He still couldn't confirm whether Fei Hong was the target of tonight's opening of the pocket. After all, Fei Hong had been passive since her appearance. She was unwilling to be forced, and was forced. Under his and Yan Xiu's close observation, they didn't discover that Fei Hong had done anything to poison Miao Yi.
But it was also because of this that if Fei Hong was really the person pushed by the hidden force, then the other party's ability was truly shocking. It was simply pervasive.
He had just loosened his grip here, and was still wondering what method the other party would use to get close to Miao Yi. He was waiting to see …
According to his previous speculations, the person should have an official background, and would then enter the City-Guarding Palace through some tricks. Yang Qing also wanted to see how the other party would intervene in this situation. Who knew that a prostitute, Fei Hong, would appear out of nowhere. This was really out of Yang Qing's expectations.
It wasn't that Fei Hong couldn't enter the City-Guarding Palace. On the contrary, it was the series of operations that shocked him.
The key to the problem was Fei Hong. Fei Hong had been in Heaven Street for thousands of years, and had always been clean. They had just made a small opening, and in order not to alarm the other party, they didn't even make it too big. Even Yang Qing was troubled by the other party's approach. Who knew that the other party would immediately push Fei Hong out.
With Fei Hong's talent and fame, it was perfect for her to intervene in this kind of situation, and it wouldn't easily arouse suspicion.
What did this mean? It meant that the other party definitely didn't just prepare Fei Hong in order to get close to Miao Yi. They had been waiting for an opportunity to act, and acted according to the situation. There were many options in their hands, but the City-Guarding Palace didn't give the other party a chance to act. Now that the banquet was over, they casually threw out Fei Hong.
How could Yang Qing's heart not be in a state of turmoil? With such a great reputation, Soaring Popularity was something that most people would not dare to touch. Yet it was actually a tool that the other party could wield with ease, seizing the opportunity of tonight's banquet to get close to Miao Yi!
And under his careful observation, he couldn't see any abnormalities on Fei Hong.
She was forced to offer the wine, she was forced to serve the wine, and she was even forced to be hugged by Miao Yi. Fei Hong had been so 'innocent' from start to finish, making it impossible for anyone to suspect her. In other words, Fei Hong didn't reveal any flaws. She wasn't forced to get close to Miao Yi like this. Otherwise, how could there be no abnormalities when she was forced to do so? Was a normal woman forced to use lust? The act of seduction could not be performed so perfectly. Some abnormal emotions would be revealed. However, the song was good, the music was good, and the emotions were not affected!
What did this mean? This showed that Fei Hong was a chess piece prepared by some forces long ago. She was already mentally prepared for this. Granny Lü took her in as her goddaughter just to ensure that this chess piece would not be destroyed by unrelated people. That was why she created such a sweet and fragrant bait that was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and poetry. Once the opportunity was right, it would be effective!
The bait that they had spent so much effort to prepare was actually just one of the options. One could only imagine how terrifying the power of the mastermind was!
What showed the mastermind's power even more was the fact that Miao Yi had no idea how he had been poisoned, right under everyone's noses. Even now, he still couldn't figure out what was going on!
Of course, Yang Qing felt it was strange that Miao Yi knew he was poisoned. Logically, Miao Yi didn't even know how he was poisoned. Even now, he still couldn't figure it out!
Of course, Yang Qing also felt it was strange that Miao Yi knew he was poisoned. Logically, without knowing how he was poisoned, such a large amount of lust should have entered his body without a sound. There was no way to detect it. This was related to the characteristics of the seven emotions and six desires. However, not only did Miao Yi notice it, he even seemed to have neutralized it!
It could be said that if Fei Hong was really the target tonight, the reason why the opponent could break the stalemate tonight was because Miao Yi had discovered that he had been poisoned. Otherwise, with Fei Hong's beauty, coupled with the intoxication of wine and women on the scene, any man would be able to act on impulse. Even Miao Yi himself wouldn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
Yang Qing connected his thoughts from Fei Hong to Granny Lü, who was in charge of the Tribute Garden. Granny Lü didn't have such power, but the Heavenly Palace behind her did! Granny Lü, who was in charge of the Celestial Court's Tribute Garden, was unlikely to be used by other forces. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been used by the Heavenly Palace for so many years!
There might be many people with such power in the Heavenly Palace, but from the few fights he had with Miao Yi, there was no one who could have such power, be so experienced, and be so undetected! Yang Qing didn't even think about it. He immediately pointed to a target … the Celestial Court's Left Division of Overseers!
This also confirmed his previous guess that the person who wanted to approach Miao Yi was related to the Celestial Court. It was very likely that they wanted to monitor Miao Yi. However, he didn't expect it to be a core member of the Celestial Court, the Left Division of Overseers directly under the Heavenly Palace!
How could Yang Qing's heart not be shaken by the emergence of such a powerful mastermind? Why would the Left Division of Overseers want to monitor Miao Yi?
Some things were too far apart to be understood. Things that were far beyond one's reach would forever be mysterious and unfathomable!
Could it be that they had discovered Miao Yi's secret that needed to be monitored? But that didn't seem very likely. With the Left Division of Overseers' power, if they really discovered something, even if they wanted to monitor him, there was no need for the Left Division of Overseers to go through so much trouble to deal with a mere Miao Yi. If it didn't work, they would have captured Miao Yi and interrogated him a long time ago. With their methods, wouldn't they be able to get Miao Yi to spill the truth?
Of course, all of this was based on his own guesses. Whether his guess was correct or not still depended on Fei Hong. He had to see if another target would appear before Miao Yi was' poisoned 'and returned to the City-Guard Palace. If there was another target targeting Lust, then his previous guesses would be overturned.
Yang Qing was also very tired. Smart people usually thought a lot, so they were tired. Not only was his mind filled with random thoughts, but he also continued to observe the reactions of his surroundings.
Yan Xiu still had his hands in his sleeves, standing there quietly, as if whatever Miao Yi did was right. In reality, after following Miao Yi for so many years, Miao Yi had never mistreated him. Following him all the way until today, Yan Xiu only had the word 'trust' in Miao Yi.
Below, Xu Tangran was a little taken aback. In his eyes, Miao Yi was not a perverted person. Today, he seemed to be a little abrupt. Little did he know that to the eyes spying in the dark, Miao Yi's abrupt action today was the right thing to do. Not being abrupt would be a bad thing.
Sitting across from him, Murong Xinghua would occasionally glance at Miao Yi, who was cuddling Fei Hong and feeding her wine. Occasionally, she would furrow her brows. Whether it was for other reasons or from a woman's point of view, she didn't have a good impression of Miao Yi's actions tonight.
As the 'main characters' of tonight's celebration banquet, Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle, who were sitting at the head of the table below the stairs, occasionally raised their cups and exchanged glances. Both of them knew beforehand that tonight was a trap to lure Miao Yi into it. Hence, they weren't surprised by anything Miao Yi did tonight. The only thing they were surprised about was Fei Hong.
Up until now, the two of them couldn't see anything wrong with Fei Hong.
To the two of them, and even to the four Hosts, their interests were tied to Miao Yi's. If anything happened to Miao Yi, they would be in trouble as well. Not to mention anything else, just the robbery of Apricot Garden alone was a crime punishable by death.
And in their eyes, Miao Yi, this' Old Fifth ', was becoming more and more unfathomable. His abilities were so great that they were a little apprehensive. They knew the tests of the Purgatory the best. Miao Yi didn't have to spend much effort at all. He used some tricks that they couldn't understand to successfully pass the test. They were worried that without any background, they wouldn't be able to replace the Great Commander's position. Miao Yi had already made arrangements for them in Heaven's Mandate Galaxy. They were also worried that after doing so many 'bad things' with Miao Yi, would there be any trouble after they left. Miao Yi said that there wouldn't be any trouble and that he had already made arrangements for them. He only asked them to watch the mouths of their subordinates.
This was equivalent to deciding the positions of the four Great Commanders of Heaven's Avenue with a flip of his hand. The current situation was something that even many of the Celestial Court's nobles would find difficult to handle. Yet, 'Old Fifth' calmly settled it with a wave of his hand. How could they not be shocked?
On the attic, Madam Xu watched the commotion below. She was both angry and expectant. She was angry because Miao Yi looked down on Xue Linglong in the past. She was expectant because she hoped that Miao Yi would go one step further and harm Fei Hong.
Actually, she wasn't the only one with the same idea. The other brothels and theatrical troupes all had the same idea … People of the same trade were enemies!
Madam Feng clenched her fists tightly. Looking at the situation below, she was extremely worried. She was afraid that Miao Yi would harm her top girl. She was her money tree. It wouldn't be easy to cultivate another Fei Hong. Fei Hong's talent could only be said to be good back then. After her beauty became more and more outstanding, even she couldn't understand it anymore. Suddenly, she found a few masters to learn from and improved rapidly in many aspects. Her progress in zither, chess, calligraphy, poetry, singing, dancing, and so on could only be described as amazing. Where else could she find such a good money tree? Naturally, she wanted to grab hold of it and not let go. Once she was full, she would sell it to a good master once and for all!
On this night, some people were destined to have their own thoughts.
When the banquet ended, there were no other targets appearing. Yang Qing sighed in his heart. The outcome he didn't want to see the most had happened. He walked to Miao Yi's side and transmitted his voice, saying, "The Celestial Court's Left Division of the Overseers!"
Miao Yi's heart trembled. He asked, "Are you sure?"
Yang Qing replied, "Most likely!"
Now was not the time to talk about such a terrifying force. Miao Yi asked, "What should we do?"
Yang Qing replied, "We can only continue to go with the flow. The Left Division of the Overseers is not something we can go against. We can only pretend that we don't know anything. Once they see through us, we will anger them out of humiliation … If the Left Division of the Overseers can't even place someone in a mere Celestial Street's City Guard Palace, they have already sacrificed enough patience. I'm afraid the Left Division of the Overseers will not allow their reputation to be tarnished in our hands. In any case, they will not let us see through them no matter what!"
Miao Yi understood the meaning behind his words. They could not bear the consequences.
