Gong Lingyu nodded and confirmed for them, "That's right."
Zhangsun Ju and Meng Ru exchanged glances. The latter then asked, "Is there anything else?"
The two girls thought about it carefully, then shook their heads in the end. They couldn't think of anything else.
"You two should go back first." After Meng Ru dismissed the two girls, she turned around and asked, "Could the Divine Masters have seen Master White before?"
Zhangsun Ju replied, "Since she can appear here, it's not surprising that she has seen him before. However, Master White was suppressed in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. I don't know when she saw him. Perhaps she hasn't seen him either. Does Master White have white hair? "
Meng Ru shook her head in confusion …
On the other side, the four Great Generals who had received word from the Celestial Court's spies also persuaded the four Divine Masters to leave, stating that Miao Yi couldn't possibly be a traitor's spy. As for why the four Great Generals wouldn't reveal it …
Since the four Great Generals were so certain that Miao Yi wasn't a spy, the Four Sages didn't say anything either. After all, the authority of the Four Paths wasn't in their hands yet, so they couldn't do as they pleased.
However, after this incident, the four Great Generals couldn't help but feel vexed. They were originally living in harmony, but with Mu Fanjun's instigation, even their in-laws would become enemies. They had truly offended Miao Yi this time, and it was obvious that he wanted his life. It would be strange if they didn't hate him.
Among them, Yun Aotian's feelings were the most complicated. Their junior was only Miao Yi's concubine, while his granddaughter was Miao Yi's legal wife. His actions were too vile, and he might even cause a rift between the couple.
Before he left, Yun Aotian turned around and saw that Miao Yi was still sitting in his seat, not moving an inch. However, the way he was looking at him was unusually cold. It was enough to make one shudder. Yun Aotian immediately transmitted his voice to Miao Yi, "Miao Yi, Sister Qiu doesn't know about this."
Miao Yi coldly stared at him. He didn't reply, nor did he say a word. He was terrifyingly calm.
Seeing this, Yun Aotian could only sigh inwardly, then turn around and leave.
There was no need to say anything else. If they believed it, then so be it. If they didn't believe it, then there was no need to say anything else. This time, it was indeed their side that was in the wrong. But then again, if Mu Fanjun were to do it all over again, he wouldn't have a choice either. He wouldn't be merciful just because he was related to Miao Yi by marriage. For the sake of the Yun family as a whole, he would still fight for what he had to fight for, and he would still do it the same way. People who had reached their level had to face reality. He was already holding his bottom line by not trading his children for riches.
If not for that, the grudges between the Six Sages would have made them mortal enemies a long time ago. Why would they still work together? All those years ago, when they were fighting for supremacy in the small worlds, each of them had lost their loved ones to one another. Just like how Miao Yi had killed Ji Huan's daughter, Ji Meimei, and Ji Huan had wanted to marry her other daughter to Miao Yi.
To put it nicely, those who wished to achieve great things would always have to make sacrifices. To put it bluntly, there were no such thing as eternal friends, only eternal benefits. In other words, there were no such thing as eternal enemies. Only benefits mattered the most. He could only hope that Miao Yi could understand this principle as well. He should let go of what he should, and not be impulsive.
The outsiders had all left. Miao Yi glanced at Jin Man indifferently, and sent the same words back, "Aren't you going to give us an explanation for this?"
Jin Man smiled bitterly, "There's nothing we can do about it. Since they have already exposed your identity as the Great Commander of Heaven Avenue, anyone would suspect that you are an undercover agent sent by the rebels. This is a matter of great importance. We have to figure it out."
Miao Yi said, "Since you already know my other identity, why did you let it go so easily? Aren't you worried that I will betray you?"
Jin Man shook her head, "Someone has already proven that you are not an undercover agent of the rebels, but an undercover agent among the rebels."
What kind of person would testify for him? And who could easily dispel the doubts of the Dominator? Miao Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, "Who testified?"
Jin Man was taken aback. She thought Miao Yi knew who it was, but from what Miao Yi said, it was obvious that Miao Yi didn't know that there was an undercover agent among the rebels. Since that was the case, she could only refuse to answer. "When the Divine Lord truly takes over the authority of the Boundless Dao, you will naturally know. It's not convenient for me to tell you now."
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of her, Miao Yi stood up to send her off. "If there's nothing else, I won't keep you company." This was the first time he spoke so rudely to Jin Man.
Jin Man wanted to say something, but she hesitated. In the end, she couldn't help but ask, "From the perspective of the Divine Lord's other identity, I have heard about the Great Commander of Heaven Avenue, Niu Youde's situation after he escaped. He single-handedly built the Morality Sundry Goods Store, and was able to kill more than three thousand slaves of the rebels and nobles to gain a foothold in Heaven Avenue. He was also able to slaughter his way through an army of a million soldiers. There is no doubt about the Divine Lord's ability. You can be said to be brave and resourceful.
Since she found out that this Miao Yi in front of her was the Great Commander of Heaven Avenue, Niu Youde, who had caused such a stir among the rebels with his Golden Lotus cultivation, she saw him in a new light. She realized that this Divine Lord wasn't as useless as she thought.
She wasn't the only one. Beside her, Shi Yunbian, Gongsun Lidao, and Ao Tie were also looking at Miao Yi in a different light. To be able to deal with so many rebels as a spy, one had to be brave and resourceful to do so. They also realized that they had underestimated this Divine Lord, and their feelings toward him had changed.
What could Miao Yi say? Say that he had been making preparations to escape back to the Small Realm after causing trouble in the Heavenly Court, and that he had never truly gained a foothold in Heaven Avenue? Say that if it weren't for his good luck, he would have died many times over? Say that he had been living in fear because he was worried that his identity would be exposed?
Only he knew the truth. In fact, he also understood that he had offended too many people in the Heavenly Court. Those who were truly capable wouldn't always force themselves into a dead end. Yun Zhiqiu had already told him countless times that he was too impulsive and resourceful. Those who were truly resourceful wouldn't do things the way he did.
Now that there was someone whom the rebels trusted to say that he was a spy in the Heavenly Court, it was as good as helping him break through his desperate situation. He immediately opened up a smooth path for him to escape from danger, and cleared away all the obstacles along the way. This proved that it had come at the right time, and some things were actually easier to handle.
He was a little worried that the rebels were plotting something. But at this point, he had no other way out. He could only take advantage of the situation to save his own life. He sighed and replied, "You know my identity with the rebels. I have to go back to the rebels. I still need to prepare for the future so that I can coordinate with the army of the Six Paths. I can't split myself into two. I can't take care of both sides at the same time, so I can only give up on one side. Unfortunately, it's not convenient for me to reveal my identity as a spy among the rebels. I was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble, so I didn't tell you all about it."
Shi Yunbian nodded and said, "I see. No wonder Divine Lord didn't cultivate the Boundless Art. Otherwise, it would be too easy for Divine Lord to expose your identity with the rebels."
'It's great that you can help me understand!' Miao Yi thanked him in his heart, but said, "Since the matter has already been made clear, I have nothing to hide. I must return to the rebels' side. I am really not suitable for the position of Holy Master here. General, why don't I hand over this Holy Master position to you?"
Shi Yunbian, Gongsun Lidao, and Ao Tie looked at each other. Jin Man's face darkened. "How can the position of the Holy Lord be given away casually like a child's play? If we really do that, won't everyone covet the position in the future? Since the Divine Lord has already accepted everyone's worship, it can't be changed so easily! "
In reality, without a certain person's permission, Jin Man wouldn't dare to take over the position on her own. The life and death of a group of people were in the hands of a certain person. Otherwise, Miao Yi and the others wouldn't have had the chance to become the Divine Lord of the Six Paths.
If they didn't let him go, then it would be troublesome. Miao Yi was secretly anxious. Before he knew who made the proof, he didn't dare to stay here for long. He was worried that it was a trap. Only when he was free from the shackles of the rebels' power could he feel at ease. He hurriedly said, "I still have something important to do outside. The rebel organization's assessment is about to end. I have to go back in time."
Jin Man and the others looked at each other. What a mess this was.
In the end, Miao Yi, who was eager to get away, suggested a compromise. "How about this? I'll hold the position of Divine Lord, and the actual matters will continue to be managed by the General. We'll talk about the rest later. What do you think?"
There was no other way. Since Miao Yi couldn't take care of everything here, there was no point in forcing him to stay. Besides, there were indeed a lot of people who didn't like Miao Yi. Since Miao Yi took the initiative to suggest it, they could only reluctantly decline.
After the matter was settled, before they took their leave, Miao Yi mentioned, "On the surface, I'm here to participate in the assessment. If I can bring back some results, it'll be easier for me to work on the rebels' side." His meaning was clear, and there was no need to say more.
Jin Man was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Rest assured, Divine Lord. I will make the arrangements. I won't let you return empty-handed."
"That's good." Miao Yi was happy.
After watching them leave, the smile on Miao Yi's face gradually froze, replaced by a cold expression. He took out the Star Bell and contacted Qian'Er and Xue'Er.
At this time, Qian'Er and Xue'Er were accompanying Yun Zhiqiu to a private room in the Cloud Beauty Restaurant to receive a guest. A noble madam from the Governor's Manor had come to buy some jewelry, and Yun Zhiqiu was personally accompanying her.
When Qian 'Er received Miao Yi's message, she was a little surprised. Ever since Miao Yi married Yun Zhiqiu, he rarely contacted them directly. Most of the time, he would ask Yun Zhiqiu to make arrangements for him. It was rare for him to contact Qian' Er through Yun Zhiqiu.
She had been with Miao Yi for more than a year or two. She didn't need to explain anything to him to understand that Miao Yi must have some inconvenient matters that he needed to avoid Madam.
Qian'Er took the opportunity to shoot Snow a meaningful glance before retreating from the private room. She found a secluded spot to observe the surroundings for a moment before taking out her Starbell and replying: Milord, are you alright?
Miao Yi: Is Madam with you?
Qian 'Er: Madam is entertaining guests in a private room.
Miao Yi: Does Madam know that I am trying to contact you?
Qian 'Er: I haven't disturbed Madam yet. Do you have any instructions?
