"You didn't hear wrong." Jin Man nodded to confirm.
Miao Yi pointed at his own nose and continued asking, "You want me to be the new Boundless Divine Lord?"
Jin Man nodded again. "Yes!"
Miao Yi was once again dumbfounded. He asked blankly, "Why?"
Jin Man said, "First of all, you have the cultivation technique of the previous Sacred Master in your hands. You are the successor of the Sacred Master's cultivation technique, so of course you have to take over the position of the Sacred Master. Secondly, it's because you saved me and I want to repay you for saving my life. "
Miao Yi muttered to himself. He looked at the two of them suspiciously and asked, "Just because of this?"
Jin Man: "Aren't the Holy Leader's successor and his savior enough?"
What was enough? Miao Yi wouldn't believe such a good thing even if he was beaten to death. Without any hesitation, he was certain that there was a conspiracy behind all this. He laughed dryly and waved his hand, saying, "That's not appropriate. My cultivation is still shallow, and my abilities are limited. I cannot shoulder such a heavy responsibility. General's transcendence energy is boundless, and the hearts of the people are in your favor. You should continue to oversee the situation. I, Miao Yi, am willing to listen to General's orders at any time!"
It was a lie that he was willing to listen to orders, but it was true that he wanted to stay alive.
Jin Man and Shi Yunbian cursed in their hearts. Do you really think that we are willing to respect you as our master? If it wasn't for the fact that you had no choice, would you have such a good thing? You, on the other hand, it's such a good thing that others can't even beg for, yet you're still trying so hard.
In Jin Man's eyes, Miao Yi was a shameless and despicable person. She didn't have a good impression of Miao Yi, so she couldn't be bothered to follow him anymore. Playing with aluminum? Benzene oil? Routed the Skeleton Island? Hui Fu 4 Su Cuo I Am Disabled School? Send Jun to the Illusory Imperial Court? Still? Yi Qiang? Should I change to a Dai Po urn of rancid and hissing food? Cong Fanyi Skirt? Yemrahi? Is he trying to play the fool? O'Qiang Auntie Flashing Shrugging? Grubs, steamed tombs, bumping into wood and retreating? Playing tricks? The next step? Sieve? Feng Lin? Do you know how to flatter the delicacies? Wan Wei Bana is about to howl with jealousy! Egg Omen? Zigzag
"General, please wait!" Miao Yi panicked and quickly waved his hand to stop him.
"Oh!" Jin Man turned around and said indifferently, "You've made a decision so quickly?"
Decision my ass! Miao Yi cursed furiously in his heart. 'You call this not forcing me? Locked in a coffin for a hundred thousand years? What kind of joke was that? If not for the fact that there was no other way, who would be willing to suffer such suffering? Besides, who could say for sure what would happen in the future? Who knew if they would let him live after being locked up for 100,000 years?
He smiled apologetically as he cupped his fists and said, "Since General Lord thinks highly of me, I dare not disobey. Besides, to me, becoming the Immeasurable Dao's Divine Master is something I don't even dare to think about. It's just that Miao Yi's cultivation base is shallow, his abilities are limited, and he has no experience. I don't know how he is qualified to lead the Immeasurable Dao. I'm really afraid that he might end up doing something bad out of good intentions, and the others might not support him either."
In other words, it wasn't that he didn't want to be the Boundless Divine Lord. In fact, he really wanted to be the Boundless Divine Lord, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to do it well.
Despicable! Jin Man sneered in her heart.
She was clearly the one who had forced Miao Yi into a corner and then admitted defeat. Yet now, she thought that Miao Yi was a despicable person who swayed according to the wind. Miao Yi reckoned that even if he had a hundred mouths, he still wouldn't be able to prove his innocence. It was her fault for already having a bad first impression of him. First impressions were really important!
Jin Man said, "Don't worry about this. We will naturally help you from the side."
"That's good. That's good. I'm relieved to have General Lord's support." Miao Yi beamed with joy as he chuckled. He then asked cautiously, "What should I do after succeeding the position of Divine Master?"
He had to probe the other party's background and see what they were trying to achieve by making him the Divine Master. In any case, he didn't believe in any reason like repaying a debt of gratitude.
Jin Man said, "Of course, you will do what a Divine Master should do. First, you will think of a way to avenge the previous Divine Master, wipe out the grudges of our brothers, overthrow Lord Qing and Lord Buddha, and lead everyone out of hell. This is the duty of the successor to obtain the support of the brothers."
'Damn it, where did I get that much ability from?' Miao Yi felt helpless. He was prepared to take things one step at a time and look for an opportunity to escape. He put on a smile and said, "I understand, I understand."
The matter was settled for the time being. Jin Man and Shi Yunbian then left. The two of them still had to make preparations for Miao Yi succeeding the position of Divine Master. It was inevitable that they would first have to convince the other generals.
As he watched the two of them leave, Miao Yi focused his attention on Shi Yunbian, who hadn't uttered a single word since the beginning. He then turned to look at the guards who were still staring at him. He couldn't even contact Yun Aotian and the others. In the end, he could only pace back and forth with his hands behind his back, wondering why they made him a Divine Master.
They didn't even know his background, yet they made him their Divine Master. What kind of joke was this? There was a conspiracy! There was definitely a conspiracy here!
Could it be that Yun Aotian and the others leaked my identity to protect themselves, and a bunch of traitors wanted me to go back and be a spy? But that wasn't enough to make me a Divine Master!
It wasn't easy to find a courtyard to stay in in such an environment. Miao Yi paced back and forth in the courtyard. He couldn't understand it no matter how hard he thought about it.
"Stop right there!"
Before Miao Yi could figure out what was going on, a voice came from the courtyard's entrance. He turned around and saw the guards at the entrance stopping two women in yellow robes with indifferent expressions on their faces. One was slightly taller than the other, and the other was slightly shorter. Both of them were quite good-looking, but their cold demeanors gave off a sense of distance.
However, Miao Yi was already used to it. The people here all seemed to have a deadpan expression on their faces, as though they were owed money.
One of the women flashed a jade disk to the guard, and coldly said, "This is the Commander's order."
The guard checked the order and let them pass. The two women entered the courtyard and immediately walked towards Miao Yi. One of them even took out a rope. Combined with her deadpan expression, it looked as though she wanted to help him hang himself.
Taking a step back, Miao Yi immediately asked the people watching him, "What's the meaning of this?"
The people watching him didn't say a word, but the two women immediately walked over. Each of them pulled on one of Miao Yi's arms, and used the rope to measure his body.
Being on high alert, Miao Yi roughly understood that they were measuring his body size.
"What are you doing?" Miao Yi was surprised.
The two women didn't say a word. After they were done measuring him, they left without even saying a word. Miao Yi was baffled.
The next day, the two women came again. Miao Yi watched them go in and out, and couldn't be bothered to ask any questions. It was pointless anyway.
However, he couldn't stay out of this either. When the two women who had been busying themselves in his room found him again, they immediately forced him back into the room and slammed the door shut.
Miao Yi entered the room and stared suspiciously at the bathtub of hot water. The two women immediately got to work and helped him undress.
"What are you doing?" Miao Yi cried out in surprise as he was being pulled and rejected.
"Take a bath and change your clothes. The Generals will come and pay their respects later!" The slightly taller woman finally spoke.
"I don't need your help. I'll do it myself. I'll do it myself." Miao Yi clutched his chest, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The two women seemed to be itching to do it. They walked to the two ends of the bathtub and turned their backs to him. However, they still urged him, "Please hurry up. The Divine Master's ascension is imminent. Don't let the Generals wait too long."
'Sigh! What's going on? ' Miao Yi sighed in his heart. Seeing that the two women had no intention of leaving, he could only slowly take off his clothes and soak himself in the water …
The room door opened again. Miao Yi walked out accompanied by the two women. It was as if he had changed into a different person. He wore an incomparably gorgeous golden robe embroidered with mountains and seas, the sun, the moon, and the stars. His hair was tied into a bun with a golden ribbon hanging down, making him look noble and otherworldly.
According to the two women, this was what the previous Divine Master wore. They said it was some Universal Robe.
As he walked down the stairs, Miao Yi lifted his sleeves from time to time, or lowered his head to take a look at his clothes. The size was just right. He somewhat understood why they were measuring him yesterday. It was probably to make this robe in a hurry.
He was brought all the way to the rear courtyard of the main hall of the cliff. Jin Man, who had a tall and noble figure and was dressed in a long golden dress, was waiting in the courtyard.
"General!" Miao Yi happily cupped his fists and was very polite.
Jin Man looked at him from head to toe and walked around him.
Miao Yi looked at her clothes, then looked at his own. He muttered in his heart, 'Why do I feel like the two of them are dressed differently?'
Jin Man nodded slightly as she examined him. "You do look a little like the Divine Master. It's just that your aura is lacking." She walked up to Miao Yi and said seriously, "The Generals are waiting in the main hall for an audience. However, this coincides with the rebel bandit's assessment. In order to prevent the rebel bandit from taking the opportunity to make changes, people are needed everywhere. It is inconvenient to summon everyone back at this time, so most of them are not here yet. Also, you know our situation. It is not suitable for us to make a big coronation ceremony for you. So, everything is simple. We do not respect the wishes of the new Divine Master. It will not be too late to make up for it after Lord Qing and Lord Buddha are overthrown. "
Her words sounded nice, but it was actually disrespectful to the Great Divine Master Miao Yi.
First of all, Jin Man did not have a good impression of Miao Yi. She did not want Miao Yi to be too glorious. If it wasn't for a certain someone who took millions of heads as a warning, which was too strong a deterrent to them and crushed their weakness, she would probably be the first to kill Miao Yi. Secondly, the subordinates were very dissatisfied with Miao Yi becoming the Divine Master. If it wasn't for Jin Man and the others suppressing, helping, and trying their best to persuade them, Miao Yi would have been beaten to death. A nameless nobody dared to touch the Divine Master position and command the masses. What a joke!
Under such circumstances, it was not suitable to provoke the subordinates any further. It was indeed not suitable for a grand ceremony. This time, it was actually just a formality. Miao Yi should not think about wielding great power as soon as he ascended.
'Wait until Lord Qing and Lord Buddha are overthrown? Dream on! ' Miao Yi mocked in his heart. He had no interest in being a Divine Master in name. He was purely forced to do this. He smiled indifferently and said, "I understand. I understand."
Jin Man extended her hand and invited him in. "Come with me!"
She personally led Miao Yi into the back hall. As soon as the two yellow-robed women entered the back hall, they took up positions on either side of the entrance to the main hall.
The moment Miao Yi followed Jin Man into the quaint main hall from the left, the twenty or so men and women in different attire waiting in the main hall immediately fixed their gazes on Miao Yi. Miao Yi had seen some of them before, and some of them were new to him. Most of them had hostile gazes.
