"Thousand-faced fox spirit?" Lady Biyue was taken aback. Why did he suddenly bring this up? She asked suspiciously, "Why do you want to borrow it?"
Miao Yi replied, "I need it for something. Don't worry, I'll return it to you soon."
Lady Biyue was a little hesitant. It wasn't that she was stingy, but this Thousand-faced fox spirit was related to her biggest secret. If the fox spirit didn't tell the truth, she would be embarrassed to death. She was the one who made the Thousand-faced fox spirit become this one.
Even though she rarely made the Thousand-faced fox spirit do that ever since the incident in Purgatory, she was still worried! Sometimes, she even considered killing the Thousand-faced fox spirit, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to do so.
Miao Yi could guess some of her concerns. He wanted to point it out to show that he already knew, but he decided against it. Who didn't have some privacy? Her privacy wouldn't affect others. Besides, it was understandable that she was lonely. There was no need to embarrass her, so he kept quiet and waited.
After a long while, Lady Biyue said hesitantly, "It's not that I don't want to lend it to you, but this fox spirit isn't honest. How about we just forget about it?"
Miao Yi slowly raised his cup to his lips, "I hope Lady Biyue will grant my request. I will return it in time after this is over!"
Since he was so insistent, Lady Biyue couldn't reject him too much. In the end, she nodded and agreed.
And so, when Miao Yi left, there was an additional pitiful pink fox in his arms.
Imperial Garden. Standing in a pavilion halfway up the mountain, Yang Qing gazed at the headquarters on the opposite mountain. His eyes were filled with worry as he sighed, "It's a pity it's not Weiwei. How can Yun Zhiqiu have such a husband? Her life is not in vain. Sigh!"
He really didn't know what to do with Miao Yi.
Actually, Miao Yi had contacted him as soon as he left the Primordial Wastelands. He asked him, Yang Zhaoqing, and the other confidants to pretend to visit his family on the planet where they were stationed. They were to evacuate with them, abandon the foundation they had built in the greater world, and return to the lesser world to prevent any changes!
Yang Qing was shocked by such a huge matter. He didn't know what had happened. Naturally, he asked again and again. Miao Yi also knew that this matter couldn't be hidden anymore, so he told him. Only then did Yang Qing realize that someone was coveting Yun Zhiqiu and had angered Miao Yi. That lunatic Miao Yi actually wanted to send his troops to attack the Commander Manor of the Yuding Domain, swearing to bathe the entire place in blood and hack that scum Chu Zishan into a thousand pieces!
Yang Qing was shocked. He finally understood what it meant to fly into a rage for a beauty!
Once again, he had experienced Miao Yi's character when he was ready to risk everything. He completely disregarded the consequences!
Naturally, he was advising Miao Yi to reconsider. 'Chu Zishan can be dealt with later, but since you've decided to make your relationship with Yun Zhiqiu public, you can strike first and gain the upper hand.' Chu Zishan wouldn't be able to do anything to Yun Zhiqiu after that, so there was no need for him to throw his life away.
However, there were some things that Miao Yi could tolerate, and some things that he couldn't. He wouldn't listen to advice at all. Of course, Miao Yi's actions weren't without reason. Even though he had escaped from the Primordial Dead Lands, the Ying Clan wouldn't let him off the hook easily. Since he happened to bump into Yun Zhiqiu as well, he might as well turn against them for now.
In the end, Yang Qing tried to persuade him again and again. He said that after being here for so long, he had a general understanding of the situation here. As long as he was careful, things might not be as bad as Miao Yi thought. He offered a perfect plan that would not only achieve Miao Yi's goal, but also protect the foundation here. Only then was Miao Yi convinced.
That was how Miao Yi managed to meet up with Heavenly Dawn Star Lord and the others according to his original plan.
Of course, Miao Yi changed Yang Qing's plan again. At the very least, Yang Qing wouldn't know that he was borrowing the Thousand-faced Demon Fox. Miao Yi did this to increase his chances of success.
"He refused?" Old Tang was surprised.
Back at the Heavenly King's Palace on Jade Star, Kou Wenlan had yet to see her grandfather. Kou Lingxu would not discuss his granddaughter's marriage with his grandchildren. Instead, Kou Lingxu's old servant personally came to Third Master Kou Mian's courtyard to ask about the situation. The eldest Kou Zheng and the second Kou Qin had also arrived. The third brother, Kou Mian, was naturally there as well.
Some things could have been explained in Xing Ling, but Kou Mian still wanted to take the opportunity to let his son interact more with the elders. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing if they were estranged for too long. Thus, he ordered his son to rush back and report to him in person.
Although he was the young master, Kou Wenlan didn't dare to be arrogant in front of this old butler that his grandfather trusted the most. He respectfully said, "It's my fault. I couldn't get him to agree, but my father told me not to force him. "
"Third Master is right. There's no reason to force the Kou family's daughter into marriage." Frowning, Old Tang nodded in agreement. He continued to ask, "Little Young Master, did you ask him why he refused?"
Kou Wenlan respectfully said, "He said he already has someone he likes, and that we will know soon."
"Is that so …" Old Tang stroked his beard and muttered.
Kou Qin coldly snorted, "What an insensible fellow. He really thinks he's someone important."
Old Tang glanced at him and continued to ask, "Little Young Master, did he say who the person he likes is? Why don't you explain the situation in detail? "
Kou Wenlan said, "He refused to say …" He roughly explained the situation, hiding the fact that he had plotted against his own sister.
Seeing that Old Tang had sunk into silence again, Kou Zheng asked, "Uncle Tang, do you think there's more to this?"
Old Tang shook his head slightly, "It's fine if it's just someone he likes, but he refused to say. I'm worried that someone else might have made the first move and gotten ahead of us. After all, the Hao family and Guang family aren't to be trifled with. Perhaps I'm overthinking things."
Kou Zheng said, "Uncle Tang, there's nothing wrong with being thorough in your considerations. But if that wasn't the case, would we still continue to recruit Niu Youde?"
Old Tang said, "If I'm overthinking things, then of course we'll try to recruit him if we can. However, if we can't arrange a marriage, then we'll lack this level of in-laws. Even if we manage to recruit him, there's still a difference in the degree of closeness … Let's wait and see."
Kou Zheng nodded, "I didn't think that Niu Youde's cultivation would advance so quickly. He broke through to the Colored Lotus realm so quickly. With time, he will surely become a fierce general. Come to think of it, this is all my fault for being too petty back then. I had eyes but failed to recognize a gem. Back then, Uncle Tang even specifically reminded me to pay more attention. Something that could have been done with just a little bit of capital was ruined by me. It's my fault. "
Old Tang looked at him with admiration. Being able to criticize and admit his mistakes was the kind of mind a future successor of the Kou Family should have. With some training, the Kou Family would have a successor. He then consoled, "Some things are different now. It'll be the same no matter who it is. There's no need to blame yourself, Eldest."
Kou Qin was a little uncomfortable with Old Tang's admiring gaze. He scoffed, "You're blaming yourself for a little Niu Youde. Isn't Eldest Brother going a little too far?" He was implying that his Eldest Brother was deliberately putting on an act. He also wanted to remind Old Tang not to be deceived.
His words instantly caused the atmosphere in the room to turn subtle. How could Eldest Brother Kou Zheng not be aware of this? His expression didn't change. He slowly tilted his head to look at Kou Qin and asked, "Second Brother, do you know who Niu Youde's master is?"
"Niu Youde's master?" Kou Qin was stunned. He was a little stumped by this question. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "What does this have to do with his master?"
Kou Zheng said indifferently, "It's no wonder. If you knew who his master was, I'm afraid you wouldn't say that."
Kou Qin was suspicious, "Who is his master? Could it be that his master is His Majesty the Celestial Emperor if Eldest Brother thinks so highly of him? "
"I don't think so." Kou Zheng shook his head and said gently, "Recently, there's been a rumor that Niu Youde's master is the Fire Asura!"
"The Fire Asura?" Kou Qin and Kou Mian exclaimed at the same time.
Kou Wenlan was puzzled. He had never heard of such a person. But looking at his father and uncle, they seemed to be very shocked. He looked at Old Tang again and found that his expression was calm. He didn't seem to be surprised at all. It was as if he already knew something.
Kou Qin asked doubtfully, "Eldest Brother, which Fire Asura?"
Kou Zheng said, "Don't tell me there are other Fire Asuras? Of course it's the Fire Asura from the era of the Six Saints! "
"It's him!" The two brothers exclaimed again.
Someone from the era of the Six Saints? Kou Wenlan couldn't help but ask, "Father, who is this Fire Asura?"
Kou Mian said solemnly, "During the era of the Six Saints, there was a person who didn't accept the invitation of the Six Saints and wasn't bound by them. He was a loner, rebellious, tyrannical, and dominated the world with his powerful strength. But the Six Saints couldn't do anything to him. This shows how powerful this person was."
Kou Wenlan was secretly shocked. Such a powerful person was Niu Youde's master. Did Niu Youde have such a background? He couldn't help but ask again, "Is Niu Youde's master still alive?"
Kou Mian sighed, "I don't know what he did, but he angered Master White. Master White hunted him down and finally killed him! Before that, Master White was still a nobody. The first thing he did when he came out of seclusion was to kill the Fire Asura. It was also this battle that made the world know about Master White! " He then turned to Kou Zheng and asked, "Eldest Brother, how can you be sure that Niu Youde is the Fire Asura's disciple? Could the rumor be wrong? "
Kou Zheng didn't answer, but looked at Old Tang.
Old Tang smiled. Although he answered, it was a little vague, "His Majesty must have already found out that Niu Youde is the Fire Asura's disciple. Otherwise, Pojun wouldn't have agreed to let Niu Youde go to the Primordial Wasteland after entering the palace to protect him. Pojun probably knows about Niu Youde's background. The Fire Asura was one of the few people who could enter and leave the Primordial Wasteland freely. He only became famous after he came out of the Primordial Wasteland. It's really surprising that Niu Youde can come out unscathed after being imprisoned there for a thousand years. It can't be a coincidence. "
Clap! Kou Qin suddenly hit his fist against his palm and sighed, "It's really a pity!" He felt even more heartache than he showed on the surface. Niu Youde had such a background, and his status was so high that he could be a match for his daughter. If he could get Niu Youde as his son-in-law, he would be a great help to his branch. It was a pity that he missed this chance!
Kou Zheng and Kou Mian also felt it was a pity.
Kou Wenlan asked softly, "If that's the case, I'm afraid many people will covet Niu Youde's cultivation method."
