"A crystal coin mine!" Miao Yi cried out involuntarily in shock. Soon after, his face was filled with pleasant surprise. He immediately stood up and expressed his gratitude, "Big Brother has gone through so much trouble and treats me like a real brother. I have no way to repay you, so I can only thank you in advance. I will definitely repay you generously in the future!"
In his heart, however, he was grumbling, 'You sure know how to sell favors. I risked my life in the Sea of Constellations to obtain this item, and now it's all because of your good intentions. If I want to go to a place with great profits, do I even need you to sell favors to me?' It was just that Wu Menglan had already stood him up, and now this person was here. How was he supposed to live?
Huo Lingxiao smiled and reached out to pull him to sit down. "Everything that happened before was my fault. It was because I didn't want anyone to know about the relationship between you and me, so that they would mistakenly think that I, the Hall Master, was biased. Now that I think about it, I almost made a huge mistake. After that, I won't have any misgivings anymore. So what if others know our identities? Little Brother, feel free to stay within the borders of Traversing Moon Palace. It doesn't matter if you're in Suppressing Second Hall or not. I still have a few words to say in front of the Palace Lord. I'm acquainted with the other Hall Masters as well. They'll give me some face and ensure your safety. "
"This little brother is moved to tears!" Miao Yi cupped his fists repeatedly. He really didn't know how to express his gratitude. "I'll have to trouble Big Brother to take care of me in the future."
Easily done! Huo Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "We're a family, there's no need to be so polite with each other. Little Brother, if you continue to speak like this, it'll make us seem distant. There's no need for us to be so polite in the future!"
"Since Big Brother said so, I'm relieved. Previously, I came to pay my respects to the Hall Master, but there was something that I didn't know how to bring up. Now that I know Big Brother is in charge of Suppressing Second Hall, I might have to trouble Big Brother to avenge me! "Miao Yi said angrily.
"Wash away my shame?" Huo Lingxiao was taken aback.
Without another word, Miao Yi immediately took out a pile of jade archives and placed them on the tea table. "Big Brother, you'll understand after you read this. I've really been bullied too much!"
Huo Lingxiao imposingly picked up a jade archive and examined it.
After looking through one piece after another, his face gradually darkened. When he was done, he slammed his palm on the coffee table and shouted angrily, "This is simply lawless! The three great sects are going too far! "
Don't beat around the bush. I'm here to settle scores with Shen Fenghua! Miao Yi thought to himself. He stood up and said, "Big Brother, don't be hasty. The three major sects aren't even worth mentioning. I've already killed all the troops of the three major sects in Mount Calming Sea. There's no need to bother with a bunch of dead people! "
"…" Huo Lingxiao looked at him in shock, his face a mess of emotions. What the hell was Fan Zizhang doing? Why didn't he say anything about this? He asked in shock, "You killed all the people from the three major sects under your command? How many did you kill? "
Miao Yi replied, "Not many. Just about ninety people."
Tian Yu was dumbfounded. Not a lot?
Huo Lingxiao's expression darkened. "Good brother. Are you kidding me? I used to be a Mountain Chieftain, but how many people are there in a mountain? You've killed more than ninety of your subordinates in one go. You've killed almost all of them, and you still think that you haven't killed enough? Do you know the consequences of offending the three great sects? "
Miao Yi exclaimed, "Big Brother! Could it be that those who rebelled, conspired against the law, and disobeyed orders could not be killed? Could it be that I killed the wrong people? "
Huo Lingxiao sighed, "I'm not saying that you killed the wrong people. I'm just asking you to think twice before you act. The forces of the three major sects are practically all over the Fifth Earthly Branch, and their Sect Masters are often honored guests of the Lord Overlord. What you've done is detrimental to your future."
He was filled with regret. 'I should have known that you would do something like this. I won't let you know who I am. If word gets out that we're sworn brothers, the three major sects will definitely think that I'm supporting you from behind. Otherwise, how could a normal person have the guts to do something like this …? '
"Don't worry, Big Brother. I will take responsibility for my actions. I will handle this matter properly. With the statements from the three sects here, I believe they won't be able to say anything about it." Miao Yi didn't want to waste his sworn brother's enthusiasm. If he didn't strike while the iron was hot, then when? He immediately cupped his fists and said, "I only have one question for you now. Someone came to my territory to extort money, and even bullied my woman. He even bullied my woman. Big Brother, are you going to help me get justice? "
He already knew that nothing good would come out of acknowledging this brother, so he kept it a secret. Now that he did, trouble came knocking on his door! Huo Lingxiao's face twitched involuntarily. He asked hesitantly, "Are you talking about Shen Fenghua? What do you want? "
After he asked the question, he felt like he was asking too much. This bastard had already killed over ninety of his subordinates. Now that he was here, what did he want?
Miao Yi immediately pointed at Tian Yu and said angrily, "Big Brother, if I may ask, if Shen Fenghua were to drag Tian Yu and Liu Xing to drink with him, his words and actions would be an insult to them. If he were to have them serve him in bed, how would you deal with it? "
'Damn it, do you think you can compare to me? How could Shen Fenghua dare to touch my woman?! ' Huo Lingxiao was extremely annoyed, but he could only keep these thoughts to himself. He couldn't say it out loud. Miao Yi was his sworn brother. If he were to say it out loud, he would become a beast!
The evidence was irrefutable! With so many people's statements, how could he deal with it? Huo Lingxiao slowly sat down and said in a deep voice, "Summon Shen Fenghua to see me!"
"Yes!" Tian Yu replied and left.
"Don't be angry, Big Brother. People like him deserve to die!" Miao Yi extended his hand and said, "Have some tea, Big Brother!"
Huo Lingxiao, who had been silent for a while, replied with an "Mm." As he picked up his teacup, he suddenly felt that something was off. Whose house was this? He glanced at Miao Yi, who was gulping down his tea without the slightest hint of politeness. He was speechless. 'Do you really think of yourself as my own brother?'
Not long after, the chubby Shen Fenghua arrived behind Tian Yu.
As he waited in the courtyard to be summoned, Shen Fenghua was feeling a little uneasy. He thought that he had always tried to please Tian Yu, but this time, Tian Yu didn't give him any face at all. Even after asking around, he still couldn't find out why the Hall Master was looking for him. Instead, he was insulted a little, which made him feel even more uneasy.
"Milord, Shen Fenghua is already waiting outside!" Tian Yu reported as she entered the courtyard.
"Hmph!" Huo Lingxiao scoffed, then stood up and walked towards the door.
When Tian Yu saw Miao Yi also stand up and follow behind the Hall Master with his hands behind his back, she couldn't help but grumble in her heart.
Huo Lingxiao's expression darkened as he stood on the steps in front of the door, coldly staring down at Shen Fenghua.
Truth be told, he didn't want anything to happen to Shen Fenghua. Shen Fenghua was able to read his mind at every turn, and had always done things according to his wishes. He couldn't find a second subordinate who was as good as him. It wasn't that Shen Fenghua was particularly capable, but that when he was being humiliated by his superiors, he had a subordinate who would bow and scrape at his beck and call. It made him feel like he was still an upright person, and that his life wasn't in vain. This was the reason why he liked Shen Fenghua!
"Hall Master!" Shen Fenghua's plump body bowed as he approached with a fawning expression, "Hall Master, what orders do you have for me?"
Huo Lingxiao was about to speak, but he realized it was too late. Someone behind him had already spoken on his behalf, "Deacon Shen, it's been many years since we last met. You're still as elegant as ever. Do you still recognize me?"
Miao Yi came out from behind Huo Lingxiao, then stood beside him with his hands behind his back. Huo Lingxiao tilted his head to look at him, speechless.
Shen Fenghua was taken aback. He realized that this person looked familiar, and quickly remembered. He pointed at him in surprise, "You're Mountain Chieftain Miao Yi of Mount Calming Sea? Why are you here? "He was surprised that Miao Yi dared to be so arrogant in front of Huo Lingxiao.
The commotion outside and Miao Yi's voice caused the people waiting in the side hall to walk over to the door. They were also a little surprised.
"I thought that Deacon Shen had forgotten about me, and that he had already forgotten about me!" Miao Yi clenched his fist and gave him a thumbs up, then pointed at Huo Lingxiao beside him and said arrogantly, "The Hall Master of Suppressing Second Hall is my sworn brother. Why do you think I'm here?"
"Ah!" Shen Fenghua was shocked. He thought he had misheard.
At the door of the side hall, Fan Zizhang, Yan Xiu, Qian'Er, and Xue'Er finally received confirmation. They were all dumbfounded.
Huo Lingxiao's face twitched again. Behind him, Tian Yu rolled her eyes. She finally understood why Miao Yi didn't want to make this sworn brother public.
"Deacon Shen, when you came to my Mount Calming Sea to extort bribes, I didn't make things difficult for you out of respect for my Big Brother. I didn't think you would dare to go even further. You're quite bold. Did you think I wouldn't be able to do anything to you just because you're hiding in Suppressing Second Hall?" Miao Yi sneered.
'Did you even know who I was back then? ' Huo Lingxiao couldn't stand him anymore. He tilted his head to look at Miao Yi, wanting to tell him to shut up!
Shen Fenghua finally understood why the Hall Master had such a dark expression on his face. This bastard actually knelt down and begged for mercy, "Hall Master! Hall Master! I didn't know Lord Miao was your sworn brother! I really didn't know! "
"You think you can act so recklessly if you're not my sworn brother?! How do you expect everyone in Suppressing Second Hall to look at me?! " Huo Lingxiao waved his hand, and a pile of jade archives flew out from the tea table in the main hall, scattering in front of Shen Fenghua. Huo Lingxiao pointed at them and shouted, "Take a look yourself. See if I've wronged you!"
Kneeling on the ground, Shen Fenghua picked up the jade archives with trembling hands and examined them. The more he read, the paler his face became, and the more his body trembled. Before he could even read half of them, he let go. He actually squeezed out tears and cried, "Hall Master! I didn't mean it! If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to offend Lord Miao even if I was given ten thousand times the courage! "
Huo Lingxiao shouted, "I'm asking you if you know your crimes!"
"I dare not explain myself in front of the Hall Master. I know my crimes. I have always been loyal to the Hall Master. I …"
Before Shen Fenghua could finish, Miao Yi laughed coldly, "It's good that you know your crimes! Otherwise, you'll say that I've wronged you! "Miao Yi had already dashed over to Shen Fenghua, brandishing both his arms.
A series of crisp smacking sounds rang out, mixed with Shen Fenghua's strange cries.
This Shen Fenghua was truly loyal to Huo Lingxiao. Like a mouse meeting a cat, Miao Yi hoped that Shen Fenghua would hide or retaliate. That way, he could find an excuse to eliminate him. Who knew that this damned fatty wouldn't even try to hide or defend himself. He simply knelt on the ground and didn't even invoke his arts to defend himself. He simply allowed Miao Yi to slap him again and again.
Shen Fenghua's nose and mouth were bleeding profusely. His teeth were all knocked out, and he was still whimpering about how loyal he was to the Hall Master.
Huo Lingxiao lowered his head and didn't say a word. It was as if he didn't see anything.
