There was a courtyard outside the Boundless Palace. Yang Zhaoqing had moved out of the Boundless Palace after his wedding.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the courtyard's entrance, they heard the sound of a woman laughing inside. When they walked closer, they saw Lin Pingping, Wu Qunfang, and Cheng Yingwu were there as well. Cheng Yingwu had her hands on her hips and was swaying her braids. She seemed to be mimicking someone else's walk, and Lin Pingping and Wu Qunfang couldn't stop laughing.
Now, Wu Qunfang and Cheng Yingwu volunteered to stay in the Boundless Celestial Realm to take care of the flowers and plants. Meanwhile, Cheng Yaowei had been demoted to become the Palace Lord, and his other children had all become Hall Masters. Wu Qunfang and Cheng Yingwu were staying in the Boundless Realm because they wanted to maintain their relationship with the higher-ups. It was also for the sake of the Cheng clan's future.
As Cheng Yingwu turned around and swung her braids, she accidentally caught sight of Miao Yi and the others smiling at her from afar. She was immediately dumbfounded.
Lin Pingping and Wu Qunfang turned around and were stunned as well. They quickly stood up and led Cheng Yingwu over to greet Miao Yi. "Greetings, Sacred Lord!"
"There's no need for formalities!" Miao Yi gestured for them to stand up, then walked past the trio and entered the pavilion to take a seat. Lin Pingping quickly ordered the servants to serve them tea.
Looking at the bashful Cheng Yingwu standing outside the pavilion, Miao Yi smiled and said, "Yingwu, are you dancing? Go on. Show me. "
He was just teasing her, but Wu Qunfang immediately urged her daughter, "Yingwu, didn't you hear what the Sacred Lord said? Show The Lord what you're best at. "
Miao Yi was taken aback. 'Does this bandit girl really know how to dance?' She wasn't forcing herself, was she?
"Yes!" Cheng Yingwu replied meekly. Feeling a little embarrassed, she slowly backed away.
After regaining her footing, she casually summoned a sword artifact and calmed herself down. Then, she raised the sword in her hand and twisted her waist, causing her skirt to flutter in the wind. She hooked her legs like a crescent moon and stood still on one leg! Then, the sword gleamed again. Cheng Yingwu stretched out her arms and legs, her figure graceful and graceful, and her braids dancing in the wind. She was clearly performing a sword dance.
A unique aura permeated the courtyard. Amidst the wildness, there was a hint of feminine firmness and gentleness. At times, it was like a lone smoke in the desert, at other times, it was like the crescent moon in the sky, and at other times, it was like the setting sun over a long river. It was an indescribably free and easy feeling. Cheng Yingwu seemed to be expressing her emotions through her dance as she gradually immersed herself into it.
This was Miao Yi's first time witnessing such an alluring dance. There was indeed something special about it, and he couldn't help but be captivated by it. Everyone else's gaze followed Cheng Yingwu's dancing figure as well. Only Wu Qunfang would occasionally glance at Miao Yi's reaction as she watched her daughter.
After the dance, Cheng Yingwu placed her sword in front of her chest and stroked the sword with her fingers, officially ending the dance. She then held the sword in her hand and cupped her fists at Miao Yi in embarrassment. "I've embarrassed myself in front of the Venerable Sacred Lord."
Pa pa! Miao Yi clapped his hands in congratulations, then shook his head and exclaimed, "I thought you were only suited to be a desert bandit. I didn't expect you to know how to dance as well. However, judging from the way you dance, it seems like you're still reminiscing about the Great Desert. Living here seems to be restricting you a little. If you really like the Great Desert, why don't you ask Steward Yang to make arrangements for you in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea? "
Wu Qunfang, who was at the side, quickly said, "Ying Wu still prefers to serve The Lord."
"Haha! It doesn't matter where I serve, as long as I have the heart. " Miao Yi waved his hand and decided to put this matter aside for now. He then turned to Lin Pingping and teased, "Lin Pingping, this subordinate of mine didn't mistreat you after marrying you, did he? Is he still suitable to be your man? "
Lin Pingping was a little embarrassed as she replied, "He's fine!"
Yang Zhaoqing chuckled beside her.
After a few questions and answers, Miao Yi had something to ask Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing, and the ladies left.
While Yang Zhaoqing was returning to the inner yard, Lin Pingping suddenly appeared from the side, pulled him aside and whispered to him.
Yang Zhaoqing frowned and said, "That's not appropriate, is it? Why are you getting involved in this matter?"
Lin Pingping muttered, "Since he has the heart, there's no harm in asking Milord for his opinion."
And so, not long after Miao Yi left the courtyard, Yang Zhaoqing suddenly spoke up beside Miao Yi, "Milord, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
Miao Yi smiled and said, "Speak your mind."
As he walked down the stairs, Yang Zhaoqing hesitated for a moment, then cautiously said, "Wu Qunfang has asked Lin Pingping to ask Milord for Cheng Yingwu to serve by your side."
Miao Yi smiled and said, "I don't think there's a need for that."
Seeing that Miao Yi still didn't seem to understand, Yang Zhaoqing decided to be straightforward and said, "Wu Qunfang means that if Milord doesn't mind Cheng Yingwu, she would like Milord to take her as a concubine."
Miao Yi stopped in his tracks, then continued walking forward. He shook his head and said, "There's no need to mind. Don't you know what she's after? She's after the Cheng Clan's future. Cheng Yingwu is just a sacrifice, and that's definitely not her intention. I have plenty of women by my side. I can never use them all. I don't lack women! If I'm in the mood, I can take Cheng Yingwu whenever I want. However, it's not up to Wu Qunfang to arrange it for me. You shouldn't be getting involved in Zhaoqing's matter. You can still help Yan Xiu. "
"Understood!" Yang Zhaoqing was a little uncomfortable. Given his status, he shouldn't have said such a thing. As Milord's close aide, he shouldn't have tried to meddle in the affairs of the Milord's harem. This could possibly affect the competition for Miao Yi's favor, so he had no choice but to stand on Milord's side. If word of this reached the Madam's ears, not only the Madam, but even Yang Qing would definitely be unhappy if word of this reached his ears. Miao Yi regretted his actions this time. He would have to give Lin Pingping a good scolding when he got back.
The next day, Yang Qing sent someone to fetch Wen Fang.
As soon as she saw Miao Yi and his wife, Wen Fang felt a little nervous. The difference in their statuses gave her an invisible pressure, not to mention that they hadn't seen each other for a long time. However, she still tried her best to put on a relaxed expression and greeted them with a smile, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law. These are some pastries that I personally made before I came." She carried a gift box in her arms.
Miao Yi chuckled, then told her about how he brought her to the Boundless Nation's Chamber of Commerce. Wen Fang was naturally delighted.
Yun Zhiqiu was a good person. He chatted with Wen Fang for a while and gave her some small gifts.
The Sect Master of the Jade Lady Sect, Zhuge Qing, acted swiftly. She had already made preparations for Ye Xin and Tan Lao's wedding before Yao Ruoxian's.
When the Boundless Realm received the news, Miao Yi wanted to drag Yun Zhiqiu along with him. However, Yun Zhiqiu refused.
She could give Ye Xin and Tan Lao some face, but she resented the fact that Zhuge Qing was using Miao Yi's relationship with Ye Xin, Tan Lao, and Miao Yi as a threat. She felt that there was no need for the two of them to go together to support the Jade Lady Sect. Her original intention was for her to go and not for Miao Yi. However, Miao Yi insisted on going because of their old friendship. In that case, Yun Zhiqiu had no choice but to refuse.
Yun Ruoshuang wanted to go along with Miao Yi, but Yun Zhiqiu pulled on her ear.
Miao Yi had no choice but to bring Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing along.
After the Celestial Nation's Fifth Earthly Branch's forces moved to the Boundless Nation, they still occupied the Fifth Earthly Branch. The Jade Lady Sect used Miao Yi's name as an excuse to send invitations to the entire Fifth Earthly Branch. The Fifth Earthly Branch's Overlord and Palace Lords all came to congratulate them, and the Sect Masters of the various sects all came to congratulate them. For a moment, the Jade Lady Sect was in the limelight.
"Greetings, Holy Lord!"
When Miao Yi arrived, he was greeted by a thunderous welcome. The crowd bowed down to welcome him.
The new Overlord of the Sea of Constellations, Lush Verdant Yao King, and the Sect Master of the Jade Lady Sect, Zhuge Qing, both stepped forward to welcome Miao Yi, respectfully leading the way.
With a white veil covering her face, Zhuge Qing turned around to look. She was a little disappointed when she didn't see Yun Zhiqiu. If Yun Zhiqiu could come as well, then the wedding would naturally be even grander. Yun Zhiqiu's absence wasn't just a sign that there was one less person, it was also a sign of how much she valued the wedding. She had asked Ye Xin before, and she knew that Yun Zhiqiu valued Miao Yi's old friends quite a bit. Zhuge Qing was a little surprised that she didn't come.
The Holy Lord of the Boundless Nation, who was faintly considered to be the strongest person in the world and had surpassed the other five sages, was actually personally attending the wedding of a disciple of the Jade Lady Sect. All the disciples of the Jade Lady Sect were looking forward to it, feeling proud of it. Their faces were glowing, and it seemed like the rise of the Jade Lady Sect was just around the corner.
On the other hand, the people from the other sects lining the streets to welcome the wedding were all envious of the Jade Lady Sect.
Along the way, Miao Yi wore a faint smile on his face. He saw many familiar faces on both sides of the street. Traversing Moon Palace Lord Zhang Tianxiao, Traversing Water Palace Lord Tao Qingli and his wife Sikong Wuwei, Traversing Wood Palace Lord Cheng Aofang, Zhao Fei, and Wu Menglan were also here. The Sect Master of the Sword Deviate Sect, Wen Laigong, and his disciple Gu Sanzheng were standing together. The Sect Master of the Sect of the Three Founders, Peng Yu …
There were many familiar faces. Miao Yi nodded slightly in greeting. With his current status, it was no longer appropriate for him to put his arm around these familiar faces in public. In fact, it wasn't even appropriate for him to be friendly with them today. He would have to wait until the wedding was over before he could meet them in private.
That night, Tan Lao and Ye Xin's wedding was naturally a sight to behold. The Jade Lady Sect and the School of Beast Taming had done everything they could to jointly host the wedding. They had used all the resources they could and were willing to pay any price to hold the wedding. Needless to say, the delicacies served at the banquet were all for the world to see.
The School of Beast Taming School's Sect Master was even a little unhappy that they couldn't get their own sect to hold the wedding.
After the wedding banquet was over, the best courtyard that had been meticulously tidied up was naturally prepared for Miao Yi. In the main hall, Miao Yi received some of his old friends and acquaintances. Other than Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing, who stood beside Miao Yi's seat, the only one left was Zhuge Qing.
As he sat, Miao Yi's gaze fell upon Zhuge Qing's face. He stood up and walked over, staring straight into Zhuge Qing's eyes.
At first, he didn't expect Zhuge Qing to cause such a huge commotion. He wasn't an idiot. With a single glance, he could tell that Zhuge Qing was trying to borrow his influence.
Zhuge Qing was a little frightened by his stare. She watched as Miao Yi reached out to her and pulled off the white veil covering her face. With an expressionless wave of his hand, the white veil fell to the ground, revealing her true appearance.
Zhuge Qing pursed her lips. Miao Yi, on the other hand, was a little shocked.
On the other hand, Miao Yi was a little shocked. His gaze was fixated on her face. Her long hair was coiled into a bun, her skin as fair as snow, her brows as deep as the mountains in the distance, her eyes as clear as water, her cherry lips slightly open, and her eyes flashing with a frown was enough to make any man fall for her. Her beauty was even more stunning than Qin Xi's.
Now he finally understood why this woman always wore a veil over her face. He didn't expect that beneath the veil, there was actually such a stunning beauty.
Having just enjoyed a feast of fine wine, under the stimulation of alcohol and women, Miao Yi swallowed his saliva. He looked towards Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing, then tilted his head and let out a nasal sound, "Mm."
The two of them exchanged glances. Understanding his intentions, they quickly retreated.
Just as Zhuge Qing was feeling nervous, the next thing she worried about happened. Miao Yi tyrannically pulled her into his embrace. With a beauty in his arms, he carried her away. This was the price he had to pay!
Inside the room, Zhuge Qing didn't put up any resistance. Her graceful, jade-like body couldn't withstand the tossing and turning, and the night was spent in silence.
