The Lady Boss's mind went blank when she thought about how the bastard had seen her naked. She realized that she was reaping what she sowed!
How could she accept the money she had just received? Some things couldn't be compensated with money. If she accepted the money, what would she become?
But she couldn't say it out loud. She still wanted to save face. She threw the storage ring back to the carpenter and said, "Carpenter, keep an eye on it. Whoever broke it will have to fix it!"
The carpenter nodded and laughed, "Got it. I promise I won't let this kid slack off!"
The Lady Boss turned around expressionlessly and left without saying anything else.
'It's over just like that?' Miao Yi's heart thumped. The Lady Boss didn't seem to be affected, but he could tell from the slight changes in her expression that she had probably found out.
The collapsed floor. Repair it! Repair it overnight! How could he not atone for his sins with good deeds?
In less than a day, the collapsed floor was repaired before dawn. It was beautifully and tidily repaired, and the clay in the partition layer was refilled. The things that had fallen downstairs were washed and put back in their original positions. Everything that needed to be repaired had been repaired.
Before the supervising carpenter left, he patted Miao Yi's shoulder and chuckled. Miao Yi didn't know what he was laughing about, but he felt that his smile was a little strange.
Not far from the small house, the bed that Miao Yi had seen before was quietly placed there. The pink veil fluttered gently in the wind, and a graceful figure lay quietly on her side. She had been there since last night.
Miao Yi walked up to her guiltily and laughed dryly, "Lady Boss, it's been repaired. Please see if you're satisfied."
The Lady Boss grunted and lazily got up. Miao Yi quickly helped her lift the veil.
After she came out, the Lady Boss casually put the bed into her storage ring and said, "Come, let's go take a look."
"Yes!" Miao Yi carefully accompanied her.
The Lady Boss gave him a sidelong glance and asked curiously, "Niu Er. Why do I feel like there's something wrong with you? "
"Ah … Really? I don't think so! " Miao Yi hurriedly waved his hand. Actually, he also realized that he was being a little too cautious. On the other hand, the Lady Boss seemed to be completely fine. He couldn't help but mutter to himself. Could it be that he was overthinking and the other party didn't notice anything at all?
When the two of them entered the house, almost everything was restored to its original state. Apart from the floor being new, there was not much change.
Miao Yi even jumped a few times. "Lady Boss, it's solid now. It won't collapse anymore."
"Alright, that's all for now. If there's a next time, don't blame me for being impolite!" The Lady Boss walked around the house and warned coldly.
"I won't, I won't. I'll definitely be more careful in the future." Miao Yi nodded and bowed.
"Go back to your business!" The lady boss waved her hand.
The two of them went downstairs one after another. Miao Yi went back to his room to tidy up, while the Lady Boss went on her usual patrol.
As the sun set. As promised, Miao Yi came over to accompany the Lady Boss for a drink. The two of them chatted happily.
Carefully observing the Lady Boss, Miao Yi didn't notice anything amiss. He heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like he was just overthinking things …
With this, Miao Yi could do anything for the Lady Boss without any complaints. As long as the time was up, he would complete the task on time.
The days passed like this. Early in the morning, Miao Yi would deliver a bath to the Lady Boss, then quickly tidy up before returning to cultivate. When evening approached, he would help out in the main hall for a while, then return to the rooftop to accompany the Lady Boss for a drink. As soon as the sky darkened, he would immediately deliver a bath, tidy up, and continue cultivating.
Apart from cultivation, he would only be able to complete two hours' worth of tasks every day. The Lady Boss kept her word and didn't ask him to do anything else …
Naturally, the Chamber of Commerce quickly received word that Miao Yi had become an employee of the tavern. When An Zhengfeng heard the news, it was like a heavy blow to his heart. He excitedly said to the white-robed man who reported the news, "I had him keep an eye on Yun Zhiqiu, and he actually managed to infiltrate the inner circle of Tempest Tavern and become an employee! Good job, kid! I've been trying to infiltrate the place for so many years, but to no avail. This kid managed to get it done as soon as he stepped in. He is indeed a genius! Good! This is just too good! We can finally answer to the Realm Beyond Heaven! "
The white-robed man smiled. "This will save the Chamber of Commerce quite a bit of money!"
"Hey!" An Zhengfeng waved his hand. "We can't be stingy with this money. It's not like you don't know what kind of person this kid is. He might cause trouble if we don't pay him. Besides, he was the one who saved up the money in the first place. Not only do we have to pay him, we have to pay him even more. As long as we can do good with our money, then what's the harm in giving him the money? I'm still waiting for him to perform another amazing feat!"
As such, the news quickly spread to the Realm Beyond Heaven. An Zhengfeng was stationed in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. On the surface, he was under Huyan Taibao's control, but in reality, he had other means of communication with the Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun.
Someone had successfully infiltrated the inner circle of Tempest Tavern. This matter immediately caught the attention of the Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun, who ordered An Zhengfeng to ensure Miao Yi's safety. His task of gathering information could even be put aside for the time being. He must not be exposed, and she urged Miao Yi to continue working hard to gain Yun Zhiqiu's trust.
Mu Fanjun repeatedly told An Zhengfeng that as long as Miao Yi could gain Yun Zhiqiu's trust, he would be of great use in the future. She wanted An Zhengfeng to do his best to support Miao Yi's undercover operation … Unfortunately, Miao Yi didn't know about this. Otherwise, he would definitely continue to demand more!
Surrounded by waterfalls, Traversing Water Palace!
In front of the vermillion railings of the cloudy cliff, Tao Qingli supported Granny Tao as they stood. She held the jade archive from the Realm Beyond Heaven in one hand and asked, "Grandma, is it really that important to be an employee at Tempest Tavern?"
"Ever since the Venerable Lord was young, she has always been very strong-willed, while Yun Aotian was wild and unruly. Unfortunately, the two of them ended up together, and they were always at odds with each other from the very beginning. The Venerable Lord felt that it was the greatest humiliation of her life after Yun Aotian abandoned her. She hated Yun Aotian to the core, but unfortunately, she was no match for him. Yun Aotian was a man who dominated the world, a man who never backed down in the face of his enemies. He was a hero of his generation, and yet he was defeated by his most beloved granddaughter. This granddaughter of his was a sore spot for him! It looks like the Venerable Lord placed Miao Yi by Yun Aotian's granddaughter's side as a hidden pawn. Once the opportunity arises, that Yun brat's life will be miserable again! Sigh! Women shouldn't make things difficult for other women! "
"I understand now. This matter is very important to the Venerable Lord. No wonder she wanted us to strictly forbid anyone from leaking the news that Miao Yi had gone to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. She even wanted to comfort him."
Granny Tao chuckled. "It looks like this Miao Yi isn't just any ordinary person. He even managed to infiltrate Tempest Tavern! He was able to slaughter his way out of the 180,000 cultivators of the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, massacre Tranquil Sun Manor, and escape unscathed. Then, he was ambushed by the Hive Gang and Peony in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. He even managed to find the Netherdragon Ship that no one could find. And now, he's managed to infiltrate Tempest Tavern, a place that Old Man An hasn't been able to infiltrate even after so many years. It's clear what he's capable of. Fortunately, his cultivation is still low. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to use him! "
Tempest Tavern. After receiving the message, Miao Yi took out a jade archive and secretly rejoiced.
Apart from being the Manor Head of Raincloud Manor, he was also the Deacon of the Flowing Clouds Dune Sea branch of the Celestial Nation Chamber of Commerce, receiving a salary equivalent to that of a Hall Master. Even though this branch wasn't big, it was on the same level as the twelve main branches of the twelve capital cities of the Celestial Nation Chamber of Commerce.
That was to say … All of a sudden, Miao Yi became the Deacon of the headquarters in a capital city.
Putting aside the fact that he was receiving double pay at the same time, Miao Yi reckoned that there were very few people like him who were able to hold a position in both the local power and the Chamber of Commerce at the same time. The next time he saw Luo Ping and Wen Fang, he reckoned that he would leave them dumbfounded. The two of them had worked hard in the Chamber of Commerce for so many years. He wondered how they would feel when they saw him, their superior.
What made Miao Yi wonder was, with this identity, would he be able to meddle in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce in the future? The Chamber of Commerce's information channels are quite well-informed. I wonder if I can get a discount when I buy and sell things from the Chamber of Commerce …
Time passed just like that, year after year, and Miao Yi could be said to have contributed time and time again. From time to time, he would provide 'important' information to the Chamber of Commerce. An Zhengfeng was very excited. He had never received so much information about Tempest Tavern before, so he wasn't stingy with his rewards.
It couldn't be helped. Miao Yi had a benefactor helping him. If any important figures from the Devil Nation or the Boundless Nation came to meet with the Lady Boss, Miao Yi wouldn't even need to ask around. The Lady Boss would then selectively reveal the information to him so that he could claim his reward.
The reason why the Lady Boss selectively revealed information to him was because it was indeed inappropriate to reveal information about certain important figures. Miao Yi was aware of this as well. In any case, you can just give me whatever information you think is suitable. I won't ask around either. After we claim the reward, we'll split it fifty-fifty.
He wanted to be in cahoots with the Lady Boss, but unfortunately, the Lady Boss didn't think much of it. She told him to keep it for himself as payment for his wages.
The countries' enthusiasm for the Netherdragon Ship didn't diminish with each passing year. As a result, Tempest Tavern was very busy nowadays. Even so, the Lady Boss would still take the carpenters and stonemasons who were relatively free out on a trip every year.
Miao Yi already had a clear idea of what they were going to do. She was going to deliver cultivation resources to that imprisoned man of hers. She also had to make sure that all the necessary arrangements were done.
However, every time the Lady Boss came back … She would stay cooped up in her room for a few days, drinking until the stench of alcohol filled the air. You could even smell it from outside the room. She didn't bother to invoke any arts to ward off the smell. She would simply drink herself into oblivion, and when she came out again, she would be the same Lady Boss as before.
Miao Yi could only sigh. The Lady Boss's level of contact was too high. His abilities were limited, and he couldn't help much.
He had his own matters to attend to, and cultivating was naturally the most important thing for him. He also maintained constant contact with Raincloud Manor. Qian'Er and Xue'Er had hinted several times that they wanted to visit him, but Miao Yi always told them to focus on improving their cultivation and wait for him to return.
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed. Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun had already gotten used to living in Tempest Tavern.
Inside the smoky kitchen, Pi Junzi had already finished cooking. He placed a few dishes onto Miao Yi's tray and chuckled, "Brother Niu, everything's here."
Even though Pi Junzi was older than him, Miao Yi was already used to it. As soon as he carried the tray into the main hall, Tao Yongchun hurriedly ran over and helped him with his chores. Every day, Miao Yi would show up at this time to do his work. Tao Yongchun was very tactful, and would come over every day to snatch his work.
Miao Yi placed the white handkerchief around his wrist over his shoulder, then walked over to the counter and leaned against it, starting to brag to the scholar.
Suddenly, a golden roc descended from the sky and landed in the courtyard outside. A beautiful lady dressed in a long purple dress jumped down from it.
The lady kept her mount and strutted into the tavern. She immediately slapped the counter and giggled, "Innkeeper, a room please!"
The scholar stared at her in shock. Leaning against the counter, Miao Yi immediately replied on his behalf, "I'm sorry, but we're full. You …"
The scholar patted Miao Yi's shoulder and smiled bitterly. "Take her to see the Lady Boss."
"Uh …" Miao Yi was taken aback, but he quickly realized that this was the Lady Boss's private guest. He quickly smiled and invited her in. "Please follow me."
