Her motive for doing so was simple. It wasn't to intimidate Yue Yao. She just wanted to let Yue Yao know that she wasn't afraid of her, but that she was going easy on her!
She also wanted Yue Yao to understand that since she knew that her big brother's fate was unknown in the Primordial Wastelands, she shouldn't distract him and should wait for her big brother to return safely.
Was she angry? Naturally, she was infuriated. In this world, a woman's purity was extremely important. From a certain perspective, it was as important as her life. Yue Yao's words were practically asking for her life. If it were anyone else, they would have become sworn enemies.
However, she still had to consider the fact that Yue Yao was Miao Yi's little sister. She had to endure some humiliation. This was one of the prices she had to pay when she decided to marry that insignificant Miao Yi all those years ago. Since she had decided to marry him, she had to accept his background.
She also had to consider Miao Yi's current situation. As a married couple, there was nothing she could do to help Miao Yi at the moment. She felt guilty and couldn't allow Miao Yi to be distracted in a dangerous place like the Primordial Wastelands. That was why she tried her best to maintain the harmony of Miao Yi's family, even though no woman would like their man to have a bunch of wives and concubines by his side.
In fact, she had managed to do so. She had never asked Miao Yi to worry about the internal affairs of the family. No matter how far away Miao Yi was from home, he didn't have to worry about such matters. In fact, it could be said that Miao Yi had forgotten about the women in his family.
"Yun Zhiqiu, don't think I'm afraid of you!" Yue Yao gritted her teeth. Even though she knew that she shouldn't be causing trouble for her big brother at a time like this, she still refused to admit defeat in front of so many people.
Yun Zhiqiu glared at her and said, "I don't think you're afraid of me either. When you think you can beat me in a fight, you're welcome to come and teach me a lesson. You don't have to argue with me here!" She then turned around and walked away as if she didn't want to say anything else.
Tang Jun took the opportunity to give Yue Yao a way out and pulled her back.
The scene quickly quietened down.
Ji Meili and the others, on the other hand, kept glancing at Yun Zhiqiu. They were all women, so they didn't mind that Yun Zhiqiu was the legal wife and they were the concubines. That was pure nonsense. However, at this moment, the concubines truly admired her in their hearts. She was humiliated to such an extent, yet she had the strength to teach her opponent a lesson and still endured it for her husband's sake. The four of them admitted that it would be very difficult for them to do so, and they began to realize the gap between them and Yun Zhiqiu.
However, she comforted herself in her heart. If she was the legal wife, she would probably protect him like this.
However, when she thought about how Yun Zhiqiu had taken care of her sisters in the past, she couldn't believe that she hadn't spoken up for Yun Zhiqiu in the face of such a situation. They were all from the same family, but Yun Zhiqiu had to deal with it all by himself. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Although Yun Zhiqiu looked calm on the surface, she was feeling a little sad inside. They were all sisters in name, but not a single one of them stood out to speak up for her … However, this thought only flashed through her mind for a moment. She could empathize with the situation these girls were in. After all, they were not here to represent themselves, but the powers behind them. Some things couldn't be messed with. When they first married Miao Yi, they all had their own goals in mind. Miao Yi marrying them had something to do with her as well.
She didn't think too much about her own honor. What she thought was that she still hadn't done enough. There was still a long way to go before she could completely change the hearts of these people from their sects to Miao Yi's side.
As she was lost in her thoughts, the starbell in her storage ring woke her up. It was a message from her grandfather, Yun Aotian. After taking out the starbell to contact him, Yun Zhiqiu was instantly dumbfounded. She finally understood what Miao Yi wanted her to wait for.
She wasn't the only one. The representatives of the other clans of the Five Paths also received messages from their sects.
The messages were all the same. The secret outposts of the Five Paths outside of Purgatory had been massacred, and they were to ask if Miao Yi was the culprit.
Seeing that everyone else had received the message, they asked each other about it. Only then did they realize that two of their secret outposts had been massacred.
It would have been better if they hadn't asked, but the moment they did, they were shocked. Was Miao Yi really the culprit? But how did Miao Yi know about their secret outposts? Most of the people present didn't know about this.
As Yun Zhiqiu listened to the questions from the various clans, she felt conflicted. She could roughly guess that Miao Yi was the culprit. The Six Paths of Reincarnation had done that again and again. The incident with the White Phoenix had truly angered Miao Yi. Millions of Transcendence Bows weren't something that could be spat out easily. When Miao Yi went berserk, he would even risk his own life. Based on Miao Yi's ferocious nature, it was entirely possible that he would do something like this.
But she couldn't figure it out. To put it bluntly, there were some things that the Six Paths of Reincarnation hadn't told Yun Aotian and the others about. Not even the Heavenly Court knew about it. How did Miao Yi know?
Everyone turned to look at Yun Zhiqiu.
Before, it was Yue Yao who was being unreasonable. Now, Tang Jun couldn't help but ask, "Madam Miao, the secret outposts of the Devil Dao are safe, right?"
At present, the Six Paths of Reincarnation didn't know that they had all been attacked. After receiving the news, they immediately linked it to Miao Yi's abnormality and contacted the Six Paths of Reincarnation to verify it.
Yun Zhiqiu flashed the starbell in her hand and smiled bitterly. "It seems everyone suspects that Miao Yi is the culprit. Two of the Devil Dao's secret outposts have also been attacked. There is no doubt about this. Your sects will soon be able to verify it with my grandfather. There's no way to hide something like this. We'll know once we investigate the scene. "
This time, Yue Yao furrowed her brows. If her Big Brother was really the culprit, then her sect would suffer a loss as well. She was in a dilemma. In fact, she was afraid of having to make such a choice.
Meanwhile, Yun Guang and the others felt a headache coming on. That bastard Miao Yi wouldn't really have the entire Yun Clan in one fell swoop, would he? If that was really the case, then he was truly ruthless. But then again, it wasn't that strange. After all, the Yun Clan had almost taken Miao Yi's life anyway.
Tang Jun said, "Madam Miao, won't you know if it's your husband who did it?" He turned his gaze to Fairy Hong Chen, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation with her eyes closed. He shook his head inwardly. 'I can't count on this Junior Sister of mine anymore. What's the point of turning back? ' 'Papaya Meng Shuo Spanish Mackerel?' 'Mackerel?' 'Hachiro Province?'
The other clans shared the same sentiments. They all gestured for Ji Meili and the others to quickly investigate.
Actually, everyone knew that when the sect first married these women to Miao Yi, it was because they weren't familiar with the situation in the higher realms. They wanted to avoid the risks that Miao Yi would bring. At the time, Miao Yi didn't have the strength to fight against the combined forces of the Sages. In order to avoid any worries and establish himself as the overlord of the small realms, they took advantage of the situation.
Now, this layer of use had naturally disappeared. However, it had once again become a bond between them and Miao Yi. With this bond of marriage, they would still have room to maneuver in the event of a conflict of interest between them. After all, Miao Yi didn't dare to go overboard now. The Five Sages knew of Miao Yi's secret. If they revealed it, even Miao Yi himself wouldn't be able to handle it. There was no way the Heaven Court would let him go!
Hence, the wives and concubines who were married to Miao Yi became the key buffer between the two sides. They wouldn't be left with no way out in the event of a falling out.
The women also needed Yun Zhiqiu to act as a buffer between them and Miao Yi. As soon as something happened to the sect, they immediately went to ask Miao Yi about it. They were also afraid that Miao Yi would be angry at them for standing on his side, so they all turned their gazes to Yun Zhiqiu.
Yun Zhiqiu sighed inwardly. She understood what her sisters meant. They wanted her to ask Miao Yi.
However, she didn't have to worry about such things between her and Miao Yi. She was the only one in the family who dared to start a fight with Miao Yi. If Miao Yi called her a shrew, she would call him a slut and a bastard. After all, neither of them would take it to heart, and they could just roll back together again. However, if it were Ji Meili or the others, Miao Yi would dare to call her a 'shrew' or something along those lines. It wasn't that he didn't dare to, but that it would immediately hurt their feelings. Hence, Miao Yi knew when to stop. He wouldn't simply say such things to Ji Meili or the others.
Even though she was no longer a match for Miao Yi if they were to fight now, and she couldn't beat him, the tone between husband and wife had already been set. The two of them hadn't even become husband and wife yet. Back in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, she had already often made a move on Miao Yi. It was normal for her to throw a tantrum.
In fact, she also knew that even if Miao Yi won, he wouldn't do anything to her. Miao Yi couldn't bear to beat her until her face was swollen. No matter how high he raised his hand when he was enraged, he would only end up giving her a few tight slaps on her bottom at most. On the other hand, if she were to throw a tantrum, Miao Yi would definitely not be able to handle it. However, how could she not understand that Miao Yi was going easy on her? Miao Yi's love for her was ingrained in his bones. She knew this very well. This was the thing she was most proud of. Being spoiled was also one of the things she found fun in with Miao Yi. She really enjoyed the feeling of throwing a tantrum at him every once in a while.
After contacting Miao Yi, Yun Zhiqiu asked, 'Niu Er, tell me honestly. What have you been doing behind my back?'
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Miao Yi smirked. It looked like the other side had already received the news. He replied, 'What else could I have been doing?'
Yun Zhiqiu: 'In other words, you're admitting that you're the one who massacred the secret hideout of the Five Paths?'
Miao Yi: 'I did it! If I hadn't softened at the crucial moment, I would have wiped out all of those shops as well! '
Yun Zhiqiu: 'So this is what you wanted to tell us after gathering us here?'
Miao Yi: 'Yes!'
Yun Zhiqiu: 'Why didn't you tell me beforehand …?'
In the end, Miao Yi didn't ask why he hadn't told her beforehand. She knew that he didn't want to put her in a difficult position. She continued asking, 'Where did you get so many men? Do you have men that I don't know about? How did you find out about the secret hideout of the Five Paths? '
Miao Yi: 'Let's talk about this later. They can go back now.'
After the two of them ended the call, Yun Zhiqiu smiled bitterly at the crowd. She told them that Miao Yi had 'confessed' and relayed Miao Yi's words to them.
Everyone was shocked and quickly contacted their respective sects.
Yun Zhiqiu looked at the thoughtful expressions on her sisters' faces. She believed that everyone understood the real reason why Miao Yi had sent them away was because he had gone easy on them. He was afraid that his family members would be hurt when he made a move, and he had even taken care of their family members.
Of course, they naturally thought that Miao Yi hadn't touched those shops in the end because he had stopped at the crucial moment. He didn't want to ruin their foothold, and they were a little touched by this.
Little did they know that Miao Yi had done it unintentionally. When he was angry, he really didn't care about anything else. He didn't have any other choice in the beginning anyway.
There was one thing that everyone present didn't know. They didn't know how much damage the Five Paths had suffered, and they didn't know how heavy the price they had to pay. This was because they didn't know the situation at the secret hideout.
