Yun Zhiqiu was silent for a moment. "Does my presence affect you?"
"Yes!" Miao Yi turned around and reached out to grab her hand. Their eyes met as he said, "Because I care about you. Your presence here will only distract me."
Women are naturally resistant to sweet words. Yun Zhiqiu was overwhelmed by the words' I care about you '. She was overwhelmed with emotions, and her eyes were filled with tenderness. However, on the surface, she still looked aggrieved as she said, "You've never been so serious. Even when you knew that the four armies were going to join forces to attack this place, you didn't ask Ji Meili and the others to retreat with you. You say that you can't tolerate the demonic monk's arrogance, but in reality, you're not confident either, are you? Just like you said, there must be something extraordinary about the old monster. Otherwise, the Heavenly Court wouldn't be on guard against it. "
Naturally, Miao Yi wouldn't admit it. "I had you guys retreat just in case. Even after losing his physical body and transcendence energy, he was still able to escape from Lord Qing and the Buddhist Lord. He was indeed not as good as he was in the past. He had lost all of his magic power and it was difficult for him to recover his physical body. If we were to fight one on one, he would not be my match at all. In terms of power and manpower, what did he have? Now, the world is no longer his world. The hearts of the people are aligned, and no one wants him to make a comeback. The Celestial Court has already set up strict defensive measures, and it's difficult for him to even get close to me. He doesn't dare to show his face in public, and he won't be able to achieve anything. His crooked ways are useless against me, but I'm worried that he'll use them on you guys. "
Yun Zhiqiu fell silent once more. She couldn't help but admit that Miao Yi's words made sense. With the demonic monk's current strength, he probably wouldn't dare to face Miao Yi head-on. However, if he wanted to obtain the item in Miao Yi's possession, he would definitely try his best to get his hands on the people close to Miao Yi. Moreover, everyone in the world knew that Miao Yi was willing to risk his life for her, so she would definitely be the demonic monk's first target.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yun Zhiqiu was a sensible woman. After a moment of silence, she relented. "You need someone to take care of you. Let Qian 'er and Xue' er stay behind to take care of you."
Miao Yi shook his head. "No need. Fei Hong is enough. If it wasn't for the fact that we're afraid of arousing suspicion from the Left Supervisory Department, it would be best to bring Fei Hong along. "
At a time like this, Yun Zhiqiu had no choice but to follow Miao Yi's decision. He went back to talk to Fei Hong, reminding her to be careful and take good care of Miao Yi.
Naturally, Fei Hong would not reject this. At least for the time being, this man belonged to her alone. Even if she wanted to take care of Miao Yi, there weren't many opportunities for her to do so. After all, the main wife was there, and because of her background, she didn't have the confidence to fight for his favor.
A few days later, in the Immeasurable Heaven, Yun Zhiqiu, Qian 'er, Xue' er, Lin Pingping, Ji Meili, and Yun Zhiqiu. Paper curls? Handsome, Hot Boat Wasp still? Slack
"Madam!" Qin Weiwei, who had heard the news in advance, led Hong Chen and Yue Yao to welcome her at the entrance.
Yun Zhiqiu fixed his gaze on Yue Yao and sighed inwardly. What the hell is this!
She was a little regretful that she had agreed to let Miao Yi marry Yue Yao back then. She realized that Miao Yi couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. He didn't treat Yue Yao like a woman at all. As far as she knew, Miao Yi had never touched Yue Yao before. What a sin!
After all these years, Yue Yao's edges seemed to have been smoothed out by the passage of time. Her expression was calm and peaceful, and she was no longer as irritated with Yun Zhiqiu as she had been in the past. Perhaps it was more accurate to say that she had resigned herself to her fate. She didn't have to worry about food or clothing, and could peacefully cultivate in peace.
Yun Zhiqiu knew that giving Yue Yao this kind of life was the best for someone like Miao Yi, who lived by the edge of a knife. There would be no danger, and he would live in peace. However, Yun Zhiqiu had to admit that Miao Yi didn't understand women at all. This might not be the kind of life Yue Yao wanted.
"It's rare for us sisters to get together. There's no need for formalities." Yun Zhiqiu went up to help Qin Weiwei up, then gestured for the others to rise.
The group of women entered, and a banquet was already waiting for them.
At the banquet, Yun Zhiqiu announced that they wouldn't be returning to the higher realms for the time being, and that they would be able to go wherever they wanted in the lower realms. She wanted to take this opportunity to relax.
However, in the following days, Yun Zhiqiu went to each of the women to have a heart-to-heart talk. She also wanted to take this rare opportunity to understand their thoughts and work hard to stabilize the inner quarters …
News of the Demonic Monk Nan Bo's reappearance inevitably spread throughout the realm, and the entire world was shocked. Many of the younger generation had never even heard of this person before. This time, all sorts of rumors were dug up, and it was truly an eye-opener. It turned out that such an amazing person existed in the early days of the world.
Outside the stargate, several people arrived together. A group of Celestial Court troops waved their hands and shouted, "Halt! Reveal your Bier Avatar! "
Some of the people who flew over were trying to conceal themselves, but they had no choice but to remove their disguises and reveal the Avatar on their foreheads.
After confirming their identities, the Celestial Court troops guarding the stargate let them pass.
It wasn't just here. All the stargates under the Celestial Court's jurisdiction had people stationed to investigate, and the people who came and went knew the reason behind it.
At the gate of Sky Street, people came and went. Everyone who wanted to enter had to reveal their Avatar on their foreheads before they could enter.
"Excuse me, sir. Please reveal your Bier Avatar."
A worker at the entrance of a shop cupped his hands and apologized to the customers entering the shop.
On Planet Zhennan, outside the gate of the Vitality Sect, a disciple guarding the gate reached out and stopped Bao Lian. "Uncle, please reveal your Bier Avatar."
Bao Lian glared at him. "Am I faking it? Get out of my way! "
The disciple smiled bitterly and bowed. "Uncle, the sect leader has decreed that anyone who resists will be severely punished. We cannot afford to be punished, so please forgive us."
From a pavilion not far away, a general from the Nether World walked out and shouted, "Miss Bao Lian, this is the Governor's order. Please cooperate."
When Bao Lian heard the words "Governor," she became angry. She revealed the Rainbow Lotus Avatar on her forehead and yelled, "Can I enter now?"
"Uncle, please!" The disciple awkwardly stepped aside.
After entering the gate, Bao Lian went straight to the Vitality Palace. She found the leader, Yuling Zhenren, and said angrily, "Grandpa, what is Niu Youde trying to do? He has sent soldiers to the Vitality Sect. Isn't he being too nosy?"
Yuling Zhenren sighed. "You know what happened to Demon Monk Nan Bo. There is nothing wrong with being more vigilant. Besides, there was no interference. It did not interfere with the daily operations of the Vitality Sect. It was just an extra layer of inspection."
Bao Lian coldly said, "The Vitality Sect will investigate ourselves. He does not need to interfere. Tell him to withdraw his soldiers."
Yuling Zhenren looked at her strangely. He stroked his beard and was silent for a while. Then, he asked, "Do you still hold a grudge against him?"
When Bao Lian heard this, she felt uncomfortable. "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Yuling Zhenren shook his head and smiled wryly. "There is something that I don't know how to tell you. Niu Youde's wife, Yun Zhiqiu, came to talk to me about you."
Bao Lian looked wary. "That woman came to talk to you about me? What does she want? Does she think I'm an eyesore? "
"Sigh! Don't be so angry. You misunderstood. You are overthinking things. " Sect Master Yuling shook her head. "Madam Niu is here to apologize. She said that Governor-General Niu has always been decisive when doing things. He often doesn't care about the details. She said that Gao Yan's matter was a result of Governor-General Niu's lack of consideration, causing rumors to spread everywhere. Everyone believes that you have an unclean relationship with Niu Youde, tarnishing your reputation and delaying your future. Madam Niu wanted me to ask you for your opinion. If you don't mind being a concubine, then she can make the decision. She can choose a good day for Niu Youde to marry you. She can promise you that she will not mistreat you. Little girl, now that we have spoken, I want to ask you. Are you willing to marry him? If you are, our family will not object. I will talk to Madam Niu about this later. "
When Bao Lian heard this, her heart raced. Her face turned as red as a monkey's butt. She stubbornly said, "That woman is up to no good."
Yuling Zhenren nodded. "If you want to put it that way, then she is up to no good. Madam Niu's words had a hidden meaning. She also mentioned the Vitality Sect. She said that the people of the Vitality Sect who have reached the Colorful Lotus Tier should be recruited by the Sky Court. From what she said, after Niu Youde marries you, he probably wants me to step down. He wants me to give up the position of Sect Leader to you. That way, Governor-General Niu can support the Vitality Sect to become one of the top sects in the world. "
Bao Lian lowered his head and mumbled, "What difference is there between her and Gao Yan?"
Yuling Zhenren said, "Something like that. There are differences. Niu Youde is different from the Guang family. At least you like him, don't you?"
Bao Lian immediately looked up. She panicked and said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? I don't like him."
Yuling Zhenren teased, "Little girl, you are not young anymore. You are already an old lady. Tell me, are you going to marry him or not?"
"No!" Bao Lian said and ran away. She was so embarrassed that her ears turned red.
"Hehe!" Yuling Zhenren chuckled and shook his head. It had been so many years, and he knew what his granddaughter was thinking. Niu Youde did not agree to the marriage proposal in the past, but now that Niu Youde had come looking for him, there was no difficulty. He could fulfill his granddaughter's wishes. The Vitality Sect needed Niu Youde's protection.
However, he still had to think about this carefully. He had to get the consensus of the others in the sect before he could make a decision. He knew that Yun Zhiqiu often came here, and he could tell that Bao Lian was interested in Niu Youde. The fact that Yun Zhiqiu had brought this up meant that she wanted the Vitality Sect as a dowry.
If he couldn't get the consensus of the sect to let Bao Lian become the Sect Master, the Vitality Sect would face a crisis once Bao Lian married Niu Youde. Niu Youde was such a powerful man, and he would definitely want to help Bao Lian ascend to the position. When that happened, the Vitality Sect might even start a bloodbath. Judging from Niu Youde's past behavior, he would definitely do something like that if he was angered. There was no way the Vitality Sect could withstand Niu Youde's army.
Yuling didn't want to see this happen. He couldn't bring disaster to the Vitality Sect just for his granddaughter's sake. If that happened, even if Bao Lian became the Sect Master, it wouldn't be fair. That was why he hadn't given Yun Zhiqiu an answer yet …
It wasn't just the Vitality Sect. All the other sects in the realm had to conduct checks. Everyone who entered and exited their sects had to have their Transcendence verified. Every disciple had to go through the checks every day, and the Heavenly Court had also sent inspectors to every sect.
This kind of verification process had also been passed down to all the armies. Everyone from the top to the bottom had to follow it. Miao Yi's Netherworld Army followed it strictly, and they even raised the requirements. Even Miao Yi himself had to go through the verification process.
Every Starry Gate had people from the Heavenly Court verify the Transcendence of the people who entered and exited the Celestial Street. Every shop, including the black markets, had to follow the verification process.
