In this kind of evil-doing-evil-doing-evil-doing-evil-doing-evil-doing-evil-doing-evil-doing-evil-doing-evil-doing-evil-doing-evil-doing-evil-doing-evil-doing-evil-doing-evil-doer. Miao Yi stared at the dishes and chuckled, "It's not poisoned, is it?"
Butterfly Flower said playfully, "How could he poison an acquaintance, don't you think?"
Miao Yi was taken aback. Could this woman really have recognized him? However, he quickly concealed the surprise in his heart. He smiled and said, "Lady Boss must be joking. This is our first meeting. How did we become acquaintances? If that is the case, then Lady Boss has too many acquaintances."
Butterfly Butterfly had been observing Miao Yi closely the entire time. She caught a fleeting glimpse of something strange in his expression, and felt even more confident now. She lifted her hand and removed the disguise on her face. She tilted her head to the left and right, as though giving Miao Yi a chance to admire her. She blinked her watery eyes and asked, "Do you really not recognize him?"
Miao Yi chuckled. "Since Lady Boss wants to make friends, it's not too late to get to know her now."
Butterfly Flower said, "At this point, are you still not prepared to show your true colors?"
Miao Yi could tell that the other party only suspected that they knew each other, and didn't recognize who he was at all. He calmly said, "Lady Boss, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
Butterfly Flower: "Friend or foe, just show it out. There are some things that I can't control here. It's not easy for an inn to establish a foothold here, so I can't easily destroy it. If it really doesn't work, I can only make the hidden danger disappear."
This was already a threat, and the meaning behind it was obvious. 'If you don't reveal your true identity, then it doesn't mean whether you're a friend or a foe. For safety's sake, she had no choice but to get rid of Miao Yi and the others. This was a showdown.
At this point, Miao Yi was speechless. He believed that since the Kou family had set up a checkpoint here, they definitely had the ability to make him disappear. He was silent for a moment. In any case, if there were any accidents, there would be an explanation. He had met someone when he participated in the examination, and now he had been recognized. Moreover, he did not want to die serving the Heavenly Court.
Thus, Miao Yi sighed and lifted his hand to take off the mask on his face, revealing his true appearance. He smiled bitterly and said, "Butterfly Flower. I didn't think that we would meet here. It must be fate. "
Hua Die was taken aback when she saw his true appearance. Because Miao Yi had participated in the assessment and helped the Kou Family obtain a good ranking, she had a rather deep impression of him. He had even been called over by the Kou Clan for questioning because of this fellow, so he naturally recognized him immediately. He exclaimed in surprise, "Niu Youde? Aren't you the Left Supervisor? Why are you here? "
Miao Yi shook his head and said, "No comment."
Butterfly Flower frowned and asked again, "How did you know I was here? How did you find me? The Kou family told you? "
Miao Yi sighed, "How could I have known you were here? It was purely a coincidence. If I had known you were here, I wouldn't have gone upstairs to take a look. Who would have thought that I would coincidentally bump into you? By the way, I've changed my appearance. How did you know that I'm someone you know? "There was something that he didn't say. We don't seem to know each other very well.
Coincidence? Butterfly Butterfly was a little doubtful if there really was such a coincidence. She replied, "Your reaction wasn't right, so I naturally came to test you. I didn't expect it to be you. Why don't you stay in the Left Supervisor's office? Why are you sneaking around here? "
Miao Yi's reply was still the same, "No comment! I say, Butterfly Flower, you won't really let a hidden danger like me disappear right? "
Butterfly Flower said, "Your Left Supervisor's man came to the Kou family's inn. Who knows what the Heavenly Court is planning? Do you think I would dare to make a move on your Left Supervisor's man?"
Miao Yi thought about it and agreed with her. If he didn't know who he was, he might have killed him. Now that his identity was made clear, the Kou family wouldn't dare to do anything to the Left Supervisor's man. After all, they didn't know why he was here.
Butterfly Flower continued to ask, "What are you doing here?"
Miao Yi sighed, "Don't ask. I already said I have no comment. "
Butterfly Flower fell into deep thought. She could roughly tell that he was here on official business. Since he was the Left Supervisor, then it wouldn't be good for her to interfere. She nodded and stood up. She gestured to the food on the table and said, "Don't worry. The food and wine aren't poisoned. Enjoy as much as you want. I will explain things to the waiter. If there's anything, you can look for me directly. Oh right, I'm not called Butterfly Flower anymore. My name is Yan Ruyu. Don't call me Butterfly Flower in front of others. "
She didn't ask Miao Yi not to reveal her background and identity. Now that the Left Supervisor had made a move, there were some things she couldn't stop.
Miao Yi smiled and asked, "Is Butterfly Flower your real name, or Yan Ruyu? Or maybe neither of them are your real names?"
"Are names important to people like us? Alright, enjoy yourself. "Butterfly Flower didn't say anything else. She immediately took her leave and closed the door behind her.
Miao Yi slowly took a sip of the wine. He wasn't afraid that the food was poisoned. He thought that Butterfly Flower would definitely report his encounter to the Kou family. How would he explain himself if they asked? It had been so many years, and the Kou family had always treated him well.
He knocked on the door. Yan Xiu opened the door and looked inside. He was clearly worried that something had happened to Miao Yi. Miao Yi gently shook his head. After confirming that nothing had happened, Yan Xiu left.
Soon, Zhan Ruyi knocked on the door again and barged in. He entered without being invited and sat down at the side. He asked, "Why is this woman looking for you?"
Miao Yi replied, "It's nothing much. She's trying to find out my background."
Zhan Ruyi thought about it and felt that it was more or less the case. Even if they were alone, they probably wouldn't do anything too out of line. He looked at Miao Yi, who was deep in thought as he sipped on his wine. He wanted to say something, but hesitated. In the end, he left.
Just as Miao Yi had expected, Kou Wenlan contacted him after about two hours. The higher-ranking members of the Kou family had never contacted him before. It had always been Kou Wenlan who had been contacting him. Her purpose in contacting him was to ask why Miao Yi had gone to the Kou family's tavern in the black market.
Miao Yi refused again and again. It really wasn't convenient for him to talk about it. However, Kou Wenlan insisted on getting to the bottom of this. She also made it very clear that if he wasn't a subordinate of the Left Supervisor, and if he hadn't happened to go to the Kou family's tavern, he, Kou Wenlan, wouldn't have been so persistent. This matter concerned the entire Kou family. He had to get an answer.
At this point, Miao Yi really did owe the Kou family a lot of favors. He also understood the Kou family's worries. They were definitely worried that the Heavenly Court had something against the Kou family. After hesitating for a while, Miao Yi finally revealed his purpose in coming here. He made it clear that he wasn't targeting the Kou family, and that he had indeed accidentally stumbled into the Kou family's tavern in the black market. As for how many people had come, and who else had come, Miao Yi was very sorry that he didn't tell them.
Kou Wenlan expressed her understanding and didn't pursue the matter any further. The Kou family also knew that they had put Miao Yi in a difficult position this time. If the Heavenly Court found out that Miao Yi had divulged the secret mission to the Kou family, the Left Supervisor would never tolerate such a person. The consequences would definitely be dire. They knew that Miao Yi was taking a huge risk this time, and he was betting on his trust in the Kou family.
In return, the Kou family expressed their generosity. Kou Wenlan promised to keep this matter a secret for Miao Yi. At the same time, he also said that if Miao Yi encountered any trouble in the phantom market, he could directly ask for Butterfly Flower's help, or contact Kou Wenlan directly. The Kou family would do their best to assist him.
From another perspective, Miao Yi had basically handed over a huge piece of information to the Kou family. He had boarded the Kou family's pirate ship, and if the Kou family were to divulge this matter, Miao Yi wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. But then again, Miao Yi was no longer afraid of an itch. He had already become the leader of the rebels. He didn't know if the Kou family would still dare to collude with him like this if they found out.
Not long after Miao Yi ended his contact with Kou Wenlan, Butterfly Flower came looking for him again.
She knocked on the door and entered. She immediately took out two Star Bells and placed them in front of Miao Yi with transcendence seals. "If there's anything you need my help with, you can contact me directly. I will do my best to ensure your safety in the tavern."
Miao Yi smiled. He was completely unfamiliar with this damned place, and he was completely clueless. Perhaps he really did need her help with something. He didn't try to be unreasonable, and imprinted transcendence seals on the two Star Bells, then kept one for himself.
Butterfly Flower kept the other one and left immediately.
In the following days, Zhan Ruyi and Miao Yi traveled around the phantom city as a couple. They followed the map and familiarized themselves with the city's terrain. However, the more Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi interacted with each other, the more he noticed that something was off about Zhan Ruyi. He noticed that this woman would occasionally show him a little like a little girl. She wasn't as forceful as before, and the way she looked at him also seemed a little strange.
This discovery made Miao Yi feel a little apprehensive. He was no longer that clueless brat who didn't understand the relationship between a man and a woman. He could vaguely sense that Zhan Ruyi had some feelings for him, but he didn't understand why. Perhaps he was overthinking things, but he was afraid of her like a snake or a scorpion. Had he ever had Huangfu Jun? After what happened with Y, there were some things he didn't dare to touch again. If he really dragged the Ying family into this mess, he would have a headache just thinking about it.
Regardless of whether Zhan Ruyi's gaze was intentional or not, Miao Yi pretended not to understand and avoided her gaze.
Several days later, as he was familiarizing himself with the phantom city, Miao Yi suddenly received a message from Yun Zhiqiu. He didn't need to reply to know that Yun Zhiqiu had arrived. Ever since Yun Zhiqiu found out that Miao Yi could communicate with the White Phoenix, she made an appointment to meet with him to discuss the matter of the Transcendence Bow.
On the other hand, she did miss Miao Yi. She wanted to meet him and see how he was doing. There were some things that couldn't be comforted by contacting him through Starbell.
Miao Yi found an excuse to avoid Zhan Ruyi and led Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing back to the tavern. Along the way, he contacted Butterfly Flower and asked her to arrange for someone to send the 'Left Commandant's man' to his room.
As soon as he returned to the tavern, he found an old man standing guard outside his room. The old man stopped Miao Yi.
Yun Zhiqiu was the first to arrive. She opened the door slightly and said, "He's one of us. Let him in. You can leave for now."
The old man stepped aside, and Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing took over guarding the door.
As he entered, Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu smiled at each other. They both removed their disguises, and Yun Zhiqiu suddenly rushed forward and threw herself into Miao Yi's arms. The two of them held each other tightly for a long time without saying a word.
After a long time, Miao Yi kissed her on the cheek and asked, "Who was the old man standing guard outside just now?"
"He's someone from the Devil Path. He's a Lotus Transformation expert sent by my grandfather to protect me." Yun Zhiqiu murmured with a look of enjoyment on her face. She lifted her head and wrapped her arms around Miao Yi's neck. "Niu Er, is it safe for you to stay here? Before I came here, I specifically asked someone from the Devil Path to find out more about this place. It's not safe to stay in an inn in the phantom city."
Miao Yi smiled. "It should be safe. Come to think of it, this inn is actually set up by the Kou family …" He briefly explained the situation to her.
