I'll have to trouble Hall Master Miao to make this trip. "Tao Qingli bowed slightly in thanks, then asked," May I know how many people Hall Master Miao is bringing? "
"I shouldn't bring too many people either. It would be bad if the Sun Traversing Palace was alerted. Just find someone to escort me there." Miao Yi looked at Zhao Fei and asked, "Brother Zhao, are you willing to accompany me?"
Without hesitation, Zhao Fei stood beside Miao Yi and cupped his fists towards Tao Qingli. "I'm willing!"
Tao Qingli looked at the two of them in a daze. The two of them dared to head to Traversing Wood Palace at a time like this to negotiate with Traversing Wood Palace's Palace Lord Cheng Aofang. She didn't even see the slightest hint of hesitation or unease on their faces. Just based on their calm demeanor alone, it would be difficult to find another subordinate like them. Not to mention, they had decisively decided to attack Sun Traversing Palace first.
Her other subordinates probably wouldn't even dare to think this way. Now, she was starting to doubt whether her grandmother was right. She had sacrificed so much for the Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun, so she felt that it was only natural for her to have a place in the Celestial Nation. She even wanted to pass down Traversing Water Palace from generation to generation. Was this really appropriate? Was it really realistic?
Zhao Fei cupped his fists and asked for permission, but Tao Qingli didn't respond. She was still daydreaming. Sikong Wuwei coughed and reminded her, "Qingli!"
"Oh!" Tao Qingli snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded.
Miao Yi frowned, not knowing why she was daydreaming. He cupped his fists again and said, "Palace Lord, I don't know much about Traversing Wood Palace. Please tell me everything you know. The more I know, the better I can be prepared."
This wasn't a problem at all. Tao Qingli gestured for them to take a seat. Once they were seated, she asked, "Where should I start?"
Miao Yi said, "Let's start with Palace Lord Cheng Aofang."
Tao Qingli pondered for a moment. "Cheng Aofang is the same as Palace Lord Shi Xiaotian. She's a Purple Lotus Seventh Grade cultivator, and she followed the Overlord Yue Tianbo all the way up. You can say that she's the Overlord's trusted aide. She had four husbands in her life. The first three died in battle. The current husband is called Young Master Guan. He's the Hall Master of Wood Traversing Palace's Suppressing First Hall … "
Upon hearing this, Sikong Wuwei's expression twitched. Glancing sideways, he discovered that Miao Yi and Zhao Fei were looking at him in unison. His expression darkened as he said, "What are you looking at me for?"
Miao Yi didn't give him any face at all. "Both of you are in the same situation. Both of you are Palace Lords and Hall Masters. What I mean. Do you believe that I'll bring you along as well? When I see Young Master Guan, I'll introduce you to each other. "
"You …" Sikong Wuwei resisted the urge and turned to the side. He was afraid that this lunatic would really do such a thing. If that happened, things would get awkward.
Yi turned to look on Yao Tian Mi Yi Yi to Miao. Mito Yi to Mito, Miao Yi to, Hao Mi.
Zhao Fei lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything.
"Yao Tao" Tao to "to" Yi to Zhao Guan Yi to Li to Zhao to say to'T to to say say say to to to Tao Miao Yi. To Zhao Tao. The only difference was that she and Sikong Wuwei hadn't gone public yet …
Once they were done with business, Miao Yi and Zhao Fei bid farewell. When Tao Qingli saw them to the door, she asked, "Everyone is in a state of panic right now. Shouldn't we do something about it?"
Miao Yi waved his hand. "It's too late now. Old problems can't be fixed in a short time. Once we're done with the negotiations, we'll show them the truth. We'll show them what it means to be our last hope. They'll naturally fight for it. It'll be much more effective that way."
'I don't have the experience of fighting.' Tao Qingli pondered for a moment. That seemed to be the case. She cupped her fists and said, "Then I'll leave it to the two of you!"
The two cupped their fists and bid farewell. Zhao Fei then pulled Miao Yi away …
On the isolated island of Raincloud Manor. Yao Ruoxian wandered around the courtyard on the island. Charcoal, who had already woken up, followed closely behind him. Every now and then, he would sneeze and nudge Yao Ruoxian with his nose.
"Fat thief, there's really nothing left. If there's nothing left to eat, then there's nothing left to eat. There's no point in you following me around!" Yao Ruoxian said helplessly. He leaped onto a fake hill and looked down at Charcoal, who was crouching down below. 'It's not that I don't want you to eat. It's that brat who won't let you eat anymore.'
Suddenly, Charcoal seemed to sense something and abruptly turned his head to look at the sky.
Crouching on top of the fake hill, Yao Ruoxian looked up and saw a figure streaking through the sky and landing in the direction of Raincloud Manor's official residence.
"Harrumph …" Charcoal let out a loud neigh. He easily leaped out of the courtyard and galloped away.
"You really are an ingrate. I've raised you for so many years, and yet that brat just ran off as soon as he came back. He didn't even bother to tell me …" Yao Ruoxian muttered to himself as he crouched down.
Miao Yi didn't rush to Wood Traversing Palace. Instead, he had Zhao Fei send him back to Raincloud Manor.
As soon as he landed, Qian'Er and Xue'Er rushed over to greet him. Miao Yi asked, "Have all the Mountain Chieftains arrived?"
"They're here!" Qian'Er replied.
"Summon them to the conference hall, along with the Head Steward!"
"Understood!" Qian'Er acknowledged the order and left.
The sound of galloping could be heard from outside. Charcoal quickly rushed in through the moon gate and greeted Miao Yi with a sneeze.
Miao Yi smiled and patted Charcoal's head.
Beside him, Zhao Fei wasn't surprised at all. He already knew that Miao Yi's steed didn't follow the rules and often went to places where people lived. However, he smiled when he saw Charcoal. There were only a handful of dragon steeds who could survive the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, and he had fought alongside Charcoal before.
Soon, the various leaders of Raincloud Manor were all gathered in the conference hall. Qian'Er and Xue'Er helped Miao Yi straighten his clothes, then followed him into the hall.
Miao Yi climbed onto the throne and took a seat. He swept his gaze across the crowd below him, with the two ladies standing beside him.
It had been so many years since they last saw their Manor Head again. Especially at this critical moment, everyone seemed to have found their pillar of support. Heaving a sigh of relief, they cupped their fists and said, "Greetings, Manor Head!"
"At ease!" Miao Yi raised his hand.
Xue'Er said, "Suppressing Second Hall Master, please announce the Palace Lord's decree!"
Zhao Fei walked out from the back of the hall and walked up to the throne. Miao Yi stood up to face him. Zhao Fei held the jade archive in one hand and declared, "By the Palace Lord's decree, Manor Head Miao Yi of Raincloud Manor is now the Hall Master of Suppressing First Hall!"
"Miao Yi thanks the Palace Lord for his grace!" Miao Yi accepted the jade archive.
Everyone below was stunned. 'He's been promoted to Hall Master? He's being promoted to Hall Master at this time? '
Not a single one of them was happy for Miao Yi. Instead, they all looked at each other with worried looks on their faces as they secretly transmitted their voices to each other.
Zhao Fei went through the motions, then walked down the stairs and returned to the back of the hall. Miao Yi sat back down and said, "Raincloud Manor, heed my command!"
"Yes!" Everyone cupped their fists in unison.
"Someone from Suppressing Tenth Hall will be arriving soon to take over. Everyone, return to the headquarters immediately and gather everyone under your command. Leave no one behind and head straight to Suppressing First Hall to await my orders. No delays!" Miao Yi ordered.
"Understood!" Everyone present had lived through many years of hard work, so they were still able to carry out Miao Yi's orders with absolute obedience. However, they couldn't help but wonder, 'Leave no one behind? He's basically moving all of Raincloud Manor's forces away! '
Some of the people below wanted to say something, but Miao Yi had already stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Disperse. Carry out your orders immediately. If you have anything else to say, we can talk when we reach Suppressing First Hall. Yan Xiu, come with me! "As he said this, he turned around and left with the two ladies.
As soon as they arrived at the Manor, Miao Yi gave some instructions to Qian 'Er, Xue' Er, and Yan Xiu, before storing Charcoal into his beast sack. He then turned around and quickly followed Zhao Fei into the sky. He was incredibly busy …
Traversing Water Palace. After receiving the decree, Suppressing Tenth Hall's Hall Master Shen Huaixin went to look for Palace Lord Tao Qingli, hoping that she could keep Raincloud Manor's forces. He was willing to allocate more forces for Miao Yi to take with him.
However, he had no other choice. The only force in Suppressing Tenth Hall that could fight was Raincloud Manor's.
In the past, Miao Yi didn't think much of Raincloud Manor's forces, and couldn't be bothered with them killing each other. However, from the looks of it now, it was Miao Yi's foresight. Raincloud Manor's forces had become the elites of Suppressing Tenth Hall's elites. They would be of great use in a critical moment, so he was unwilling to let them go.
Originally, he had three elite forces under his command, and Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei had helped him train two of them. However, after the two of them were promoted to Hall Masters, they took away some of their core members. Under the influence of the new Manor Head, the elites they left behind were quickly corrupted by the new Manor Head. It was hard for them to learn new things, but they learned bad things very quickly. In the blink of an eye, they had reverted back to how they used to be.
Now that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, Shen Huaixin had quickly reorganized the forces Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei had left behind, ordering them to pick up what they had learned in the past. However, this was a little too hasty.
More importantly, Miao Yi wasn't even leaving a single person for him. He was taking them all away in one go. 'It's one thing if you take away some of your core members, but how could you take them away like this?'
Tao Qingli gritted her teeth in anger. 'Now you know how to be anxious? Why didn't you do it before?'
However, she couldn't bring herself to say it out loud. She was one of the main culprits!
However, even if she couldn't bring herself to say it out loud, she wouldn't alter the decree. Miao Yi was risking his life for her right now, and this matter concerned the survival of the entire Traversing Water Palace. Naturally, she would reprimand Shen Huaixin …
Traversing Wood Palace. As its name suggested, the mountain range was filled with trees so thick that even a few people wouldn't be able to wrap their arms around them. It was an ancient, primeval forest.
Zhao Fei descended from the sky with Miao Yi in tow. He didn't dare to trespass into the majestic palace situated in the middle of the mountain range, so he landed right outside the mountain gates.
"Who are you?" The cultivator guarding the mountain gates appeared in time to stop them.
Zhao Fei cupped his fists and said, "Please inform them that Huo Lingxiao, the Hall Master of Suppressing Second Hall under the Traversing Moon Palace, is here to pay his respects to Palace Lord Cheng."
'Traversing Moon Palace's Suppressing Second Hall Master?' The cultivator looked him up and down, then cupped his fists and said, "Please wait a moment!"
In the main hall of the Traversing Wood Palace's harem, a woman dressed in an emerald green dress stood there. She was neither fat nor skinny, and her features were quite attractive. Her skin was fair, and she carried herself elegantly. She looked to be in her forties, and she was none other than the Traversing Wood Palace Lord, Cheng Aofang. She was currently seated at the head of the table, discussing some matters with the two Advisors seated beside her.
They were discussing the negotiations with the Sun Palace. The other Advisor had brought two Deacons with him to the Sun Palace to handle the negotiations. They had just received the latest news from the Sun Palace, and were currently in the middle of a discussion.
