However, Miao Yi didn't answer her question. Instead, he stared at her and slowly asked, "I told you before that I had Ba Jie go into seclusion for his own good. Why didn't you tell me that he secretly came out from his seclusion to meet with you?"
"..." Yu Luocha was speechless. The shocked expression on her face froze. She asked why the demonic monk had suddenly brought this up. She said awkwardly, "Big Brother, it is normal for a man and a woman to have feelings for each other. How can you tell a third party about the private matters between husband and wife?"
"So that's how it is!" Miao Yi had a look of realization on his face, but there was also a hint of mockery in his voice. He stared at her and nodded, saying, "Other than meeting with you, Ba Jie also had a private meeting with another woman. That woman was pregnant with Ba Jie's child, so Ba Jie eloped with her. Unfortunately, they ran into the demonic monk Nan Bo …"
There was anger, resentment, schadenfreude, fear, and sadness. She resented Ba Jie, the heartless bastard. She rejoiced at Ba Jie's narrow escape from death. She rejoiced at Mu Na's tragic death. She was saddened that Grandmaster Qi Jie actually died trying to save Ba Jie, the heartless bastard. She also understood why Miao Yi asked her this question. If she hadn't helped Ba Jie conceal the truth, Miao Yi would have long since taken care of him. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened, and Grandmaster Qi Jie wouldn't have died a tragic death.
She was momentarily speechless. Mu Na's tragic death had soothed her anger considerably. She was partly responsible for Grandmaster Qi Jie's death as well. Not to mention, she was the one who had caused Grandmaster Qi Jie to participate in this dharma assembly because of her blabbering. She couldn't really blame Ba Jie right now. However, she still asked angrily, "Where is that bastard Ba Jie?"
Miao Yi gazed into the distance. After the incident, Yun Zhiqiu immediately contacted Ba Jie after learning of the situation. However, Ba Jie simply told Yun Zhiqiu to 'convert to Buddhism' before disappearing. Meanwhile, Yan Xiu, who was lying in ambush at the entrance of the secret passageway, had also witnessed Ba Jie entering the Western Paradise Realm. He could roughly guess where Ba Jie had gone to, but he still replied, "After I rescued him, I told him that I wouldn't scold him anymore. I wouldn't beat him up anymore, and I wouldn't bother with him anymore. He can do whatever he wants. I can't control the two of you either. He can go wherever he wants.
Yu Luocha sighed in her heart, cursing Ba Jie for being a bastard. She could sense that Ba Jie had really hurt this big brother of hers. She didn't know what to say either. In order to save Ba Jie, he had even given the Blood Lotus to the demonic monk. Once the demonic monk made a comeback, one could imagine the pressure this big brother would have to bear.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Eight abstinences are eight abstinences. Big brother, don't vent your anger on Heart Lake."
Miao Yi coldly replied, "Even if I don't care about the monk, I will. With you around, Jade Face Buddha, I wouldn't dare to offend your son."
Yu Luocha was embarrassed. She knew that Miao Yi was venting his anger on her for helping Ba Jie hide the truth, resulting in such a huge incident. She said guiltily, "We are family, after all. Big Brother, you are making me feel ashamed. Ba Jie, that bastard. Don't let me find him. If I do, I will definitely teach him a good lesson for you! "
Miao Yi didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he changed the topic and said, "Nan Bo has obtained the Blood Lotus, so he might make a comeback at any time. There are some things that cannot be made public. Since Nan Bo knows about the secret passageway, I suspect that he has always wanted to enter the Western Paradise Realm. As such, you must remind the Lord Buddha to strengthen the defenses in the Western Paradise Realm."
Yu Luocha nodded. "The secret passageway leads to this exit. It seems I will have to arrange for someone to stand guard there."
Who knows what will happen in the future. Consider this a backup plan for yourself. You don't have to worry about the Heart Lake. If possible, don't let him get involved in any more trouble. We've already been through enough. I don't want him to become a second Ba Jie, and I don't want him to become Grandmaster Qi Jie either. "Miao Yi casually handed over a jade archive to her and said," Not only do you have the secret passage to come in, there's also a secret passage to go out.
Yu Luocha took the jade archive and examined it. She realized that it was a map of two different routes. She planned to familiarize herself with them when she had the chance. She nodded and said, "Big Brother is right. With Big Brother watching over the Heart Lake, I can rest assured!"
Miao Yi pondered for a moment, then asked, "What's going on with the Demon Sealing Pagoda? Why does it need to collect so many evil desires?"
Yu Luocha was taken aback. She shook her head and said, "It should be used to suppress Lord White and Demon Lord. I'm not too sure about the specifics either. Back then, the plot against Lord White and Demon Lord was carried out in great secrecy. Many of us didn't even know that it was against them until we took action. We didn't even know when the Demon Sealing Pagoda was refined. It was clear that they had planned this carefully. I'm afraid the only ones in the Western Paradise who know the truth are the Lord Buddha's trusted aides. But there's one thing we can be sure of. It's very likely that Lord White and Demon Lord are still alive in the Demon Sealing Pagoda. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been collecting the evil desires of the world. "
Miao Yi shook his head and said, "It's impossible for the evil desires to suppress Lord White. There must be something fishy going on."
Yu Luocha replied, "Why are you so sure, Big Brother?"
Miao Yi cultivated the Fiery Star Technique. How could he not know that it was the nemesis of all emotions and desires? Given Lord White's strength, no matter how many evil desires there were, they wouldn't be able to get close to him. It was impossible to use evil desires to suppress Lord White. However, there was no need to explain this to Yu Luocha. He asked, "In your opinion, what do you think of Lord White's character?"
"Character?" Yu Luocha muttered. Her thoughts were a little confused as she thought about it. Suddenly, she couldn't help but smile bitterly and say, "I'm afraid he's the man that most women in the world yearn for. His looks are unparalleled, and his grace is unparalleled. He's truly an outstanding individual. Back then, countless beauties fell in love with him and were willing to give themselves to him. Unfortunately, his heart belongs to someone else, and he only loves Demon Lord Ruo Shui. Just based on this, how many men in the world can compare to him? I won't hide it from Big Brother. Back then, I also fell in love with him. I once told him that as long as he was willing, I was willing to give up everything to be with him. However, he didn't care at all. "
Miao Yi said, "I'm not interested in your past affairs. I'm asking about his character. Why are you being so emotional?"
"Uhh …" Yu Luocha felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't help but lament just now when she thought about that man. Her words were indeed a little out of line. After all, she was already a mother. Because of her concealment of the matter with Ba Jie, she felt a little guilty. As such, she didn't take Miao Yi's rude words to heart. She pondered for a moment and said, "When he draws his sword, his bones are as white as a mountain. When he hides his blade, he's a Xiaoyao Marquis. He's somewhere between good and evil at the same time. His character isn't exactly good or bad. He's someone who doesn't betray me, and I don't betray others either. As for the specifics, I don't know much about him."
Somewhere between good and evil? Miao Yi was silent for a moment. From what he'd heard over the years, some people said he was a good person, while others said he was a bad person. For example, Xiahou Ta said he was a sinister person. There were some things he couldn't understand. That was why he really wanted to know about Lord White's character. He then asked, "How's the Demon Lord's character?"
Wasn't there a saying that birds of a feather flock together? He had seen the changes in Xue Linglong after she became Xu Tangran's mistress. That was why he wanted to find out more about her.
Yu Luocha said, "Beautiful! So beautiful that I feel ashamed of myself. So beautiful that no one has the courage to compete with her. "
Miao Yi reminded her again, "I'm asking about her character!"
Yu Luocha said, "Beautiful! That's the only way I can describe her character. "
"..." Miao Yi stared at her speechlessly for a moment. He then asked, "Can you take me to the Demon Sealing Pagoda for a look?" Since he was already here, he wanted to find out more about her.
Yu Luocha shook her head. "No! Even I can't get close to her, let alone take Big Brother there … Big Brother, you seem to be very interested in Lord White? "
Miao Yi found an excuse. "I heard some things and wanted to verify them."
On the same day, Miao Yi and the others went to the Tempest Monastery to pay their respects to the Lord Buddha.
The next day, the Lord Buddha officially went to the altar to give his sermon. He sat high up in front of the Tempest Monastery's hall. Buddhist disciples of high status in the Western Paradise had gathered. Miao Yi and the other Heavenly Kings from the Heavenly Court were sitting cross-legged in the front row. The Lord Buddha couldn't reform them, and they weren't interested in it either. In fact, the Lord Buddha didn't need them to be interested. He just wanted them to submit to him and show their attitude. There were so many Buddhist disciples in the territories of the Heavenly Kings. If one of them suddenly didn't give the Lord Buddha face and didn't come, it would have a huge impact on the Buddhist disciples in their territories. There were too many people trying to figure out the Lord Buddha's intentions.
They sat and listened for a few days without stopping. After the sermon, Miao Yi and the others met with the Lord Buddha again. After exchanging some pleasantries, the Lord Buddha sent them out of the hall.
Under the Lord Buddha's arrangements to eliminate all interference, even the Heavenly Court had to give him face. The grand dharma assembly ended smoothly. With the cooperation of all the major forces in the world, there were no problems along the way.
Naturally, the Lord Buddha also made his presence known in the world. Perhaps this was one of the main reasons why the Lord Buddha held the dharma assembly. It was no wonder that he had to put pressure on the Heavenly Court and suppress all the rumors. He truly wanted to eliminate all interference.
When Miao Yi returned to the King's Manor, he met with another guest that was both reasonable and unexpected.
In the main hall, Elder Mu Sen of the Fairy Race stood before Miao Yi after removing his disguise. He had a deep impression of this Commanding Heavenly King of the Southern Armies. It was hard for him to forget their past interactions. When he realized that the Commanding Heavenly King of the Southern Armies was actually the one who completed the crossword puzzle all those years ago, Elder Mu Sen seemed to understand why the Palace Lord of Wood Traversing Palace had sent him here.
The Saintess of the Fairy Race had gone missing. At first, the Fairy Race didn't panic too much. After all, Ba Jie had left a message saying that he would bring Mu Na on a journey. Based on their trust in Ba Jie, the Fairy Race wasn't in a hurry to find her. In the beginning, they were able to maintain contact with Mu Na. However, when they lost contact with Mu Na later on, the Fairy Race panicked and sought help from the Palace Lord.
The Palace Lord of Wood Traversing Palace told them to stop searching, but the Fairy Race refused. In the end, for some unknown reason, the Palace Lord sent Mu Sen to look for the Commanding Heavenly King of the Southern Armies, Niu Youde, to seek answers.
Miao Yi's answer was the same as the Palace Lord's. He sighed and said, "Elder, please stop searching."
Mu Sen's heart skipped a beat. "The Saintess means a lot to the Fairy Race. Whether she's dead or alive, we need an answer, right? Otherwise, how are we going to explain this to our clansmen? "
Miao Yi was silent for a moment before he said, "Mu Na and Ba Jie encountered the demonic monk Nan Bo. They were killed by him. My condolences!"
"Ah!" Even though Mu Sen had mentally prepared himself, he still couldn't help but cry out. Tears streamed down his face. If it were anyone else, he might not have been able to persuade Miao Yi. However, since he was the one who completed the crossword puzzle all those years ago, he could only listen to him. With tears in his eyes, he bowed and said, "I dare not disturb Your Highness. This old man will take his leave!"
"There's no hurry!" Miao Yi called out to him. He frowned and asked, "Did Lin Hai, the Palace Lord of Wood Traversing Palace, send you here to seek answers from me?"
"Yes!" Mu Sen nodded.
