After listening to her, Miao Yi carefully considered the process and nodded slightly, thinking that it was feasible.
Seeing that he had been using the star bell for so long, and Miao Yi's expression was constantly changing, Qin Weiwei tried asking, "Is there anything else?"
Miao Yi chuckled and shook his head. He grabbed her soft hand and placed it on his thigh, gently stroking it. He continued to ring the star bell and replied, "Is there anything else to add?"
Yang Qing: "This is acting on impulse. You can gain a temporary advantage, but it can easily cause trouble for a lifetime! I still advise you not to do this unless you have no other choice. Once you do it, and do it twice in a row, you really have no way out. From then on, you can only move forward. Only by standing in a higher position and obtaining more bargaining chips can you protect yourself. Otherwise, with your current position in the Heaven Court, you are still a little insignificant. As long as there is a chance, someone will be impolite to you. I hope you will reconsider!
I have already become the head of the rebels. Do I still have a way out in the outside world? If I want to retreat, I can only retreat to the small world! "
Miao Yi muttered to himself. His reply was almost the same as what he had said to Yun Zhiqiu: "I was born in the streets. I don't know much about principles. I only know that there is internal strife. How can I focus on defending against external forces? To defend against external forces, we must first stabilize the internal situation! Under my rule, those who offend their superiors will not be forgiven! "
Yang Qing was silent. He could hear the underlying meaning behind Miao Yi's words. This was the bottom line that Miao Yi had drawn, and it was also a show for his subordinates. And he, Yang Qing, was one of Miao Yi's subordinates, so he felt that Miao Yi was trying to warn him.
Since things had come to this, Yang Qing couldn't say anything more. He replied, "I understand. I will wait for your good news."
He felt that it was about time to end this, but Miao Yi didn't let him go. "Since we have already contacted you, there is something I would like to hear your opinion on."
Yang Qing frowned. He didn't know what it was, so he replied, "I am all ears!"
Miao Yi: "I have two old subordinates. When Madam Biyue was promoted, she brought them with her to Dong Hua Headquarters. After that, when I participated in the assessment and gathered at Dong Hua Headquarters, these two people, along with outsiders, humiliated me. I do not intend to let them go. I intend to eliminate them as well. Do you have any better ideas?"
'Old subordinates?' Yang Qing was speechless. It seemed like this fellow really didn't want to let a single one of his superiors off. He then asked, "Sir, can you tell me the details? I'm not clear about the situation here, so I can't make any deductions."
There was nothing to hide. One of the two people Miao Yi wanted to get rid of was his former assistant, Gong Yufei. The other person was of an even lower rank. He was the former Deputy General of the City Palace, and his name was Li Huantang. When Miao Yi was gathered at the East Flower Town Headquarters Manor for the assessment, Gong Yufei was the steward in charge of the manor. Li Huantang, on the other hand, was just a receptionist. Yet, he was even more arrogant than Li Huantang, openly calling out his former superior by his name and shouting at him. Li Huantang had always remembered this grudge.
Unfortunately, these two were under Lady Biyue's command. Even if Lady Biyue went to participate in the exam, he couldn't easily touch them.
That was the situation. Miao Yi explained the situation.
After listening, Yang Qing furrowed his brows and replied, "Sir, I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle. Regardless of the rank of these two, they have been with Lady Biyue for many years. If you really touch these two, it will be no different from slapping Lady Biyue's face. If you can't even protect your own subordinates, how will Lady Biyue rule in the future? Furthermore, Sir is preparing to deal with the matter of the Celestial Street shop. She is your direct superior. At this time, you really shouldn't provoke her. Even if she goes to participate in the exam, she won't easily let others touch her trusted subordinates. Even if she is in the Purgatory, she can still retaliate against Sir. Sir, why don't you let them go for now? You can't lose the bigger picture just because of a small thing. "
Miao Yi: "So you're saying that it's really not good to touch them?"
Yang Qing: "Indeed, it's not good to touch them. Unless you have some way to control Lady Biyue, you shouldn't act rashly."
Miao Yi: "If we're talking about control, I really do have a way to control her at the moment. She is about to go to hell to participate in the second round of the exam. I have a way to determine her exam results."
Yang Qing was taken aback. He didn't expect Miao Yi to have such an ability. However, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Now that the second round of the Celestial Court's exam was no longer a secret, he had also heard from Qin Weiwei that Miao Yi actually had a way to determine the results of the Colorful Lotus Realm's exam. Why did he only get the ninth place?
He temporarily kept this doubt in his heart and replied, "If Sir can really determine her exam results, then this matter will be easy to handle. You can directly make a trade with them and pull those two under your command. When that time comes, however Sir wants to deal with them, it will only take a word from you."
Miao Yi: "I had this idea before and almost brought it up. But after thinking about it, it's just as you said. After all, those two are Lady Biyue's trusted subordinates. If I open my mouth to make this trade, I'm afraid Lady Biyue will fly into a rage out of humiliation. This made me rather hesitant."
Yang Qing smiled slightly and shook the Star Bell to flatter Miao Yi: "Sir, please understand!" Of course, this matter can't be brought up in the form of a trade. If you bring it up first, it will indeed embarrass her. You might even force her to first force you to hand over the method to ensure her exam results. She won't hand them over to you either. This matter needs to be considered for her sake. Before she goes to take the exam, first mention to her about getting those two under your command, but don't mention the matter of ensuring her exam results. "
Miao Yi: "If I don't mention the exam results, then it's even more impossible for her to hand them over to me."
Yang Qing: "But after she enters the Purgatory, find another opportunity to reveal to her that you have a way to ensure her exam results. But you have to be vague and not clear about it. At that time, she will naturally understand what you mean. When that time comes, she will naturally find a way to make those two under your command. For example, having the person in charge of the East Flower Town Manor to personally assign them to you."
Miao Yi understood a little, but put himself in her shoes. If it were him, would he make such a trade with his trusted subordinates? Definitely not. With many doubts in his heart, he replied, "I'm just afraid that she won't be so willing to cooperate. What if she uses someone else to force me to hand over the method to ensure her exam results? Wouldn't that be a complete loss?!"
Yang Qing: "Don't worry, Milord. She will definitely hand them over to Milord. Back then, since she could allow Milord to be humiliated and pretend not to see it, it means that this kind of person is more concerned about self-preservation. This kind of person is used to being more 'tactful'. If it were outside of Hell, she might not agree, but once she's in Hell, the dangers of Hell will imperceptibly give her another kind of pressure. She's a woman after all! She's naturally not hot-blooded. If necessary, you can exaggerate the dangers of Hell to scare her. At that time, nothing is more important than her own survival. She will worry that ordering someone to force you to hand them over will provoke you into doing something desperate to harm her life. Under those circumstances, she will give up any gambler's mentality, so she will definitely be tactful and hand them over to you. In addition, since Milord has such a backup plan, I suggest that Milord also consider this factor when making a move against the shops in Heaven Street. It won't be too late to make a move after she enters Hell and receives a hint from you that you have a way to ensure her exam results. With her there, it's better than nothing. It's better to be safe than sorry. "
Hearing his confirmation, Miao Yi couldn't help but grin when he thought about the so-called 'scaring' Madam Biyue. He really didn't know what Yang Qing's brain was made of, he had so many tricks up his sleeve when it came to tricking people.
Qin Weiwei, who had been observing his expression from the side, saw that he actually laughed and let out a sigh of relief. At first, when she saw that Miao Yi's expression wasn't right, she thought that something had happened between him and her adoptive father. Since he was able to laugh, it meant that he was fine. She then smiled sweetly and asked, "Milord, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing!" Miao Yi reached out an arm and wrapped it around her soft waist. He continued to ring the Star Bell and replied, "There's one more thing. I also want to eliminate the other nine Heaven Street Great Commanders under East Flower Headquarters. Do you have any good ideas?"
At this moment, he felt that it would be a waste if he didn't use it.
Yang Qing was a little dizzy, but he didn't ask any further. Without even thinking, he immediately dissuaded him, "Milord, once the matter with the shops in Heaven Street is exposed, we don't know what kind of unpredictable consequences will occur. It's fine if you just conveniently take care of two people, but how can you continue to escalate the matter!? Those nine people all have the backing of local forces, and they also hold the same position in Heaven Street as you. The matter with Heaven Street has yet to be resolved. If you continue to escalate the matter, it will only cause more problems. I hope that Milord can put this matter aside for now and resolve it first. It won't be too late to find another good opportunity to resolve it in the future. You can't achieve anything in one go. You should take it slow and not be too hasty! "
Filled with words of dissuasion, Miao Yi had no choice but to give up on this idea. Actually, he also knew that it was unrealistic to stir up too much trouble at once, so he just casually mentioned it. He then replied, "Since it won't work, then forget it. I'll leave it at that for now!"
Unexpectedly, Yang Qing hurriedly shouted, "Milord, I have a request!"
Miao Yi, "What is it?"
Yang Qing: "You know the relationship between Qin Xi and Weiwei. It's been a long time since she last saw her daughter, and Qin Xi often misses her. Is it possible for Weiwei to return to the small world so that they can reunite?"
Miao Yi tilted his head to look at Qin Weiwei, who was half-nestled in his arms, and replied, "Are you worried that something will happen here, and want Weiwei to return to the small world to avoid calamity?"
Yang Qing: "Absolutely not! It is true that Qin Xi misses her daughter too much. If Milord thinks that I am trying to avoid calamity, you can have Weiwei come to the small world, and I will head to the large world to be at your beck and call! "
With this reminder, Miao Yi's heart stirred slightly. Now that the situation in the small world had been settled, it was indeed a waste to leave someone like Yang Qing in the small world. If he came to the large world, he could indeed be of help to Miao Yi given the current situation. It might not be possible to let Yang Qing do the fighting and killing, but that guy was very smart. Yang Qing was able to see through many problems that his subordinates couldn't see through, but Yang Qing was able to hit the nail on the head.
But it was precisely because Yang Qing was smart that Miao Yi had always been wary of him. In addition, Yang Qing had a record of rebelling, so he had no choice but to be on guard.
But he didn't say anything definite, and replied, "We'll talk about it later!"
Putting away the Starbell, Miao Yi looked at Qin Weiwei, who was half-nestled in his arms. He nudged his nose towards her, and gently sniffed the fragrance from her hair.
Qin Weiwei lifted her head, and looked at him with bright eyes. Their gazes met, and Qin Weiwei's gaze quickly became a little clingy. She slowly extended her lips, and exhaled a fragrant breath. She took the initiative to gently kiss Miao Yi's lips. A hundred years of waiting, and today, her gentleness blossomed.
There was nothing more to say. Miao Yi immediately carried her in his arms, and strode towards his sleeping quarters. He had been cooped up in the Purgatory for a hundred years. He could finally let loose to his heart's content...
Amidst the flowers and under the moonlight, Yang Qing put away the Starbell. He lifted his head to look at the bright moon that had already shifted, and sighed softly.
Qin Xi gently pulled on his arm, and asked, "How was it?"
"As expected, he still wanted to use force. I didn't want him to do that, but I couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he insisted on taking the risk out of desperation." Shaking his head, his gaze returned to Qin Xi's face, and he smiled bitterly. "They say that one's personality determines one's fate. Perhaps it really is his personality! Sometimes, I don't understand how he was able to live to this day after messing around like that. But reality has proven that he's living well, and no matter where he goes, he's safe and sound. I used to think that he was just lucky, but how can a person's luck always have the upper hand? Now, I don't know if I was wrong, or if he was wrong. "
Qin Xi didn't care about this, and asked, "Did he agree to let Weiwei come back?"
