Street Grand Commander?"
Madam Biyue hesitated. She didn't have the heart to tell him, but she couldn't hide it either. She sighed, "Niu Youde, you have to be mentally prepared. This time, because of the death of the three Sky Street Grand Commanders, the reorganization will focus on Sky Street. The Heavenly Empress has decided that all the cultivators in the Celestial Court who meet the requirements can compete for the position of the 8,000 Sky Street Grand Commander."
"Compete?" Miao Yi was stunned. "How?"
