However, Marquis Tianyuan kept his word. He did "try his best" to make it up to his wife for a few days. Of course, there was also the fact that time apart makes the heart grow fonder.
Lady Biyue, who had a knot in her heart, had to force a smile and flatter him. She didn't resent Marquis Tianyuan for not taking care of her like before. Thinking that she might be able to see her daughter soon, she couldn't describe the unbearable feeling in her heart. Now, she couldn't wait to go back to Donghua Headquarter Office, but she didn't dare to show anything in front of Marquis Tianyuan.
However, a few days later, Haiyuan Ke sent her a message again. It wasn't the news of her meeting with her daughter, but a piece of unfortunate news.
Her daughter, Hai Pingxin, was missing. Haiyuan Ke told her that the people who picked up her daughter had lost contact with her daughter. They didn't know what happened.
Lady Biyue panicked a little. In terms of feelings, neither Marquis Tianyuan nor Haiyuan Ke were as important as her daughter. She had raised her since she was a child. She had been by her side for more than a hundred years. Naturally, Marquis Tianyuan and Haiyuan Ke, who only had feelings for each other, couldn't compare.
Leaving Inferno Land was just a choice she made in her life. She wanted a better life, but it didn't mean she could ignore her daughter's life.
She was angry at Haiyuan Ke, which was rare. She asked him why he did this, but Haiyuan Ke couldn't give an explanation. He could only say that he was still in contact.
She hid in the manor and cried. She started to hate herself. She hated herself for leaving her daughter behind. If she didn't leave, her daughter wouldn't be in this situation.
After they separated, Hai Pingxin had tried to contact her many times, but she hardened her heart and didn't respond. This time, she took out Star Bell to contact her daughter, but there was no response. She was sure that her daughter was still alive.
This made her very worried that her daughter might have fallen into the hands of some bad people. She was most afraid that her daughter would fall into the hands of the Celestial Court.
She didn't dare to stay in the manor anymore. She was afraid that she couldn't control her emotions and Marquis Tianyuan would notice something was wrong. She said that she had to go back to Donghua Headquarter Office to prepare for the handover. She had already decided not to stay in the headquarters of Donghua County. Marquis Tianyuan also promised to try his best to help her find a new place.
For the time being, she was still the chief mayor of Donghua Town Manor. The positions of the more than 800 main towns had to be considered for at least a few months. Those who passed the assessment had to first choose where to go, and those who had conflicting choices had to be rearranged. Those with powerful backgrounds inevitably had to get their hands on some of the better positions. A little struggle was inevitable, so Lady Biyue still had to stay in her original position for a while.
At the same time, the registration process for the Celestial Avenue's Domain Chiefs had already begun. The candidates needed to have reached the Lotus Transformation realm before they could participate, which was much higher than the Domain Chiefs of the local forces who were only at the Rainbow Lotus realm. After all, the highest rank in Celestial Avenue was only a Governor, unlike the local forces who still had Marquises and Star Lords. Moreover, the Celestial Avenue's Domain Chiefs were indeed much more beneficial than the local Domain Chiefs.
When Lady Biyue was about to leave the Marquis's Office, she heard an even more shocking news from Marquis Tianyuan.
The Buddha of the Western Paradise had invited the four Heavenly Kings and eleven Grand Marshals to attend. Then, the Celestial Court's Supervising Envoy of the Left, Sima Wentian, personally led a large number of people to arrest more than 80 Celestial Avenue's Domain Chiefs who had collectively resigned. Even their families and servants were not spared. In total, thousands of people were arrested.
The reason for the arrest was that the families of more than 80 Celestial Avenue's Domain Chiefs had come forward to testify. They presented solid evidence to prove that those Celestial Avenue's Domain Chiefs had done illegal things in secret. In reality, no one in that position had not done anything illegal. The Sky Emperor was furious, and thousands of people were all sent to Hell to serve their sentences.
With such a big thing happening, Lady Biyue had to suspend her plans to go back. It was obvious that this matter had already involved the struggle of the higher-ups. Marquis Tianyuan was in the faction, so he could not stay out of it. Once something happened to Marquis Tianyuan, Lady Biyue would not be able to escape either. She was already in a state of panic, so she did not have the mood to return to Donghua Town Manor.
The gloomy Marquis Tianyuan paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back. He said emotionally, "This is a conspiracy! This is His Majesty's conspiracy! Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that the Celestial Avenue's Domain Chiefs who collectively resigned got into trouble? Those witnesses are clearly the subordinates of the Celestial Court's Supervising Right Messenger Sima Wentian. They are the spies that he arranged in each family. "
Lady Biyue sighed softly. As long as one was not blind, they could see that those people's actions had angered the Sky Emperor. The Sky Emperor's intention was very clear. It was fine if you didn't participate in the examination, but if you all dared to give me a hard time, then I would send all your families to hell. This was the consequence of going against me!
Lady Biyue said worriedly, "Is the Buddhist Lord cooperating with His Majesty's actions?"
Marquis Tianyuan said in a deep voice, "Is there a need to say it? Before His Majesty finishes dealing with the matters here, the four Heavenly Kings and the eleven marshals will not be able to come back from the Elysium easily. This is the Buddhist Lord's statement. He is willing to fall out with Heavenly Kings and the others to support His Majesty! "
Lady Biyue said, "Will the Buddhist Lord do something to the Heavenly Kings and the marshals?"
Marquis Tianyuan said, "It won't be to that extent. If he really does make a move, the Heavenly Kings and the others are not to be trifled with. The Buddhist Lord will also have to pay a big price. However, the Heavenly Kings and the marshals won't dare to act rashly. If they really want to fight, how can the Buddhist Lord not make a move? "
Lady Biyue asked, "Then what do we do now?"
Marquis Tianyuan let out a long breath, "What else can we do? We can only wait and see!"
A few days later, even more shocking news came. A group of bandits suddenly appeared, and Sima Wentian's subordinates, who were the witnesses, were all massacred. Some of their families were almost completely wiped out, and only a few were lucky enough to escape. The bandits were practically openly committing murder. And among the bandits who were killed, wanted fugitives were found. The Heavenly Court was furious!
When the news came, Lady Biyue, who was sitting in the pavilion with her husband, gasped. She finally saw the power of some people. What a fast counterattack!
Marquis Tianyuan put away the star bell and sneered. Lady Biyue asked, "What's the situation?"
Marquis Tianyuan sneered, "What else can it be? The higher-ups ordered to block all the major Star Gates and investigate. I also received the decree from the higher-ups."
Lady Biyue tried to ask, "What are you going to do?"
"What else can I do? The higher-ups gave the decree. Of course, we have to investigate. " Marquis Tianyuan stood up and walked out of the pavilion with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the moon and said sarcastically, "Do we still need to investigate? As long as they aren't idiots, they will know who did it. How can I investigate? If the higher-ups are destroyed and someone else takes over, they will definitely want to replace themselves. What does it have to do with me? This slap in the face is so loud! Now that they know the higher-ups are going to investigate, how can they investigate? Isn't His Majesty very powerful? If you have the ability, go find out who the bandits are. My ability is limited, so is the ability of others. I'm afraid they can't find anything! Everyone just needs to put on a show and give an explanation. "
Lady Biyue, who followed him out, was shocked. She said, "Won't His Majesty let Gao Guan investigate?"
"What a joke!" Marquis Tianyuan said with disdain, "How many people are there in the Ministry of Supervision? Without the cooperation of the people below, even if Gao Guan is powerful, it is useless. Even if he finds the bandits, so what? The people below will let the bandits pass. The world is so big. Where can Gao Guan go to catch people? Lady, you don't have to worry anymore. You can go back to Donghua Headquarter and wait for the news. "
Lady Biyue confirmed, "Everything is fine now?"
Marquis Tianyuan nodded and said, "His Majesty gave those big bosses a hard time and showed his tough attitude. Those big bosses immediately fought back and also showed their tough attitude. They want His Majesty to see that without everyone's support, his words are nothing. It is useless to separate them from the people below! They are also warning His Majesty that if His Majesty goes too far, they will have to fight to the death. No one will have an easy time. Lady, do you believe that if he is pushed too far, someone will release all the bandits from hell to add to the mess? "
Lady Biyue's heart skipped a beat. She said, "Won't His Majesty send his trusted people to guard hell?"
Marquis Tianyuan smiled and said, "Can ordinary people block hell? If His Majesty really sends his trusted people to guard hell, then he will have even less people to use. Besides, which one of those big bosses isn't the trusted people who followed His Majesty to conquer the world? It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to rule it! "
Lady Biyue said, "Both sides have already reached this stage. Can it really be fine?"
Marquis Tianyuan said, "What else can we do? As long as everyone takes a step back, as long as His Majesty doesn't make things worse, we will still be the king and his subjects. When we meet again, it will be like nothing happened. After all, it is not good for anyone to mess up the world. This time, His Majesty is wrong. He shouldn't have killed those generals for his own face. The people under him are already like this. If those big bosses don't react fiercely, where will their prestige be? Who will listen to them in the future? Sigh! At the end of the day, His Majesty still won. The collective resignation of more than eighty generals couldn't stop His Majesty's determination to reorganize Heaven's Street. After such a thing happened, the big bosses had to give His Majesty a way out. They could only let the reorganization continue. The big bosses only managed to save some face. They didn't get anything out of it. In the end, it is His Majesty and Lord Buddha who are stronger! It is a pity that the eighty generals, the witnesses, and their families have all become the victims of the struggle! "
Lady Biyue also sighed …
Tianyuan Planet, City Guard Palace. Miao Yi returned to the palace and dismissed his attendants. He ordered that no one was allowed to enter the harem without his permission.
After Yan Xiu and the others left, Miao Yi immediately entered the silent cultivation room. He summoned Hai Pingxin and placed her on the bed.
Only now did he take a good look at Hai Pingxin's appearance. He realized that this woman truly had the best features of Hai Yuanke and Lady Biyue. She was even more beautiful than Lady Biyue. However, she lacked the charm of a ripe peach that made people want to take a bite out of her.
He placed his hand on Hai Pingxin's forehead and invoked his arts to remove the simple restriction on her body.
