Invoking his arts, Miao Yi hurriedly flew through the air without a hint of joy on his face. As the wind and clouds swept past him, he didn't seem to feel any joy from breaking through to the Red Lotus realm at all.
Just as Zhao Fei had said, Miao Yi indeed didn't want to get involved in these matters anymore. If it weren't for Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei's sake, he wouldn't even bother getting involved for Tao Qingli's sake. 'You and your granddaughter have caused such a mess in Traversing Water Palace, and you expect everyone to follow you and risk their lives for you? Are you kidding me?
The two of you are selfish, but are you not going to allow others to be selfish? Back when he was still in Raincloud Manor, he already had a backup plan in mind. If things went south, he would immediately retreat with his men. There was no need for him to risk his life for the sake of Traversing Water Palace. This was also the reason why he rushed back from Flowing Clouds Dune Sea in such a hurry. He couldn't just leave his subordinates to die.
He wasn't like the rest of the useless trash in Traversing Water Palace who no one wanted. He had some connections of his own. If he couldn't stay in Traversing Water Palace any longer, he could bring some people to Traversing Moon Palace to look for Huo Lingxiao. If Huo Lingxiao refused to take him in, he could just look for Wu Menglan. He could easily become the Manor Head. There was no reason for him to risk his life for it.
Initially, he had wanted to persuade Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei to find another way out. After all, Sikong Wuwei had already intended to make use of them when he became sworn brothers with them. However, who knew that Sikong Wuwei and Tao Qingli would actually become husband and wife. He immediately knew that there was no point in trying to persuade them otherwise. He couldn't just watch as the two of them went to their deaths.
As for the position of Hall Master, who cared about it? He, Miao Yi, was not willing to be a Hall Master who had lost half of the benefits. How could he, Miao Yi, have the ambition to be a Hall Master who had lost half of the benefits? As long as his cultivation level rose, he would not have to worry about not being able to snatch the position of a Hall Master. Why should he be a Hall Master who would lose half of his benefits?
What frustrated him the most was the relationship between Zhao Fei, Sikong Wuwei, and Tao Qingli. In the future, it would be inconvenient for him to seize the territories of the other Halls, let alone target Tao Qingli's position in the future. If he really did that, he would definitely fall out with his friends.
When he arrived at the Suppressing First Hall, he pierced through the clouds and landed in the courtyard of his luxurious sleeping quarters.
Qian 'Er and Xue' Er were waiting anxiously in the pavilion. Their master's life was in danger, and this matter concerned their love and the rest of their lives. How could they possibly be in the mood to cultivate when such an important matter was taking place? Almost every day, he would look out from the pavilion, hoping that his master would return safely.
Now that they saw Miao Yi descending from the sky with a red lotus on his forehead, the two girls were pleasantly surprised and flew down. Lifting her skirt, she walked over quickly and bowed, "My Lord!"
Just as Miao Yi reached out his hand to support Yan Xiu, Yan Xiu had already dashed over. Yan Xiu excitedly bowed and said, "Congratulations, Milord. Congratulations on breaking through to the Red Lotus realm."
He was truly amazed in his heart. Back then, his cultivation was lower than hers, but now, it was unknown just how far ahead she was.
"It is indeed a joyous occasion!" Miao Yi calmly smiled, then released the lively Charcoal from his storage ring. As he watched Charcoal run around happily, he said, "When Chen Fei and the others return, have those Mountain Chieftains of Raincloud Manor come see me."
"Yes!" Yan Xiu replied. He then asked, "Milord, has the battle ended so quickly?"
"The outcome has been decided. The experts of the Sun Traversing Palace have all been eliminated. The rest is not something we need to worry about." Miao Yi saw that Miao Yi was in a good mood. He asked, "What about cultivation methods?"
At the mention of this, Yan Xiu couldn't help but feel grateful. "Even with just a glance, I can tell that they are far stronger than my original cultivation methods. Yan Xiu will never be able to repay your kindness, milord."
Miao Yi patted him on the shoulder. "Hurry up and improve your cultivation. If you don't have enough Orbs of Will, ask Qian'Er and Xue'Er for more. You are my steward, and I have no intention of worrying about these trivial matters. Just do your job well. That is the best way to repay me."
"Yes! Yan Xiu will remember this! "
"Go!" Miao Yi waved his hand, and Yan Xiu excused himself.
"Bath time!" Miao Yi turned around and said. The two girls immediately went to make preparations.
Naturally, the conditions of Suppressing First Hall were far superior to those of Raincloud Manor. Inside the spacious and brightly lit bathroom, the meticulously carved white jade bathtub looked incredibly luxurious. Inside the steaming bathtub. The two girls, who had been nourished by their wealthy circumstances, had their fair and graceful bodies completely covered. They accompanied Miao Yi, who had his eyes closed in silence, as they carefully scrubbed him.
Holding onto Miao Yi's arm, Qian'Er suddenly called out, "Milord!"
Miao Yi closed his eyes and replied, "Mm." Qian'Er continued, "Milord's current position is extraordinary, and the palace you live in occupies a vast area. The two of us can no longer take care of it all. Given your status, it is also permitted by the higher-ups to assign some palace maids to you. Xue'Er and I will personally pick out some beautiful palace maids for you one day. I wonder what kind of maids Milord would like? "
Lying on the jade slope, half-submerged in the water, Miao Yi opened his eyes in astonishment. He looked at one of them, then the other, and asked suspiciously, "How could the two of you be so kind? Not only did you not think of a way to send away the beauties offered as tributes, you even personally went to choose beautiful palace maids for me. Did I hear you right?"
What he was trying to say was, 'Don't think I don't know what you two have done. I'm just pretending not to know.'
Miao Yi's words made the two girls feel awkward. It seemed like Miao Yi knew everything, but he was just playing dumb. Xue'Er said weakly, "Big Sister and I are doing this out of goodwill. Milord, you've wronged us."
"You still dare to be so stubborn?!" Miao Yi reached out and pinched her chin, "Tell me honestly. What are your intentions? Are you trying to test me? I can tell you clearly that I'm not a reckless person. There's no need to test me. "
Qian'Er hugged his arm and smiled, "Milord, we're speaking from the bottom of our hearts. We really can't take care of such a large place with just the two of us. Just the daily cleaning is not an easy task. In the past, when the place was small, you could still ask the handmaidens under your command to come over and help out. But now that the place is so big, it's not good to have their handmaidens do this every day. If this goes on, Xue'Er and I really won't have the time to cultivate anymore."
As expected of someone who had been in charge of the household for so many years after Miao Yi had left. Not only could she speak beautifully, but her words were also quite reasonable. However, the truth was that they were truly on tenterhooks this time. In the past, they knew that Miao Yi would have to face unknown dangers when he went out. This time, however, they clearly knew that Miao Yi would have to risk his life against Red Lotus or even Purple Lotus cultivators when he went out as a Blue Lotus cultivator.
The two of them were extremely worried, but at the same time, they hated themselves for not being able to help Miao Yi. They were all Cave Masters, Mountain Chieftains, and Manor Heads, and no matter when, Miao Yi would never lack cultivation resources for them. How could the handmaidens of other people who received death pay receive such good treatment? They didn't even have enough for their masters, let alone the handmaidens by their side. In this regard, Miao Yi could be said to have done much better than the other handmaidens. He had never let the two of them worry about such matters. To put it bluntly, the other Hall Masters might not be as extravagant as these two handmaidens. However, Miao Yi's life was far less comfortable than the others. He would often go out alone and risk his life.
As for women, how many of those who were not as capable as Miao Yi would have fewer beauties by their side? Even Miao Yi's subordinates would swap out beauties in the harem from time to time. On the other hand, Miao Yi and Xue'Er had always been the only ones by his side.
Miao Yi's life wasn't even as good as his subordinates'. If one day, Miao Yi were to meet with danger … the two of them wondered if they had gone too far.
As such, the two of them had come to the same conclusion over the past few days. As long as Miao Yi could return safely, they wouldn't have to worry about such matters anymore. After all, the beauties they had chosen were aging fast and would be replaced after a few years. They wouldn't be a threat to their positions anyway. They just wanted to make Miao Yi happy.
Miao Yi asked curiously, "If that's the case, then you can choose whoever you want. Why do you have to ask me what kind of beauties I like?"
Qian'Er smiled and said, "This is your personal residence. If we choose a bunch of beauties that you don't like, wouldn't Miao Yi be annoyed when he sees them?"
Regardless of whether what the two of them said was true or not, what they said made sense. As his position grew higher, his personal residence also grew larger. He wouldn't be able to take care of everything if he didn't have a few assistants for the two ladies. Miao Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's not do that for now. We still can't be sure if we can stay here for long."
The two women exchanged confused glances with one another. Snow asked tentatively, "Does the Palace Lord think that Milord is not suitable to be the Hall Master?"
Both of them were muttering in their hearts. Could it be that their Master had made a mistake on this trip and was demoted to Manor Head once again? Sir had learned his lesson from the mistakes of his predecessors. Back then, he was demoted from Cave Master back to Steed Deputy.
Miao Yi calmly replied, "I might have to go to the Wood Traversing Palace to take up the position of Hall Master. However, I can't say for sure yet, so I can't be sure. Let's wait and see."
So that was how it was! The two women immediately felt relieved. However, as Cher looked around at the luxurious surroundings, she felt that this place was pretty good. She had just gotten used to it, so she was a little reluctant to part with it.
Qian 'Er smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then let's wait and see. When Milord's position is decided, Xue' Er and I will go pick the palace maids."
Miao Yi wasn't willing to waste his energy on this kind of thing, so he casually replied, "Do as you see fit. In any case, you two are still the rulers of this harem."
His words delighted the two of them. Snow said coquettishly, "Of course not. Milord will have a wife sooner or later. When that time comes, the true ruler of the harem will be the wife."
Speaking of this, Miao Yi was taken aback. He suddenly thought of that person in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea and became a little distracted.
Qian 'Er carefully observed his expression and asked, "Milord, do you already have a suitable candidate in mind for your future wife?"
"Let's not talk about this!" Miao Yi slowly closed his eyes. His mind was in a mess. He couldn't get in touch with the Lady Boss, so he couldn't help but feel the urge to head over to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea and find out what was going on …
After taking a bath, Miao Yi went to his silent quarters, his clothes fluttering in the wind. Feeling refreshed, he took out his Qilin Spear and examined it. As expected, the Supreme Fire Crystal inside had shrunk by a large margin. At this rate, he wouldn't be able to use it for long. After all, he had emptied the inside of the Qilin Head. It looked like he would have to use it sparingly.
Putting away the Qilin Spear, Miao Yi suddenly flipped his palm over, and a colorless flame appeared on his palm. It quickly disappeared into his palm, and Miao Yi then slapped the air.
Pah! A scorched palm print suddenly appeared on the stone wall.
As expected, he had already broken through the shackles of his inner art. He could now use it outside his body. Miao Yi's face lit up with joy. He grabbed a handful of Orbs of Will with both hands, then closed his eyes and concentrated on testing his current cultivation speed.
