Miao Yi was already mentally prepared for this outcome. After Su Li betrayed him, he was already mentally prepared.
This was what it meant to do when one knew it was impossible. It was not his style to give up without trying. At least he had a sliver of hope. Even if he could find one, he believed that he could find a bunch more after all the examiners from the Heavenly Court gathered. However, the outcome was still a slight blow to his confidence.
Since he couldn't find a single ally, he gave up. He knew that there was no need to try again after all the examiners from the Heavenly Court were gathered.
He had truly given up on his fantasies. Every day, there would be people scolding and ridiculing him from outside the courtyard. Su Li was even egged on every day. Every time he opened his mouth, he would be met with laughter. Miao Yi sat cross-legged in his room and calmly cultivated. He turned a deaf ear to the commotion, and prepared himself to face it alone!
However, the reason why these people wanted to humiliate Miao Yi wasn't just to feel good about themselves. They also wanted to express their goodwill to the people behind them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be doing this all day like shrews with nothing better to do. Naturally, they wanted to spread the news.
With Xing Ling's help, the news of Miao Yi being humiliated at the East Flower Headquarters spread like wildfire in the Heaven's Origin Planet. Centurion Su Li's insults were even more spectacular.
As soon as the news reached Heaven Street, there were already people sharpening their knives against Miao Yi before the assessment even began. And this was only the East Flower Headquarters. When the time came, Miao Yi would have to face even more people. There was no way he could survive. Everyone seemed to already know Miao Yi's fate!
As soon as the news spread, Yun Zhiqiu immediately gathered the women from each branch for a meeting. She warned them, "Milord is alone and facing great pressure. No matter what is going on, do not disturb him. Don't let him bear the pressure and feel ashamed to face his family. Everyone must believe in his ability. You must believe that he will be able to turn the situation around. Do not give him any psychological pressure and cause him to do something rash just to save face. Do you all understand? "
She was already pounding the table in front of the silent women.
After a round of instructions, the women dispersed. Yun Zhiqiu broke down on the spot. She hugged Qian'Er and Xue'Er and started sobbing.
Back at her shop, Qin Weiwei was also feeling terrible. The situation outside was constantly pointing to Miao Yi not having long to live, and the immense pressure was almost suffocating her. She wanted to contact Miao Yi and ask him how he was doing, but Yun Zhiqiu forbade everyone from disturbing him.
With nowhere to relieve the pressure, the first person he looked to was Yang Qing. He wanted to find Yang Qing to relieve his stress.
Yang Qing asked for the details of the situation, then told her, "Weiwei, in this aspect, you're not as good as Yun Zhiqiu. She's much more composed than you are, and she's able to keep her composure. Under such circumstances, there's nothing you can do to change the situation. Don't bother Miao Yi." If he can't overcome this obstacle, he'll have to return in failure. In the future, he'll have to be sneaky, and it'll be difficult for him to control the others who are heading to the small worlds. Only by following the rules of the Heavenly Court and leading everyone through the onslaught of the great storms will he be able to become the true pillar of support for everyone. Including you, you'll be able to share in this as well. Do you understand me?
Qin Weiwei: Dad! But he's really in danger now. I'm so scared!
Yang Qing: Weiwei! For him to be able to come this far, there must be a combination of both internal and external factors. Some of them are known to us, and some of them are unknown to us. It's definitely not luck. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for all of his luck to be concentrated on him alone! Since he dared to take such a huge risk, he must have a certain level of confidence. If he didn't have the slightest bit of confidence, he would definitely have run back. The current Miao Yi is no longer the hothead he was back then. He's no longer the reckless brat he was back then. After experiencing so many storms, he's gradually matured. I can even see the trajectory of his maturity. If it was the him from back then, he definitely wouldn't have been able to endure such humiliation. With his temper, he wouldn't have let those people off so easily. The fact that he's able to remain calm and collected now shows that he has a certain level of confidence in himself. He has the confidence to come back and settle the score with those people. Otherwise, he would definitely have dragged those people down with him first. You've been with him for so many years. Why don't you understand him at all?
After listening to his words, Qin Weiwei's confidence indeed increased. This was based on her accurate judgment of Yang Qing. However, she still found it hard to be completely at ease. She couldn't help but ask again, Dad! Are you sure he'll come back safely?
Yang Qing, Weiwei! Miao Yi is an adventurer. This is what he's capable of. You must have confidence in him!
After the father and daughter ended their conversation, Yang Qing stood in the courtyard and raised his head to look at the stars. He couldn't help but sigh.
Although his words just now were partly based on his judgment, it was mostly to comfort Qin Weiwei. He also didn't have any confidence in the outcome of Miao Yi's trip, but what else could he do?
The key was that Miao Yi was the kind of person who had no temper at all. He would only ask you when he needed you. He only wanted you to give him the opinion he wanted, or ask you to do something. At other times, he wouldn't even bother to inform you about anything. The initiative would always be in Miao Yi's hands. Who the hell would know what Miao Yi was doing behind the scenes? That was why Yang Qing had no way of making accurate judgments. He could only sigh when he fell into the hands of this kind of person.
Inside the cave in the Purgatory, Yun Aotian and the others had gathered together after learning of the situation from Ji Meili and the others. Their expressions were a little solemn.
"Amitabha!" Cang Lei clasped his hands together and sighed, "I didn't think our ruckus would bring Miao Yi so much trouble."
Situ Xiao said, "No wonder that bastard was so angry back then. He almost f * cked Old Demon Yun's ancestors. Anyone would be angry too."
Mu Fanjun said word by word, "Miao Yi is going to be tough."
After a moment of silence, Ji Huan suddenly laughed and said, "I'm afraid everyone is worrying too much. The Sorcerer's prophecy is right here. That brat coming to meet with us is proof of the prophecy. He will definitely be fine."
They all looked at each other and nodded their heads in silence. They were actually relieved by a bullsh * t prophecy. How much confidence did he have in the Sorcerer?
Huang Fujun who received the news? Y immediately contacted Miao Yi and flipped out. [Didn't you say you weren't going to participate in the assessment? Didn't you say you already made a deal with the Kou family to go to their territory?]
[Miao Yi: Things have changed.]
[Huang Fujun?] [Don't give me that. You were lying to me from the very beginning! Was it fun to lie to me? I want to see how you'll die now!]
[Miao Yi: What does my death have to do with you? Who do you think you are to me?
Huang Fujun?] [Y: Go to hell!]
[Miao Yi: Alright, back to business. Since I'm going to die, can you tell me where the Blood Demon is?]
Right now, he was very worried that something had happened to Ba Jie. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Ba Jie to not have heard about the Celestial Avenue Great Commander's assessment after he had caused such a huge commotion. Yet, Ba Jie had not contacted him even once. He wanted to know the Blood Demon's whereabouts. He wanted to find out if Ba Jie was with the Blood Demon and if something had happened to him.
Huang Fujun? Y still had the same two words: Go to hell!
"The current rules of the Chamber of Commerce in Heaven's Origin Planet's Sky Street are obviously different from the other Chambers of Commerce in the entire Heavenly Court. I think it's very inappropriate."
"Manager Zhou is right. Because of this, every time I return to settle my accounts, I become a joke in the eyes of the other shopkeepers in my family."
"The current Chamber of Commerce's rules are a shackle imposed on us. What right does that Niu Youde have to come up with a rule that he alone can decide?"
"That's right! We should revert to the original rules. I suggest reelecting the Branch Presidents and Presidents of the Chamber of Commerce in the four districts. "
"Agreed!"
"I agree!"
Knowing that Miao Yi had been officially imprisoned and had lost his freedom, making it impossible for him to suddenly return and deal with them, a group of reputable shopkeepers from Heaven's Origin Planet's Sky Street openly gathered at the largest restaurant in Heaven's Origin Planet's Spring Flower Autumn Moon Tavern to discuss matters. They called on the shops in Heaven's Origin Planet to vote for the Chamber of Commerce's President and Councilors, openly declaring that they wanted to revert to the original Chamber of Commerce's rules.
This was to take back the authority of the City-Guarding Palace. They had no choice but to take it back. If the City-Guarding Palace controlled the influence of the other shops in Tianjie, their exclusive management rights in Tianjie would be shaken. Originally, everyone had already decided on the level of the shops and what they could sell in order to maintain their leading position in the industry. In the end, because of Commander Niu's actions, anyone could do whatever they wanted, and their business was diverted. This directly affected their profits.
The Chamber of Commerce's rules were once again in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce. If the other shops did not comply, they could use the Chamber of Commerce's name to suppress them.
Huang Fujun, who was sitting quietly at the side? Y did not say a word.
On the other side, the shopkeeper of the Morality Sundry Goods Store, Spiritual Master Yu Xu, was also silent. Now that he was the head shopkeeper of Heaven's Street, he had the right to sit there. As for people like Yun Zhiqiu, be it in terms of background or business scale, there was no place for her here.
Heaven's Fragrance Tower. Mother Xu, who had just returned from hearing some news, entered Xue Linglong's room. She sat opposite Xue Linglong and nagged for a long time. In the end, she sighed, "The Chamber of Commerce has already gathered all the shops in Heaven's Street to vote for the President. They're trying to reclaim the Chamber of Commerce's authority from the City Guard Palace."
Xue Linglong bit her lip and asked, "Mother, is there really no hope for Commander Niu to come back alive?"
Mother Xu sighed and shook her head, "I'm afraid it's going to be difficult! It's impossible for him to come back alone under those circumstances! What a pity. We saw him climb up the ranks step by step in Heaven's Street. It's a pity that he climbed too fast, and his methods were too ruthless. Going too far is as bad as not going far enough, that's why he brought disaster upon himself! "
Xue Linglong said worriedly, "If Commander Niu doesn't come back, will Commander Xu …"
Mother Xu knew that she was referring to Xu Tangran's kidnapping. She smiled bitterly and said, "He still dares to do such a thing under such circumstances? Now that he can't even protect himself, he wouldn't dare to go against Shopkeeper Huangfu. He's no longer the same as when he held the Celestial Emperor's authority. "
Xu Tangran had indeed calmed down. Once Miao Yi left, he calmed down as well. He temporarily put aside the matter of making a fortune. He couldn't contact Su Li at all. To put it bluntly, Su Li no longer cared about him. Xu Tangran didn't even have a place to vent his anger.
He didn't really care about this matter. He was just angry at the moment. He did run over to Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle from time to time to ask about the situation. Right now, he felt that he was in the same boat as those two, so he wanted to see if they had other plans.
Unfortunately, those two kept their composure for the time being.
