PS: Supplemental October, 10,900 monthly tickets, plus updates, are being given.
Inside the private room, Yun Zhiqiu said to the two of them, "He's already sent someone."
The man didn't say anything, and the woman continued flipping through the jewelry catalog, asking Yun Zhiqiu for guidance as if nothing had happened.
Soon, Yun Zhiqiu's starbell on the table responded. After listening to it, she took out her transcendent artifact.
The woman immediately warned, "What are you trying to do?"
Yun Zhiqiu said, "The person he sent is here, but he didn't come through the front door. I'm going to open the protective array and let him in."
The woman was hesitant, but the man didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement. Only then did Yun Zhiqiu activate her transcendent artifact to open the protective array, then close it again.
Soon, footsteps could be heard. Miao Yi pushed aside the bead curtain and barged in.
The woman turned around. Yun Zhiqiu and the others also turned to look. The man still had his back to them, not moving an inch.
Miao Yi stopped in his tracks and swept his gaze across the room. Seeing that everything was fine for now, he felt relieved and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. I'm Niu Youde!"
'Niu Youde?' The woman was shocked and stood up. The man was also surprised. He quickly turned around and looked at Miao Yi, then slowly asked, "You're Niu Youde?"
Miao Yi smiled. "That's right! I've been waiting for you for a long time. "
The man glanced at Yun Zhiqiu, and the woman did the same. She sneered, "I told you not to do anything, and you still dared to do it. You're quite bold. You must be tired of living."
Miao Yi quickly stopped her. "That's my wife. If anything happens to them, I guarantee that your entire family will be buried with her. I don't think I need to explain myself!"
"Your wife?" The woman was stunned. The man was also surprised. 'Was the information wrong?'
"This isn't a good place to talk. Come with me!" Miao Yi said, then turned to push aside the bead curtain and walked out.
The man followed with his hands behind his back. He was quite bold.
The woman, on the other hand, tilted her head and gestured for Yun Zhiqiu and the others to walk in front. If anything happened, she would take their lives.
The group arrived at the backyard and went upstairs. They entered Yun Zhiqiu's room and entered the Blessed Enclave.
After entering the pavilion and taking a seat, Miao Yi gestured for the couple to take a seat. He then turned around and instructed, "Our esteemed guests have arrived. Qian'Er, Xue'Er, serve tea!"
At this moment, the man sat down, while the woman stood respectfully at the side.
The man quickly scanned the surroundings of the Paradise. This was a little different from his original plan. His original plan was to get in touch with Miao Yi and have Miao Yi temporarily deactivate the defensive array of the City-Guarding Palace. Then, he would burrow into the ground and enter the City-Guarding Palace to talk with Miao Yi face to face.
Miao Yi looked at the couple's reaction, then smiled at the man and said, "Looks like you're the one in charge here. Come, have some tea!" He extended his hand and invited the man over.
The man said, "There's no need for tea, you're used to using poison!"
"Hehe!" Miao Yi shook his head and smiled. "I had no choice but to protect myself. I managed to get myself a false reputation. I apologize for troubling the esteemed guest."
The man said, "I want to confirm whether or not you are the main character."
Miao Yi smiled. "Has no one ever described my appearance to you before?"
The man said, "There are too many petty tricks. I have to be on my guard."
"Hehe!" Miao Yi took out his Grand Commander's official jade disk and pushed it over. He then took out a blank jade disk and imprinted his transcendence seal on it, then pushed it over for the man to verify. "Please examine it. It's definitely the real deal!"
It was very difficult to counterfeit the official jade disk of the Celestial Court. One needed to have one in order to get one down from above. Furthermore, there were also the transcendence seals of each rank's superior. For example, Miao Yi's jade disk had the transcendence seals of the Celestial Avenue's Governor, Domain Commander, Main Town, and finally, Miao Yi's own transcendence seal. There was a restriction on the disk, and altering the transcendence seal without permission would cause the jade disk to self-destruct.
After verifying that there were no mistakes, the man pushed the disk back to Miao Yi. "Aren't you afraid of being targeted when you leave the palace like this?"
Miao Yi took a sip of tea. "You're saying it the other way around. What do I have to be afraid of? You're the one who should be afraid. Don't worry, no one outside knows I'm here."
"No one knows you're here?" The man stared at the calm Miao Yi for a while, then scoffed, "You're quite bold. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Miao Yi replied, "My life isn't important. Your life is more important than mine. Don't try to scare me. Who are you?"
The man's gaze flickered. "Didn't you say you've been waiting for me for a long time? Don't tell me you don't know why I'm here? "He was wondering if there was any evidence in the storage bangle.
Miao Yi replied, "I know very well whether you know or not. I'm only talking to the person in question. I can't just randomly come and test the waters, and then I'll hand everything over to you, right?"
Up until now, the two of them hadn't mentioned anything about the assassination, nor did they mention the assassin's relic. The man didn't want to reveal his identity before confirming if there was any evidence in the storage bangle. If Miao Yi didn't have any evidence on hand, and his identity was exposed, it would be as good as a confession. On the other hand, Miao Yi didn't want to speak carelessly before confirming the other party's identity. What if someone with ulterior motives impersonated the mastermind to trick him? This was his life-saving item. If he carelessly handed it over, he would be courting death.
The man said, "So what if you know my true identity? How can you be sure that I'm the person in question and not just here to test the waters?"
Miao Yi replied, "The item in my hand can naturally prove whether you're the person in question or not. Isn't that what you're here for?"
The man said, "If you can't prove that the item in your hand is related to me, then you should know the consequences of knowing my identity."
Miao Yi replied, "Stop beating around the bush. I will give you a satisfactory answer. I won't joke around with my life."
The man flipped his hand and placed an extremely rare rainbow jade token on the table. He then took out a jade disk and imprinted it with his transcendence seal, stacked them together, and pushed them over to Miao Yi for him to verify.
As soon as the rainbow jade token appeared, Miao Yi, Yun Zhiqiu, and the others couldn't help but feel their eyelids twitch. This was probably an official jade disk that only high-ranking officials in the imperial court were qualified to use. At the very least, only people of the Marquis's rank and above would be able to use it. It went without saying that the other party's true identity was obvious.
Miao Yi took the official jade token and verified it with the jade disk. Then, he smiled, put down the item, and pushed it back to the man. "So it really is you!"
Yun Zhiqiu, Qian'Er, and Xue'Er exchanged glances. They were all curious about the other party's identity, but Miao Yi didn't say anything.
The man put away the item and asked, "Where's the explanation I wanted?"
Miao Yi picked up his teacup and blew on it. "Zhou Fengan?! Siyao Xue Yuan Huai? Miao Yi Xia was astonished.
The man's lips twitched. He didn't expect Miao Yi to have already locked onto him. It seemed like Zhou Fengan's belongings weren't as simple as just the Star Bell. The man wasn't afraid that the tea was poisoned. He took a sip and asked, "Speak! Tell me your conditions. What do you want in exchange for handing over everything? "
Miao Yi replied, "I believe I don't need to explain the consequences of handing over the item. Once I do, I will be silenced!"
The man narrowed his eyes. "You want to use it to threaten me?"
Miao Yi replied, "Not really. I won't keep the item in my hands either. Otherwise, I'll just be asking for trouble. If anything happens to me, the item will immediately fall into the Heavenly Court's hands. Since I dared to come here, I've already made preparations! "
The man replied, "Since I've come here personally, this matter must come to an end! If I don't feel at ease, I guarantee that you'll die before me! "
Miao Yi replied, "It's precisely because I know this that I don't dare to threaten you, Milord. You have great power and authority. Even if you fall from power, you'll still be a centipede. There will definitely be people working for you below. When that happens, I'm afraid it won't just be a mere Zhou Fengan coming to take my life."
The man scoffed. "It's good that you understand. Speak. What price do you want me to pay to let this matter go?"
They were both smart men. They knew that the other party wouldn't hand over the item, so there was no need to beat around the bush.
Miao Yi replied, "Milord, you don't have to pay any price. I just want to make friends with you. As long as you don't mind, even if the Heavenly Court investigates this matter, it won't have anything to do with you."
'Make friends?' The man stared at him for a while, then took out two Star Bells. After imprinting his transcendence seal on them, he placed them on the table.
Miao Yi chuckled and imprinted his own transcendence seal on the two Star Bells. Then, he took one and shook it slightly. When he saw that the other had a reaction, he put it away.
The man also kept the other Star Bell in his hand. He glanced at Yun Zhiqiu, Qian'Er, and Xue'Er behind Miao Yi and asked, "Are they reliable?"
Miao Yi replied, "They're more reliable than Milord's trusted aides. Also, there's something I find strange. The fact that Milord came all the way here means that you understand the gravity of the situation. You don't seem like someone who would send assassins to assassinate me. Siyao? Training Basket Properly, Full of Vigor
'Don't wash your dirty linen in public!' The man clearly had no intention of talking about this. He stood up and walked away with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he said, "Niu Youde, remember what you said."
He watched as the two of them left the Blessed Paradise just like that. He didn't even have any leverage over Miao Yi, and he just left like that? Yun Zhiqiu was shocked. "They don't even have a single safeguard. Are they not afraid that you'll expose this matter to the Heavenly Court? I thought they were going to take me hostage. "
Miao Yi smiled bitterly. "Someone who doesn't care about anything is the scariest! It means that he doesn't care about us at all. His personal appearance is the greatest threat and warning. I won't gain anything from betraying him! "
Yun Zhiqiu was silent. Then, he asked, "? Siyao is going to teach the emperor a lesson? Qiang? Yong Manjun? "
Miao Yi nodded slowly. "That's him."
Right after dealing with a secret visitor, another public visitor arrived at noon the next day. The Heavenly Court's Supervising Envoy of the Right, Gao Guan, descended from the sky.
Gao Guan maintained his cold and unsmiling demeanor. His black cloak trailed behind him as he led two rows of men straight into the city.
Someone at the city gates immediately contacted Miao Yi. After receiving the notification, Miao Yi quickly activated the sealing formation and led his men to the steps outside the palace gates to welcome the envoy.
"Your humble servant welcomes Envoy of the Right!" Miao Yi was the first to greet him.
"Welcome Envoy of the Right!" Everyone greeted him in unison. Every single one of them became cautious, and their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Gao Guan. It seemed that Envoy of the Right's arrival had caused the temperature of the noon sun to drop significantly.
