Yun Zhiqiu replied, "I suspected him as well, but how did he know about the demonic monk Nan Bo's sealed location?"
Miao Yi asked, "Don't you know what the ascetic monk is best at?"
Yun Zhiqiu was amused. "You can calculate? Don't tell me you can even calculate this? "
Miao Yi tilted his head and asked, "Have you met him before?"
Yun Zhiqiu replied, "Not really. My grandfather has interacted with him before, and it seems like he's quite a believer."
"Seems like?" Miao Yi chuckled coldly, "You haven't come into contact with him before, so you don't know how terrifying he is. When I was still a mortal, I was more or less superstitious about this. After I stepped onto the path of cultivation, I realized that the so-called Immortals were only cultivators. How could there be anything like pinching their fingers to calculate? If everyone pinched their fingers to calculate, then that would be terrible. That's why I didn't believe in this thing. However, after I came into contact with the Shaman a few times, I realized that there really are people in this world who can calculate everything just by pinching their fingers to calculate. He could even calculate some of the things that I had done that no one knew about. It shocked me so much that I almost broke out in cold sweat. Aside from him, I really couldn't think of anyone else in the small world who was familiar with Ba Jie and his disciples, and who knew where the demonic monk Nan Bo was sealed. Furthermore, the Shaman was the only person other than us who could freely travel between the small and big worlds. He was the one who opened the way for me to come to the big world! It's entirely possible that he's pointing the way for Ba Jie and his disciple. However, I don't understand. Since he's friends with Grandmaster Qi Jie, why would he want to harm him? "
Yun Zhiqiu muttered, "If what Gao Guan said is true, then it can't be said to be a harm. Perhaps the Sorcerer knew that the cultivation technique he and his disciple practiced could withstand the Demon Monk Nan Bo's Sanskrit Chant. It was just that the purpose of doing this was incomprehensible. Since you said that he can really predict, maybe he has other reasons for guiding the master and disciple. Maybe he is really helping them and not harming them. "
Miao Yi remained silent for a moment, then quickly took out a Star Bell and shook it in his hand. Yun Zhiqiu stood silently by the side. She knew that Miao Yi was probably contacting the Shaman. She had heard from Miao Yi that he had a way to contact the Shaman.
However, after a while, Miao Yi silently put away the Star Bell. Yun Zhiqiu asked, "How is it?"
Miao Yi shook his head. "No reply."
Yun Zhiqiu sighed softly. "Everyone in the small world says that he's elusive. What kind of person is he? If we can't contact him, then this clue will be useless. "
Miao Yi furrowed his brows.
At this moment, Qian 'Er entered the Blessed Enclave. "Milord, Madam, three people have arrived one after another. They are sent by the Scripture Pavilion, Qi Guang Xuan, and Star Moon Tower. They say that they are here to deliver an invitation to milord." Three storage rings appeared in his palm.
Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu couldn't help but exchange glances. The two of them had been in the Sky Street for a long time, so it was impossible for them not to know who these three shops belonged to. They were the signature businesses of Heavenly King Guang, Heavenly King Ying, and Heavenly King Hao. They had one in each of the Sky Streets, so what did these three families mean by sending invitations?
Yun Zhiqiu took the storage ring from Qian 'Er's hand and examined it with his arts. Then, he took out three invitation cards. They weren't jade archives, but three invitation cards made of red crystal powder. The designs were similar, but the only difference was the engravings on the invitation cards. Aside from the decorations on the side, there was a picture of a luxurious mansion on the front of each invitation card, and the words' Heavenly King Guang's Manor ',' Heavenly King Ying's Manor ', and' Heavenly King Hao's Manor 'were engraved on the signboard of the main entrance.
Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu were shocked by the significance of these three invitations, let alone the fact that these invitations were worth a lot of money. They were directly sent out in the name of the Heavenly King's Manor. Although the Scripture Pavilion, Qi Guang Xuan, and Star Moon Tower were the direct businesses of the three families, they were just three ordinary shops under the three families. The shopkeepers of the three families didn't have the right to send out invitations in the name of the Heavenly King's Manor, unless they were tired of living.
Even if it was someone from the Heavenly King's Manor, they would only send out invitations in their own name. Bringing out an invitation from the Heavenly King's Manor meant that they were representing the Heavenly King's Manor.
The couple opened up the invitation card and read through it. The engravings were nothing more than polite greetings. The general gist of it was that they knew Miao Yi had just entered the city, so they had prepared some wine and invited Miao Yi over for a chat. In the end, they wrote down the name of the shop, but they knew that the shop wouldn't be able to produce such an invitation.
At the same time, it also showed that the invitation card had just been written, and it wasn't that easy to write on a red crystal invitation card. From another perspective, it also showed how extraordinary this invitation card was.
Yun Zhiqiu waved the invitation card in his hand, then looked at Miao Yi, who was staring at it with a frown, and said, "These three shops probably have some unusual guests. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to produce an invitation card. "
"I think so too. But which of these three would send me an invitation?" Miao Yi felt strange. He suddenly turned to Qian 'Er and asked, "Did Scenic Cloud Hall send anyone?"
Scenic Cloud Hall was the property of the Kou family.
Qian 'Er shook her head. "Not at the moment. These three are the only ones."
Miao Yi tilted his head and muttered, "The Kou family is the only one missing. What's going on?" He closed the invitation card and put it down in one hand, then reached for the star bell with the other to contact Kou Wenlan. He really couldn't understand what was going on. The Kou family was probably the only one who could figure out the intentions of the three clans. He had done them a favor before, so it wouldn't be too much to ask around. Otherwise, he couldn't just run over without knowing what was going on.
Gou Yue, who was strolling along a small path in the forest behind the Pavilion of Truth, suddenly turned around and asked Han Dong, who was holding the star bell, "There's no movement from the Kou family?"
Han Dong nodded. "Our men have been keeping an eye on them. So far, we haven't seen anyone from the Kou family going to Glorious Cloud Pavilion."
Gou Yue pondered for a moment. "Since they're already here, there's no reason for them to give up. It looks like it's really easier to deal with things with acquaintances. I'm guessing that Kou Wenlan directly sent out an invitation. If that's the case, Niu Youde will probably head over to Scenic Cloud Hall to scout ahead without knowing anything. We can't let the Kou family gain the upper hand in this matter. Go, send a few experts over. If he comes out, intercept him. "
Han Dong: "What if he doesn't want to come over first?"
Gou Yue said indifferently, "Don't forget whose territory this is. We have an advantage that the other three families don't have. If he doesn't want to come over, just tell him directly that the Heavenly Court has already ordered the Right Division, the Imperial Guards and the Western Army to conduct a joint investigation. The people from the Western Army have already arrived!"
Heavenly King Guang Gong was the Commanding Heavenly King of the West Army, Ying Jiuguang was the Commanding Heavenly King of the East Army, Heavenly King Hao was the Commanding Heavenly King of the South Army, and Heavenly King Kou of the North Army.
"Yes!" Han Dong complied and turned around to leave, thinking that only this person dared to issue such an order. No one else dared to fake the military order of the Western Army, but this person could have the Heavenly King of Guang reissue the order at any time.
In the secluded rear courtyard of Scenic Cloud Hall, in an elegant pavilion overlooking a lake and planted with bamboo, Tang Henian and Kou Wenlan were playing chess.
Kou Wenlan suddenly raised her head after placing down a piece. She took out a Star Bell and held it in her hand. Tang Henian, who was looking at the chessboard across from her, smiled faintly, as if he had guessed something.
Kou Wenlan exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa Tang, you were right. Niu Youde contacted me as expected."
Tang Henian lifted his head and smiled, "No need to be surprised. The other three families have all sent their men, but only ours. He's familiar with you. Since he doesn't know what's going on, he will naturally try to get some information from you. Just reply to him. Just do as this old servant taught you. "
Kou Wenlan nodded. The Star Bell replied, "Brother Niu, I finally know who the woman you were talking about is. You've been hiding it from me for a long time. Now that you have such a beautiful wife, how can you still think of me?"
Miao Yi was taken aback. "You already know?"
Kou Wenlan: "How can I not know? I was standing on the city gate tower and saw you enter the city with my own eyes. Do you think I don't know?"
Miao Yi stared blankly at Yun Zhiqiu and said, "Kou Wenlan is also at Nine Rings of Star Heaven Street."
Yun Zhiqiu was taken aback. "So you're saying that the Kou family has also sent someone here."
Miao Yi didn't care about that for now. He continued, "Where are you now, Brother Kou? I have something to discuss with you."
Kou Wenlan: "I wanted to greet you before, but my Grandpa Tang stopped me."
Miao Yi was puzzled. "Who's Grandpa Tang?"
Kou Wenlan: "I'm the Kou family's steward. He's an old man by my grandfather's side."
Miao Yi was taken aback. 'That's the most trusted aide of the Kou Heavenly King. Even someone like that is here. What are these old men trying to do?' He tried asking, "Why did they stop you from meeting me?"
Kou Wenlan: "The steward said that the Ying, Hao, and Guang families will be looking for you soon. He told me to wait and see."
Miao Yi was even more surprised. So the other party already knew about it. He didn't bother hiding it anymore and replied, "I won't hide it from you, Brother Kou. I just received invitations from the Ying, Hao, and Guang families. They were all sent out in the name of the Heavenly King's Manor. I'm guessing they're all important people. I don't know what's going on, so I was just about to ask Brother Kou.
Kou Wenlan: "Something like that happened? I'm not too sure about that. Give me a moment. I'll ask the steward and see if he'll tell me. "
Miao Yi: "Thank you!"
Kou Wenlan gently placed the Star Bell on the side of the chessboard. He glanced at Tang Henian, who was calmly placing his chess piece down, and recalled his father's instructions. Not everyone had the chance to spend time with the steward, so he had to seize the opportunity to perform well. Thus, he displayed a calm demeanor and focused his attention on the chessboard, slowly placing his chess piece down.
However, he seemed to be obsessed with cleanliness. Occasionally, he would shake out his handkerchief to wipe his chess piece. Even though Tang Henian hadn't raised his head, he had already noticed the corner of his eyes twitching from time to time.
After a few rounds on the chessboard, Tang Henian suddenly reminded him, "It's about time."
Kou Wenlan wiped his hands with his handkerchief, then calmly took out the Star Bell and replied, "Brother Niu, the steward said that the Ying family's steward, Zuo Er, has brought Heavenly King Ying's granddaughter, Ying Yue. The Hao family's Great Deacon, Duan Hong, has brought Heavenly King Hao's granddaughter, Hao Qingyan. The Guang family's news is even more exaggerated. Not only is the steward Gou Yue here, but even the Princess Consort, Mei Niang, has personally brought her daughter, Guang Mei 'er.
Miao Yi was shocked when he heard the lineup. 'Even the Princess Consort is here. What's going on?' He hurriedly asked, "Why are you congratulating me?"
Kou Wenlan: "You still can't tell? Of course it's to congratulate you on three joyous occasions. All three families want to marry their daughters to you. "
Miao Yi: "Brother Kou, why are you joking about me? Honestly, what's going on?"
Kou Wenlan: "When have I ever lied to you? I can't be more serious than this."
Miao Yi was a little dumbfounded. He slowly turned to look at Yun Zhiqiu beside him.
Yun Zhiqiu asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"He said it's three joyous occasions …" Miao Yi repeated Kou Wenlan's words in a daze.
Yun Zhiqiu was dumbfounded as well. Beside him, Qian 'Er widened her eyes in disbelief.
