Murong Xinghua said helplessly, "During the examination, I betrayed him once. He let bygones be bygones and saved me. If it wasn't for him, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it back alive. After that, he treated me well. Isn't this too much?"
Cao Wanxiang said disdainfully, "Why did he let bygones be bygones? Why did he save you? Why did he treat you well? He's just a mere commander. How dare he disrespect me, a lieutenant? In the end, it's because of my status that he didn't dare to act rashly. Back then, he didn't care about the consequences and killed so many people. Now that it's time to repay his debt, he asked for it. Listen to me. Keep your distance from him in case someone else takes over Sky Street and makes things difficult for you. "
What could Murong Xinghua argue with him? All that was left was a sigh …
Xu Tangran, Fu Qing, and the Invincible Eagle stood behind Miao Yi. Miao Yi stood straight in front of them and didn't fight for a path with the others. He watched as the group of Generals left, then watched as the group of Heaven's Avenue Great Commanders led their subordinates away.
When everyone was gone, Miao Yi said, "Let's go!"
As the four of them turned around, they heard Lady Biyue's laughter from behind, "You haven't left yet. Is something the matter?"
The four of them turned around and saw Lady Biyue and Marquis Tian Yuan walking out of the grand hall together. They didn't know when Tian Yuan had entered the grand hall.
Tian Yuan's gaze paused on Miao Yi for a moment, then he frowned slightly.
The four of them hurried forward to greet him, bowing and cupping their fists, "Greetings, Marquis. Greetings, Madam."
Tian Yuan walked down the steps and glanced down at them. Without another glance, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
"Marquis, this is Niu Youde …" Lady Bi Yue reminded. Tian Yuan didn't look at her and was surprised for a moment. Then he smiled and said: "Remember to drink a few more cups tonight." Then he quickly chased after Niu Youde.
"Yes!" Miao Yi and the others straightened their backs and watched as the Tian Yuan couple disappeared into the moon gate.
At first, Cao Wanxiang's disdain didn't affect Miao Yi much. He could even ignore the other Heaven's Avenue Great Commanders. But now, Tian Yuan's reaction shocked him. It was obvious that Tian Yuan's attitude could directly affect Madam Biyue. If he didn't have her support in the future, he wouldn't have a good life.
Xu Tangran, Fu Qing, and Invincible Eagle felt a chill run down their spines. How were they supposed to survive in the Heavenly Court with the attitude of the higher-ups?
"Let's go!" Miao Yi slowly exhaled, then turned around and led the other three away.
In the inner garden, Lady Biyue quickly caught up to Tian Yuan and pulled his sleeve, "What do you mean? After all, he's my subordinate. How can you not give him any face? How will my subordinates look at me in the future? "
Tian Yuan smiled disapprovingly. "Ever since the Empress announced the reorganization, he has lost the right to be the commander of Sky Street. What's more, is there a need for me, a marquis, to be polite to a commander? Do I need to be polite? "
Lady Biyue was puzzled, "Didn't you admire him back then? Didn't you say he was a talent and purposely kept him to help me? "
Tian Yuan smiled, "That was before the reorganization was announced. Now, even we can't help him. Remember, a talent that doesn't have a chance to grow is not a talent!"
Lady Biyue rolled her eyes, "Aren't you being a little too snobbish? Is there a need to be like this? Can't you at least have the demeanor of a marquis? Can't you at least pretend on the surface? "
Tian Yuan said disdainfully, "That guy has offended so many people and knows some things he shouldn't know. If it weren't for the fact that he's already on the list, he'd be dead for sure. Plus, no one is happy to have someone else be the commander now. Otherwise, would he still be here? I wouldn't have needed anyone else to do anything. I would have already asked you to take care of him as an explanation to the others. Not touching him is already giving me enough face. What more do you want me to do? "
Lady Biyue sighed, "He has been with me for so many years after all."
Tian Yuan said, "Some things are self-inflicted. If he didn't make the decision on his own back then, how could he be where he is today? If he didn't offend so many people, with his ability, I could still hope for him to come back alive. Now … do you believe that once he enters hell, he'll be killed by a bunch of people? Even if he doesn't enter hell, his future will be ruined. Is it worth it for me to protect a person with no future and offend others? He doesn't look at the big picture when he does things and acts impulsively according to his own preferences. He has to swallow the bitter wine he brewed himself. Coming to this circle and not following the rules of the game, he's just looking for death. You and I have supported him for so many years and have done our best. We don't owe him anything, so don't think too much about it! "
Lady Biyue followed behind him and lowered her head, muttering, "What if he comes back alive?"
Tian Yuan said, "What a woman! So what? If he comes back, he'll still be your subordinate and has to listen to you. He still has to rely on your background to support him. Do you think he can overturn the heavens? "
That night, a banquet was held in Dong Hua's headquarters. Commander Biyue expressed her gratitude to the guests.
The commanders were all in the inner garden while the rest sat in the outer garden.
When Miao Yi and the others were led to the row of seats for the Great Commanders of Heaven Avenue, they saw that Zhang Hanfang's table was half empty, so they took their seats.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Hanfang suddenly extended his hand and said, "Excuse me, there are people sitting here."
Miao Yi glanced at him and turned to the next table. In the end, Commander Ding Zequan also extended his hand to stop him, saying, "There are people sitting here too."
"This seat is already reserved." Liu Guiping, who was sitting at the next table, also extended his hand to stop them.
Miao Yi glanced at the row of seats and realized that other than the three female Great Commanders who were not here, the remaining six Great Commanders had led their subordinates to sit separately, occupying the entire row of seats. There were obviously empty seats everywhere, so it was obvious that they were deliberately making things difficult for him.
"Everyone, what is the meaning of this? Everyone is here. Who else can it be? "Miao Yi asked calmly.
Commander Yao Xingyao suddenly waved his hand, and the group of shopkeepers in the seats behind him suddenly got up and walked over, sitting in the empty seats one after another.
Commander Rui Fanrui chuckled and said, "It's full. Do you see now? Great Commander Niu, there's no seat for you here. You should find somewhere else. "
The row of shopkeepers on this side, as well as the group of shopkeepers behind them, immediately burst into laughter.
The shopkeepers from the Heaven's Origin Planet could only stifle their laughter. No one dared to laugh out loud.
Miao Yi, on the other hand, was calm. Xu Tangran, Fu Qing, and Invincible Eagle's expressions were a little ugly.
Yun Zhiqiu and Huang Fujun, who were seated nearby? Y stared blankly at Miao Yi's group of four being mocked by the crowd. Yun Zhiqiu bit her lip in distress, while Huang Fujun had a complicated expression on his face. They couldn't imagine how the high and mighty Great Commander Niu of the Heaven's Origin Planet could endure such humiliation.
The two girls had personally witnessed Miao Yi's embarrassment in front of so many people in such a situation.
Miao Yi swept a glance at the shopkeepers who had come to reserve seats. He didn't recognize any of them, so he knew that none of them were from the Heaven's Origin Planet. He looked around, his gaze landing on Yun Zhiqiu and Huang Fujun. Y turned around and said, "Let's go!"
He led the three of them to Yun Zhiqiu's table. Seeing that it was still empty, he sat down and nodded to the two girls. "Shopkeeper Huangfu, Shopkeeper Yun, there's no place to sit. Let's have a seat."
"Haha! Hiding under a woman's skirt to hide. "
On the other side, Zhang Hanfang suddenly sighed to the sky. He wasn't looking at Miao Yi, but anyone could tell that he was targeting Miao Yi. Immediately, the crowd burst into laughter again.
Miao Yi seemed to have turned a deaf ear to it. He glanced at Yun Zhiqiu, who shook her head slightly, signaling him not to act rashly.
She was really afraid that Miao Yi's temper would flare up. It was obvious from the look of things. If a fight were to break out, everyone would be against Miao Yi, and they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Fu Qing and the others were also worried that Miao Yi would act rashly. Great Commander Miao had always been impulsive!
However, Miao Yi's temper was surprisingly good today. His expression was calm, and he didn't seem to have any intention of flaring up.
Even after the dishes were served, the taunts did not stop.
Murong Xinghua was the first to return. When he found Miao Yi and the others who had taken their seats, he didn't know who they were mocking at first. Only when he informed Miao Yi of his presence and sat down did he realize that they were all mocking him.
"You're just a coward who hides in his own territory and acts all high and mighty. Once outside, you're just a coward."
"What a bastard who uses his master's power to bully others."
"You can't say that. He's so arrogant, killing thousands of people. Does he think no one in this world would dare to beat a dog?"
"If he's so capable, let him try killing someone in my territory. I'll break his legs, and I'll scold him. Would he dare to say a word?"
"At the end of the day, you still have to look at the master before you beat a dog. Even if we don't give face to others, we still have to give face to the Head Commander!"
"Do you think this bastard dares to participate in the assessment?!"
"If he does, I'll kill him. If he doesn't, I'll put a dog leash around his neck and let him go."
The taunts and laughter came one after another. The atmosphere was lively, but Fu Qing, Invincible Eagle, and Xu Tangran couldn't raise their heads under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Even someone as thick-skinned as Xu Tangran couldn't sit still.
Murong Xinghua's expression was a little ugly as well. From time to time, he would tilt his head to look at Miao Yi. He couldn't believe that the person who dared to risk his life repeatedly during the assessment could actually endure such humiliation today!
Yun Zhiqiu's expression was tense, and her fists were trembling under the table. She couldn't bear to listen anymore. Just as she was about to explode, Miao Yi suddenly raised his cup to suppress her anger and said, "Let's drink!"
Everyone at the table silently raised their cups, hoping to leave as soon as possible. However, Miao Yi had no intention of leaving the table early. He forcefully finished the banquet amidst the taunts and taunts.
After the banquet, the Dong Hua headquarters couldn't accommodate so many guests for the night, so most of them bid farewell to their hosts and left.
When Miao Yi led the four of them to bid farewell to Madam Biyue, she looked at Miao Yi with a complicated expression. It was impossible for her not to have heard about the commotion outside. When she heard the news in the inner garden, she wanted to go out and stop it, but Marquis Tianyuan grabbed her wrist and stopped her. She didn't know how Miao Yi managed to endure it.
He didn't say much, just a few polite words, reminding Miao Yi to go back and guard Celestial Street.
When the group left the headquarters, they 'coincidentally' bumped into Yun Zhiqiu and Huangfu Jun, who had left earlier? Y, and the two of them left together.
On the way, Huangfu Jun? Y wanted to say something, but it wasn't convenient for him to transmit his voice so that the others could see anything. However, he couldn't hold it in any longer. In the end, he forced a smile and said, "Great Commander, you don't have to bother yourself with those scoundrels."
"Hmph! You think I'm afraid of them? Do they think they're worthy? Even if they come at me together, I'm confident in killing them all! The ones I'm truly afraid of, the ones who don't show their faces or make a sound, are the ones who don't show their faces or make a sound. It's all because I know something I shouldn't know. There are people who want to kill me with a borrowed knife, and this is what I'm enduring. As for those barking bastards, I'll deal with them another day! "
