At the intersection of the sea and the sky, a brilliant golden hue could be seen. Beneath the towering cliffs, the surface of the sea was still shrouded in a hazy, turquoise darkness. The Western Constellations Palace was already illuminated by the golden light. The darkness would eventually be illuminated by the light.
The heavy burden that had been weighing on Miao Yi's heart was finally lifted, and his entire body relaxed. It turned out that it wasn't that Little Sister hadn't looked for him before, it was just that she hadn't been able to find him due to a freak combination of factors. Judging from Little Sister's reaction, it was clear that she hadn't forgotten about her Big Brother either.
Miao Yi's mood gradually brightened. He could feel every pore on his body relaxing as he breathed. His face was dyed golden by the golden rays of the rising sun. He smiled as he squinted at the golden rays of the rising sun.
His heart was also made of flesh. He had been supporting a family at such a young age, and he had gone through countless hardships. He had sacrificed a great deal for his second and third children, and he was also afraid to face certain things. It wasn't that he wanted anything in return, but he had once doubted whether what he had done was worth it. That kind of fear had caused him to immediately flee when he heard news of his third child from Yan Beihong. He didn't even dare to speak to Yan Beihong. Now, all the doubts that had tormented him had vanished into thin air.
He suddenly felt that his heart had become strong enough to face anything.
"Now you should understand why I'm telling you all this!" Fairy Hong Chen said.
"I understand. You don't want me to acknowledge her!" Miao Yi nodded.
Seeing that he understood, Fairy Hong Chen took out the storage bangle Yue Yao gave her with a flip of her hand and handed it to him. "Take this."
Since Yue Yao insisted on giving it to her, it wouldn't be good for her to keep pushing it around. She might as well pass it on to Yue Yao's big brother. That way, she would be doing Yue Yao a favor.
What was that? Miao Yi was puzzled. He took it and infused his transcendence energy into it to take a look, and was immediately taken aback. There were so many cultivation resources here. Why did it look like they were looted from the Subjugation Crusade? Frowning, he looked up at her and asked, "What do you mean?"
Hong Chen said, "Not letting the two of you meet is for your own good, and also for her own good. You should be able to understand what I just said. Even if Yue Yao is in the Realm Beyond Heaven, it would not be convenient for her to take care of you. Let's just take this as compensation! But don't worry, it's not like I'm going to ignore you. If you really run into an obstacle you can't overcome, you can take this to the capital city of the Fifth Earthly Branch and look for Lan Hou of the Martial Manor. Beg him for help. "
She wrote a jade archive on the spot and passed it to Miao Yi.
'What do you take me for?' Miao Yi glared at her angrily, but soon after, he laughed out of anger. He snatched the jade archive into his hand and clenched his fingers together. With a cracking sound, the jade archive shattered into dust.
Hong Chen furrowed her brows. Unexpectedly, Miao Yi suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. Hong Chen's eyes flashed, and she was about to lash out in anger when she saw Miao Yi slapping the storage bangle into her hand. He pushed it back and sneered, "Do you think I, Miao Yi, am a beggar? Even without your Realm Beyond Heaven's care, I've still managed to survive until now. I managed to survive the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade all the same. This is for you. Help me take good care of Third Brother. If Third Brother is bullied in the Heavens Beyond Heaven, I don't care who he is. Even if it's Mu Fanjun, I won't let him off. When that happens, don't blame me for turning the Heavens Beyond Heaven upside down! "
"Impudent!" Hong Chen cried out. To her, Miao Yi's words were simply outrageous. He even dared to look down on her own master.
"Impudent?" Miao Yi was thoroughly enraged by the fact that Hong Chen was using conditions that didn't match his Little Sister's. He sneered and said, "Hong Chen, I'll be frank with you. I will reunite with my Little Sister sooner or later. No one can stop me. The day I, Miao Yi, make things clear will be the day we reunite! "
If it weren't for his relationship with Yue Yao … Hong Chen was afraid that she wouldn't be so polite to him. She handed over the storage bangle in her hand again and said, "Your ambition is commendable! I'm willing to see the day you reunite with your Little Sister. However, with your measly cultivation, you should prioritize settling down. Everyone has to face reality. You should just accept this! It will be of some use to you. "
Even though she was being tactful, she was clearly saying that his words weren't realistic. After all, anyone could talk big. How many people would be able to stand at the top of the world in the end?
Miao Yi watched as Hong Chen treated him with charity, and his chest burned with rage. He pointed a finger at Yue Yao's nose and said in a deep voice, "Hong Chen, that little experience of yours won't scare me. If there's a beauty that won't age, she will only be waiting for the day I reunite with my Little Sister. When that time comes, I will make you my woman. I'll show you who can stop me!"
'That's too rude!' Hong Chen was so angry that she raised her hand. She almost wanted to slap him in the face, but in the end, she swung it back and said, "For Yue Yao's sake, I won't argue with you! Since you're the one who doesn't know what's good for you, then I'll let you be! However, please remember what you said. For Yue Yao's sake, don't disturb her if you don't have the ability. As long as you can do it, I will do as you say. If the day you reunite with your Little Sister comes, then I, Hong Chen, will be your woman! "
These were words spoken out of anger. It was obvious that she didn't believe that Miao Yi would ever reunite with his Little Sister. In a fit of anger, she actually responded to the question of whether or not she would become Miao Yi's woman. At the same time, she was also trying to force Miao Yi to keep his promise and not disturb Yue Yao. She was truly enraged by Miao Yi's arrogant words.
Miao Yi was also furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Just you wait!"
Hong Chen's face was filled with anger. She scoffed coldly and kept the storage bangle with a flip of her hand. Her attitude clearly said, 'Since you don't want it, do you think I should beg you for it?'
With her red dress fluttering in the wind, Hong Chen turned around and left with a furious look on her face.
Miao Yi was still fuming as he stood on the spot. There weren't many things he could hold onto in the cultivation realm to begin with. In his heart, the bond between his siblings was the most precious thing. Now, someone had actually used it as a bargaining chip. If he didn't know that he wasn't Hong Chen's match, he would definitely have made a move and taught that bitch a lesson. Did she think she was all that just because she was pretty?
However, as his emotions gradually calmed down, Miao Yi began to feel a little regretful. After all, Fairy Hong Chen was doing this out of goodwill. Judging from the looks of it, she seemed to be on good terms with her Little Sister. Wasn't it a little too much for him to say something like that in the heat of the moment?
The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. He felt that he had gone a little too far with his words just now. It was practically a blasphemy. What difference was there between him and his Little Brother?
As he thought about Ba Jie, he let out a bitter laugh. So many years had passed. Why was his Little Brother still the same? Even though he seemed to be acting all high and mighty now, he still couldn't change his bad habits!
A rustling sound came from the nearby forest, causing him to snap out of his daze. He saw an old man sweeping the withered leaves in the forest with a large broom.
Miao Yi was taken aback. He looked around and wondered when this old man had appeared. He couldn't have overheard his conversation with Hong Chen, could he?
Miao Yi couldn't help but furrow his brows as he stared at the old man who was slowly sweeping his way. The old man's hair was tied into a bun at the top of his head. His eyebrows were abnormally thick, and he had a short green beard. He had a tall and sturdy build, and his skin was bronze. His expression was calm and serene, and he wore a gray shirt with his sleeves and trousers rolled up high, exposing his bronze arms and calves. He wore a pair of cloth shoes, looking like a farmer in the fields.
At this moment, the forest had already been dyed golden by the rising sun. The old man's gaze gradually came to Miao Yi's side. Seeing that Miao Yi was standing still, he raised his head and said, "Young man, can't you see that I'm sweeping the ground? Excuse me! "
Miao Yi moved aside and stood to the side, asking, "Senior, did you hear anything just now?"
The old man continued sweeping as he asked, "What did you want me to hear?"
Miao Yi was speechless. It seemed like he'd wasted his words. He could only ask again, "Did you hear anyone talking just now?"
Who knew that the old man would be so honest?
"Who told you all to be so careless and make such a ruckus so early in the morning? No matter how bad this old man's ears are, it would be hard for me not to hear anything. Let me make it clear first. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you. I often sweep the ground here, and I just happened to stumble upon it … Why are you looking around so suspiciously? "The old man stopped what he was doing and said," You're not thinking of silencing me, are you? I'm warning you, you're no match for me. Don't think that I'm just an old man sweeping the ground. My cultivation is higher than the Blue Lotus realm. Think about it yourself! "
This old man was so honest. He'd said everything clearly, and there was no need to think about it. If his cultivation was higher than the Blue Lotus realm, wouldn't that mean he was at least at the Red Lotus realm?
Miao Yi's expression twitched as he scanned his surroundings to see if there was anyone around. He really did have the same idea. He'd already channeled his transcendence energy into his storage ring and was about to summon the Mystic Yin Mirror to launch a sneak attack. However, the old man's warning made him give up on the idea.
He then pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Senior, you must be joking. Who would dare hurt someone in the Western Constellations Palace?"
"Why are you being so hypocritical?! You just want to force that beautiful lady to become your woman. What's there to be afraid of? It's not like love is something shameful! It's a woman. If a man isn't capable, he can just make do with one. If a man is capable, he can just take the beautiful one. What's there to be embarrassed about? " The old man shook his head in confusion, then continued sweeping the floor and said, "I know you youngsters care about your pride. Don't worry. I'm just an old man who can't even lift my head after being bullied. All I can do is obediently sweep the floor here. I won't gossip about you. It won't do me any good anyway, so why do I have to gossip about you?"
When he said that, Miao Yi thought about it and agreed with him. No matter how famous the Western Constellations Palace was, no matter where it was, a person who'd fallen to the point of being a janitor would definitely be the kind of person who wouldn't be welcomed. He had no grudge against the old man, so there was no need for the old man to make trouble for him.
Miao Yi followed behind and asked, "Senior, have you been sweeping the Western Constellations Palace all this time?"
"Yes! I've been sweeping for many years now. If I'm not capable, I can only hide here and make do. "
"May I ask for Senior's name?"
"We've only met by chance. I'm sweeping my floor, and you're going after your future. Why are you asking around so much? After you leave, it's still a question of whether you'll have the chance to come back here again. There's no point in trying to befriend me! Could it be that you want to find out more about me, then consider whether or not you should kill me to keep me quiet? "
"What are you talking about, Senior? It doesn't matter if we've only met by chance. It's fate that brought us together …"
