Before Seven Absolutes arrived, Miao Yi was explaining Jiang Yiyi's situation to Kou Zheng.
The Kou Clan didn't actually know about Jiang Yiyi's suicide. They only knew that Jiang Yiyi had fallen into Miao Yi's hands. However, they had been waiting for news from Miao Yi all this time. Who knew that Miao Yi wouldn't make a sound even after waiting for a long time? Kou Zheng had no choice but to take the initiative to send a message to ask about Jiang Yiyi. When he found out about Jiang Yiyi's suicide, he was shocked as well.
Kou Zheng didn't say much about it. He only vaguely reminded him that they were a family now, and he should remember to report to the Kou family in time if there was anything. Why did he have to do things his own way? Once Meng Xue made his move, the Kou Clan wouldn't even know what was going on. How could that be?
Of course, Meng Xue was just an excuse. His meaning was just short of directly pointing out that if there was anything that happened in the future, he would have to report it to the Kou family. Otherwise, the Kou family would be unhappy.
Miao Yi agreed verbally, but he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart. The Kou Clan was clearly in control.
On the other hand, Yun Zhiqiu was trying to calm him down by the side. It was reasonable for him to want to take control of the situation. If he were to get into trouble now, the Kou Clan would definitely be implicated, so he could understand how the Kou Clan felt.
After Qi Jue arrived, he also dealt with Kou Clan's words and dealt with Qi Jue.
After hearing the details of the report, Cao Man pondered for a long time, then suddenly sneered, "Sister? It seems like Jiang Yiyi's sister is being held hostage by the Great Ensemble. No wonder. " As she turned around, she hesitated for a moment. "Even if Jiang Yi Yi wanted to die, why would he commit suicide now? Wouldn't it be safer to commit suicide in the Heavenly Court? "
Qi Jue: "Perhaps she's afraid that she won't have another chance to confess after going to the Heavenly Court, so she's taking advantage of this opportunity."
Cao Man: "I hope so too. I'm just afraid that Niu Youde is up to something. Do you think Niu Youde has already gotten something out of Jiang Yiyi?"
Qi Jue: "Logically speaking, that's not very likely. The Heavenly Court should be pressuring Niu Youde immediately after we sent him to the governor's manor. Since Niu Youde didn't kill Jiang Yiyi, how could he try to force his way through Jiang Yiyi? Jiang Yiyi was very stubborn. If he killed him … It won't be easy for him to explain himself. "
Cao Man said, "That makes sense. It doesn't matter if Niu Youde knows anything or not. The troublesome thing now is that Jiang Yiyi is dead. The Heavenly Court will definitely be very suspicious of us … How could there be such a loophole? What bad luck! "
The storm passed just like that. Those in the know did not say anything, and outsiders did not know what had happened. They only thought that the Pavilion of Integrity had captured Jiang Yiyi to give Niu Youde a chance to earn some merit. They didn't know that there was something fishy going on. In fact, many of them didn't even know that it was the Pavilion of Integrity that had sent Jiang Yiyi to Miao Yi. In fact, many things in the world were like this. There were some things that people who did not participate in would never know the secrets behind.
And because of this, Miao Yi had indeed made a great contribution. Jiang Yiyi was captured and executed, and to many of the officials in the Heavenly Court, it was a joyous occasion. Finally, they had one less person to worry about. If this traitor didn't die, there was no telling when he would come knocking on their door. And to those who had already suffered under his hands, it was an even greater relief.
Although Jiang Yiyi was just a pervert, he had a lot of influence. The execution of Jiang Yiyi caused the entire world to whisper to each other, especially after he fell into Miao Yi's hands. This caused Niu Youde's reputation to soar once again. However, there were also rumors that took advantage of the situation to add insult to injury. Some said that Niu Youde's wife had already been violated by Jiang Yiyi and so on. There were some who insisted on doing this, and there was nothing they could do about the noise. No one could shut everyone's mouths.
On the other hand, there were people in the Imperial Court who jumped out to help Miao Yi claim credit. Considering the influence, no one objected, and Miao Yi was successfully promoted three times in a row. He was promoted from one black armor segment to three black armor segments.
After sending off the messenger, Miao Yi returned to the main hall and shook his head. "I heard that the promotion went very smoothly this time. No one actually tried to interfere."
Yang Qing naturally knew who the person he was talking about was. Whoever had the intention to belittle Miao Yi was naturally the one trying to interfere. He smiled and said, "That person just didn't want Jiang Yiyi's matter to get any bigger, so he could only go with the flow. Otherwise, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been promoted three times in a row. Of course, it also has to do with the Kou Clan's influence in the Imperial Court. Otherwise, no one would help someone of Milord's level to speak up in the Imperial Court. If the Kou Clan didn't pressure him, I'm afraid that person would be happy to continue pretending to be ignorant. This is what it means to have someone in the Imperial Court. "
"Guilty conscience!" Miao Yi snorted and shook the armor in his hand, seemingly uninterested. "Is the difference between one black armor segment and four black armor segments meaningless to me?"
Yang Qing smiled. "It is still meaningful. At least it saved Milord the time to go back to the Imperial Court. The Kou Clan also knows that it won't be easy to get Milord out of the phantom city. So once Milord's rank is high enough, the phantom city's headquarters will no longer be able to accommodate Milord. When that time comes, the Kou Clan will have a legitimate reason to send Milord back to command an army. The Kou Clan should be looking forward to this. "
Now, Yang Qing could feel the change in Miao Yi's attitude towards him. Basically, Miao Yi would discuss everything with him first. At the very least, he had given Miao Yi enough authority in the phantom city. Now, other than Miao Yi, Yang Qing had the highest authority in the headquarters. This change made him very happy. At least, it meant that he had a certain level of trust in Miao Yi. Looking back, he realized that the incident in the Yuding Domain wasn't all that bad after all.
Miao Yi sighed. "I'm just afraid that there will be complications. There are still quite a lot of people who don't want to see this happen."
Yang Qing said, "At least with the Kou Clan exchanging benefits with the Xiahou Clan, Milord shouldn't have to worry too much about your safety in the phantom city. What happened to Jiang Yiyi is proof of that. When Milord goes to command the Kou Clan's Northern Army, you will have a large number of troops by your side. It will be difficult for outsiders to touch Milord. "
"Mm. For now, we can only take it one step at a time. Oh, right. Hurry up and make preparations for your return. "
"Your subordinate has already made the necessary preparations. I can return at any time."
Miao Yi nodded. He had barely managed to overcome the hurdle before him. However, there was still another problem that gave him a headache. What about Yue Yao?
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't keep it a secret from Yue Yao. In the end, he went to Qian'Er's room and looked for her.
Sitting quietly in the room, Yue Yao tilted her head to look at him. Then, she lowered her head again and played with the ribbons of her dress in silence.
Seeing how she could spout such crazy words, Miao Yi was afraid that something would happen to her, so he didn't remove the seal on her.
Miao Yi tilted his head and gestured for Qian'Er to close the door and leave. He then walked over to the main chair and sat down. After a moment of silence, Miao Yi was the first to speak. "Jiang Yiyi is dead."
Yue Yao's hand trembled as she played with the ribbons of her dress. Her fingers tugged at the ribbons as she quietly asked, "You killed him?"
Miao Yi lied and said, "No! He committed suicide by exploding his heart meridian … "He briefly explained the situation. No matter how protective he was of his little sister, he wouldn't tell her that Yun Zhiqiu was the one who forced Jiang Yiyi to his death, causing Yue Yao to hate Yun Zhiqiu for the rest of her life. They were already on bad terms, so there was no need for him to add to the mess.
Tears gradually welled up in Yue Yao's eyes. After all, Jiang Yiyi was a man she had once fallen in love with. Yet, his first awakening of love had ended in such a tragic way. Was that what she wanted to see? Two teardrops fell from her lowered eyes, but she quickly wiped them away. Her voice trembled as she said, "He deserved it. It's good that he died."
Miao Yi felt that her words were a little against her heart. She had experienced that kind of relationship between a man and a woman, and he was the first man she had ever fallen in love with. He felt terrible when he heard these words. After all, he was the cause of this ill-fated relationship. He was the one who had harmed his little sister. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
On the other hand, Yue Yao stood up and walked over. Lifting her skirt with both hands, she knelt down in front of Miao Yi and sobbed, "Big Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said such things. Big Brother, please scold me and hit me." Thinking back to how she had angered her Big Brother to the point of vomiting blood, she had always regretted it. However, she didn't know if her Big Brother would ever forgive her. She didn't know how to bring it up. Now that she saw that her Big Brother didn't seem to care about it, she regretted her reckless actions even more.
He shook his head and said, "Forget it. Back then, you spoke without thinking. If I were in your shoes, your sister-in-law would probably be even more anxious than you. It's all in the past now. There's no need for a family to brood over such a small matter. Get up."
Yue Yao shook her head and said, "Little Sister knows she was wrong. If Big Brother doesn't forgive me, I will continue to kneel here."
Miao Yi shrugged and smiled, "Haven't I already forgiven you? Hurry up and get up. "
Yue Yao raised her head and smiled through her tears. Who else in this world could be so forgiving towards her? As she thought about this, hot tears flowed down her cheeks again. She took two steps forward on her knees, then laid her head on Miao Yi's lap and bawled. She blamed herself and said, "Big Brother, Little Sister really knows she was wrong. Little Sister regrets it so much."
Miao Yi's eyes were also a little wet. Ever since he was young, he couldn't bear to see his younger siblings cry. The moment he saw them, he would think that he hadn't taken good care of them and had let down his adoptive parents. Back then, when his parents and two other adoptive parents passed away, there were people who said that he was the bane of his existence, the bane of his family. Even though he didn't admit it on the surface, he was still terrified deep down. He was worried that he would bring harm to his younger siblings again. And in reality, he was indeed the one who brought harm to his Little Sister this time. Taking a deep breath, he gently stroked the back of Yue Yao's head and sighed, "It's alright. It's all in the past! Don't worry about Jiang Yiyi anymore. My Little Sister is so beautiful and outstanding. I will definitely find a way to find you the best man in the world who will love my Little Sister the most. He definitely won't let her down. Don't worry, I will keep my word. "
Yue Yao lay on his lap and shook her head vigorously. Then, she lifted her head to wipe away her tears and said with a serious expression, "There are no good men in this world. Little Sister will never marry again in this lifetime!"
Miao Yi was shocked. The sudden pressure almost made it hard for him to breathe. It was the kind of pressure that came from him ruining his Little Sister's life. His expression darkened as he said, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting at such a young age? What do you mean by there are no good men in this world? How many men have you been with? How do you know that there are no good men in this world? Did Jiang Yiyi go so far as to destroy an entire ship of people? There are many good men in this world. You just haven't met them yet! "
Yue Yao shook her head. "This has nothing to do with Jiang Yiyi. It's not like I can't live without a man. I don't want to marry anymore. I really don't want to find another man."
