Given the current situation, he needed Yan Beihong's help in secret. When Yan Beihong received the news, he immediately rushed over without hesitation.
Yan Beihong was not needed here for the time being, and the Kou family's people were everywhere in the headquarter's manor, so it was inconvenient for Yan Beihong to stay there. It just so happened that Yan Xiu needed someone to protect him while he was cultivating his treasure. Moreover, the Liufeng Peak was located on Mount Dang Yin, so it wasn't too far from the Phantom City. If there was anything, he could be summoned at the last minute. Thus, he arranged for Yan Beihong to protect Yan Xiu.
Yang Zhaoqing was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Yan Xiu wouldn't let anyone know what he was about to do. Aside from the Madam's subordinates, it wasn't appropriate for anyone else to come into contact with him. Who did Miao Yi send to protect Yan Xiu? However, he would never ask Miao Yi anything he didn't want to talk about. He would ask what he should ask, and never ask what he shouldn't ask.
"Yes!" Yang Zhaoqing responded and left. Who knew that as soon as he walked to the door, he would meet Xu Tangran, who had come to pay a visit.
"Is His Excellency here?" Xu Tangran chuckled. His attitude was amiable. Towards the people around Miao Yi, his attitude had always been good. He had a completely new look about him.
"Inside." Yang Zhaoqing looked him up and down, but still subconsciously stood to the side and let him in, but he did not leave.
After receiving permission, Xu Tangran entered the room to pay his respects. Miao Yi walked out from the inner room and sat down. He couldn't help but look Xu Tangran up and down. He asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Xu Tangran smiled from ear to ear. "This subordinate just obtained a few pots of good wine, so I carefully prepared some dishes to go with the wine in my humble abode. I respectfully invite you to come."
As soon as he said that, Yang Zhaoqing, who was by the door, subconsciously touched his nose.
Miao Yi's expression stiffened slightly. Just a moment ago, he was still worried that he would lose his appetite after eating the things this guy made. Who would have thought that his worst fears would come true. This guy had just crawled out from that place, and as soon as he turned around, he made such a move. Wasn't he purposely trying to disgust him?
At least for the time being, Miao Yi wouldn't touch the delicacies made by Xu Tangran. He directly refused, "Forget it. I still have something to do. Let's talk about it later."
Xu Tangran was taken aback for a moment before nodding repeatedly. Alright, alright, we'll talk about it later. Sir, let's see when you're free. This subordinate will be waiting for you at any time. "He didn't ask what the matter was and quickly agreed. However, he didn't have the intention to leave.
Miao Yi shot him a glance and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Xu Tangran smiled modestly and clasped his hands together. He seemed a little hesitant, as if he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
Miao Yi furrowed his brows and said, "If you have something to say, spit it out quickly."
Xu Tangran was waiting for him to say this. He immediately obeyed. "Sir, it's like this. My wife, Linglong, misses Madam. I haven't seen Madam for a long time and I want to visit her. However, the entrance to the Heavenly King's residence is deep. I don't know if it's convenient?"
These words were meant to invite Miao Yi over. While they were eating and drinking, he had Xue Linglong interrupt and suggest it herself. Now that Miao Yi wasn't going, he had no choice but to suggest it himself.
Miao Yi didn't think too much of it. He just treated this guy's kind intentions as flattery because he was used to Xu Tangran's way of doing things. In fact, he was also prepared to send Fei Hong away to temporarily avoid danger. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "I don't necessarily have to enter the heavenly monarch's residence. Qiong Planet is so big that it shouldn't be without a place to stay. Let's go. Madam Ru is also going to visit Madam Ru. Zhao Qing! "
Yang Zhaoqing, who was at the door, immediately walked over. He cupped his fists and said, "Present!"
Miao Yi said, "Call Lin Pingping along as well. It's boring to stay in this dark phantom market for too long. While Madam Ru is still at the heavenly monarch's residence, this is a rare opportunity. There's no harm in taking this opportunity to visit Qiong Planet. You'll have many companions along the way. Later, arrange for the men of the heavenly monarch's residence to escort the three women. "
"Understood!" Yang Zhaoqing replied.
'Fei Hong and Lin Pingping are going as well?' Xu Tangran was pondering over this when he suddenly heard Miao Yi say, "Xu Tangran, there's something I need you to take care of."
Xu Tangran immediately snapped out of his thoughts and cupped his fists at Miao Yi, looking like he was all ears.
Miao Yi stood up from his chair and walked towards the window. As he did so, he said, "We still have the signboard of the phantom market's main town. It doesn't make sense for us to just sit here and watch those demons and ghosts make a fortune. How about this? You think of a way to secretly set up a few shops in the phantom market. We'll do some business as well. How about we set up twenty shops first? "
"Ah! Twenty? " Xu Tangran exclaimed in surprise. Soon after, he scratched his chin and said with a frown, "Milord, the Pavilion of Trustworthiness doesn't want the main town town to interfere in the phantom market. No matter how secretly we do it, it'll be hard to escape the eyes of the Pavilion of Trustworthiness. If the Pavilion of Trustworthiness doesn't agree, I'm afraid we won't be able to do this business. If we set up one or two shops, maybe the Pavilion of Trustworthiness will turn a blind eye to it. But if we set up twenty shops at once, I'm afraid it'll be a little difficult to handle. "
Even Yang Zhaoqing looked at Miao Yi in disbelief. He also felt that it was a little too much.
Miao Yi stared at the bright lights near and far outside the window, "Go ahead and do it. If you encounter any trouble from the Pavilion of Trustworthiness, you can tell me. I'll personally communicate with the Pavilion of Trustworthiness."
With these words, things would be easier to handle. At least he wouldn't have to bear the responsibility if he failed. Xu Tangran instantly regained his confidence. He patted his chest and said, "Milord, don't worry. Leave this matter to me. I'll handle it immediately … It's just that the shops in the phantom market are more expensive than those in Celestial Street. If we set up twenty shops …"
Miao Yi interrupted him, "I don't have the capital to give you. I don't care what method you use. I'll leave this matter to you."
'Are you kidding me?' Xu Tangran screamed in his heart. 'Doesn't this mean I have to pay for it?'
"What? If you think you can't do it, I can get someone else to do it. "Miao Yi turned around and looked at him.
Xu Tangran quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no. Milord misunderstood me. Since Milord has given the order, I will naturally go through fire and water without hesitation. I'm just thinking about what to do." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately regretted it. But he had already said it. How could he take it back? Besides, if he was given another chance, he would still agree.
Yang Zhaoqing looked at him. It seemed that he was really thinking of a way. He was frowning in deep thought, but no matter how he looked at it, it looked more like he was frowning.
After the two came out of Miao Yi's room together. "Sigh!" Xu Tangran sighed softly. He was a little listless. He even suspected that Miao Yi already knew what he had done and was deliberately messing with him.
"Is it difficult?" Yang Zhaoqing asked with a smile.
Xu Tangran said weakly, "Do you think this matter … is easy to handle?"
Yang Zhaoqing smiled, "Milord entrusted you with such an important task because he thinks highly of you."
"Haha!" Xu Tangran laughed dryly. In reality, he wanted to spit on Miao Yi's face.
Yang Zhaoqing said, "You really don't believe me. Later, later, I will give you something. It's a gift from Milord, a very valuable gift! I guarantee that you will enjoy it for the rest of your life! "
'A valuable gift from Milord?' Xu Tangran's eyes brightened, "What is it?"
"Wait for me to make some preparations. You will naturally know later." Yang Zhaoqing smiled meaningfully. After saying this, he strode away, leaving behind a confused Xu Tangran who repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay.
After returning to his own residence, Xu Tangran was still pondering.
On the other hand, Xue Linglong, who had come out to greet the guests, didn't see Miao Yi. She returned and asked, "Where is Milord?"
"Something came up, so he can't come." Xu Tangran casually replied as he sat on a chair.
'My preparations were in vain!' Xue Linglong sighed. She looked at the empty space outside the door and could only give up. She turned around and noticed that Xu Tangran's expression wasn't right. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Were you reprimanded by Milord? "
Xu Tangran shook his head slightly and muttered, "Milord agreed, but Madam Fei Hong and Lin Pingping will go with you."
Xue Linglong asked curiously, "Isn't that just what you wanted? Why are you still frowning? "
Xu Tangran wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. There were some things that men wouldn't say to women. After sending Fei Hong and Lin Pingping away, he suspected that his guess was right. Milord might really cause trouble in the Ghost City. If he said this, it would probably make Xue Linglong even more worried, so he swallowed his words.
Later that night, Yang Zhaoqing came as promised. He secretly talked with Xu Tangran in the quiet room.
Xue Linglong didn't know what they talked about. In short, when they came out, Xu Tangran had already swept away the dejected look on his face and became energetic again. He cheerfully personally sent Yang Zhaoqing out the door.
When they returned, Xue Linglong followed beside Xu Tangran and asked, "One moment you look bitter, the next moment you're all smiles. What's wrong?"
Xu Tangran flipped his hand and waved a jade archive in his hand. He clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't serve you in vain. Milord's great gift, Art of Origin!"
"Is it a cultivation technique?"
"Of course!"
"Is this Art of Origin very powerful?"
Xu Tangran hurriedly looked outside the door, waved his hand, and invoked a spell to close the door. Then he snickered and said, "At first, I thought I only heard the name of the same technique. But after reading the content, I guess it's the Art of Origin that I've heard of by chance. But Yang Zhaoqing said that this technique was passed down by Milord from Fire Shura's legacy. From what he said, Milord and Yang Zhaoqing don't even know the origin of this technique. We've really picked up a great treasure. I'll make a copy right now. When we get back, you can bring it to the Heavenly King's Residence to cultivate. As long as we master this technique, our future will be bright! "
Hearing him speak so seriously, Xue Linglong's eyes lit up. She said in surprise, "I've never heard of it either. What is the origin of this Art of Origin?"
