There should be another test!
Miao Yi, who had seen the inner regions of hell, had already made this judgment. He turned to look at the person who shouted, then at the others' reactions. He guessed that the rewards from the Celestial Court must have motivated many people. As the saying goes, brave men always rise to the occasion!
Looking around, Xiahou Longcheng couldn't stop smiling when he saw that he was finally back in the Celestial Court's territory. He would definitely be able to show his face in the Xiahou family when he returned. It was probably the first time in his life that he had taken the position of Heaven's Avenue Great Commander without relying on the family's support.
He turned to Miao Yi and invited enthusiastically, "Brother Niu, do you want to come play at my place?"
"There will be opportunities in the future. I have to hurry back now!" Miao Yi said, but his gaze fell on Zhang Hanfang and the others who were sneaking around.
These nine people actually managed to keep their positions as Heaven's Avenue Great Commanders. When he was looking at the inscriptions on the tablet, he noticed that all nine of them had the same ranking, within eight thousand.
Zhang Hanfang and the others panicked when they saw that Miao Yi had his eyes on them. They were worried that someone would harm them on the way back, so they quickly formed a group to return with them. At the same time, they rang the Star Bell to call for help.
"That's true. Everyone has to go back to report. We'll talk about it later. I'll go first. Let's go!" Xiahou Longcheng waved his hand and called Fan Yufei and the others to leave. He couldn't wait to go back to the Xiahou family to show off.
Fan Yufei and the others cupped their fists at Miao Yi, "Brother Niu, we'll meet again!"
"We'll meet again!" Miao Yi cupped his fists and sent them off.
After watching them leave, Miao Yi looked back. He didn't know where Zhang Hanfang and the others had gone. There were people flying everywhere in space.
Miao Yi had a deep impression of the humiliation he suffered all those years ago. It wasn't something that could be forgotten just like that. There was a grudge that needed to be settled. He didn't think that they or the forces behind them would let him go just because he was generous enough to let them go. Since that was the case, this matter had to be settled sooner or later. It was a pity that he missed the chance to kill them in hell. He couldn't do anything to them for now. Similarly, he managed to keep his position as Heaven's Avenue Great Commander and was still in the Heaven's Avenue system. The local forces wouldn't dare to do anything to him. He looked around, then summoned Charcoal and quickly shot into the depths of space …
"Madam, Madam, the examination is over. I heard that Sir got the ninth place. He should be on his way back."
Snow, who had just returned from her investigation, hurriedly ran into the Blessed Abode. She ran into the room and reported the good news to Yun Zhiqiu, who was soaking in his bathtub.
"It should take some time." Yun Zhiqiu, whose skin was as fair as snow, smiled as she leaned against the wall of the tub. The water just so happened to submerge her breasts, and the sight of the rippling waves under the water was enough to make one's blood boil. Qian 'Er was smiling beside her as she helped her comb her long hair.
Snow hesitated for a moment, then cautiously said, "Madam, I heard that Milord was punished during the examination. He was stripped of his rewards, and he was even fined a hundred years' worth of salary. He was demoted from a Purple Armored General to a Six Division General."
Qian'Er turned around and said with a smile, "There's no need for you to say it. Madam already knows. Master has already contacted Madam."
"…" Snow was rendered speechless.
Yun Zhiqiu was in a good mood. She smiled and said, "I don't care about that little reward. As long as Milord can return alive, that's more important than anything else. I can finally put my mind at ease this time. The sudden loss of contact from the front really scared me. I guess there must be a formation at the end of the examination that cut off communication with the star bell. Oh, right. Clean up the house when you get back. "
"Yes!" The two ladies replied in unison.
In the Chamber of Commerce, President Zhou Ran sat in the seat of honor in silence.
The twenty-nine qualified shopkeepers were all silent. News of Miao Yi successfully passing the examination and returning had already reached them. This was not good news for them.
Master Yuxu's expression was calm, and it was hard to tell whether he was good or bad.
'Huang Fujun?' Y was a little distracted as he sat there, thinking about how he would settle the score with Miao Yi when he returned. Not only did Miao Yi lie to him that he wouldn't participate in the examination, but the most detestable thing was that Miao Yi had purposely not contacted him for the past hundred years. How infuriating! This matter was not over yet!
"Why did he come back alive? He even came in ninth place. He should be executed for ruining the Celestial Court's reputation!"
The one sighing was Shopkeeper Tian Fenghao, who had taken over the Seven Emotions Shop. He had heard the news as well. Niu Youde had caused a ruckus in the Heavenly Star Lord's residence. The Mistress was defeated?? Yi Kun Heng Hao Liang? What? Di Mang Hao? Qiang? Hui Fu Yi Shu
Shopkeeper Hu Yuyuan knocked on the tea table. "It's not a matter of whether he dies or not. It's a matter of him keeping his position as Celestial Avenue's Grand Commander and coming back. It's a matter of whether he will settle the score with us."
Tian Fenghao said, "He killed so many people in hell, and many nobles' children died at his hands. How dare he come back and act so arrogantly? Besides, it's obvious. He kept quiet before he left, which means he's already given in. "
Someone sighed and said, "The key is that we've spread too many rumors. No matter who it was, I don't believe he won't be angry. If he decides to take revenge, the Celestial Avenue's military power is in his hands. It's not like he hasn't done anything before. If we're not afraid, why are we still sitting here discussing?"
"Actually, this is easy to handle. It all depends on whether or not Shopkeeper Zhou is willing to step in."
"What do you mean?"
"The entire Celestial Avenue's system is in the Empress' hands. If House Xiahou steps in, Niu Youde won't dare do anything rash, unless he doesn't want to live in Celestial Avenue anymore!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Shopkeeper Zhou, you're the leader that everyone elected. You have to think of something! If that guy does something rash, no one will have a good time. "
A group of people began to wave their hands in agreement with Zhou Ran, who was sitting at the head of the table.
Zhou Ran looked at the rowdy crowd. He could tell that they had been waiting for him for a long time. They had probably planned for him to ask for House Xiahou's help. Zhou Ran understood that everyone thought that Niu Youde had admitted his mistake and that there was nothing to be afraid of. He understood in his heart that everyone had thought that Niu Youde had admitted his mistake and that there was nothing to be afraid of. Furthermore, the chances of Niu Youde coming back alive from Hell were very small. However, Niu Youde had really come back alive. Everyone's hearts began to race again. It wouldn't be a big deal if Niu Youde came back alive, but the problem was that Niu Youde had killed so many nobles in the Purgatory. They were really worried that Niu Youde wouldn't be afraid of an itch anymore. After all, that madman had a record of severing thousands of heads.
Huang Fujun, who had been silent all this while? Y looked on coldly from the sidelines, secretly amused. He did not expect the dead man to have such a strong deterrent force. He had not even returned, but he had already scared a bunch of people. Weren't these guys quite bold when they were causing trouble in the past?
"Naturally, I'm responsible for this, but for now, I suggest that everyone restrain themselves. Let's see how Niu Youde reacts when he returns. If he doesn't want to cause trouble, it won't be good if we force him to. After all, the power of Sky Street is in his hands, and we're still in a passive position." Zhou Ran sighed and agreed. He was the leader, so he had to be the first to bear the responsibility. He had no choice but to step up!
In the Eastern District Commander's Residence, Fu Qing, Invincible Falcon, and Xu Tangran were drinking and chatting merrily in a pavilion.
"Let me, let me!" Xu Tangran's face was full of smiles. He blocked Invincible Falcon's hand and personally poured wine for the two. At the same time, he shook his head and lamented, "Why is our commander so powerful? Just like he said when he left, he would definitely come back alive. Look, not only did he come back alive, but he also kept his commander's position. Ninth place! To be able to get ninth place out of more than 1.8 million people, that's an amazing feat. Unfortunately, there's a flaw in this, and he was demoted. But that's not important. What's important is that our commander still has the final say in this territory! "
Fu Qing was in a good mood as well. He raised his glass and said, "Let's drink! We won't go home until we're drunk!"
"Yes, yes, yes. We won't go home until we're drunk!" Xu Tangran raised his glass and smiled from ear to ear. He was finally able to put down a huge stone in his heart. If it were someone else taking the position of Sky Street's commander, he would not be able to keep his wealth.
Just as they clinked their glasses, there was a sudden cry from outside. "Commander Murong, please allow me to make a report!"
The three who raised their glasses turned around and saw Murong Xinghua barging in in a long dress. The guard at the door followed behind her and tried to persuade her.
Seeing the three of them drinking happily in the pavilion, Murong Xinghua stopped in his tracks. His eyes were a little complicated, but he immediately smiled. "The three commanders are really in a good mood. Why didn't you call me to drink? Do you think I'm an outsider?"
The three of them looked at each other speechlessly. They really didn't expect Murong Xinghua to barge in. Fu Qing waved at the guard and said, "It's fine, you may leave."
The guard left and the three of them stood up one after another. They chuckled and invited Murong Xinghua to take a seat …
Heaven Valley Palace. The Empress' attendant, Empress Xiahou Longcheng, was in front. She was leading the downcast Xiahou Longcheng, who didn't dare to look around.
One had to know that this was the Imperial Harem of the Heavenly Court. The people who lived here were all women. They were all concubines of the Emperor. Basically, they were all rare beauties. Normal men couldn't enter this place, and those who entered didn't dare to look around.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Empress Xiahou Chengyu, who was handling official business behind a long table. Xiahou Longcheng immediately walked forward and knelt down. He kowtowed and said, "Subordinate Xiahou Longcheng greets the Empress."
In reality, his very sincere kneeling had already made the Empress look up and reveal a smile. She smiled and said, "Alright, there are no outsiders here. There's no need to be so courteous. Get up."
Xiahou Longcheng then raised his head and laughed. As he got up, he said with a silly smile, "Aunt, I haven't seen you in a long time. I missed you so much."
He was still on the way back when he received the notice, ordering him to rush here. His heart was filled with a sour feeling. His aunt, whom he rarely got to see, actually wanted to see him alone. It could be seen that having a good test result in his hands was very beneficial. When he returned home, he could hold his head high and be a man.
The Heavenly Empress put down the jade disc in her hand and got up to walk around the long table. She dragged her gorgeous dress and circled Xiahou Longcheng. She patted Xiahou Longcheng's broad back and nodded slightly. "Long 'er has really grown up. He's no longer the rash and foolish boy from before. He actually managed to get ninth place out of the million strong army. He's really promising."
Xiahou Longcheng immediately puffed out his chest and grinned. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "It's not a good result, just ninth. It's just so-so. I wanted to get first to make Aunt proud, but the Hell of Hell is really dangerous. I tried my best. Please don't blame me, Aunt!"
PS: Last month's update wasn't good. This month, we're preparing for a big explosion. It's the beginning of the month. Shouldn't everyone use a guaranteed monthly ticket to encourage themselves? Recommendation tickets without monthly tickets are fine too.
