Seeing how she blushed and felt embarrassed at the slightest provocation, Miao Yi didn't seem like a Loose Cultivator who was so thick-skinned as to make her own children despise her. After listening to her explanation, Miao Yi finally understood. It was no wonder why she didn't go to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea despite the hardships she faced. It turned out that she had enemies there. With her current cultivation, going there would only lead to her death.
Miao Yi asked, "The child you're running away with is the one downstairs?"
Lin Pingping nodded and said, "That's right. We settled down after escaping here. Unfortunately, our child doesn't have the aptitude for cultivation, so we can only raise him as an ordinary child. Watching my child grow up and get married is also gratifying. However, as a mother, I've let her down. Not only did I not prepare a dowry for her, I even implicated them. I'm really sorry. "
Tian Qingfeng said hesitantly, "Judging from your appearance, you must have been quite good-looking when you were young. I believe it wouldn't be difficult to find a good backer."
Lin Pingping understood what he meant. She said with a bitter expression, "It's just as Mister has said. I'm not trying to boast, but I did have a pretty face when I was younger. Because of this, it wasn't difficult for me to find a job in the capital city at that time. It was easy for me to support my daughter. I'm also from a prominent family. I'm not shameless enough to sell myself to someone else. It's just that when I'm old and my situation is so difficult that I have no choice but to put down my dignity for the sake of living, and when I'm forced to act coquettishly, no one will look at me anymore. "
Lin Pingping's face flushed red as she recalled how she had purposely pulled open her clothes to reveal her ample bosom to stop these people. She hastily added, "I'm just trying to make a living by acting coquettishly. I've never sold my body."
It didn't matter to them whether she had sold her body or not. Everyone just sighed inwardly when they heard this. They could imagine the bitterness of going from being the daughter of an illustrious family to soliciting customers to make a living.
Luo Shuangfei shot a glance at Lin Pingping, his expression rather unnatural. He knew very well what he had done to her. He coughed dryly and said, "You've painstakingly raised this daughter of yours, yet she doesn't know how to be filial to you. Instead, she's chasing you away. What use does she have for this daughter?"
Lin Pingping was afraid that this fellow would smash the shop again. He hurriedly defended, "Actually, it was fine in the beginning, but as time went by, it was inevitable that they would have some opinions. They are still pretty good to me."
In fact, this was the same logic as how there were no filial sons in front of a sick bed. Cultivators had always lived longer than mortals. Other than Luo Shuangfei, who was the only one who snorted coldly, everyone else understood.
On the other side, the couple served the sumptuous dishes one after another. There was not even a waiter in the restaurant.
Everyone tasted the dishes and wine. To put it bluntly, they The taste was indeed mediocre. No wonder business wasn't doing well. Out of respect for Lin Pingping, no one said anything.
Luo Shuangfei was the only one who tilted his head and spat the food he was chewing onto the ground right in front of the couple.
This guy's actions were a little exaggerated. Although the taste wasn't that great, it wasn't so bad that they would vomit. It was just that it wasn't delicious enough. The couple looked embarrassed.
This was a big slap in the face, but it also made the couple completely understand the reason for their bad business.
Everyone casually tasted a few dishes on the table.
It was indeed not to his liking. No one would embarrass their own tongues in order to save face for Lin Pingping. There was no need to bite the bullet and leave.
When he went downstairs to pay the bill, bang! Luo Shuangfei slammed the counter to intimidate the boss. "How much!"
The boss looked at the embarrassed Lin Pingping and squeezed out a smile. "Forget about the small change. Three thousand White Crystals!"
"It's disgusting, and you still dare to charge it so much? If it weren't for your mother-in-law, I would've smashed your stupid restaurant today." Luo Shuangfei scoffed. Just as he was about to take out the money, Miao Yi casually tossed a piece of Gold Crystal onto the counter.
"Keep the change." Miao Yi said, gesturing for Luo Shuangfei to stay out of it. He then led everyone away.
One piece of Gold Crystal was equivalent to ten thousand White Crystals. Clearly, he was giving Lin Pingping face.
"Take care, esteemed guest." The couple, who were pleasantly surprised, quickly saw the guest out.
Lin Pingping quickly caught up to Miao Yi and apologized profusely. She said she would take Miao Yi and the others to another place to eat.
Miao Yi waved his hand. It was fine even if they didn't eat for half a month. Now that they had lost their appetite, he changed the topic and asked, "What's the most unique place in the capital city?"
Lin Pingping replied, "Speaking of the most unique place. If Milord can stay for a few more days, it will be the day the Palace Lords will bring their people to the capital city to meet the Overlord for the handover of the annual tribute. On that day, it will be the night of the annual celebration on the Jade Lake. The courtesans of the various brothels will compete to be the best. It will be very lively. "
"Good! Then let's stay for a few more days … "Luo Shuangfei immediately applauded from the side. He loved a lively atmosphere the most. However, his expression quickly froze as he realized he was helping Miao Yi again. He weakly turned to look at Miao Yi and asked," … Is that okay? "
It seemed that Miao Yi's previous act of chasing him away in a fit of anger had affected him a little. He now knew how to tolerate himself.
Miao Yi was just about to come to the capital city to broaden his horizons. When he heard that the Palace Lords of the Fifth Earthly Branch would be coming as well, he was quite tempted.
The person with the highest status he had ever seen was Yang Qing. He also wanted to see if he could get a chance to see what the Palace Lords looked like. Logically speaking, the Hall Masters under the Palace Lords would also be escorting the handover of the annual tribute. Perhaps he could even see what the Suppressing Second Hall Master looked like. He nodded.
Luo Shuangfei immediately danced and cheered.
Now that they were in the capital city, there was one place they couldn't not visit. It was the Heart Island, which was designated for the gathering of the city's cultivators. As the name suggested, it was an island in the middle of a river.
The group rented a boat and enjoyed the view of the boats coming and going on the river. They gradually approached the shore and boarded the island.
The cultivators on the island were either walking around in groups of three to five or sitting on the ground. They were all discussing topics related to cultivation. The most discussed topic was the 'Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade' that would take place in a few years. It was held once every three hundred years, and the date was not far away. To cultivators, a few years was but the blink of an eye. When the time came, the six nations would send out a large number of troops to participate. It would be a bloody battle where only one side could survive.
"I wonder who South Edict Manor will send when the time comes." Miao Yi couldn't help but ask when he heard the discussion. He shook his head. He guessed that no one would want to go, because who knew how many people would die if they went.
Tian Qingfeng consoled him, "The Manor Head has always been fond of you, Milord. I don't think he will pick Milord."
Miao Yi chuckled. He wasn't the least bit worried about this. Even though only elite cultivators with a cultivation of Red Lotus and below were allowed to participate, Hall Master Huo Lingxiao appreciated Yang Qing so much that he allowed him to manage two manors. He definitely wouldn't let Yang Qing go.
Moreover, Yang Qing was the one who submitted the list for South Edict Manor. Yang Qing treated him well. Even though he had demoted him to a Steed Deputy, he still allowed him to control East Arrival Cave. Besides, he had saved Qin Weiwei's life before. He probably wouldn't let him go to the Sea of Constellations to die.
At this moment, another Loose Cultivator came over. Lin Pingping, who had been keeping a vigilant eye on her surroundings, quickly stepped forward. She extended her hand to block the newcomer and said, "He's my guest."
She gave off the impression that she was resolutely defending her own interests.
It couldn't be helped. Normally, only cultivators could come to this island. Miao Yi, on the other hand, had a large group of people following behind him. It was very obvious that he was a foreigner with a high status.
There was no lack of Loose Cultivators like Lin Pingping who were looking for something to do on this island. Miao Yi and the others were guests that Lin Pingping had gone to great lengths to recruit. Naturally, she didn't want them to be snatched away by others. She had already stopped a few waves of Loose Cultivators who wanted to steal her business.
The Loose Cultivator who was stopped was a little unwilling to give up. However, Miao Yi and the others were more cooperative with Lin Pingping. They didn't pay any attention to him and continued walking forward, causing the other party to give up.
Not long after, three cultivators with the word 'Supervisor' on their waist came swaggering over. Lin Pingping seemed to be afraid of them. She quietly hid behind Miao Yi and the others.
The old man leading the group had sharp eyes. He had already spotted her and stopped in his tracks, shouting, "Lin Pingping."
Miao Yi and the others were taken aback. Lin Pingping weakly stepped out from behind them and bowed, "Greetings, Lord Xing."
The old man stroked his goatee and smiled, "It's almost time to pay up this month. Have you prepared your monthly payment? If you can't pay up when the time comes, don't blame me for chasing you out of the city. "
"Yes!" Lin Pingping nodded obediently.
The old man suddenly smiled and said, "It's fine if you can't pay up. I'll say it again. Serve me for a night. When I'm satisfied, I'll pay for you."
Lin Pingping immediately bit her lip and kept quiet. Her face was flushed red, but she didn't dare to refute.
After teasing her for a while, the old man laughed heartily. Seeing that there were others around, he didn't dare to go overboard. He waved his hand and signaled for his two subordinates to continue walking forward. One of them asked, "Lord Xing, you're still interested at your age?"
"Interested my ass. I'm only interested in young and beautiful women. You guys don't know this, but when this woman was young, she pretended to be virtuous and virtuous. I wanted to dual cultivate with her, but she wasn't willing. If I don't play with her, I'll be letting myself down. Sooner or later, she'll come to me like a naked bitch. Now that's what I call venting my anger. Ouch … "
Suddenly, a rock shot out. The old man couldn't dodge it in time, and it hit his back. He staggered from the impact, and a White Lotus Fourth Grade appeared on his forehead. He turned around and shouted, "Who's there?!"
Who else could it be other than Luo Shuangfei? He walked out and pointed at himself, "Your grandfather!"
Lin Pingping immediately panicked. She quickly whispered to him, "They're from the Martial Manor. We can't afford to offend them."
Luo Shuangfei turned to look at Miao Yi. He seemed a little afraid that Miao Yi would blame him.
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi quickly scanned his surroundings. Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered to Tian Qingfeng and the others, "Go around and surround this place. Don't let anyone come near."
"This …" Tian Qingfeng and the others were hesitant. They didn't know what he was going to do. 'Don't tell me he's going to make a move on the people from the Martial Manor in the capital city?'
Miao Yi swept a cold glance at them. Tian Qingfeng and the others had no choice but to quickly disperse.
Seeing that the old man was rushing towards them in a rage, Miao Yi whispered to Luo Shuangfei, "Since you've already done it, you better be quick with it. Don't leave anyone alive!"
'Don't leave anyone alive?' Lin Pingping was dumbfounded.
Luo Shuangfei was shocked as well. He thought that Miao Yi didn't want to cause trouble, and was worried that his impulsiveness would anger Miao Yi again. In the end, he realized that Miao Yi was much more ruthless than he was. He only wanted to teach the old man a lesson, but Miao Yi immediately killed him to silence him!
However, this was just to his liking. His spirits immediately lifted, and he pushed Lin Pingping aside, "Milord has already given his approval. Who cares about the Martial Manor? Even the Realm Beyond Heaven dares to set fire to this place?"
