He was no stranger to divine temples. Every city had one, and it was a place to collect the power of will from believers.
As he neared the divine temple, he immediately saw a house with tiled roofs and towering walls. A horizontal board with the words' Manor of Sincere Hope 'was hung on the main gate. The gate was tightly shut, and lanterns had already been hung at the entrance. There were bailiffs standing on both sides of the gate with sabers in their hands.
Charcoal carried Miao Yi and rushed over, too lazy to talk nonsense.
Because he knew what kind of place the Manor of Sincere Hope was. Those who had just entered would probably suffer a little, not to mention Ji Xiufang was a pretty young married woman. Who knew what the bailiffs inside would do. The longer he stayed, the more danger he would face.
With a rumble, the horse galloped over, and Charcoal smashed the main gate with its head.
Not to mention the main gate, even the city walls would collapse. Carrying Miao Yi, it rushed into the courtyard inside, startling the bailiffs at the entrance and scurrying away like rats.
At the same time, two cultivators with the silhouette of a three-petaled white lotus blossoming between their brows flashed out, pointing their spears at Miao Yi.
These two were Qin Weiwei's two subordinates, and they had also fought Miao Yi to a draw.
Looking at the smashed main gate, one of them frowned and said, "Miao Yi? It's you! What are you doing here? "
Miao Yi cupped his fists and said, "I'll have to trouble the two of you to let me take a few people away!"
"That's easy." The man extended his hand and said, "Do you have the Mountain Chieftain or Cave Master's decree?"
"No!" Miao Yi shook his head and said, "That's why I'm asking the two of you to let me go!"
The man refused, "If it were any other time, we wouldn't mind giving you this face, but not today. You should know very well why we are standing guard here."
Miao Yi said, "I came in a hurry and didn't think about it. Give me the people first, I will report to Cave Master Qin later. If anything happens, I will take full responsibility!"
The man shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that won't do!"
Miao Yi said, "Let me see how the people are first."
The man shook his head again and said, "Give me the decree first."
He couldn't even see the people. Miao Yi felt that the other party was deliberately making things difficult. His face sank, and the silhouette of a lotus emerged between his brows. He slowly pointed the spear in his hand at the two men and said coldly, "You really won't give me face?"
Another person immediately flew into a rage and said, "Do you really think we are afraid of you?"
Previously, so many of them had joined forces to fight Miao Yi for so long, but to no avail. They had long been suppressing their anger. If it weren't for the fact that Miao Yi had obtained Yang Qing's favor, the two of them wouldn't have been so courteous to Miao Yi. Now that Miao Yi was being unreasonable, it was as good as seizing the opportunity.
Charcoal's hooves were restless as he sensed Miao Yi's anger.
Just as the two sides were about to start fighting, Qin Weiwei's voice came from outside the courtyard walls, "Stop!"
Both of them were startled. Both of them retracted the lotus projection between their brows. Qin Weiwei's voice rang out once more. "Give him the person."
The two cultivators looked at each other and cupped their hands towards the direction of the voice. "Understood!"
One of them turned around and asked Miao Yi, "Who do you want?"
Miao Yi spat out, "Ji Xiufang! He was just sent in. "
The man looked at the trembling official hiding under the eaves. "Send him over."
The official immediately bowed and left. Not long after, he brought Ji Xiufang, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Looking at Ji Xiufang's appearance, she didn't seem to have suffered much.
Originally, this wasn't a good thing, but because two Immortals had suddenly arrived at the Manor of Sincere Hope to guard it, the bailiffs inside didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to act rashly. Otherwise, there really wouldn't be such a good thing.
When she saw Miao Yi, Ji Xiufang was stunned at first. Then, she ran over and knelt before Charcoal, crying her heart out. "Mister Miao, please save my son. I beg you, for my uncle's sake, please save my son! I beg you … "
Miao Yi jumped off his dragon steed and helped her up with both hands. He asked, "They didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
As soon as he said this, the bailiffs in the courtyard trembled in fear, afraid that Ji Xiufang would say something unpleasant.
Ji Xiufang sobbed and shook her head. "Mister Miao, please save my son. He's still young!"
Miao Yi immediately turned around and said, "Send out all the people she brought from her family!"
Needless to say, including the steward that Miao Yi knew, all the people, young and old, were quickly sent out.
Ji Xiufang hugged her son on the spot and cried her heart out. She knelt before Miao Yi and kept kowtowing.
Miao Yi helped her up. "Let's go. Everything's fine now. Let's go home!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he personally escorted a large group of people back to the entrance of Ji Xiufang's former residence. Seeing the seal on the main door, he turned around and shouted, "Call the City Lord here!"
At this moment, Yan Xiu was hiding in a dark corner of the street, accompanying Qin Weiwei as he watched the scene unfold before him.
Not long after, a fat official and a few subordinates rushed over on horseback.
Miao Yi didn't want to listen to their nonsense and pointed his spear at the main door. "City Lord, if anything happens to this family in the future, I will hold you responsible. Tear off the seal and open the door! "
He couldn't always stay by Ji Xiufang's side to take care of her. He also didn't know if Chen Fei was dead or alive, but without Chen Fei's recommendation, he wouldn't even know where he would be now. In order to repay this debt of gratitude, he had created this commotion. The reason why he was so arrogant was to show that he would protect this family, to prevent others from harming this orphan and widowed mother.
"Hmph! How impressive! "Qin Weiwei curled the corner of her mouth and snorted coldly.
Yan Xiu laughed dryly at the side, watching as Miao Yi escorted Ji Xiufang's family inside.
When Miao Yi came out again, he saw Miao Yi saying to the City Lord, who was bowing and bowing, "Return the things that are missing from this house to me immediately. If even a single chopstick is missing, I will take your life!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The City Lord hurriedly responded, wiping away the sweat on his forehead as he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to carry it out.
In another corner, Chen Fei, who was in disguise, witnessed this scene. He let out a sigh of relief and murmured, "Brother Miao, I, Chen Fei, will remember this great favor. If there is a chance, I will repay this favor in the future!"
With Miao Yi stepping forward to shoulder the responsibility, he could leave in peace. He turned around and quietly disappeared into the darkness of the street.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi, who had just ridden Charcoal out of the city, bumped into Qin Weiwei and Yan Xiu who were waiting outside. He quickly stopped, cupping his fists and said, "Thank you, Cave Master, for your help!"
How could Qin Weiwei be so kind as to specifically help him? It was only when Yang Qing, who had just recovered his transcendence energy, came out and saw Yan Xiu asking about Miao Yi. After hearing the reason, Yang Qing was full of praise, praising Miao Yi for being a loyal and righteous person who would repay the kindness of others with a gushing spring. That was why he asked Qin Weiwei to come here personally, in case anything happened.
Qin Weiwei's face was filled with ridicule as she said, "That young lady is quite pretty. I thought you were going to spend the night at her house."
"She's not as pretty as you …"
Miao Yi immediately complimented. After finding out that this woman was Yang Qing's goddaughter, his attitude became much more polite. However, as soon as the words left his mouth, he immediately realized that something was wrong, as though the words that followed were ambiguous.
Yan Xiu immediately puffed up his cheeks, forcefully suppressing his laughter. He realized that Miao Yi's reply was too harsh. No matter how he listened to it, it seemed like he was saying, 'She's not as pretty as you. If I want to sleep, I'll sleep with you.'
At the same time, he was also worried for Miao Yi. Miao Yi himself was also nervous, and wanted to slap himself.
