Qian 'Er, who was on the observation deck, walked up to him and said, "My lord, Xue' Er and I have personally picked 50 palace maids. Are you satisfied with them?"
Miao Yi turned around in shock. "So many?"
Qian 'Er smiled and said, "You're the master of two halls, so it's not much. It's within the rules."
The corner of Miao Yi's lips curled into a playful smile as he said with interest, "Let's go! Take me there. "
He wanted to see what kind of palace maids these two women would pick for him after they chased away the beauties who came to pay tribute. Would they pick the kind of maids that men would find hard to swallow?
In the Splendid Garden of the Imperial Harem, fifty young girls dressed in white palace dresses lined up in two neat rows, facing each other on both sides of the road.
Xue 'er was like a proud swan, exuding an aura of nobility. She glanced left and right as she walked between two rows of palace maids, lecturing them. The fifty palace maids were extremely nervous and submissive.
When she saw Qian'Er by Miao Yi's side, Xue'Er hurriedly stepped forward and greeted, "Milord!"
Miao Yi swept his gaze across the ladies and smiled, "So these are the palace maids that the two of you chose?"
"Yes! Sir, please see if you are satisfied. " Xue 'er extended her hand in a welcoming gesture, then turned to the other women and shouted, "This is the Hall Master, why aren't you paying your respects?"
The fifty palace maids immediately bowed in unison. "These maids greet milord."
Their voices were like a flock of birds and swallows. Just listening to them made one's bones go soft. Miao Yi smiled and said, "Dispense with the formalities. Stand properly and raise your heads. Let me have a look."
The fifty young ladies immediately stood in an orderly manner and slowly raised their heads. Accompanied by Qian'Er and Xue'Er, Miao'Yi slowly paced between the two rows of young ladies, examining them one by one.
At a glance, one could tell that they were all fifteen or sixteen year old girls. They were all young girls who had just begun to blossom. Each and every one of them was as beautiful as carved jade. Each and every one of them had extraordinary looks and were pleasing to the eye. However, each and every one of them seemed very nervous. Some of them were already sweating nervously.
He walked around and took a look. Miao Yi looked at the two girls, a little surprised. To put it bluntly, some of these girls were even prettier than Qian'Er and Xue'Er. Had these two changed?
Qian 'Er asked, "Is Milord satisfied? They were all chosen from your vassal cities. If he wasn't satisfied, he could ask his subordinates to choose between the two palaces. It's just that the newly selected ones haven't been trained, so I'm afraid they won't know how to serve people. I might need to spend more time teaching them, unlike those who have already learned how to serve people. "
"I'm satisfied. There's no need to mobilize so many people." Miao Yi smiled bitterly. She then said to the group of young girls, "In this palace, the two Gu Gu are your masters. From now on, you will listen to the two Gu Gu's orders."
"Yes!" The group of people replied in unison.
Miao Yi quickly tossed this matter to the back of his mind. He had Xue'Er continue to lecture the girls, and he left with Qian'Er. As he walked, he asked, "The three major sects haven't sent anyone over yet?"
Qian'Er replied, "Not yet."
Miao Yi sneered, "With over a thousand men under my command, they sure can keep their composure. After the handover of the annual tribute, the grudge between us and the three major sects should come to an end."
Three days, Peng Yu said three days, and it was indeed three days. A neatly dressed old man with a Red Lotus Second Grade cultivation hurried over from the School of the Three Founders. His name was Ximen Yan, and he came bearing a letter from Peng Yu. He was the Advisor that the School of the Three Founders had assigned to him.
Miao Yi actually quite liked appointing new people. There were many things a newcomer didn't know about, and you were his sky. As long as you followed the rules, it would be easier for him to order you around. Ximen Yan had come at the right time. He had just taken over the two Halls, and there were many things for him to run errands for.
Ximen Yan was quite tireless in his work. He flew here and there all day, carrying out the Hall Master's orders without any hesitation.
The palace was also livelier than before. After all, there were many beautiful young girls now, each dressed in palace attire and carrying out their duties like fairies. Every time Miao Yi went out, he would unintentionally bump into one or two of them bowing to him. For a moment, he was a little uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Qian'Er and Xue'Er seemed to be in high spirits. They finally had subordinates of their own. The two of them each commanded twenty-five young girls. Since Miao Yi didn't interfere in this matter, outsiders had no right to interfere either. These fifty young girls were completely under the command of the two of them.
On the observation deck, Miao Yi stood with his hands behind his back. Behind him, Ximen Yan was reporting the news he had gathered from Traversing Water Palace.
However, Miao Yi seemed to be a little distracted. He was watching Xue'Er leading a group of young girls as they surrounded Charcoal, chattering away. The girls' eyes were all sparkling as they took turns trying to touch Charcoal. After that, he saw Xue'Er mounting Charcoal and galloping around the plaza. Her speed caused the young girls to gasp in surprise.
Jumping off Charcoal's back, Xue'Er was surrounded by a group of young girls, like the moon surrounded by stars. She seemed to be quite pleased with herself.
Miao Yi was a little speechless. Normally, other people wouldn't let their dragon steeds be ridden by others without the owner's permission. Charcoal, on the other hand, would let whoever was on good terms with him ride it. Miao Yi could ride it, Qian'Er could ride it, Xue'Er could ride it, and even Yao Ruoxian could ride it. They had no concept of chastity at all.
Miao Yi's gaze fell on Charcoal, and he sighed in his heart. Now that his cultivation had reached the Red Lotus realm, he no longer had any use for Charcoal. Yao Ruoxian's idea of transforming into a dragon seemed a little too far away. He didn't know how many Yao Cores he would have to use before he could see Charcoal transform. He could only continue to feed Charcoal with Core Formation under certain circumstances.
Glancing over, Miao Yi saw Qian'Er leading a group of young girls over from the Flower Valley. The weather in the Flower Valley was warm, and there were fresh flowers that never wilted throughout the four seasons. Everyone was carrying a large bouquet of fresh flowers, and the sight of the flowers reflected off their faces.
Retracting his thoughts, Miao Yi calmly said, "Ximen Yan, you don't have to beat around the bush. Just pick the nicer ones and tell me the nasty ones as well."
Ximen Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Hall Master, some of them are indeed nasty. I'm afraid you won't be happy if I tell you."
Miao Yi said, "I can imagine what they will say. I'm just confirming it. Also, you have to be clear about one thing. No Hall Master would keep a dishonest Advisor by their side. "
Since Miao Yi had put it that way, Ximen Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell him the truth. "The cultivators of Traversing Water Palace are very unhappy with Hall Master. They all say that Hall Master has betrayed Traversing Water Palace …"
Indeed, there was nothing nice to say. When news of Miao Yi leaving Traversing Water Palace to take charge of two Halls in Traversing Wood Palace got out, it caused a huge uproar. Everyone's profits had been halved, yet Miao Yi was the one who had profited from his misfortune. This didn't make sense at all. It was just as Zhao Fei had said. There were some things that many people knew about, and the truth would eventually come out. Naturally, Traversing Water Palace would try their best to find out what was going on.
In the end, when news of Miao Yi leading the negotiations for the alliance between the two Palaces came out, the cultivators of Traversing Water Palace were furious. No wonder everyone was so unlucky, and Miao Yi was the only one who had profited from his misfortune. It turned out that he had betrayed the entire Traversing Water Palace for his own personal benefit.
Now, Miao Yi had become a despicable and shameless person in the eyes of the Traversing Water Palace cultivators. It was as if everyone was cursing Miao Yi whenever they saw him. They no longer addressed him as Miao Yi, but as' Scumbag Miao '!
Miao Yi had already guessed that this might be the case. It was unlikely that Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei would tell him about this troublesome matter. That was why he had Ximen Yan confirm it himself.
After hearing everything, Miao Yi calmly asked, "Have the higher-ups of Traversing Water Palace come out to refute the rumors?"
Ximen Yan nodded and said, "Yes. Palace Lord Tao Qingli has personally come out and said that the alliance between the two Palaces was her idea. Both Hall Masters Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei have also come out to vouch for it, but to no avail. Everyone says that when you were in Raincloud Manor for many years, Traversing Water Palace didn't make a single move against the pressure from Traversing Sun Palace and Wood Palace. However, as soon as you were promoted to Suppressing First Hall Master, this matter of an alliance immediately popped up. Furthermore, you were the one who personally negotiated with Traversing Wood Palace. No one believes that this was Tao Qingli's idea. Some even say that both Hall Masters Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei are in cahoots with you, and that their words can't be trusted. "
Miao Yi sneered and said, "That's how the human heart is. If I had given them a huge boon, I'm afraid they wouldn't have put in a good word for me every single day. But now that I've taken away their benefits, they're constantly nagging me about it. It looks like saving their lives is now my fault. Ximen Yan, do you believe their words? "
Ximen Yan said, "Of course I don't. You don't have to worry about it, Hall Master."
"Do I have to worry about it? They only have the guts to complain about it. " Miao Yi turned around and raised his brows. "Do you believe that if I were to appear in front of them right now, they would still greet me with a smile? This is the nature of the human heart. They are harsh to themselves, and harsh to others as well! "
Ximen Yan thought to herself, 'If you really don't care, why did you send me to ask around? It means that you still care a little.'
Naturally, she wouldn't say such things out loud. She nodded and said, "I'm just worried that the public's mouths will distort the truth, and the rumors will affect Milord's reputation."
"Since it's just a rumor, do you think I can stop it? Not unless I kill every single heartless person in this world! Unfortunately, there are so many heartless people in this world! Those who believe in me don't need to explain, and those who don't believe in me won't change anything no matter how many words I say! Traitor Miao? " Miao Yi scoffed, then turned around and walked down the observation deck. "Whether they're traitors or good people, what can they do to me?"
Ximen Yan could sense the hidden rage in his heart …
The great battle between the three Palaces involved hundreds of thousands of troops. It was not something that would happen often in the cultivation realm. Once it happened, it would definitely be known throughout the world. The name of 'Traitor Miao', who had reversed the outcome of the battle, would also be known throughout the world!
At first, Miao Yi had thought that the three fake names Niu Er, Niu Youde, and Yan Beihong were more resounding than his real name. In the end, his real name became infamous, instantly overshadowing those three fake names. It could be said that everyone would talk about it whenever they met.
There were also many who praised him, saying that he was the model example of someone who would use any means necessary to advance. Those who wished to ascend should learn from his example, and succeed in the end was the way of the king!
"Traitor Miao …" In the pavilion at the peak of South Edict Manor, after listening to Qing Mei's report, Yang Qing, who was leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, suddenly let out a long sigh. "How fast! The scene of our first meeting in Transient Light Cave is still vivid in my mind. In the blink of an eye, he has already become the Hall Master of two Palaces, as well as the Palace Lord's Vanguard … I once criticized him for being too impetuous and taking risks, saying that his future would definitely be filled with thorns, and that it would be difficult for him to last for long. I thought that I was the true hero who could devise strategies, but now, who is the true hero? "
