Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The thought of falling into Jiang Yiyi's hands had truly frightened them. That perverted bandit's reputation was quite intimidating.
The carpenter couldn't help but ask, "Lady Boss, the guards outside have all been withdrawn. Shouldn't you take the opportunity to move?"
Yun Zhiqiu let out a long sigh. "Forget it. Someone told me that I'm no longer needed here. Otherwise, they'll turn on me!"
The carpenter, the stonemason, the chef, and the scholar exchanged glances. They could roughly guess who it was, and their hearts leaped with joy. No wonder. It was that bastard who had made a move on his wife. He was no pushover. If he could do something as crazy as that in the Imperial Garden, he wouldn't care about a mere General. This time, General Chu would probably be in deep trouble!
They had been surrounded by Chu Zishan's men for quite some time now. They had been suppressing their anger for a long time, and now the person to vent their anger was here!
However, Old Fan didn't understand what was going on. He didn't know the relationship between Yun Zhiqiu and Miao Yi, so he assumed that Yun Zhiqiu was referring to someone from the Devil Dao. He asked, "Lady Boss, may I know who that body double is?" This was what he was most concerned about.
"I don't know either. Alright, follow Qian'Er out. Qian'Er has some things to tell you." Yun Zhiqiu calmly replied and ignored him. She picked up the scroll on the table and continued to read it. There was no need for the Devil Dao to know about the Thousand-faced Fox demon.
Old Fan wanted to ask more, but Qian'Er had already walked over and extended her hand. "Please come with me."
The carpenter and the other three cooperated and turned to leave. Old Fan had no choice but to follow them. Outside, Qian'Er gave them some instructions. There wasn't anything else, just that the truth about Yun Zhiqiu not being kidnapped should not be revealed for the time being.
When the Glorious Cloud Pavilion returned to its peaceful state, everyone went back to what they were doing.
After Qian'Er returned to the Blessed Paradise, Yun Zhiqiu couldn't keep up her calm any longer. She tossed the scroll in her hand aside and cursed, "It seems like my previous suspicions were right. Jiang Yiyi's incident was indeed caused by that bastard. Everyone outside probably knows that I was kidnapped by that perverted bastard. That bastard! Do you think my reputation isn't bad enough? "
Qian 'Er asked hesitantly, "What is Milord trying to do?"
The anger on Yun Zhiqiu's face instantly turned into worry. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I'm sure things aren't that simple. Don't the two of you know that guy's problem? He was afraid that something was really going to happen! But now, he doesn't listen to my advice at all. He's deliberately avoiding me and refusing to see me. It's obvious that he's afraid that I'll stop him. What can I do? "
Qian'Er and Xue'Er had worried looks on their faces. They had been following Miao Yi since he was still a nobody. Naturally, they knew that Miao Yi wasn't someone to be trifled with. There was a high chance that he wouldn't let this matter slide so easily. Furthermore, this incident happened right before their 'good day'. Even they wouldn't believe it if they said nothing else had happened!
The tree longed for peace, but the wind would not stop. The news that the Lady Boss of the Glorious Cloud Pavilion had been kidnapped by Jiang Yiyi had already spread, and people from the neighboring shops kept coming over to find out the truth.
"I heard that Boss Yun was kidnapped by Jiang Yiyi outside the city?"
The slightly plump shopkeeper looked around the shop. Why did it look like nothing had happened? He moved closer to the counter and asked the Confucian scholar.
The Confucian scholar glared at him and scolded, "Your wife was kidnapped by Jiang Yiyi just now. Why aren't you going back to take a look?"
The chubby shopkeeper chuckled, thinking that the Confucian scholar was just pretending to be calm for the outsiders to see. After all, if a woman was kidnapped by Jiang Yiyi, his reputation would be tarnished. Hence, he didn't mind the Confucian scholar's scolding. He cupped his fists and excused himself before leaving.
"I heard something happened to your Lady Boss?"
"Nothing good comes out of a filthy mouth. Something happened to your entire family!"
People kept coming over to 'show their concern', only to be scolded and chased away.
In outer space, the black-clothed man was still holding 'Yun Zhiqiu' hostage as he fled. The hundreds of troops behind him were hot on his tail.
'Yun Zhiqiu' occasionally glanced back and transmitted her voice to the black-clothed man through gritted teeth, "I was so scared just now. Was there a need to go so far? Even my legs are trembling! "
The black-clothed man said sinisterly, "Even I'm not afraid. What are you afraid of?"
'Yun Zhiqiu' replied, "What does this have to do with me? You dragged me out to risk my life for no reason. Go back and tell Niu Youde. Don't come looking for me for something like this in the future! "
The black-clothed man couldn't be bothered with her.
'Yun Zhiqiu' looked down at the bloody wound on her abdomen. Although her clothes had been torn by her arts, the flesh underneath was completely unharmed. She couldn't help but cry out again. "That dagger isn't bad. It's very well designed. I didn't expect it to fool so many eyes. I risked my life to help you guys so much. How about you give that dagger to me later?"
The black-clothed man replied, "It's not mine. Milord gave it to me. You want to look for him yourself. "
"Hmph!" 'Yun Zhiqiu' scoffed.
On an irregular celestial body not too far away, Huang Xiaotian was hiding in a stone cave as he watched the two of them fly past. Soon, he saw the troops behind them fly past as well. He merely took a look and continued to wait here indifferently. It was only when Chu Zishan, the lieutenant of the Yuding Region, flew over with a group of people did his eyes widen. He quickly took out a Star Bell, but no one knew where he was trying to contact it.
Deep in space, on a desolate planet without a shroud or any signs of life, Miao Yi slowly walked out from a mountain cave amidst the rolling valleys. He was dressed casually.
Mu Yulian, the Blue Tiger Banner's Grand Commander, was waiting outside. She turned around and quickly cupped her fists and greeted, "Milord!" She was also dressed casually.
She looked at Miao Yi with a hint of respect in her eyes. If she had been unconvinced before, she was completely convinced now. He was someone who dared to slap King Ying in the face and cause a ruckus during the Celestial Emperor's wedding ceremony! She heard that even the Left Commandant, Lord Pojun, had personally stepped forward to protect him. What was even more ridiculous was that he was imprisoned in the Desolate Ancient Dead Lands for a thousand years, and yet he was still able to come back alive. All in all, he was incredibly impressive!
If she were in his shoes, she wouldn't even dare to try it. She would be dead for sure if she committed any of those crimes.
Miao Yi asked calmly, "Is everyone back?"
Mu Yulian replied, "They have already rested in Nine Ring Star Street for some time. They rushed back upon receiving Milord's order. Not a single one of them is missing, and they are all waiting for Milord's orders. Do you have any orders for us, Milord?"
Miao Yi replied, "Nothing much. I'm going to pass through here, so I asked you all to gather at Nine Ring Star Street and meet me there. I've given you so much time to prepare. I'm sure you've already bought your personal belongings from Nine Ring Star?"
Mu Yulian replied, "Please give us your orders, Milord!"
Miao Yi said, "Have everyone prepare to depart. We will return to the Imperial Garden to change defenses."
"Understood!" Mu Yulian cupped her fists and accepted the order. Then, she saw Miao Yi taking out the Star Bell again. His lips curled into a cold smile as he scoffed, "What a coincidence!"
Mu Yulian couldn't help asking, "Milord, what's wrong?"
"Have you heard of the perverted Jiang Yiyi?" Miao Yi asked.
Mu Yulian was taken aback. "I've heard of him. A few days ago, when Nine Ring Star Street was locked down in a massive manhunt for this Jiang Yiyi, I was in the city as well. It was quite a commotion."
Miao Yi flashed the Star Bell in his hand and continued, "I've received news that Jiang Yiyi has kidnapped a woman and is heading our way. There are only two of them, so I was wondering if I should capture her as well?"
Mu Yulian's eyes brightened as she smiled, "Milord is indeed blessed. You've just left the Primordial Era, and you've already received a meritorious deed. This Jiang Yiyi has offended quite a few officials in the Heavenly Court. If we can capture him, it will be a great merit!"
Miao Yi furrowed his brows and said, "But we haven't received any orders. Isn't it inappropriate for us to capture a fugitive in someone else's territory?"
Mu Yulian smiled, "It's not like we're going around capturing fugitives. They came to us on their own accord. If we let them go, I'm afraid they'll blame us instead. Milord, this perverted Jiang Yiyi specifically targets the families of officials. We don't even know which official's family he's kidnapping this time. If Milord can save them, they'll surely be grateful. "
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes and asked, "You mean it'll be fine? I can do that? "
Mu Yulian replied, "It's only natural. What trouble could there be? It'd be a waste not to take a meritorious deed that comes to us."
Miao Yi nodded and said, "Very well! However, it's best to be careful. This Jiang Yiyi has managed to escape from the Heavenly Court's pursuit time and time again. I'm afraid he's not that simple. It'll be best if we can capture him, but if we can't, there's no need to continue chasing after him. It'll save us trouble. I've just been released from prison, so I don't want to cause any trouble. Pass down my orders. Tell our brothers not to reveal our identities. "
"Understood!" Mu Yulian acknowledged her orders and left. However, she couldn't help but grumble in her heart, 'You actually said you don't want to cause trouble? Haven't you caused enough trouble already? '
Not long after, a black-clothed man flew towards them from outer space with a woman in his hands. At the same time, a thousand troops quickly flew out from the planet and split into eight groups, heading in eight different directions to circle around the newcomer.
Following beside Miao Yi, Mu Yulian hurriedly said, "Milord, there are still troops from the Heavenly Court chasing after them!"
They had already noticed the several hundred troops chasing after them.
Miao Yi laughed coldly and said, "Since we've already made our move, then the credit belongs to whoever gets it first. I've long heard of Jiang Yiyi's reputation. I'll go meet him later!" With a clatter, he donned his armor and charged out at full speed with the Inversed-Scales Spear in hand.
Mu Yulian was shocked. She was afraid that something would happen to him.
However, the black-clothed man who was holding the woman in his hands didn't hesitate at all and forcefully charged towards him.
In the instant they collided, before anyone could figure out what was going on, Miao Yi suddenly took out a large mirror and slammed it down. The black-clothed man who was holding the hostage swung his sword to block, but missed. The surface of the mirror rippled, and the black-clothed man was swept into the mirror, vanishing along with the hostage.
The mirror in Miao Yi's hand trembled and shrunk back to its normal size. He then turned around and left.
Afraid that something would happen to him, Mu Yulian was stunned. 'That's it?'
The several hundred troops chasing after them hurriedly stopped in midair, not because of anything else, but because of the thousand-odd troops that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They were outnumbered, so they couldn't recklessly charge in. Before they could even react to what was going on, Jiang Yiyi and Yun Zhiqiu were already gone?
