In the gentle village, after a few rounds of entanglement, we will meet again!
After staying in the City Guard Palace for two days, Qin Weiwei reluctantly went back. Miao Yi also wanted to be intoxicated by the beauty of her beauty and never wake up, but he had walked step by step to where he was today. There were many things that were beyond his control, and he couldn't rest even if he wanted to. Putting aside the fact that so many people were counting on him, just his identity as the leader of the rebels was like a sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any time.
After sending Qin Weiwei off, he collected his thoughts and wandered alone in the rear palace courtyard for a long time before taking out the Star Bell to contact Lady Biyue.
In the East Flower Manor, Madam Biyue was making arrangements for her departure when she received Miao Yi's message. She thought he had some advice regarding the Purgatory.
He replied expectantly: What's up?
Miao Yi: Milord, I do have something to ask of you! I have not been able to fill in the vacancies under me. I would like to transfer two capable subordinates from Milord's side. I hope that Milord can fulfill my request!
Lady Biyue asked: Who do you want?
Miao Yi: Gong Yufei and Li Huantang! Don't worry, once they arrive, this lowly one will definitely not mistreat the two of them.
Lady Biyue was startled. She didn't know if she should be angry or amused at the same time. How could she not know the little grudge between Miao Yi and the two of them? How was he asking for someone to make up for the gap? He clearly wanted their lives. He really wouldn't 'mistreat' them.
He actually targeted his own trusted subordinates. Did he still not put him in his eyes? Almost without thinking, Lady Biyue directly refused, "I have other uses for them. You should think of another way to fill up the vacancy on your side!" If it really can't be done, I can draft up a draft and report the specific vacancy, and then I'll think of a way to make up for it.
As expected, Miao Yi silently tucked the Star Bell away and didn't bother her any further...
Outside the Guardian Palace, a yellow-faced man appeared at the bottom of the stairs outside the palace. As soon as he was stopped by the guards, Bao Lian, who had been pacing back and forth outside the palace, saw the situation. He took out Miao Yi's decree and ordered the guards to let him pass. Bao Lian led the man into the palace and headed straight for the harem.
"Mister, he's here," Bao Lian announced from the door of the main hall.
"You may leave first." Miao Yi dismissed her.
The yellow-faced man stepped into the hall and lifted his hand to remove the mask covering his face, revealing his true appearance. It was none other than the Reverend Priest who had been waiting outside the city for a hundred years …
That night, another expressionless man appeared outside the Guardian Palace. It was Bao Lian who led the man in.
In the back of the palace, a man took off his mask. It was Big Beard Zhongli Kuai.
"I can't thank you enough. Thank you!" Miao Yi chuckled as he cupped his fists and bowed deeply. He then turned around and extended his hand in invitation, "I've already prepared the dishes. Please!"
Zhongli Kuai blew his beard and glared at Niu Youde. He strode into the pavilion and sat down casually. "Niu Youde, you like a married woman, there's no need to humiliate me, is there?"
In order to help Miao Yi protect a woman, he had stubbornly waited here for a hundred years, and even implicated the seniors of his sect. It would be strange if he didn't feel angry.
Miao Yi chuckled as he picked up the pot and personally poured wine for him. Then, he raised his cup and said, "I'll drink first as a token of my apology!"
He drained his cup in one gulp. Seeing that Zhongli Kuai didn't appreciate his gesture, Miao Yi smiled again. He took out a storage ring and placed it on the table, then pushed it towards Zhongli Kuai. "Big Beard, take a look and see if what's inside is to your liking."
Zhongli Kuai gave him a sidelong glance and asked indifferently, "What is it?"
Miao Yi pursed his lips and said, "Take a look and you'll know."
Zhongli Kuai grabbed the ring and invoked his transcendence energy to examine it. He was shocked to find that there were a thousand stalks of Glorious Star immortal herbs inside. The stalks were huge, and it was obvious how old they were. Some of them even bore fruits. Judging by the medicinal effects, just one stalk would be enough to save a few lives on the brink of death. This was a valuable item.
These Glorious Star immortal herbs were naturally obtained by Miao Yi from the Land of Purgatory. In truth, Miao Yi had only taken a small portion of them. There were even more Glorious Star immortal herbs on the secondary stars and auxiliary stars that were shrouded by the 'Unlucky Beauties', and all of them went to the rebels of the Six Paths. Lord White's arrangements had been a great help to the rebels of the Six Paths, and all of them were life-saving items. The rebels of the Six Paths had inevitably suffered casualties when they were trapped in that place, fighting against the Heavenly Court. Thus, they were in dire need of this panacea, and it could be considered a greeting gift from the new Divine Lord of the Six Paths.
This was Zhongli Kuai's first time seeing a Glorious Star immortal herb bearing fruit. He lifted his head to look at Miao Yi and asked, "Are these all for me?"
"They're all for you." Smiling, Miao Yi nodded, then added, "Also, I'd like to ask you for a small favor."
Zhongli Kuai blew at his beard. "Don't tell me it's to help you protect another woman?"
Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "I think it shouldn't be a problem to take out some of the items here and hire one or two experts, right?"
Zhongli Kuai was stunned. "An expert? What kind of expert? "
"An expert who can protect me!" Miao Yi pushed the wine cup to Zhongli Kuai's side and said sternly, "I've offended too many people. I recently received news that someone is trying to harm me. Someone at my level has never come into contact with any experts, but your Skytraversing Palace is different. You have your own connections, and I'm sure you're acquainted with some people with profound transcendence energy. That's why I'd like to ask you to help me find some reliable and tight-lipped experts to help me get through this crisis. "
In the end, he was still preparing to make a move on all the major shops. In order to confirm his control over this territory, this bastard was really willing to pay any price!
"Someone is trying to harm you …" Zhongli Kuai muttered to himself. He furrowed his brows, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a while, under Miao Yi's expectant gaze, he slowly replied, "Experts? I have a few with me right now. Perhaps they can help you."
"You have experts with you?" Miao Yi asked in surprise, "What kind of experts?"
Zhongli Kuai replied, "I have two Rainbow Lotus Seventh and Eighth Grade experts, and one Lotus Transformation Fifth Grade expert. Are they enough to protect you?"
"…" There's even a Lotus Transformation Fifth Grade expert with boundless transcendence energy? Miao Yi's mouth was so wide open that an egg could fit inside. He stood up and walked to Zhongli Kuai's side, examining him from head to toe. "Big Beard, are you making fun of me? You have an expert with boundless transcendence energy by your side? Are you for real? "
Zhongli Kuai raised his cup and drained it in one gulp. He then slammed the cup down and said, "What's so impossible about that? My sect's Elder just happened to be passing by with my two Senior Uncles. They're currently resting at Sky Street. If you need help, I'll go discuss it with them."
'What a coincidence!' Miao Yi was speechless, but he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "I thought your Skytraversing Palace doesn't participate in the Celestial Court's matters? Will your Senior Masters agree to it? "
"Of course we don't participate in the Celestial Court's matters. Even if we do, we won't admit to it. You wouldn't go so far as to blabber about it, would you?"
'Not admitting to it even if you participated in it is a good idea!' Miao Yi's eyes brightened. "Of course, of course. I won't blabber about it. Wouldn't I be looking for trouble if I did?"
"Our Skytraversing Palace also needs cultivation resources. If the conditions are right, we naturally won't miss out on it." Zhongli Kuai pointed at the storage ring on the table. "We should keep the goodies to ourselves! Instead of letting others take them, we might as well earn them ourselves. In the future, as long as you don't expose my Skytraversing Palace, remember to contact me in the future! "
"…" Miao Yi was shocked. His impression of the Skytraversing Palace had been completely overturned by Zhongli Kuai's words. The Skytraversing Palace looked like an upright organization, but he didn't expect them to do such shady things behind the scenes. Indeed, all the crows in the world were black. Miao Yi quickly nodded and said, "No problem! No problem! "
After sending Zhongli Kuai off, Miao Yi began to feel uneasy again as he paced around the garden. He didn't know if it was a good or bad thing for the Skytraversing Palace to be doing such shady things behind the scenes. Would the Skytraversing Palace kill him to silence him later?
In the tavern.
Smack! The storage ring that Miao Yi had just given to Zhongli Kuai was smashed on his face.
Zhongli Kuai caught the ring in his hand and touched the part of his face that was smashed. With a bitter expression, he saw an old man pacing back and forth angrily with his hands behind his back.
The old man was the disguised Skytraversing Palace Elder named Qian Luo.
Beside him, the two men shook their heads and sighed with a sorrowful look on their faces. They were Zhongli Kuai's Senior Uncles, Meng Zigao and Jing An.
Meng Zigao seemed to be mumbling to himself as he sighed, "That Niu Youde is really rich! He tossed out so many Glorious Star immortal herbs like tossing cabbages. "
Jing An shook his head and sighed, "Everyone says that the Grand Commander of the Celestial Avenue is rich. It seems like it's true!"
"You two, stop making sarcastic remarks here. If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll pull out your tongues!" Elder Qian Luo abruptly stopped in his tracks and turned around. He pointed at the two men and scolded them until they shrunk their heads back. Then, he pointed at Zhongli Kuai and scolded, "Who told you to take his money? We're not an escort company that sells our lives for money! "
Zhongli Kuai sighed, "The problem is that he thinks the escort company's mouth isn't reliable. Besides, the escort company wouldn't dare to get involved in the Celestial Court's business. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in the position to take on this job. Besides …"
"How dare you talk back?" Qian Luo interrupted, his finger almost poking Zhongli Kuai's forehead, "Sooner or later, the reputation of the Skyline Palace will be ruined by you, a traitorous disciple! Now, return the things to him immediately! "
Meng Zigao and Jing An looked at each other helplessly.
Zhongli Kuai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Elder, I don't have a choice! He needs protection this time. I don't know what the sect is thinking. They won't let me reveal the truth or take his things. What reason do I have to push you to him to protect him? Our Skyline Palace's experts inexplicably get involved in the Celestial Court's business to protect him. This goes against our Skyline Palace's principles. Do you think they'll believe us? "
Qian Luo frowned and continued pacing back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back. He didn't speak, obviously thinking that Zhongli Kuai's words made sense.
Meng Zigao clenched his fist and coughed dryly, "Senior Uncle Qian, I think Zhongli Kuai's idea is not bad. Many problems are easily solved. If he needs our help in the future, we can just ask him to pay us directly. This way, both of us can save a lot of trouble. Besides, that guy is rich. Tsk tsk! He gave us so many Glorious Star Immortal Herbs in one go. The medicinal effects of these herbs must be extraordinary. I wonder where he got them. Ouch … "
Qian Luo suddenly twisted Jiang Yi's ear with lightning speed and lifted it up. "You only think about money, money, money. You only care about money, don't you? Do you still want the Skyline Palace's face? "
Meng Zigao, who was standing on his tiptoes, tried to defend himself. "He won't lose the Skyline Palace's face. He won't dare to spread this matter around. Otherwise, he will be looking for trouble."
