"Thank you, Godfather!" Miao Yi cupped his fists in thanks.
Kou Lingxu released a hand from behind him and waved it off. "We're a family. Just tell me if you have any other requests."
Miao Yi pondered for a moment. "Nothing for now. I'll trouble you when I remember."
"Heh! You're really blunt. " Kou Lingxu snorted and waved his hand. "Alright, if there's nothing else, go back and accompany Old Seven. You can't stay here for too long. You should go back to the Ghost City as soon as possible and spend more time with her. As for the replacement of the phantom market's personnel, Old Tang will contact you. "
Old Tang nodded. "Young Master, I will contact you immediately once everything is settled."
"Thank you, Uncle Tang." Miao Yi cupped his fists in thanks and took his leave.
After watching him leave, Old Tang turned around and asked, "Master, are you really going to let him cause trouble in the phantom market?"
Kou Lingxu replied, "He's right. As long as he doesn't betray me, Master Qing won't let him leave the phantom market. He'll remain in custody. We can protect him now, but we can't protect him forever. With the current situation, it's useless to keep him in our hands. Once he's in danger, what should we do? Save him or not? All the families want him dead. It's not worth it for our Kou family to deal with them for a long time. But if we don't save him, our reputation won't be good either. It's good to let him cause some trouble. It'll be best if he can return to the Northern Army and serve the Kou family just as he said. If he doesn't succeed and dies in the hands of those families, then this matter will be settled. "
Kou Zheng and Tang Henian both had a pensive look on their faces. They naturally understood what 'settled' meant. Niu Youde being imprisoned in the phantom market by Master Qing had indeed put the Kou family in a passive position. This was something they hadn't expected. The Fire Asura disciple they'd spent so much effort to recruit had become a burden. Since he was no longer useful, perhaps dying in the hands of those families wasn't necessarily the best choice.
Both of them now understood why Kou Lingxu agreed to Niu Youde's conditions so readily. Helping him as much as he could was a show to the outside world. Otherwise, if he gave up on the person he'd spent so much effort to recruit, what would his subordinates think? Wouldn't they be disappointed?
"Sigh!" Tang Henian sighed softly. Some things were indeed different in the past, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "Actually, I have to admit that this kid is indeed outstanding. He actually had the guts to wrestle with those few families. Just this courage alone was not something an ordinary person could compare to. At the level of Heaven's Avenue's Grand Commander, when others are still thinking about how to climb up and how to fish for benefits, this guy is actually developing his own forces? "She was referring to what Miao Yi had said earlier about using his authority in Heaven's Avenue to make friends with people from all walks of life.
"Boss, you heard what Niu Youde said." Kou Lingxu turned to look at Kou Zheng. He solemnly warned, "He has drive, ruthlessness, and determination. Once the environment is unfavorable to him, he will risk his life. This kind of person might be the stupidest, but at the same time, it is also the most terrifying. Because successful people are often like this, they will create opportunities for themselves when there are no opportunities, unlike those who are indecisive, indecisive, and only know how to wait for opportunities. How many opportunities in the world can wait for? If he succeeded, then he would be successful and famous. If he failed, then he would only have a rotten life. This was the huge difference between rising from the grassroots and the children of the rich and powerful! You have been sheltered by your families since you were young. Without experiencing any setbacks, the only things you can learn are the trickery of what you have achieved. Don't rely on trickery for everything. Don't wallow in it, thinking that you are clever and complacent. It is foolish to go around in circles for too long. When you meet someone who doesn't beat around the bush and directly stabs you, you will not know what to do. There are many things you can learn from Niu Youde. "
"Yes! Your son has learned his lesson. "Kou Zheng cupped his fists and bowed deeply.
As Miao Yi walked out of the garden with a heavy heart, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks. He lifted his head to look at the words' Yun Xuan 'that Kou Lingxu had personally written on the porch.
At this point … Kou Lingxu, on the other hand, had no intention of letting Yun Zhiqiu leave the heavenly monarch's estate. Of course, he understood why Yun Zhiqiu was staying here. Yet, he had left his wife as a hostage outside. This made him feel guilty.
But now that he thought about it … Letting Yun Zhiqiu stay here was not necessarily a bad thing. At least she would be safe. What he was about to do in the phantom market was not suitable for Yun Zhiqiu to take risks with him. If he succeeded, he would be able to get Yun Zhiqiu's freedom. But if he failed, he would probably die a horrible death. After his death, the Kou family would no longer have any value in keeping Yun Zhiqiu captive. Yun Zhiqiu, on the other hand, had all the connections and resources he had left behind. Her future wouldn't be a problem. Ji Meili and the others also had their own backgrounds to rely on. Even if he died, it wouldn't affect them too much.
As for the others, death was like an extinguished candle. He couldn't care less about them.
With nothing to worry about in the future, Miao Yi suddenly took a deep breath. He felt like he could finally face those bastards without worry!
Putting aside his gloomy mood, he put on a smile and strode into Yun Xuan's quarters.
Soon, Xue 'Er's voice called out from inside, "Madam, Milord has returned."
Soon, Yun Zhiqiu led Qian 'Er out from the rear courtyard, adorned with ornaments. The golden dangling ornament on her hair shone brightly, making her look even more beautiful than a flower.
As he approached, Yun Zhiqiu looked him up and down, then said, "Why are you smiling? Did something good happen? Is someone's beauty about to come knocking on your door again? "
Miao Yi lifted her chin and said, "I wonder who was the one who begged for mercy last night. Now that you've put on your clothes, you're going to be so unforgiving?"
'Smack!' Yun Zhiqiu slapped his hand away. She was so embarrassed that her cheeks blushed as she recalled the night before. She lifted her skirt and kicked him in the calf in embarrassment and annoyance. "You're a shameless b * tch. Don't you know what's good for you?"
Qian 'Er and Xue' Er both pursed their lips and giggled. It seemed like they would only get to see Madam being humiliated in front of Milord after that.
Yun Zhiqiu glared at the two of them, and they immediately put on serious expressions, pretending they hadn't heard anything.
"You wretch!" Yun Zhiqiu reached out and pinched Miao Yi's waist again, then hooked her arm around his as they walked towards the inner courtyard. She asked, "Is everything alright now?"
Miao Yi replied casually, "What could possibly happen? I just wanted an explanation from both sides. The Blue Night Bodhisattva has already brought his men back."
As for his conversation with the Kou family and what he was about to do, he didn't want to tell her so she wouldn't worry.
"It's good that you're alright." Yun Zhiqiu patted her ample chest and let go of Miao Yi after they entered the pavilion. She took a cup of tea from Qian 'Er and handed it to Miao Yi, then sat across from him. After Miao Yi had a sip of tea to moisten his throat, she transmitted her voice over to him, "I had to hurry. I finally managed to compare the two maps before you returned to the phantom city. I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything even if I try to compare them in detail. We'll have to verify it on the spot to be sure."
"Oh!" Miao Yi put down his cup and asked, "What's the result?"
Yun Zhiqiu replied, "You guessed correctly. One of the star maps might be the secret passage to and from the Realm of Pure Bliss. The starting point of the other star gate is within the Realm of Pure Bliss, so it should be the passage that leads out of the Realm of Pure Bliss. As for the exact location of the star gate, it's in an unknown region of the Realm of Pure Bliss. I'm afraid we'll have to follow the map if we want to find it. The starting point of the other Starry Door is at the Heavenly Court, and the location of the Starry Door is also in an unknown region. According to the map of the Purgatory Grounds and the intention of the person who hid the treasure, the other Starry Door should lead to the Western Paradise Realm. "
Miao Yi nodded and asked, "What about the other map?"
At the mention of the other map, Yun Zhiqiu's brows furrowed slightly. She seemed to have something to say, but hesitated. She looked like she didn't know whether she should say it or not.
Miao Yi was confused. "Is there something you can't tell me? What's wrong? You're not cheating on me, are you? "
"Go to hell!" Yun Zhiqiu glared at him and immediately flew into a rage. In a flash, she grabbed Miao Yi's hair, grabbed him by the neck, and then slammed his head onto the table. It was a brutal scene, and Qian 'Er and Xue' Er's teeth ached at the sight of it. Fortunately, the two of them were already used to it.
Little did they know that Yun Zhiqiu could make any kind of joke, except for 'cheating'. She didn't show it on the surface, but deep down, she was a very traditional person. Because of her past with Feng Xuan, her heart was still very fragile. Especially when she heard Miao Yi say something like that, it made her feel even more agitated. This had basically become her weakness for the rest of her life. "You b * tch.
Are you crazy? Can't I just make a joke? "Miao Yi forcefully stood up and pushed her away.
Yun Zhiqiu placed her hands on her hips and said, "Speak clearly. Who's the one cheating on me? You've been flirting behind my back, and you still have the cheek to talk about me? "
At the mention of flirting, Miao Yi immediately thought of Huangfu Jun? Y scoffed as he sat down. "Are you crazy? It's just a question about a map. Is there a need for such a huge reaction? Hurry up and tell me. What's going on? "
Yun Zhiqiu had only poked at Miao Yi's soft spot, and it was only a momentary reaction. She understood that Miao Yi didn't really mean it, so she scoffed and sat back down. She lifted her skirt and crossed her legs, then narrowed her eyes and said, "Admit your mistake first."
Qian 'Er and Xue' Er looked at each other speechlessly. They lowered their heads and sighed. They really didn't know what to say about this couple. How could they get into a fight over a small matter?
"Fine! I admit my mistake, alright? " Miao Yi didn't really mean what he said as he admitted his mistake. However, deep down, he was furious. 'I have time anyway. I'll let you suffer tonight, you slut!'
Yun Zhiqiu scoffed as she slowly calmed herself down. However, her brows furrowed again. She pondered for a moment before saying, "Niu Er, I'm just guessing about that map. Don't get too worked up after you hear me out."
"Worked up?" Miao Yi was both annoyed and amused. "It's just a map from who knows how many years ago. Do I have to get worked up? I've long since been pissed off by you. Is your man such an impatient person? "
Yun Zhiqiu rolled her eyes and pursed her lips. "You're the one who said I'm not in a rush. Then listen carefully. I suspect that the final destination marked on that map is the same place that your little brother is currently trapped in."
