The Lady Boss was amused by his words. "You're quite the weirdo, kid! Who would have a subordinate like you? You're really unlucky. You didn't even need to be forced to betray your own organization. "
"How is this considered a betrayal?"
"If this isn't considered a betrayal, then what is?"
"What I'm doing won't cause any harm to the organization I'm in, nor will it cause any harm to you. I can also guarantee my own safety. To put it bluntly, I'm not like you. You can sit here every day, drink wine, and get emotional over some good or bad things, but I don't have the right to do so. I'm just trying my best for myself and the people around me. I'm made of flesh and blood, and I have my own emotions as well. I'm just as emotional, but I can only keep them to myself. Because I'm just a lowly nobody. I don't have the right to waste my time on something like this. I have to face everything seriously. "
The Lady Boss froze with the wine jug halfway to her mouth. She stared at Miao Yi in a daze, as though something was stirring in her eyes.
After gulping down a mouthful of wine, the Lady Boss placed the jug on the log and smiled. "You said that you should have completed your mission a month ago. May I know what it was?"
Miao Yi's brows drooped slightly. "I can't tell you that. First of all, it has nothing to do with you. Secondly, if I were to tell you, then I would really become a traitor who betrayed the organization."
"Oh! You have a bottom line after all. " The Lady Boss rested her chin on her arm, which was resting on her knees. She smiled and said, "Then let me guess. Is it related to the Netherdragon Ship?"
Miao Yi calmly replied, "Lady Boss, you sure know how to imagine things."
The Lady Boss ignored him with a smile and continued, "You said you completed your mission. Did you find the Netherdragon Ship?"
Miao Yi smiled bitterly. "Lady Boss, why do you have to link the Netherdragon Ship to me? It's completely unrelated. I don't mind telling you the truth. My mission has nothing to do with the Netherdragon Ship. To me, the Netherdragon Ship only exists in legends. I've never even seen what it looks like. To be honest, I do want to see it for myself. But that kind of thing is too far away for a nobody like me. "
Seeing that he was speaking so seriously, the Lady Boss couldn't help but mutter in her heart, could it be that I guessed wrong? He raised his hand and ran his fingers through his hair. "Let's not go off topic! The shop was very busy now. Since I don't have enough manpower, you can come work in my shop as an assistant. You'll be paid ten low-grade Orbs of Will every day, and you'll be paid every month. You don't have to tell me about your background. It's meaningless to me. When your mission is over, you can go back when you want. I won't stop you. Otherwise, I'll really kick you out of the inn. The innkeeper isn't joking with you. There's no reason for a guest to stay in the storeroom forever. Once word of this spreads, all our acquaintances will come looking for you. Our inn's rules will be broken. If we help you but not others, we'll offend them. "
Miao Yi was speechless. He said, "I already told you. I was ordered to keep an eye on you. How dare you provoke me? "
"It's not a big deal. It's not like you're the only one who wants to keep an eye on me. Whoever wants to keep an eye on me can keep an eye on me. Those messy fights have nothing to do with me. I'm just here to socialize. Complicated people always like to think of things as complicated as conspiracies." The Lady Boss narrowed her eyes. "I've already put it this way. Don't tell me you're still treating yourself like someone's precious treasure? I've already given you enough face. Don't be so unreasonable! "
"I'm not being unreasonable at all! Your shop is too busy. I just want to hide here and cultivate in peace. If I really become a waiter, where would I find the time to cultivate? I'm guessing you won't be able to settle down anytime soon. Who knows how many years this mess with the Netherdragon Ship will last? If it's really over in a flash, then I'll just give in … "As Miao Yi spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up. He seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed in surprise, "Lady Boss, aren't you short on manpower? I have two suitable people I can introduce to you. "
The Lady Boss narrowed her eyes at him, gnashing her teeth in anger. 'Do you really think just anyone can come into my shop?!' However, on the surface, she calmly said, "Tell me about them."
"They are two Yao cultivators. I met them during the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. Because they teamed up with me to fight, they offended Yao Sage Ji Huan's nephew, Bai Ziliang. They didn't dare to establish themselves in the Yao Nation anymore, so they fled to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea and hid there for many years. They even stayed at your tavern for a period of time. They gave you almost all of the wealth they brought from the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. "
"Are they the ones who took you away after you fought with those two assassins?"
"Yes! That's them. These two people don't have any background, so they're definitely reliable. If the Lady Boss doesn't mind that they're Yao cultivators, why don't you take them in and reward them with a bowl of rice? If you agree, I'll help you call them over right now so you can meet them in person. "
The Lady Boss tilted her head and looked at him. "You really know how to think of others! You should first explain your situation to them. It won't be too late to talk about them later. "
Miao Yi was taken aback. "Aren't you short on manpower?" What he was implying was that he had already found two people for her.
"If I wanted to recruit people on a whim, would I need you to introduce them to me? I can have as many as I want! "
"That's not it! Lady Boss, those two fellows are really suitable to be your assistants. Just be a little more generous and take them in. Those two fellows really have it rough … "Miao Yi began to patiently and meticulously persuade her.
When the Lady Boss heard him, she raised her hand and patted her red lips. She let out a bored yawn and said, "Seeing how sincere you are, I'll bring them over so I can take a look."
"Alright! I'll help you find them right now. "Miao Yi had finally helped Pi Junzi and Pi Junzi out from a huge problem. He put down the wine jug and ran off.
Unexpectedly, the Lady Boss's calm voice came from behind him. "You can move out of the storeroom tomorrow."
Miao Yi immediately stopped running. He froze on the spot and slowly turned around, then slowly walked back. "Lady Boss, you can't be serious, right?"
"What do you mean I'm not? I've already told you very clearly. Letting you stay in the storeroom will only bring me trouble. Of course, if you become an assistant in my tavern, then all your problems will naturally be solved. No one will be able to say anything. "The Lady Boss waved her hand and said," Go! Bring those two fellows you mentioned here for me to take a look at. "
'Go where?!' Miao Yi sat down again, his face revealing a determined expression. He braced himself and said, "Lady Boss, I can be your waiter, but can you promise me one thing?"
The Lady Boss's eyes flashed. "Little Brother, I've already helped you enough. You can't push your luck!"
"Lady Boss, just be a good person to the end. Look at me, it's not easy for me either …"
"Stop! Don't?? Bribing Luo Huangbin? Seducing Sang Jun?
"You see, I'm only willing to be your assistant so that I can properly stay in your tavern, right? Well, I don't want my wages either. Can you let me do less work so that I can have more time to cultivate? "
The Lady Boss hugged the wine jug and took a gulp. She slowly said, "I don't have the habit of deducting the wages of my subordinates. I'll pay them what they deserve. Otherwise, they'll have an excuse not to work. What if I can't order them around?"
"I'll definitely listen to you. Just give me a little more time."
"Seeing that you don't want your wages, how about this! I won't let you do any extra work. Just show up in the main hall once a day and work for a quarter of an hour. Send two buckets of bath water to my room in the morning and evening. Also, take care of the cleanliness of my small room. Spend some time cleaning it every day. Also … accompany me for a drink at this time every day. These tasks won't even take up an hour of your time every day. Can you accept it? If you can't, then get lost! "
There was no room for negotiation. However, it wouldn't take much time anyway. Miao Yi immediately nodded and smiled. "Fine, fine, fine. Then … can Lady Boss accept the two people I introduced?" If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to help Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun, he would definitely haggle for more benefits.
The Lady Boss seemed to be in a good mood. "Let's take a look at them first. Now …" She turned around in shock, but Miao Yi was already out of sight.
Soon, she saw Miao Yi appear in the courtyard below. He looked around furtively as he stuck a chopstick on the courtyard wall. The Lady Boss was speechless. It turned out that they had arranged a signal beforehand.
Only after the sun had set the next day did Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun appear at the entrance of the tavern. After all, the two of them couldn't keep watch outside the tavern the entire time. It was a little late when they noticed the signal.
Miao Yi had already changed into the tavern's waiter's uniform. He had a felt hat on his head and a white towel draped over his shoulder. He waited for the two of them for a long time, then stood in the courtyard and waved at them.
The two of them walked in and were a little surprised to see Miao Yi's attire. Pi Junzi asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Miao Yi transmitted his voice over. "I'm now an employee of this tavern. Don't say that I didn't take care of you two. I had to spend a lot of effort to convince the Lady Boss to let you two into the tavern as employees as well. Tell me if you two are willing to work for her. If not, then turn around and leave immediately."
The two of them were overjoyed. Tempest Tavern's employees were famous for being treated well, and it was safe as well. To them, this was a great opportunity. How could they not be willing? They nodded repeatedly and said, "I'm willing. I'm willing."
"Good. Talk nicely to the Lady Boss later. Don't mess things up."
"I know, I know."
"Come with me!" Miao Yi waved his hand and led the two of them into the tavern.
Another waiter came running over and smiled at Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun. "I'm sorry, but the tavern is full."
Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "They're on our side. The Lady Boss wants to see them."
The scholar, who was leaning against the counter and trying to stifle his laughter the moment he saw Miao Yi's attire, chuckled and said, "Niu Er, it's these two! They look a little familiar! "
"Yes, yes, yes. Once the matter is settled, I'll bring them over to see you." Miao Yi cupped his fists. Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun also bowed to the scholar in fear. They all knew that he was the innkeeper.
When they reached the backyard, Miao Yi said to the two of them, "Wait here for a moment. I'll be right back."
