Traversing Wood Palace Lord Cheng Aofang's two handmaidens were named 'Qing' and 'Yu'. Unlike the other handmaidens, their names were either two-character or three-character. Qing was' Elder Auntie ', while' Yu 'was' Little Auntie '.
When Miao Yi and Sikong Wuwei arrived at Traversing Water Palace, Tao Qingli was chatting with Aunt Qing in front of the vermilion railing.
This wasn't Miao Yi's first time seeing Qing. He stepped forward and bowed. "Your humble servant pays his respects to the Palace Lord. Greetings, Aunt Qing."
Tao Qingli had a complicated expression on her face. To be honest, she really wanted Miao Yi to stay, because she now understood how valuable a talent was. However, she also knew that she couldn't keep him around. Every time Traversing Water Palace needed help, Miao Yi would always use his injuries as an excuse to refuse to participate.
In fact, Miao Yi had been thinking a lot lately and had made preparations. If Cheng Aofang didn't invite him to join Traversing Water Palace, then he wouldn't stay there anymore. He was prepared to look for another path. However, because of Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei, he couldn't make a name for himself in Traversing Water Palace. To put it bluntly, it was a hindrance to his future.
"I have already given Qing the permission document. From today onwards, you are a member of Traversing Wood Palace." Tao Qingli forced a smile.
Miao Yi could only silently cup his fists in thanks. He didn't know what else to say.
Meanwhile, Aunt Qing took out a jade archive and announced, "By the decree of the Traversing Wood Palace Lord, Miao Yi is appointed as the Hall Master of Suppressing Ninth Hall and Suppressing Tenth Hall of the Traversing Wood Palace, as well as the Palace Lord's Advisor."
Miao Yi couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. He silently cursed Cheng Aofang for being so stingy. It would have been better if she had just moved one hall to the front.
Traversing Water Palace was different from Traversing Water Palace. The reason why Traversing Water Palace was called Traversing Water Palace was due to the abundance of water and lakes in its territory. If the mountains and lakes took up too much space, there wouldn't be a suitable place for believers to live. On the other hand, Traversing Wood Palace was definitely a good place for believers to live.
A woody land would naturally have a high quality water source, making it suitable for farming. There would also be plenty of firewood and other necessities. A large number of believers couldn't live without a water source. If they didn't have water, they wouldn't be able to survive. On the other hand, if the land was suitable for farming, it could ensure that the believers had enough food and clothing. Therefore, the territory of Wood Traversing Palace was able to satisfy almost all of the believers' daily needs.
With such excellent conditions, the number of followers in Traversing Wood Palace was almost five times that of Traversing Water Palace. In other words, the benefits of a Wood Traversing Palace was almost five times that of a Traversing Water Palace. Commanding a Wood Traversing Palace was equivalent to the income of five Traversing Water Palaces. Apparently, the Sun Traversing Palace wasn't that far off either.
The fact that Cheng Aofang was able to occupy such a place naturally had to do with her being Yue Tianbo's trusted aide. There was naturally a reason why Granny Tao had occupied such a bad spot. Back then, she didn't even have the right to be a Palace Lord. Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun was already giving her preferential treatment by giving her the position of Palace Lord. If she continued to be picky, it would incur the wrath of the public. Furthermore, she had protected her for so many years.
However, there were always good and bad areas within the Wood Traversing Palace. It was impossible for the conditions to be the same everywhere. Thus, unlike Traversing Water Palace, which was ranked from First Hall to Tenth Hall, where the difference between them wasn't that great, Traversing Wood Palace's First Hall was a truly top-notch place. The number of followers each hall had was enough to rival nine of the lowest standard halls. If there were another hall, this Suppressing First Hall would almost rival Traversing Water Palace.
Why did Cheng Aofang place her husband, Young Master Guan, in Suppressing First Hall as a Hall Master? Naturally, she would give the best positions to her own people.
And the Suppressing Tenth Hall that Miao Yi was about to take over was one of the lowest standard halls. Suppressing Ninth Hall was slightly better, being able to rival one and a half halls. If Suppressing Tenth Hall was a little higher up, then it would be able to rival two halls. However, Cheng Aofang just had to give him the two worst halls.
Even so, Miao Yi was satisfied. Back then, he was only a Blue Lotus cultivator. It was already an honor for her to let him take over two halls and even become a Advisor. He wouldn't be able to ask for anything more. At the very least, he would be treated much better than he was in Traversing Water Palace.
While he was grumbling inwardly, Miao Yi still maintained a courteous expression and said, "Understood!" He received the jade archive with both hands.
After Auntie Qing delivered the decree, she smiled and said, "Congratulations, Hall Master Miao! The Palace Lord has a message for me to pass on. She said that there is a huge lack of manpower in Traversing Sun Palace. She has already transferred half of the manpower from the two halls under your command over there. There are less than two months left until the handover of the annual tribute. She orders you to immediately head to your new post and find a place to settle down. Do not miss the handover, or you will be severely punished! "
Miao Yi respectfully said, "I will have to trouble Elder Auntie to report this to the Palace Lord. Just say that I will remember it! "
"Very well!" Auntie Qing turned to Tao Qingli and cupped her fists. "Palace Lord Tao, I still have matters to attend to. I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell!"
Tao Qingli extended her hand to send her off. She watched as she flew past the Vermilion Railing Cliff, then turned around to congratulate Miao Yi along with Sikong Wuwei.
After thanking her, Miao Yi cupped his fists and said, "Palace Lord, I have a presumptuous request. I would like to bring a few elders with me to Traversing Wood Palace to take up my post. I wonder if the Palace Lord would be so kind as to grant me such a request. "
Tao Qingli naturally wouldn't stop him. She smiled and nodded in agreement.
The atmosphere of separation was too heavy. Miao Yi jokingly changed the topic and said, "I heard from Zhao Fei that the Palace Lord and Sikong are preparing for their wedding. Please don't forget to inform me when the time comes. I will definitely come and have a drink at the wedding."
Sikong Wuwei laughed dryly. "I'm afraid it won't be convenient to hold the wedding for now. It's not like you don't know the current situation."
Miao Yi was taken aback, but he quickly understood. The people below were in a state of turmoil right now. If he were to hold a wedding now, while they might give him their blessings on the surface, there was no telling how much they would scold him behind his back. Indeed, it wasn't a good time to hold such a grand wedding.
After exchanging a few more words about the handover of territories, the couple watched as Miao Yi flew off into the sky.
Tao Qingli retracted her gaze and looked at Sikong Wuwei, who had been silent for a long time. She said, "Ever since the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade to Traversing Water Palace, the two of you have always been on the same side. I'm the one who dragged you into this."
Deep down, she knew that if she hadn't held him back, Miao Yi wouldn't have been the only one to leave.
Sikong Wuwei chuckled, then 'generously' wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He shook his head and said, "I, Sikong, am lucky to be able to sleep with the Palace Lord."
Tao Qingli bit her lip shyly and punched him on the shoulder. However, Sikong Wuwei sighed and said, "I'm lucky. I didn't lose anything. I just dragged Zhao Fei into this … I'll talk to Miao Yi some other day. If there's a suitable opportunity, I'll ask him to drag Zhao Fei away from here. When that time comes, don't stop him."
"I won't stop him. It's just that if they all leave, I really won't have anyone I can use for the time being."
"You're overthinking things! I, Sikong Wuwei, may be a brute, but I still understand some things. As long as you don't betray him, he won't betray you. But if you betray him, he won't hold back either. He's capable of anything. Zhao Fei isn't someone who easily trusts others. Once he does, he'll definitely treat them with sincerity. Even if the two of them leave, as long as something happens to me, they won't just sit by and watch. That's why we just have to hope that they'll continue to prosper. When that happens, I'll shamelessly look for them to take advantage of me. "
Tao Qingli suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Out of the three of you, two of them are better looking than you. Their abilities aren't inferior to yours either. Do you know why I chose you out of all the others?"
Sikong Wuwei had always been curious about this. He couldn't help but ask, "You're finally willing to tell me. Why?"
Tao Qingli smiled and said, "It's just like you said. Zhao Fei isn't someone who easily trusts others, and he makes others feel like they're keeping a distance. On the other hand, Miao Yi makes others feel like his heart isn't placed on women. Most of the time, the look in his eyes makes me feel like he's looking at women the same way he's looking at men. It's as though he doesn't know what love is between a man and a woman. I'm guessing it's very difficult for most women to find a place in his heart that a woman should have. But you, Sikong Wuwei, are different. You're easy to get close to. "
Sikong Wuwei narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you saying I'm easy to bully?"
"No. I'm being serious. It's just a woman's intuition."
"What intuition? You're clearly saying I'm easy to bully. So what if you're the Palace Lord? You'll be punished according to the Sikong Family's rules! "Sikong Wuwei immediately carried her away by the waist, causing a wave of exclamations …
After returning to Suppressing First Hall, Miao Yi looked for Yao Ruoxian and told him to move.
"Moving again?" With his hands behind his back, Yao Ruoxian scrutinized Miao Yi from head to toe. "Brat, can't you calm down a little? Where are you moving to this time? "
Beside him, Xue 'Er giggled and said, "Father! Milord has already received the decree of appointment from the Wood Traversing Palace. He'll be heading to the Wood Traversing Palace to take over the positions of Suppressing Ninth Hall and Suppressing Tenth Hall Master. As of now, Milord is the Advisor of both Hall Masters and the Palace Lord of the Wood Traversing Palace. "
Beside her, Qian 'Er was also full of smiles. Since Milord had been promoted again, the two of them would naturally follow suit. Of course, they were happy as well.
"Two Hall Masters and a Palace Lord …" Yao Ruoxian was flabbergasted. "Are you serious?"
"You'll know once you get there. You have no choice but to move. Someone else will take over from here. I can't just leave like that. I still have things to take care of. Old monster, you should make your preparations as well! "Miao Yi said, then left after notifying them.
Yao Ruoxian immediately looked at the two girls with a questioning gaze. The two girls quickly nodded, indicating that it was true. They weren't lying.
"This kid … got promoted again. He's climbing the ranks really fast …" Yao Ruoxian muttered, his gaze a little dazed. He remembered the first time he met Miao Yi back in the Sea of Constellations. He was just a White Lotus Third Grade Cave Master. It hadn't even been two hundred years, and now he was already a Hall Master of two Halls …
A few days later, Chen Fei and the others were summoned once more. Miao Yi simply asked them if they were willing to leave with him.
At this moment, Chen Fei and the others finally understood why the Hall Master had asked them to be patient for the time being and not get into any conflicts with their subordinates. It turned out that they were going to leave this place to be promoted. Naturally, there was no need to offend anyone.
It was rare for a normal person to be able to rise with their dogs and chickens. The ten of them couldn't help but be overjoyed. Naturally, they were willing to leave with Miao Yi without any hesitation.
What happened next wasn't a problem. The ten of them quickly went back to prepare for the handover.
After the handover was over, the ten of them brought their wives and galloped back to Wood Traversing Palace.
Meanwhile, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei personally saw them off. They helped Yan Xiu and escorted him all the way to Suppressing Tenth Hall.
Even though Suppressing Tenth Hall and Suppressing Ninth Hall's territories weren't the best in Wood Traversing Palace, they were the closest to it. He wondered if Cheng Aofang had considered the fact that Miao Yi was also a Palace Lord when she made the appointment.
