Looking at the people bowing and apologizing in an orderly manner before him, Miao Yi recalled what had happened just now. It was these people who had trapped him in his room all by himself, pointing their fingers and threatening him.
He had experienced this feeling of being trapped in his room when he was very young. At that time, he had two little ones by his side, and they had even stabbed him in the leg. Hence, he didn't like this feeling.
However, things had changed very quickly. The group of people who had been so overbearing before had instantly become like this!
Miao Yi smiled. He realized that he was starting to like this feeling. After everyone bowed and apologized, he sighed and said, "I can only say that I will try my best in front of Hall Master Wu. As for the specifics, I can't guarantee anything."
Everyone's smile was a little forced. They were a little doubtful whether he would really try his best. However, they still forced a smile and said, "Of course, of course."
"Let's go!" Miao Yi waved his hand and led the group up the stairs.
They went up to the third floor, which was the floor Miao Yi lived on. They continued to climb the wooden stairs and stepped onto the rooftop.
Only when they climbed up could they feel the majestic momentum of the entire ship. The ship they were standing on was in front of them, and behind it were nine other ships.
They could also feel the strong sea breeze blowing rapidly, causing their clothes to flutter. It seemed like the sky was about to change, the blue sky had turned grey, the blazing sun was dim, and the sound of the ship hitting the waves was incessant.
When they saw the richly ornamented wooden house on the spacious rooftop, everyone's hearts tightened. They all knew that Wu Menglan was living inside, but they didn't know what would happen to them.
"Wait here for a moment." Miao Yi turned around and instructed.
Everyone was puzzled and looked at him inquiringly. Miao Yi looked at the wooden house. As if afraid that Wu Menglan would hear what he said, he switched to transmitting his voice and explained, "I will go notify her first and probe her."
Su Jinggong and the others immediately nodded. Miao Yi then walked against the strong wind to the wooden house a few dozen meters away.
The wind was strong and the waves were strong, so the group couldn't hear clearly. They could only vaguely hear Miao Yi calling out 'Sister Meng' at the door before pushing the door open and entering.
Sister Meng? Everyone looked at each other. They naturally understood 'Sister Meng' as' Sister Meng '.
Miao Yi actually called Wu Menglan 'Sister Meng'? He actually addressed the Hall Master of Suppressing Third Hall as' Elder Sister '. No wonder he was able to get Wu Menglan to stand up for him. How did this guy manage to establish such a relationship so quickly? Didn't I hear that this guy went to Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor and killed Xiong Xiao …?
Before they set off. They were hiding inside the ship, so they didn't hear Wu Menglan's threat to Miao Yi. Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought that way.
Inside the house, Wu Menglan glared at Miao Yi, who was standing at the door of the inner chamber. She coldly asked, "Why are you here again?"
Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Meng, you know the situation I'm in. If I offend the three major sects now, I won't be able to escape. Once he reached the Sea of Constellations, he would be dead meat. So … "
"Are you not afraid of offending me by bringing them here?" Wu Menglan tilted her head and sent out a wave of magic power. Swoosh! The window was pulled open, and he stared coldly at Su Jinggong and the others, who were standing dozens of meters away.
Although there was a lot of noise outside, with her cultivation, it was not to the extent that she would not be able to detect someone tens of meters away.
When Su Jinggong and the others met Wu Menglan's cold gaze, their hearts trembled. It seemed that this Hall Master Wu did not have a good impression of them!
How could they dare to meet Wu Menglan's gaze? They quickly lowered their heads.
Wu Menglan turned her head around and used her transcendence energy to pull the window shut again. Her cold gaze was fixed on Miao Yi again. "It seems that I have been too lenient with you all."
It seemed that she was prepared to punish Miao Yi as well.
Miao Yi quickly cupped his hands and said, "Sister Meng, it's not what you think. When I went back, I told them that you did not want to see them, but they did not believe me. It's because I had boasted a little too much previously. After repeating it repeatedly, they began to doubt my words. That's why they want to verify it face to face. Sister Meng, you can go out and explain it to them face to face. Or you can have a chat with them inside the house. "
The people outside didn't dare to invoke their transcendence energy to spy on what Wu Menglan was talking about. If they heard it, they would most likely rush over to explain it to her.
Wu Menglan was originally prepared to go out and teach these people a lesson. However, after hearing Miao Yi's words, Wu Menglan thought, 'If I go out just because you want me to, then what am I? What right do you have to do that? '
"Before I get angry, tell them to scram immediately!" Wu Menglan said coldly.
Miao Yi wanted her to get angry and deal with the people outside. Once and for all, it would save him the trouble. But the problem was that he couldn't do that. If Wu Menglan were to personally deal with the people outside. His two-faced nature would be exposed immediately. He couldn't withstand any confrontation.
If he were to play tricks on Wu Menglan, it was obvious that the one who would suffer in the end wouldn't be Su Jinggong and the others, but Miao Yi himself.
Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "What if they don't see you and continue to stand outside until they die?"
There was a hidden meaning in his words. Su Jinggong and the others weren't fools. Why would they continue to stand outside until they die?
As expected! Wu Menglan's voice suddenly reverberated throughout the entire ship. "Then let them continue to stand there!"
As soon as she said this, the expressions of Su Jinggong and the others outside changed. The people in the guest rooms below also became restless. Even Pang Rang, who was at the tail end of the last ship in the distance, appeared on the balcony in a flash and looked over.
Miao Yi was stunned, but he was overjoyed. He was prepared to tempt her, but who knew that Great Hall Master Wu would actually give him face. That brain of hers wasn't polite at all. She had already invoked her transcendence energy to warn the people outside, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"What are you still doing here? Do you want me to personally escort you out? "Wu Menglan glared at him and said coldly.
"I wouldn't dare!" Miao Yi quickly went out.
After he went out, he obediently closed the door, then shook his head and sighed as he walked towards Su Jinggong and the others.
Facing Su Jinggong and the others, Miao Yi sighed as he looked at their uneasy gazes. He transmitted his voice to them and said, "Hall Master Wu said that if anyone dares to cause trouble on the ship that she personally oversees, she will kill them as a warning to the others!"
Everyone was instantly shocked. Miao Yi continued, "I spent a lot of effort to help you all escape the death penalty. However, as long as you're not deaf, you should have heard Hall Master Wu's words. She wants you all to continue standing here. I don't know what the consequences will be for those who dare to move."
Actually, that wasn't what Wu Menglan meant. She was just going along with Miao Yi's words and giving them a warning. She didn't want them to continue standing here without a cause, as Miao Yi said.
If he didn't finish his words in one go, he would scare them to death. Everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as they didn't die. With their cultivation, it wouldn't be a big deal even if they stood here for a while longer.
Perhaps they were frightened, they didn't dare to say anything. However, there was a hint of gratitude in their eyes when they looked at Miao Yi.
Miao Yi felt a little embarrassed. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Don't just stand here like idiots. "
Everyone immediately looked at him with grief and indignation. They realized that this brat was trying to trick them. Wu Menglan had already told them to continue standing here, yet this brat actually told them to leave. If this wasn't trying to harm them, what else could it be?
Miao Yi immediately realized that Wu Menglan probably hadn't said anything. These people didn't dare to move. They hurriedly transmitted their voices and explained, "I put in a good word for you all. If you keep standing here, Hall Master Wu will be annoyed to see you all the moment she opens the window or goes out. She thinks that what I said makes sense, and she doesn't want you all to keep staring at her, so she agreed to let you all go down and stand at the bow of the ship. Standing at the bow of the ship is also beneficial to you all. It can also prevent Hall Master Wu from seeing you all directly, and prevent you all from feeling uncomfortable, right? You can scratch your itch while standing at the bow. Isn't it more inconvenient to stand here? "
How could this brat be so kind to them? Almost seventy percent of them suspected that this brat was trying to get someone else to do his dirty work. He wanted to trick everyone out of this place, provoke Wu Menglan, and then kill them all.
Seeing that these people were unmoved, Miao Yi immediately shouted, "You guys are really a bunch of idiots. Why won't you listen to my advice? Fine, I spent so much effort on your behalf in front of Hall Master Wu, and I almost got myself killed as well. I don't care anymore. If you all want to stand here, then continue standing. Don't blame me if something happens! "
He didn't use his voice transmission to say this, and his voice was a little loud. It seemed to carry a hint of anger, as though he had expected better from them. He wanted to say it to prove to these people that he wasn't lying. At the same time, he wanted to say it to Wu Menglan to prove that he wasn't lying.
After he finished speaking, he swung his arm and left.
Su Jinggong and the others looked at each other. Then, they looked at the richly ornamented wooden house. Seeing that there was no reaction, they nodded and quickly turned to follow Miao Yi down.
The reason was simple. With Wu Menglan's cultivation, Miao Yi was so loud that it was impossible for her not to hear him. Wu Menglan didn't react to his words. This meant that what Miao Yi said might be true. If Miao Yi was lying, why would he dare to speak so loudly?
If Miao Yi had used his voice transmission like before, they definitely wouldn't have believed him. But since he said it so openly, they had no reason not to believe him. Even if something happened, they could just say that Miao Yi had faked the decree.
In the two rooms on the lowest floor, the cultivators opened their doors and stood at the entrance, watching curiously as Miao Yi led Su Jinggong and the others through the passage in the middle and arrived at the exit on the other side.
Miao Yi stopped in his tracks and pointed to the bow of the ship at the end of the deck. He coughed, then looked to his left and right and said, "I don't think I need to teach you what to do. Stand at the bow of the ship obediently. Of course, if you don't want to stand, I won't force you either. Anyway, this is all I can do for you. Do as you see fit. "
Li Yaoqi was the first to cup his fists at him to express his gratitude. The others followed suit, cupping their fists and walking past him. Without hesitation, they went straight to stand at the bow of the ship.
The twenty or so people who had barged into Miao Yi's room in an overbearing manner were now standing at the bow of the ship, facing the wind and waves to punish themselves.
After dealing with these people, Miao Yi let out a heavy sigh. His back was a little wet. Playing this tightrope game was too dangerous and exhausting. If he had been the slightest bit careless, the furious Wu Menglan would probably have slapped him to death with a single slap. During the process, he had grasped the key to fine tuning his movements. This made him tense up to deal with the situation. It was definitely not as easy as it seemed.
He gambled that Wu Menglan, Su Jinggong, and the others would not suspect that he had the guts to play any tricks at such a close distance. Indeed, he had successfully fooled both sides. This was definitely a risky move, and only an extremely daring person would do such a thing.
Miao Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Even though Wu Menglan's cultivation was higher than Yang Qing's, her intelligence might not be as good as his. If it were Yang Qing, he wouldn't have dared to play such a subtle trick in front of him. Otherwise, he wouldn't know who would be the one playing who.
'There's a strong wind. A storm should be coming soon, right?' Miao Yi muttered to himself as he looked at the group of people standing at the bow of the ship, then looked at the sky.
When he turned around and passed through the corridor, one of the cultivators standing at the door to the guest rooms asked, "Steward Miao, what's wrong with them?"
"Sigh!" Miao Yi sighed, and admitted it openly, "This is the consequence of offending Hall Master Wu. Hall Master Wu merely gave them a light punishment."
Realization suddenly dawned on the people on both sides. No wonder they heard Hall Master Wu's words earlier. The three major sects were the same. Weren't they just asking for trouble?
"You and you, come with me." Miao Yi casually pointed at two people, including the person who had asked the question just now.
The two of them followed behind him to the stable at the lowest level. They couldn't help but ask, "Steward, what's the matter?"
