Miao Yi tilted his head to look at her. This woman's words surprised him once again. Even though she had only exposed the truth, it was still suspicious of her slandering the Blue Night Bodhisattva. In other words, this kind of thing wouldn't be said to an outsider at this time and place. Miao Yi admitted that he didn't have much of a relationship with this woman. Was she trying to be friendly or was she plotting something?
He couldn't figure out what this woman's goal was, but he could feel her kindness when they first met. He could see it from the way she looked at him. Of course, he wouldn't think that this woman had fallen in love with him at first sight. He wasn't that charming yet, so he had to think it through.
He didn't express his thoughts, but pretended to be enlightened, "Power of Will? So it's the Power of Will that changed the world! It seems this Power of Will isn't as simple as it seems. Not only is it beneficial for cultivation, but it's also unfathomable! "
Cao Fengchi smiled, "The Power of Will is the human heart. Not only can it gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but it can also stir up the winds and clouds. There's another saying that goes, 'Sincerity can split open metal and stone'. As long as one is sincere, nothing is impossible. Sincerity brings results. There's another saying, 'The human heart is hard to fathom'. Isn't this what you mean by unfathomable? Buddhism cultivates the mind. You have a better grasp of this aspect than ordinary cultivators. "
"Hehe, now that you mention it, it makes sense." Miao Yi nodded as if he was enlightened.
"Since Lord Mayor wishes to stay and learn, Fengchi will take my leave now. I'll see you at the Phantom City." Cao Fengchi bowed slightly and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, the words' Fengchi 'seemed to have triggered something in Miao Yi. He suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Cao Fengchi stopped and turned around, smiling, "What other orders do you have, Lord Mayor?"
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at her, "Who are you to the Xiahou family?"
Cao Fengchi smiled without saying a word, then turned around and walked away again.
"Xiahou Longcheng, Xiahou Hucheng, Cao Fengchi, Xiahou Fengchi, Longcheng, Hucheng, Fengchi. Longcheng, Fengchi, who is Xiahou Longcheng to you? Is he your elder brother? "Miao Yi blurted out a series of names.
"Commander, you're thinking too much." Cao Fengchi, who was walking with his back to the commander, replied lightly without turning his head. Then, he floated away.
"Dragon City's Phoenix Pool …" Miao Yi stared at her departing silhouette as he continued to mutter to himself. The more he muttered, the more he felt that it was possible. Then, when he recalled Xiahou Hucheng's friendly attitude towards him, he felt that his guess was very likely correct.
However, there was one thing that he didn't understand. Even if Xiahou Longcheng was their elder brother, Xiahou Longcheng was still their elder brother. What did it have to do with their friendliness towards him?
It was because he didn't know that although Xiahou Longcheng was a scoundrel, he meant different things to Feng Chi and Hu Cheng. In the eyes of others, he was a scoundrel, but in the eyes of the two of them, he was an irreplaceable existence. Xiahou Longcheng's passing had become an indelible pain in their hearts. Lord Miao was Xiahou Longcheng's only friend.
"Milord!" Yan Xiu came up from the foot of the mountain and appeared beside Miao Yi. He asked, "Can we move now?"
Miao Yi looked around and asked, "Why isn't Miao Cun here yet?"
Even though he had the star map, he was still an outsider, and it was inconvenient for the son-in-law of Heavenly King Kou to run around in the territory of the Blissful Realm. It was better for a Buddhist to lead the way.
Yan Xiu immediately took out his Star Bell and contacted Miao Cun.
Miao Yi saw the Star Bell in his hand shaking for a long time. He furrowed his brows and asked, "What is it?"
Yan Xiu replied, "There's no reply."
"Oh!" Miao Yi looked towards the Blue Night Temple. "After all, there are many guests here. There might be something. Let's contact them later."
The two of them waited in place for almost an hour. All the guests had left, but Miao Cun still hadn't come out. During this time, Yan Xiu tried to contact him several times, but Miao Cun still didn't respond. The two of them couldn't help but worry that something had happened.
But right at this moment. A group of people came out of the Blue Night Temple. Leading them was Lay Practitioner Pu Lan, dressed as a Buddhist goddess. With a smile on his face, he walked over with a group of attendants.
As they approached, both parties greeted each other. Lay Practitioner Pu Lan smiled and said, "Is Head Mayor Niu waiting for Miao Cun?"
Miao Yi was stunned that the other party knew of Miao Cun. He nodded and said, "Yes! Is Lay Practitioner going back now? "
Lay Practitioner Pu Lan said, "I heard from Miao Cun that Head Mayor Niu has just arrived in the Blissful Realm and wants to take a look around. It just so happens that I want to travel around as well. Hence, I decided to help Commander Niu back off. This poor monk will lead the way for Commander Niu, is that okay? "
Miao Yi felt that Lay Practitioner Pu Lan was mocking him earlier in the grand hall, so he felt a little repulsed by this woman. He casually declined, "Lay Practitioner, you have a noble status. Besides, there is a difference between men and women. I dare not trouble you."
Lay Practitioner Pu Lan smiled and said, "Do you think Head Mayor Niu's status is lower than mine? As for the difference between men and women, could Head Mayor Niu not see that Miao Cun is a woman? "
Her words were almost teasing, which made Miao Yi feel even more annoyed. It was so obvious. Even an idiot could tell that he was trying to find an excuse to decline her offer. Who would have thought that Lay Practitioner Pu Lan wouldn't take it seriously at all. Miao Yi didn't know what else to say.
Since he didn't say anything, he took it as a yes. At least, that was what Lay Practitioner Pu Lan thought. She turned to the people behind her and said, "There's no need for so many people to follow me. Head Mayor Niu and I will travel together."
However, the attendants behind her seemed a little worried. One of them put his palms together and said, "Lay Practitioner, why don't you bring two people with you?" They weren't worried about Lay Practitioner Pu Lan's safety in the Pure Bliss Realm. There was no one in the Pure Bliss Realm who would dare to touch Lay Practitioner Pu Lan. However, they shot a glance at Miao Yi, as though implying something.
Lay Practitioner Pu Lan didn't try to hide it either. She said bluntly, "You're all worrying too much. Head Mayor Niu is a hero known throughout the world. He doesn't care about petty matters. Go."
The group of holy ladies didn't dare to say anything else. They all put their palms together and retreated, eventually taking to the skies.
Miao Yi looked at the departing figures in the sky and mocked himself, "A hero known throughout the world? Sir, you're overestimating me. I'm not some righteous gentleman. Everyone in the Heavenly Court knows that, and there are many people who scold me. Could it be that you've never heard of it? "
Unexpectedly, Lay Practitioner Pu Lan firmly said without hesitation, "The world is full of lies. Their words may not necessarily be the truth. At the very least, this humble monk has faith in Lord Head Mayor."
"Oh!" Miao Yi was a little surprised. He turned around and met her clear and resolute gaze. Surprised, he asked, "Why do you have so much faith in me, Lay Practitioner?"
Lay Practitioner Pu Lan tilted her head to look at Yan Xiu, hinting at something. However, Miao Yi acted as though he didn't understand. He didn't ask Yan Xiu to step down.
Lay Practitioner Pu Lan fell silent for a moment. She probably deduced that Yan Xiu was Miao Yi's absolute confidant. Then, she stared into Miao Yi's eyes and calmly said, "This humble monk is from Planet Non-Phase. Come to think of it, I even met Lord Mayor Niu once a long time ago. At that time, Lord Mayor Niu was compassionate, chivalrous, and outstanding. At that time, this humble monk was certain that Lord Mayor Niu was an extraordinary person. Later on, I heard of Lord Mayor Niu's fame, and as expected, your achievements were extraordinary. Now that I've met you, your appearance hasn't changed, but your demeanor is even more impressive than before! "The expression on her face was one of sorrow as she reminisced about the past.
'They know each other? ' Yan Xiu's expressionless face was clearly taken aback as he looked at Miao Yi.
Miao Yi was also flabbergasted. Previously, he had guessed that he didn't know if this woman was around when he was on Planet Non-Phase. He didn't expect that they actually knew each other.
Taking a step back, he furrowed his brows and looked Lay Practitioner Pu Lan up and down. After that, he stared at Lay Practitioner Pu Lan's dignified face in a rather rude manner. He racked his brains and thought about everything he had experienced on Planet Non-Phase, but he really didn't have any impression of her. He really couldn't remember where he had seen this woman before. He couldn't help but ask, "Do you mean to say that we know each other?"
Lay Practitioner Pu Lan smiled and nodded in confirmation.
Miao Yi rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. Then, he laughed dryly and said, "I am a careless person. I wonder if Lord Mayor can point me in the direction of where we met before?" It was a little rude to meet someone he had met before. The other party knew him, but he didn't know her. Add that to the other party's status, and he couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
Lay Practitioner Pu Lan didn't say that Miao Yi was forgetful. He simply shook his head and smiled. "It's reasonable that you can't remember. It's also clear that Lord Mayor didn't have any intention of repaying me for my kindness back then. You didn't take it to heart at all. If I were to mention some things again, it might not necessarily be a good thing for both Lord Mayor and me. All Lord Mayor needs to know is that if it weren't for Lord Mayor's kindness back then, I wouldn't be where I am today. I have no ill intentions towards Lord Mayor Niu. "
The expression on Miao Yi's face grew more and more interesting. He rubbed his chin and grinned, looking like he was having a toothache.
She had received his kindness before? Was there anyone on Planet Non-Phase who had received his kindness before? Was it someone from the Vitality Sect? If it was someone from the Vitality Sect, he should have some impression of her. Besides, it was impossible for someone from the Vitality Sect to come to the Western Paradise to become a monk and have such a background. Without him, she wouldn't be where she was today? She had to be joking. He had never pushed anyone into the Buddhist school, and it was impossible for him to help anyone obtain such a position in the Buddhist school. He had never interacted with anyone from the Buddhist school here at all.
He felt that this Buddhist lady was spouting nonsense, but judging from her expression, it didn't seem like she was lying. Besides, there was no need for her to tease him with such a matter. What was going on?! Miao Yi was a little frustrated. He really couldn't recall doing anything that he had done for no reason. However, he was still a hot-blooded youth in the past. There were things that he wouldn't do now, but he might have done them in the past. He smiled bitterly and said, "You're really keeping me in suspense. I might as well remind you a little more."
Lay Buddhist Pu Lan smiled faintly. He had no intention of continuing on this topic, so he changed the topic and said, "I wonder where Lord Mayor Niu wishes to go? This humble monk is willing to lead the way."
Miao Yi helplessly rubbed his forehead. If the other party didn't want to tell him, then he wouldn't force him either. With a slight teasing tone, he replied, "I wish to take a look at the Spiritual Mountain. I wonder if Lay Buddhist Pu Lan can lead the way?" This was like going to the Heavenly Palace for a stroll. Of course, the situation in the Heavenly Palace was different from the Spiritual Mountain. The most inferior example would be going to the Imperial Garden for a stroll, and asking if Lay Buddhist Pu Lan could arrange it. Was the Imperial Garden a place that anyone could visit?
