"Tian Yu, Liu Xing. You don't have to send me off." Miao Yi called out their names without a second thought, causing the two of them to feel sick of him. Yet, they still had to smile at him.
Under the watchful eyes of the two guards at the door, Miao Yi took out another twenty low-grade Orbs of Will, intending to give ten orbs to each of the two ladies. It was more than a little more than what he had given to the two guards. It was ten times more than what he had given to them.
Yan Xiu's lips twitched. If he remembered correctly, he had given Qing Ju a thousand low-grade Orbs of Will each. It was hard to tell how much of a difference there was!
Tian Yu and Liu Xing smiled stiffly as they tried to refuse, but Miao Yi forcefully gave them to them. He then said with a serious expression, "This is what you deserve. When I'm not around, you must take good care of my Big Brother!"
'Do I need you to remind me? ' Tian Yu and Liu Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but they could only accept it. More importantly, this gift was not easy to accept. They had to thank him after accepting it. Otherwise, it would be rude. They had no choice but to bow in front of the two guards and say, "Thank you, Lord Miao!"
As soon as he said this, the two guards immediately felt a sense of respect. It seemed like this person was really the Hall Master's sworn brother!
"We are family. You don't have to be so polite. There's no need to send us off." Miao Yi waved his hand to stop the two girls.
Tian Yu squeezed out a smile and said, "It's fine. We will send Lord Miao to the foot of the mountain."
"Hold on!" Seeing that the two of them wouldn't listen to him, Miao Yi immediately gave them a command and mounted his horse. Yan Xiu and the other two quickly followed behind.
Without giving Tian Yu and Liu Xing any chance to say anything, Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
He took the lead and rode out of the palace gates, with Yan Xiu and the other two following closely behind. Tian Yu and Liu Xing could only respectfully send them off. "Have a safe journey, Lord Miao!"
As she watched the four of them jump down the mountain, Tian Yu immediately turned around and warned, "Do not mention what happened just now to anyone. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
The two of them naturally knew that Huo Lingxiao didn't want to acknowledge this sworn brother.
The two guards looked at each other, a little confused. However, they still cupped their fists and said, "Understood!"
The two girls walked to the edge of the mountain and looked at the departing group. Tian Yu sighed and said, "Lord Miao has finally left. Hopefully, he will go far away and never return to Suppressing Second Hall ever again. I will really become a burden to Milord! "
"That's not right. Sister, look, he stopped again." Liu Xing pointed in the direction of the mountain gate.
Tian Yu immediately opened her transcendence vision and looked over. Yan Xiu jumped down from his mount and stuffed something into the hands of the two cultivators guarding the mountain gate. Miao Yi, who had come to a stop, waved his hands and feet in excitement as he sat on his mount and said something.
Liu Xing turned around and asked in astonishment, "Why isn't he leaving? Why is he lingering in front of the mountain gate?"
Tian Yu was exasperated and amused at the same time. "Needless to say, he must be rewarding him again, saying that the Hall Master is his sworn brother."
Liu Xing immediately turned to look at the two guards at the door. Even sealing their mouths wasn't enough. He didn't know how many more people Miao Yi was going to announce to, that he and the Hall Master were sworn brothers. His expression twitched as he said, "It's over. I'm sure everyone in Suppressing Second Hall will know that he and Milord are sworn brothers."
"Go! Let's go back and tell Milord. "
The two ladies watched as Miao Yi and his group left, then quickly returned to the palace. Along the way, they bumped into Fan Zizhang, who was sweating profusely. The two ladies nodded and ignored him, then quickly returned to the harem. When they saw Huo Lingxiao with a dark expression on his face, they told him about how Miao Yi had gone around announcing that he was sworn brothers with the Hall Master.
'I knew nothing good would come out of acknowledging this sworn brother. It sure is troublesome!' Huo Lingxiao paced back and forth in the main hall with his hands behind his back. Then, he grabbed the teacup on the coffee table and gulped down a mouthful of tea. He tried his best to calm his emotions, then slowly sat down and asked, "What do you think of this cheap brother of mine?"
The two ladies exchanged glances. They were a little hesitant to speak, as it was difficult for them to do so.
Huo Lingxiao could see their hesitation, so he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. I won't blame you if you're wrong."
Liu Xing cautiously said, "Milord, forgive me for being blunt, but after this Lord Miao found out about your identity, he felt a little smug!"
'Pa!' Huo Lingxiao slammed his hand on the coffee table and nodded. "I don't even know how to describe how angry he is. You've hit the nail on the head. That's right. He's a smug smug! How dare he kill one of my men in front of me without my permission! "
'It's too late for you to say that now. He killed you right in front of your face. You didn't say anything before, so what's the point of saying it now?! ' Tian Yu thought to herself. However, she had a different opinion on the matter. She cautiously asked, "Milord, why do I feel that this Lord Miao isn't as simple as he looks? And he's very smart. Even though he looks like he's acting recklessly, he's actually very meticulous. No one can do anything to him. Think about it. If he were that simple, how would he have been able to fight his way out of the 180,000 cultivators in the Sea of Constellations and come back alive? "
Huo Lingxiao nodded.
"Fight his way out of the 180,000 cultivators?" Liu Xing couldn't help but laugh. "Big Sister, why are your words exactly the same as Miao Yi's? Would a truly capable person keep bragging like that? I think this Lord Miao might just be lucky, and a little … a little … "
Huo Lingxiao lifted his head and asked, "A little what?"
Liu Xing whispered, "I think he's a little stupid."
Huo Lingxiao nodded. "Liu Xing is right. He is indeed a little stupid. If he wasn't a little stupid, he wouldn't have been able to threaten me with a spear at the plum gardens back then." He then stood up and walked to the door with his hands behind his back, sighing. "It doesn't matter if he's a little stupid or not. I do hope that this guy can be a little smarter and cause less trouble. I'm just worried that he'll act arrogantly and use my name to stir up trouble. When that happens, should I do something about it? If I don't, what would he think of me, his sworn brother? But if I do something about it, I'm afraid he'll become even more arrogant. Am I supposed to keep wiping his ass for him? "
Just as Tian Yu and Liu Xing expected, a few days later, the news of South Edict Manor's Mount Calming Sea Chieftain Miao Yi and Hall Master Huo Lingxiao being sworn brothers had already spread like wildfire. Even the news of Miao Yi slaughtering all the disciples of the three major sects in Mount Calming Sea had been covered up.
Many people were secretly discussing this matter. No wonder this Mountain Chieftain Miao was so arrogant and dared to act so viciously. It turned out that he was Hall Master Huo Lingxiao's sworn brother. It turned out that he had Huo Lingxiao backing him up. No wonder he was so fearless!
Even though Miao Yi had prepared so many testimonies, the three major sects were still causing quite a headache for Yang Qing. They wanted Yang Qing to punish Miao Yi for acting on his own in such an important matter, and wanted him to send letters to the other territories to intercept Miao Yi and bring him back. If the two Manors had known about this beforehand, how could they have allowed Miao Yi to do this? Did he really think that the forces of the two Manors and the three major sects were nothing more than decorations? 'You f * cking killed all the disciples of the three major sects in Mount Calming Sea in one go. Not a single one was left. How are we going to explain this to our masters? You should have at least left a few alive! '
The matter of them becoming sworn brothers came at the right time. How could Yang Qing let go of such a good opportunity? 'I will handle this matter impartially. If you have any objections, you can go talk to the Hall Master.'
The prestige of a Hall Master was not just for show. He was a cultivator of a completely different realm. However, there were still people from the three major sects who went to the Hall Master to complain.
In the end, Huo Lingxiao threw out a pile of testimonies and angrily rebuked, 'These are the testimonies of your own people. Have you seen them clearly? Are you telling me that those who have rebelled, conspired against the law, and disobeyed orders cannot be killed? Are you three major sects colluding with each other to ignore the Celestial Nation's rules and rebel? Those who colluded with evil deeds, like Shen Fenghua, must be executed! '
Huo Lingxiao was a person who cared a lot about his reputation. He didn't announce to the public that Shen Fenghua was killed in front of him. Instead, he said that he colluded with the three major sects and offended his superiors, and was executed according to the law! 'This is to prove that I am handling this matter impartially. I even executed my own trusted aide!'
Once this news came out, the three major sects immediately calmed down. They also found a reason to answer to their masters. 'It's not that we are incompetent, but that Miao Yi has someone supporting him from behind!'
However, the troops within Suppressing Second Hall were secretly discussing this matter. 'It's good to have someone like Miao Yi who has a backer. Even after stirring up such a huge mess, he still has someone backing him up!'
However, Yang Qing still felt that this matter was inconceivable. On a drizzling day, the misty rain shrouded the verdant mountains. Yang Qing paced back and forth in the picturesque Misty Rain Pavilion as he muttered, "Are Miao Yi and the Hall Master really sworn brothers?"
Qing Mei replied, "This matter has spread throughout the entire Suppressing Second Hall. However, Suppressing Second Hall hasn't come out to refute the rumors, so it must be true."
Yang Qing reached out his hand to touch the drizzle outside. He gently shook his head and said, "If Miao Yi and the Hall Master were already sworn brothers, why would the Hall Master choose Miao Yi for the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade?"
Qing Ju asked, "Could it be that they just became sworn brothers?"
Yang Qing waved his hand and said, "Impossible! Huo Lingxiao isn't an idiot. If he became sworn brothers with Miao Yi at this juncture, then he's clearly going against the three major sects. Huo Lingxiao has nothing better to do … But I can't shake the feeling that Miao Yi and Huo Lingxiao have a relationship since a long time ago. It seems like Miao Yi had purposely set up this whole thing. That's why he dared to kill Miao Yi so brazenly because he knew that Huo Lingxiao was going to clean up after him. However, this doesn't explain why Huo Lingxiao would choose Miao Yi to go to his death in the Sea of Constellations … I can't figure it out. I really can't figure it out! "
He kept shaking his head in confusion. Even if he was an immortal who could predict the future, he still couldn't figure out what exactly was going on …
In the incomparably bustling capital city of the Fifth Earthly Branch, Lin Pingping and Luo Ping stood on top of the same mountain, taking turns to look out into the distance.
Qian 'Er had already sent a message to Lin Pingping to inform her that Miao Yi was coming to the capital city, telling her to make the necessary preparations. After calculating the time, Lin Pingping left the city five kilometers ahead of time to welcome him. She had been waiting here for almost two days, afraid that it would be disrespectful if she missed him.
Of course, Luo Ping knew that Miao Yi was coming to the capital city to meet the Overlord, so he went to look for Lin Pingping several times to ask her about the exact time Miao Yi would be arriving. Lin Pingping had always been taken care of by the Overlord, so she couldn't bring herself to do it. After some thought, she realized that it wasn't something that she couldn't divulge. That was why she waited here with Luo Ping.
What a joke! Miao Yi had survived the Sea of Constellations, so he must be extremely wealthy. Such a big client was enough for Luo Ping to temporarily set aside everything else on hand and come to welcome him in advance. If he could establish a good relationship with Miao Yi, he would be able to make several transactions in one go. How could he miss out on such a good opportunity?
"They're here!" Luo Ping suddenly pointed at a few black dots on the main road in the distance.
Lin Pingping hurriedly came out from under the tree's shade and opened her transcendence vision to take a look. After confirming it was indeed Miao Yi, she nervously nodded her head. Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen Miao Yi for a long time, but the distance made her more fearful.
