Miao Yi rode in front, while Qian'Er and Xue'Er rode on Black Kirin. Quit? Hi, Xiao Yao? Nakajima Toad
As they turned the corner, they immediately saw Luo Ping and Lin Pingping waving at them from the side of the road. Miao Yi gently raised his hand, and the four steeds gradually slowed down before coming to a stop.
Lin Pingping naturally recognized Miao Yi. She quickly swept a glance at the two women behind Miao Yi. Even though she had never met them before, she already had an idea of who was coming. She had already been notified of who was coming and how many people were coming. She quickly stepped forward, lowered her head and cupped her fists, "Your humble servant Lin Pingping pays her respects to Milord, Elder Auntie, and Little Auntie!"
Miao Yi respectfully accepted her bow, then began to examine Lin Pingping from head to toe. He realized that this woman had changed quite a bit.
She was dressed in a beautiful violet dress that outlined her voluptuous and graceful figure. Her hair was tied up neatly, and her skin was fair. When Miao Yi first met him, the aura of a 'refugee' who had to work hard to make a living had disappeared. It was replaced with a hint of grace, and the aura of being born into a wealthy family was once again showing itself. She was originally quite pretty, but her elegance had been overshadowed by hardships. After all these years of 'recovery', she gave off a radiant feeling.
Lin Pingping secretly sized up Miao Yi as well. She noticed that his aura had grown calmer. She didn't know if it was because she was nervous, but she actually felt a sense of pressure when they met again.
Miao Yi nodded with a smile. Meanwhile, Qian'Er and Xue'Er stared at Lin Pingping curiously, because they had heard about what happened to her.
"Brother Miao!" Luo Ping cupped his fists and smiled.
"How could I dare to trouble Brother Luo to personally welcome me?" Miao Yi cupped his fists in return.
"Haha, Brother Miao has made a name for himself after experiencing ten years of danger. It is only right that I come to congratulate you!" Luo Ping glanced at Qian'Er and Xue'Er's mounts, and he was secretly impressed. They really struck it rich, even their maidservants' mounts are rare spiritual beasts.
After exchanging some pleasantries, they rode side by side and chatted happily. Lin Pingping, on the other hand, accompanied the other three and answered questions.
The group crossed the bridge into the city, and what entered their eyes was the connected mountains and rivers, and the buildings were like the clouds. There was an endless stream of boats on the winding and winding waterways of various sizes. The vast capital city that stretched as far as the eye could see shocked the newcomers. They had no idea how big the entire capital city was. The boundless prosperity made Qian 'Er and Xue' Er feel refreshed. They had never seen such a bustling scene before.
Yan Xiu, who had just arrived, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. "As expected of a capital city!"
From time to time, Qian'Er and Xue'Er would ask Lin Pingping all sorts of questions, and Lin Pingping would answer every single one of them.
"My lord, when can you come here to oversee this place?" Snow suddenly blurted out.
Hearing this, Luo Ping turned around in shock. Qian'Er quickly reprimanded in a low voice, "Sister, don't spout nonsense!"
Xue 'er quickly realized what was going on. This was the capital city, a city directly under the jurisdiction of the Overlord of the Fifth Earthly Branch. If he wanted to keep watch here, wouldn't he have to force the current Overlord to step down? He immediately looked at Miao Yi anxiously, afraid that his words would cause some sort of disaster.
On the other hand, Miao Yi had a calm expression on his face. He smiled at Luo Ping and said, "I have embarrassed myself in front of Brother Luo. I have always stayed in this small place and have never come out to see the world. I was a little excited to see this bustling city for the first time, so I spoke without thinking. I hope Brother Luo won't take it to heart."
Luo Ping chuckled, "I didn't mean it. Don't take it seriously! "
Miao Yi turned around and smiled at the two girls, "There's still some time before you have to pay your respects to the Overlord. I'll have Lin Pingping bring you two around the capital city to have some fun. For now, let's settle down first."
The two girls nodded excitedly.
When they arrived at Jade Capital Peak, Lin Pingping immediately took out a number plate and showed it to the guards. They then went straight up the mountain. On the way up, Miao Yi asked Lin Pingping, who was leading the way, "Have you prepared the two extra residences I asked you to?"
He had arranged to meet up with Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei here, and told them that he would have someone make the arrangements in the capital city.
Lin Pingping immediately replied respectfully, "My lord, everything has been arranged."
When they arrived at the picturesque mansion on Jade Capital Peak, Qian'Er looked around and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!" Snow nodded in agreement.
Even though the places they used to live in weren't bad, they were all located deep in the mountains and forests, far away from the secular world. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, they would eventually get tired of looking at it. But now, in this transcendent place, they could see the endless prosperity of the secular world as soon as they stepped out of the residence. Everything in the secular world could be seen, and the beauty of being high above was indescribable. Naturally, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Yan Xiu, on the other hand, was relatively calm. Women tended to exaggerate when it came to beautiful things.
After they settled in, Luo Ping invited the travel-weary Miao Yi to rest for a while. He would prepare a banquet to welcome them at night.
Miao Yi pulled on Luo Ping, who was about to leave, and said, "Brother Luo, I don't know anything about the manors under the Fifth Earthly Branch. May I know where I can find the relevant map? "
Luo Ping was taken aback. He quickly remembered that Miao Yi was about to select a new place to take up his post, so he obviously needed to understand the situation first. He smiled and said, "That's a small matter. The Chamber of Commerce has business channels throughout the entire Celestial Nation. We don't lack such things. I'll help you find them later."
Miao Yi cupped his fists in thanks, and Luo Ping took his leave.
Now that there were no outsiders, and after dismissing the servants in the residence, Miao Yi sat down in the hall and looked at Lin Pingping, saying, "Lin Pingping. You've done well during the years I wasn't around. My two aunties have praised you greatly."
Lin Pingping immediately bowed and said, "My lord, you flatter me. If not for your kindness, Lin Pingping wouldn't be where she is today. This is what I should do."
Miao Yi tilted his head and nodded slightly. Qian'Er immediately took out a storage ring and gave it to Lin Pingping, saying, "This is a reward from my lord."
Lin Pingping thanked Miao Yi. She took a quick look inside and was shocked to find that there were a thousand low-grade Orbs of Will inside. She immediately thanked Miao Yi again.
"This is what you deserve. As long as you serve me faithfully, I will not mistreat my own people." Miao Yi waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to thank him. He then said, "You are operating alone in the capital city. The resources you have are limited. It will be difficult for you to gather information everywhere. Since you are operating here, you will need to make arrangements. I will ask Qian'Er to set up a separate account in the Chamber of Commerce and give you the corresponding resources. You can withdraw as you please, and I will allow you to use it first before reporting it to me. This will allow you to gather information. Also, I will give you five official positions. You can recruit five reliable subordinates from among the Loose Cultivators. They will be under your command and will cooperate with your activities in the capital city. Remember, it is better to have fewer than fewer subordinates. They must be reliable. Once you have made your choice, report to me. I will take care of their official positions. "
After returning from the Sea of Constellations, Miao Yi went through all the news Lin Pingping had received from the capital city over the past few years. He realized that this woman was indeed from a wealthy family. She was quite knowledgeable and knew how to handle matters well. Thus far, she had never caused any trouble. Miao Yi had seen her capabilities and loyalty, so he was prepared to give her more authority. Making things easier for her would be the same as making things easier for himself.
Lin Pingping was pleasantly surprised to hear this. She cupped her fists again and said, "Thank you for your trust, my lord. I will not let you down."
Miao Yi nodded. He took out another jade archive and wrote something on it. He imprinted it with his transcendence seal and handed it over. "Immediately find two Loose Cultivators to wait at the entrance of the mountain. When they receive the two names on the jade archive, bring them to me. The other two residences will be prepared for them."
Lin Pingping took the jade archive and looked at it. The names on it were Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei.
'Aren't these two names on the list of people who returned from the Sea of Constellations as well? 'Lin Pingping thought to herself. She asked Miao Yi if there was anything else, then accepted the order and left.
"Yan Xiu!" Miao Yi called out. He wasn't as courteous as he was to Lin Pingping. He immediately tossed a storage ring over and said, "This is for you."
Yan Xiu caught the storage ring and looked at it. He was even more shocked. Inside the storage ring was a full set of Second Grade Armor Artifacts, as well as ten thousand low-grade Orbs of Will. This was quite a generous reward.
Before he could even express his gratitude, Miao Yi said, "Bath." Then he stood up and left with Qian'Er and Xue'Er.
As for these two women, they no longer needed Miao Yi to reward them with anything. Given their current cultivation bases, they already had more than enough cultivation resources on them. As long as they stayed by Miao Yi's side, as long as Miao Yi had something, the two women would never lack it. They were truly his closest confidants.
The two women only needed to serve Miao Yi loyally. Their relationship with Miao Yi would forever be one where they were bound together for good or ill. Even though they were their master's servants, that was only in front of Miao Yi. When they faced other people in Miao Yi's territory, they were comparable to two mistresses. No matter how many people were envious of them, they couldn't do anything about it.
Inside the bathroom, the clear water rippled gently. Two fair and graceful bodies were wrapped up in layers by Miao Yi's side. It was a sight that could make one's blood boil.
Perhaps it was because it was their first time in the bustling capital city, but Qian'Er and Xue'Er were a little clingy. Their eyes were filled with lust, and they were looking forward to the shower.
However, Miao Yi didn't seem to be in the mood to linger around them. Ever since he returned from the Sea of Constellations, he hadn't touched the two women at all. This time, he was still resting with his eyes closed, allowing the two women to help him wash his body. Qian'Er and Xue'Er's eyes were filled with resentment.
After the bath, Miao Yi once again entered a state of cultivation.
As dusk approached, Luo Ping set up a sumptuous banquet in the mountain pavilion outside his residence. At the foot of the mountain, tens of thousands of houses were lit up. It was a dazzling sight to behold, and it was truly a feast for the eyes to drink and have fun. Qian'Er and Xue'Er's gazes lingered on the foot of the mountain from time to time, filled with anticipation.
At the banquet, even Yan Xiu and Lin Pingping had their own seats. Only Qian'Er and Xue'Er stood behind Miao Yi to serve him.
After all, the two of them were servants, whereas Yan Xiu and Lin Pingping were his subordinates. It was normal for them to sit together with their superiors. If Miao Yi wasn't present, the others would have to invite the two women to sit at the head of the table. However, due to their different statuses, the two women still had to abide by their master and servant relationship in public. Outside of that, no one could say anything if they were to sit together with Miao Yi or even sleep together.
Meanwhile, during the banquet, Miao Yi was deep in thought as he held the map jade archive that Luo Ping had given him. Luo Ping had given him a detailed map of the entire Celestial Nation. However, Miao Yi wasn't in the mood to pay attention to other places at the moment. He only paid attention to the Fifth Earthly Branch. On the map, he could see that the various palaces, halls, and manors were all clearly marked out.
