As soon as he said this, everyone looked over. The workers were quite envious of Miao Yi. They were all workers, but look at how well he was doing. Not only did he have the least amount of work to do, he even drank with the beautiful Lady Boss every day. Now that he had the experience, he still remembered Niu Er.
In Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun's eyes, Miao Yi had always been so awesome. He would go wherever he went. It was only natural that he was the best worker.
The Lady Boss, who was slowly sipping her wine, glanced at him.
However, Miao Yi didn't realize this. His thoughts and pursuits were different. His goal was different from the workers in this store.
To him, now that they were gone, he could focus on his cultivation. The level of the birthday celebration was too high. Even if he went, he would only be an errand boy. How would the South Pole Ancestor know who he was? Even if he went to kowtow to him, he wouldn't appreciate it. Was there a need for him to waste his time to celebrate his birthday?
Miao Yi was taken aback. He swallowed the food in his mouth and gulped down a mouthful of wine. He said cheerfully, "That's not a place for me to join in the fun. You guys go ahead." He turned around and handed an empty wine cup to Pi Junzi. "Come, come. Let's fill our cups. Have a safe journey, Lady Boss!"
The group cheered and filled their cups. The carpenter was speechless.
The Lady Boss smiled and raised her cup, accepting everyone's blessings.
Everyone was just trying to be nice. The store was busy, so they couldn't stay for too long. There were still customers waiting outside.
After dispersing from the kitchen, everyone went about their own business.
Under the moonlight, the Lady Boss walked in front, followed by the scholar, carpenter, and stonemason. The cook stayed in the kitchen, and Miao Yi walked at the back with a white towel draped over his shoulder.
The scholar suddenly stopped and waited for Miao Yi to walk up. He placed an arm on Miao Yi's shoulder and said, "Why wouldn't you go if you have the chance? If you really want to go. " He pointed at the Lady Boss in front of him and said, "We'll help you ask the Lady Boss to let us bring you along."
'Who said I really want to go?' Miao Yi quickly waved his hand. "No need, no need. It's not that troublesome."
"Hey! It's not troublesome at all. " The scholar chuckled and shouted, "Lady Boss, why don't we bring him along to experience it?"
Miao Yi quickly said, "No need. It's too troublesome to bring me along, so I won't join in the fun. "
The Lady Boss stopped and turned around. She looked at them and asked, "He doesn't want to go. Why do you want him to come along? "
The scholar asked curiously, "Lady Boss, he should have stayed by your side to serve you! The cook and I can't leave the inn. Only the carpenter and stonemason can help you carry the palanquin. You should at least have a runner by your side, right? "
"The store is so busy. I have to stay and help out," Miao Yi said weakly. Even he felt guilty when he said this.
Sure enough, the stonemason raised an eyebrow and pointed at Miao Yi's nose as he scolded, "What kind of help are you talking about? Don't think we didn't see you lying on the counter and bragging to the innkeeper every time you showed your face in the evening. Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun were the ones who did all the work for you, and you still have the nerve to say that you helped?"
The carpenter nodded and said, "Lady Boss, we'll be gone for a long time this time. Leaving the kid behind is just giving him a chance to slack off. You eat, drink, and live for free. Even we feel uncomfortable looking at you! "
Miao Yi looked at the three of them speechlessly. 'Looks like they can't bear to see me have a good time. What kind of people are they?!'
The three of them were obviously trying to screw this guy over. Not to mention, they had already put it this way. The Lady Boss's mood instantly brightened up. Her lips curled into a teasing smile as she said, "Mm! What you three said makes sense. We just happen to be missing a curtain rollover attendant. Niu Er, I'll bring you out this time to broaden your horizons! "
Miao Yi lowered his gaze and said with a wooden expression, "Can I not go?"
"No!" The three of them said in unison. Then, they clustered around the Lady Boss, who had a teasing smile on her face, and left.
Only Miao Yi was left speechless, silently cursing the bunch of bastards …
Inside the Chamber of Commerce, An Zhengfeng laughed and said, "That kid is impressive indeed. He didn't let us down. As expected, he's getting closer to Yun Zhiqiu step by step. Yun Zhiqiu even brought him along to celebrate the South Pole Patriarch's birthday. It's clear that he's slowly gaining Yun Zhiqiu's trust. "
The white-robed man who was reporting to An Zhengfeng continued, "He wants another hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will!"
"…" An Zhengfeng couldn't bring himself to laugh anymore. His expression instantly darkened. "How long has it been since he took a hundred thousand from me, and now he's asking for it again? Does he really think the Orbs of Will are like grains of sand in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea?! It hasn't even been a year, and this is already the fourth time he's asking for it. What is he trying to do?! "
The white-robed man said helplessly, "He said that the reason he was able to gain Yun Zhiqiu's trust and go to celebrate the South Pole Patriarch's birthday with her was because he invested a lot of money into the innkeeper. He said that he even spent quite a bit of money on the innkeeper. It was only because the innkeeper put in a good word for him in front of Yun Zhiqiu that he was able to get this opportunity. However, the ones accompanying him this time are the carpenter and stonemason. He wants to take this opportunity to invest a little more in them, and try to get them to help him get closer to Yun Zhiqiu. He said … "
An Zhengfeng asked solemnly, "What did he say?"
The white-robed man smiled bitterly. "He said that if you don't think there's a need to spend so much money on those two, then forget it. He'll think of another way."
"…" An Zhengfeng slowly closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. After a long while, he opened them again and sighed. "Those two are Yun Zhiqiu's four trusted aides. With their help, many things will indeed be much easier to accomplish. That kid's plan was right. It's true that a small favor won't be enough to move those four." He waved his hand helplessly. "Forget it. Give it to him! Make him report the amount he spent. Otherwise, I won't be able to reconcile the accounts with my superiors. He keeps asking for it. This is already beyond my authority! "
"Understood!" The white-robed man replied, then continued, "He also said that he doesn't know what's going on with the South Pole Patriarch. He also doesn't know if anyone from the Celestial Nation has gone to celebrate his birthday. If they do, he hopes that they can take care of things in case of any trouble."
An Zhengfeng nodded slightly. "The Venerable Sage will probably send someone over to greet him as well. I will contact the Venerable Sage and ask for reinforcements if necessary. Just let him go in peace! With Yun Zhiqiu around, there shouldn't be any problems. "
"I almost forgot. He also needs a mask that can help him disguise himself," the white-robed man reminded.
"A mask? That kid has thought things through. "An Zhengfeng nodded.
The next day, Miao Yi took a stroll around the tavern's courtyard and discreetly pulled out a storage ring. He invoked his transcendence energy to check and found that he had obtained another one hundred and twenty thousand low-grade Orbs of Will. His lips curled into a smile as he secretly rejoiced. It seemed like he had also made up for his so-called 'spent' portion.
It couldn't be helped. He didn't have many opportunities or excuses. As long as he could find one, he couldn't let it go. He couldn't cultivate in peace because of those bastards here. He had to get some compensation from the Chamber of Commerce …
Two months passed by quickly for a cultivator. In the blink of an eye, it was time to celebrate the birthday.
The carpenter and stonemason came together and kicked open Miao Yi's door at the same time. The carpenter yelled, "Are you done yet?"
Miao Yi was already used to this. After reinstalling the door bolt a dozen times, he knew there was no need to do so anymore. They didn't even treat his door as a door. They never had the habit of knocking on it.
Miao Yi picked up a mirror from the window and looked at his face. He said, "What's the hurry? The Lady Boss isn't rushing me."
"Oh! You know how to dress up before going out! " The two of them walked over curiously. Miao Yi put away the mirror and turned around. The two of them were instantly shocked. He had disguised himself.
With an expressionless face, Miao Yi chuckled and said, "Forgive me. My cultivation may be low, but I have seen many of the upper echelons of the six nations. I heard that all six nations will be sending people, so I have to be careful. Let's go!"
The three of them went to the small house on the rooftop and respectfully invited the Lady Boss to move out.
The Lady Boss opened the door and came out. Her gaze fell on Miao Yi's face, but she didn't say anything. With a wave of her hand, a fragrant bed draped with a pink gauze curtain fell to the ground.
"Why are you still in a daze? Don't you know what the curtain rollers do?" The carpenter pushed Miao Yi, causing him to stumble.
Miao Yi was speechless. He stepped forward and opened the gauze curtain, then respectfully invited the Lady Boss inside.
The Lady Boss adjusted her skirt behind her hips and sat on the bed. She lay on her side and used her arms as a pillow. Her posture was extremely seductive, just like the first time Miao Yi saw her.
Miao Yi muttered to himself, 'This woman's sleeping posture is really beautiful …'
The carpenter and stonemason walked to the front and back of the bed and were about to lift the poles to their shoulders. Beside them, Miao Yi said helplessly, "What should I do? I don't know how to fly. "
The stonemason smiled and said, "You can just hang down there."
"No way! You want me to hang all the way? That's so unsightly. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the Lady Boss? " As soon as Miao Yi finished speaking, he saw the Lady Boss tap the end of the bed with her foot, wearing an embroidered shoe, indicating for him to sit there.
That was fine. That was what he meant when he asked. How could hanging in the air be as comfortable as sitting? Miao Yi immediately ran to the end of the bed, lifted the gauze curtain and sat down.
"Let's go!" The Lady Boss said lazily.
The carpenter and stonemason lifted the palanquin on their shoulders and floated into the air despite the absence of wind. Suddenly, a golden mist spiraled out from within the tent. Miao Yi turned around and saw one of the golden pearls that the Lady Boss wore beneath her dress instantly burst into golden mist and seeped out from the hole in the gauze. It then transformed into the silhouette of a golden Roc, enveloping both the Lady Boss and the palanquin as they flew away.
Only now did Miao Yi realize that the golden pearls beneath the Lady Boss's dress weren't just for decoration, or to keep her dress from being exposed. They were actually transcendent artifacts. 'Oh my! I didn't count them carefully. How many transcendent artifacts are there? '
As they left the tavern, the chef and scholar cupped their fists and watched as the golden Roc fluttered its wings in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a streak of golden light and shot towards the horizon.
The flying speed of a Purple Lotus expert was indeed extraordinary. This was Miao Yi's first time experiencing such a high flying speed. The clouds on either side of him quickly receded, and the yellow sand dunes beneath him also receded like waves. He was truly soaring freely between heaven and earth.
"Carpenter, how long will it take for us to reach the Antarctic Ice Palace?" Miao Yi suddenly asked.
"About three days. Why? Are you in a hurry?" The carpenter asked in return.
Miao Yi was speechless. Even with such a high flying speed, he still needed three days? That was quite a distance. He shook his head and said, "There's no hurry! Sitting here for three days isn't a solution either. I'll cultivate on the side. "
"There's no need to rush your cultivation. Let's have a chat first." The stonemason spoke up from behind, "No matter what, you are still a Manor Head of the Celestial Nation. You have millions of followers under your command. I'm sure you have quite a few beauties serving you, right?"
