After they were done discussing business, Yao Ruoxian casually asked, "It's been so many years since we last met. How's your cultivation?"
Miao Yi smiled. He didn't hide it from Yao Ruoxian, and the Blue Lotus Ninth Grade appeared on his forehead.
He had been wearing a mask most of the time these past few years, and with his current cultivation, there was nothing wrong with being the Manor Head. However, he hadn't used the Soul Concealing Paste for a while.
"Blue Lotus Ninth Grade …" Yao Ruoxian's lips twitched, as though he couldn't believe it. 'This cultivation speed …'
Qian'Er and Xue'Er looked at each other in surprise, then bowed and said, "Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations, my lord! "
Miao Yi smiled and cupped his fists at Yao Ruoxian, then turned around and left with the two ladies.
After watching Miao Yi and the others leave, Yao Ruoxian sighed softly. He could feel that even though Miao Yi was still polite to him, the way he treated him was very different now. He could no longer feel the awe and respect from Miao Yi. He was calm and composed when facing a Red Lotus cultivator like him. If there was anything, it was only respect. In other words, Miao Yi wasn't afraid of him at all.
This feeling was especially obvious after his return this time. Who knew what that guy had been through all these years! Yao Ruoxian said helplessly, "You two girls! That kid is growing too fast. In a few more years, I'm afraid he won't even have the right to stand up for you two … "
After leaving the main hall, the two ladies led Miao Yi to the backyard. Yao Ruoxian didn't stay in the backyard at all. He would either be refining artifacts in the underground cavern, or cultivating in the main hall, keeping watch over Mantis and Charcoal. This made things easier for Miao Yi. For now, he couldn't show himself in public in Raincloud Manor.
One of the ladies cleaned the room, while the other boiled water. The conditions here couldn't compare to the natural hot spring back at Mount Calming Sea.
Miao Yi stood in the yard and wrote down a few jade archives. One was for the Lady Boss, informing her that he had arrived safely. One was for Yan Beihong, and the other was for Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei.
"Qian'Er!" He called after he was done.
Qian'Er, who was cleaning the room, heard the commotion and came out. Miao Yi handed her a set of documents and instructed, "Send this to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, and this to Yan Beihong. Zhao Fei, Sikong Wuwei, send it out now. "
"Yes, milord!" Qian'Er quickly took the jade archive and left.
"My lord! Please have some tea! "Snow carried a tray and placed it in a nearby pavilion. At the same time, she swept the stool for him.
Miao Yi walked into the pavilion and sat down. Xue Er poured him a cup of tea and presented it to him with both hands. Miao Yi took the cup and sniffed it. Suddenly, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Cher didn't know what he was laughing about. What's wrong? This tea is a top-notch fragrant tea from Raincloud City. Is it because I didn't brew it well enough? "
She was somewhat apprehensive. After the adults had left, she had not properly served anyone for many years. She was worried that she was a little rusty.
After Miao Yi left, the two of them had to deal with some official business in Raincloud Manor, so they asked for two handmaidens to take care of their duties. Now that they knew that Miao Yi had returned, they had already discussed it with her sister and were prepared to send the two handmaidens away as soon as possible. It wasn't that they were afraid that Miao Yi would see them ordering their servants around. Rather, they didn't want to see other women in Miao Yi's residence when he returned. There were some things that couldn't be explained clearly. What if one of the handmaidens decided to fool around with Miao Yi? As such, it was better for the two of them to do the menial chores themselves. They were more than willing to help out.
Little did they know that Miao Yi was laughing about the exact opposite. He had been serving the Lady Boss all this time in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. Now that he was back, he was a little unused to it. He realized that it was much more comfortable to be back in his own territory!
"It's fine. The tea is very fragrant. You can go back to your work!" Miao Yi smiled and waved her off.
Once the two ladies were done with their preparations, the master and the two handmaidens entered the bathroom. There was a pool carved out of a large rock, and it was already filled with steaming hot water.
After the two ladies helped Miao Yi undress himself, they shyly undid their own sashes as well. She stepped into the pool and waited on his side. It had been a long time since she had been so open with a man, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
The two ladies' snow-white, alluring bodies that were growing more and more mature were indeed capable of making one's blood boil. Add to that the fact that they were skin to skin, and that they were targets for him to plunder as he pleased, how could Miao Yi, who hadn't experienced love for many years, hold himself back? He casually pulled off Qian'Er's chest wrap, and the snow-white breasts fell into his palm. Soon, they were entwined together, and he had thoroughly taken the two ladies in one go.
This scene was like rippling water. The one who did it willfully let loose, and the one who received it couldn't take it anymore. It was an incredibly alluring scene …
By the time the three of them came out of the bathroom, the sky had already darkened. The two ladies looked even more radiant than flowers. As expected, women still needed to be nourished by rain and dew. The way they looked at the Great Manor Head Miao was a little watery and clingy. Miao Yi was also feeling refreshed!
The two ladies bid farewell to Miao Yi and left.
They had no choice. It wasn't convenient for Miao Yi to show his face right now, and the two of them still had to return to guard the fort. They wouldn't be able to spend this long night together after such a long separation.
Not long after, Yan Xiu rushed over after receiving the news. When he saw Miao Yi in the pavilion in the backyard, he happily bowed and said, "Yan Xiu pays his respects to Milord!"
"No need to be so polite!" Miao Yi looked him up and down, and noticed that Yan Xiu's hair had already turned completely white. He had aged a lot.
Yan Xiu's cultivation progress was simply too slow. He had enough Orbs of Will, but his refining speed wasn't fast enough. Even now, he was still at White Lotus Ninth Grade. Even Qian'Er and Xue'Er had surpassed him.
Miao Yi took out a jade archive and handed it to Yan Xiu. "Yan Xiu, you should be able to use this."
Yan Xiu took it and looked at it, then muttered, "The Great Art of Time Immemorial!" He abruptly raised his head and asked, "Milord, this is?"
Miao Yi replied, "I got this for you. It used to be the cultivation art of Dao Sage Feng Beichen's number one general, Daoist Master of Time Immemorial. Later on, he fell to the Devil Sage when he fought against him. This cultivation art should be quite good. Take it and cultivate first. When the time comes, we'll see if it's suitable for women to cultivate. If it's faster than Qian'Er and Xue'Er's cultivation art, and it's suitable for women to cultivate, then let them cultivate it as well! "
The number one general under the Dao Sage, and he had even fought against the Devil Sage before. Was there even a need to mention this cultivation art? Yan Xiu was shocked. In fact, he was so excited that he was even trembling a little. Tears streamed down his face as he lifted the hem of his robes and knelt down on the spot. He held up the jade archive with both hands and sobbed, "Milord, you have given me a new lease on life. From now on, if you command me to do so, I will not hesitate to go through fire and water. I am willing to serve you with my life. If I break this oath, I will be punished by the heavens!"
Miao Yi sat up straight and accepted his bow. He then raised his hand and said, "Stand up and speak!"
When Yan Xiu stood up, Miao Yi continued, "I promised the person who gave me this cultivation art that this cultivation art must not be taught to outsiders. When you return, memorize this cultivation art and destroy this jade archive. Don't let it fall into someone else's hands. Otherwise, I will not forgive you!"
"I will remember your words!" Yan Xiu cupped his fists and sobbed.
He had no choice but to be grateful. What he cultivated was a cultivation method of a small sect, and it was only an incomplete one at that. The timely arrival of this rain had undoubtedly extended his life, and it had extended his life for a very, very long time.
Miao Yi asked Yan Xiu a few more questions about the situation in Raincloud Manor before finally dismissing him …
The next day, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei flew over together and landed in the Manor Head's residence. Soon, under Yan Xiu's guidance, they arrived at the isolated island and entered the garden through the backyard's side gate.
Inside the garden's pavilion, Miao Yi was leisurely sipping on a cup of tea while Xue 'Er played the zither beside him.
When Miao Yi and Sikong Wuwei arrived, Yan Xiu took his leave. Xue 'Er also quickly stopped playing the zither and stood up to greet the guest.
Seeing this, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei exchanged glances. Both of them smiled and shook their heads as they walked over. Sikong Wuwei even pointed at Miao Yi from afar and said, "Little Brother, you sure are enjoying yourself. We're in dire straits, and yet you're hiding here, sipping tea, admiring the scenery, and enjoying the company of a beautiful woman playing the zither."
Miao Yi didn't even bother to get up. He gestured for them to sit down and personally poured tea for them. Xue 'Er obediently stood behind him, while Qian' Er remained in the residence to keep watch.
"Didn't I already tell you in my letter? I came back secretly this time. I didn't even dare to show my face in front of my subordinates, so I had no choice but to hide on this isolated island." Miao Yi smiled as he pushed the teacups in front of them.
The two of them didn't seem to be in the mood to drink tea. Sikong Wuwei, who had just sat down, took out a jade archive and stood up again. He said to Miao Yi in a serious tone, "This is the decree of the Traversing Water Palace Lord!"
Zhao Fei also stood up and stood to the side as a sign of respect to the Palace Lord. Miao Yi, on the other hand, slowly sipped on his tea as he looked at Sikong Wuwei.
Sikong Wuwei was taken aback. He repeated, "Little Brother, this is the decree of the Palace Lord!"
Miao Yi asked in surprise, "Am I not listening? Why don't you just read it for me? "
Standing behind him, Xue 'Er couldn't help but feel nervous.' My lord! This is the decree of the Palace Lord! You're just a mere Manor Head. Shouldn't you at least show some respect? '
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei exchanged glances. Zhao Fei frowned and reminded, "Little Brother, this is the decree that Palace Lord Tao has given you."
"Isn't it just Tao Qingli's decree?" Miao Yi scoffed, "She can't even protect herself. The entire Traversing Water Palace's forces have been dragged down by those two. What are her intentions in giving me a decree at a time like this?" Then, he glared at the two of them and continued, "Also, didn't I tell the two of you that I snuck back here? How did she know I was back? Don't tell me that Tao Qingli can predict the future! "
The two of them were a little embarrassed by his words. Sikong Wuwei scratched his head and sighed, then sat back down. He then pushed the decree towards Miao Yi so that he could read it for himself.
Zhao Fei shook his head and sat down as well. Sikong Wuwei explained, "The two of us received your message at the same time. Because we were both in the palace at the time, and the Palace Lord was right beside us, we didn't hide it from her. The Palace Lord said that the old Palace Lord had promised to promote you to Hall Master upon his return. Coincidentally, the position of Suppressing First Hall was vacant, so this is a decree appointing you as the Hall Master of Suppressing First Hall! "
Miao Yi took the decree and gave it a look, then casually tossed it back to Sikong Wuwei. "I cannot accept this decree! Tell the Palace Master that regardless of my qualifications or cultivation, I am not qualified to take on this responsibility. Please choose someone else. "
'Defy the decree?' Hall Master Zhao and Hall Master Sikong were taken aback.
