In the air, Miao Yi turned his head back for a long time with traces of blood at the corner of his mouth. He watched as the coconut trees in the vast expanse of yellow sand gradually disappeared into the distance.
This was the place where he had stayed the longest after stepping into the cultivation world. It was also the place where he felt the most beautiful and the most reluctant to leave. Not even when he left Traversing Moon Palace for Traversing Water Palace did he feel this way.
If she wanted to take her away, would the Celestial Nation be able to tolerate her? The Dao Saint would definitely be furious and wouldn't accept such humiliation.
One thousand years! It was easy to say it out loud, but could he really do it?
"Hurry up and heal your wounds!" The carpenter turned around and reminded.
He had specifically come here to escort Miao Yi back to Raincloud Manor safely. He didn't want anything to happen to Miao Yi along the way. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to the Lady Boss.
Miao Yi turned around, grabbed a stalk of Glorious Star immortal herb, and inhaled the star essence in large gulps …
Flowing Clouds Dune Sea's Celestial Nation Chamber of Commerce. Wu Zhen and Wu Ming flew into the courtyard and quickly entered the Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, the two of them had been secretly protecting Miao Yi all this time. They were responsible for his safety after he left the tavern. However, after that embarrassing incident, the two of them had never seen Miao Yi again. They wouldn't show themselves to him for no reason. To put it bluntly, it was because they were too ashamed to face him.
Miao Yi wasn't the one who took the initiative to do it. It was the two of them who forcefully grabbed onto Miao Yi … Just thinking about that ridiculous situation made the two of them extremely embarrassed!
He went upstairs and knocked on An Zhengfeng's door. An Zhengfeng, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, smiled when he saw the two of them. "Why are you back?"
Both of them were wearing masks. Otherwise, he would have been able to tell from their expressions that something had happened.
"Uncle, something's wrong!" Wu Zhen's voice was filled with unease.
An Zhengfeng's heart skipped a beat. These two were specifically tasked with protecting Miao Yi. What else could this so-called accident be? In a flash, he appeared beside the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Please don't tell me that Miao Yi was killed!"
At this moment, the man in white walked over quickly. The door wasn't closed, and the matter was urgent, so he directly came in. He cupped his hands and said, "Shopkeeper. Something happened to Miao Yi! "
The muscles on An Zhengfeng's face twitched violently. He gritted his teeth and said, "What happened to that guy? Could it be that the killers have appeared again? "
The white-clothed man looked at Wu Zhen and Wu Ming. He didn't recognize the two of them, so he quickly explained, "I just asked around. It was said that the Tempest Tavern had discovered that Miao Yi was a spy, and that Miao Yi had fled for his life. The Lady Boss and the others had personally beaten Miao Yi up, causing him to cough up blood in front of everyone. However, no one knew who had done it. Just in time to save Miao Yi! This matter has already caused an uproar. Everyone is guessing who has the ability to place a spy beside the Lady Boss and become her trusted aide. However, the people in the inn seem to be tight-lipped. No one is willing to spit out the details. "
Who had the ability to turn a spy into the Lady Boss's trusted aide? This is the masterpiece of I, An Zhengfeng! An Zhengfeng asked anxiously, "Where is Miao Yi? Is he dead or alive? "
The white-robed man shook his head and said, "No one saw who the person who saved Miao Yi was. They immediately dragged Miao Yi into the desert and escaped. However, Miao Yi's situation might not be any better. With the Lady Boss personally making a move, with Miao Yi's cultivation, it'll be difficult for him to defend himself. I reckon he'll be heavily injured even if he doesn't die! "
The mission that the Celestial Sage had given them time and time again had now been messed up. And it was all out of the blue! An Zhengfeng angrily said, "Who can tell me what happened? Nothing has happened to him for so many years. I saw him getting closer and closer to Yun Zhiqiu, and he's already become her trusted aide. How did he get exposed all of a sudden? Someone give me an explanation! "
The three of them hung their heads in silence. If the people in the inn didn't say anything, then Miao Yi was probably the only one who knew the truth of the matter.
"You two!" An Zhengfeng suddenly pointed at Wu Zhen and Wu Ming. "I told you to protect him. How did you protect him?"
Wu Ming replied guiltily, "Everything happened too suddenly. We didn't even see him walk out. When we heard the commotion, we saw him. We realized that he had been sent flying with blood gushing out of his mouth. Before we could react, someone had already rescued him. After that, we saw a group of people from the inn chasing after him. Yun Zhiqiu was among them, so we couldn't get close to investigate. So … "
"So you don't know anything at all?" An Zhengfeng roared, his chest heaving in anger. He didn't know how he was going to explain this to the Celestial Sage later. He pointed at the white-robed man and said, "Immediately send our men out to search for him. If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse. At the very least, we need to know what happened! If I don't even know how he got exposed, how am I going to explain this to my superiors? Immediately! "
"Yes!" The white-robed man quickly obeyed the order and left.
An Zhengfeng paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. In the end, he stopped at the window and closed his eyes in silence.
After a while, Wu Zhen said weakly, "Uncle, we were in too much of a hurry at the time …"
An Zhengfeng raised his hand and sighed. "You don't have to say anything else! What happened inside the inn is not something you can do even if you were outside. It's not easy to keep an eye on someone for such a long time. Even if you don't do much, you still put in a lot of effort. It must have been hard on you all these years. Regardless of whether that guy is dead or alive, since he's been exposed, there's no need to protect him anymore. Your mission is also over. Go back. When you see your parents, send my regards to them. But again, do not tell anyone else about what happened here. "
"Understood!" The two of them cupped their fists and left …
Within the Celestial Nation's Fifth Earthly Branch's Traversing Water Palace, a streak of light landed in the forest. It was the disguised carpenter and Miao Yi.
"This place isn't too far from your place, so I'll escort you here. Don't let the Lady Boss down. Otherwise, we won't let you off the hook. Even if we can't take care of Feng Xuan, taking care of you won't be a problem. Take care of yourself. I'm going back to report! "
"Wait!" Miao Yi called out.
The carpenter turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Miao Yi took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Go back and tell the chef and the others to protect the Lady Boss. If anything happens to her, I will make you all pay in the future!"
"Oh!" The carpenter was amused. "It looks like you're finally willing to admit it now that you're back in your own territory?"
Miao Yi turned to look in the direction of Flowing Clouds Dune Sea and said with a dazed expression, "I promised her that one day, I would take her out of the inn with me without any worries. That's why I came back. I won't be able to fulfill that promise if I stay in the inn. As long as I, Miao Yi, am still alive, I will not let her down. This is my promise to her, and to the four of you as well. Right now, my abilities are limited, so I hope the four of you can help me protect her! When the day comes that I have the ability to take her away from here, I will definitely not mistreat the four of you! "
The carpenter was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "I understand. I will tell the three of them. I hope you will keep your promise."
"Leave this to the Lady Boss!" Miao Yi took out a spirit feather. It was a spirit feather that Qian'Er and Xue'Er usually used to communicate with those in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. Now that he was back, he could give it to the Lady Boss so that it would be easier for him to contact her.
The carpenter put it away and said, "I'm leaving!"
Miao Yi cupped his fists and sent him off. "Take care!"
The carpenter nodded, then immediately took to the skies.
After watching the black dot in the sky disappear without a trace, Miao Yi summoned a dragon steed and quickly rode it away. As for the two Blue-Feathered Swallows, they had already died of old age. To be more precise, they were killed by the chef right before they died of old age and were used to cook for the guests. Miao Yi was so angry at the time that he didn't touch the tavern's food for an entire month …
Arriving at the edge of the misty lake, Miao Yi put away his mount, then grabbed the Ice Soul he obtained from the Antarctic Ice Palace, which was also known as the Supreme Water Crystal, and dived into the lake. Wherever he went, the lake water automatically parted for him. Miao Yi invoked his arts underwater and quickly advanced forward.
He didn't dare to travel by land. He didn't want to announce his return to Raincloud Manor just yet. Otherwise, An Zhengfeng would definitely be suspicious if he returned so quickly. Miao Yi decided to delay his return for a while before revealing himself again.
Miao Yi stealthily swam through the lake until he was close to Yao Ruoxian's island. Only then did he put away the Ice Soul and quietly went ashore.
The trees on the island were old, their roots growing deeper and deeper, while the saplings had grown into mature trees. In the blink of an eye, Miao Yi had left this place for more than eighty years. Looking at his surroundings, Miao Yi couldn't help but sigh. He took out a jade archive and wrote down a few things. Then, he caught a spirit eagle, placed it on the eagle's leg, and released it. The spirit eagle then took to the skies and flew towards the nearby Manor Head's residence.
It wasn't convenient for him to show himself there right now. If he did, he would most likely be discovered by the island's defenses. Otherwise, he wouldn't have snuck into this unguarded island. The reason he released the spirit eagle was to inform Qian'Er and Xue'Er of his return.
"Who's sneaking around here?!"
Miao Yi turned around and saw Yao Ruoxian standing on top of the courtyard's walls, glaring at him with his mace artifact in hand.
"Old monster, I'm returning …" Miao Yi was speechless. When Yao Ruoxian saw him, he immediately put away his mace artifact, rolled his eyes, and jumped back into the courtyard. He wasn't even surprised at all.
Miao Yi thought he would be able to surprise him. After all, it had been so many years since they last met. He let out a bitter laugh. It seemed like the old man's attitude towards him hadn't changed at all.
Shaking his head helplessly, he walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He saw that the main hall's doors were tightly shut. Yao Ruoxian had obviously gone back to cultivating.
On the other hand, Miao Yi's eyes lit up when he saw the figure curled up under the eaves of the entrance, breathing like thunder. He quickly walked over, lifted his leg, and kicked Charcoal's butt twice. "Damn fatty, I'm back. Wake up!"
Just like Yao Ruoxian, he was still the same. Charcoal was obviously sleeping after eating something like a Core Formation pill. Miao Yi couldn't help but wonder if this bastard had been sleeping after eating a Core Formation pill since he left for so many years. Then, when he woke up, he would eat another Core Formation pill before going back to sleep.
The only thing that surprised Miao Yi was that when he kicked Charcoal's body, it felt like he had kicked a lump of iron. He wasn't prepared for it, and his toes hurt a little.
"Huh!" Miao Yi exclaimed in surprise. He crouched down and touched Charcoal's body. He patted it and sucked in a breath of cold air.
He then used his fist to knock on Charcoal's body a few more times. 'Wow!' When he knocked on Charcoal's muscles, it actually produced a 'dong dong' sound, as if he was knocking on a piece of iron. Charcoal's body was so hard that it was almost impossible. When he invoked his arts and pressed down, he could even find some elasticity.
