"The world is full of nonsense!" Yang Qing raised his hand to stop her. He turned around and said disapprovingly, "Qing Mei, you've been with me for so many years, how can you still believe the words of others?"
Qing Ju, who had her head slightly drooped, suddenly raised her head and said, "Milord, you mean to say that these are slanderous words of others?"
"I don't know if it's slander or not. I don't know what's going on over there, so I can't make a judgment. What they say doesn't matter to me. I've always taught you to look at the essence of things. If things are really as the rumors say, then Traversing Water Palace would have to face the pressure from Traversing Wood Palace and Traversing Sun Palace. This kind of betrayal might not necessarily be a bad thing for Traversing Water Palace's cultivators. Furthermore, the Traversing Wood Palace would know better than anyone whether or not the Traversing Water Palace had betrayed Miao Yi. If the Traversing Wood Palace Lord didn't mind Miao Yi's character, and even allowed him to hold the post of Advisor of two Halls, then what did it matter to outsiders? With the Traversing Wood Palace Lord's trust, what can outsiders do to him? "Yang Qing scoffed.
Qing Ju nodded slowly, but then she frowned and said, "However, it's indeed not good for this reputation to spread. Is there any way to save it?"
"The news has already spread. What else can we do? This was the price he had to pay for his carelessness. No one could blame him for it! Of course, it's not like he's completely out of options. If Miao Yi has the ability to silence everyone under the heavens, then even if he's wrong, he'll still be right. At the very least, no one will dare to spread rumors about him. As time passes, the rumors will naturally fade away, just like the Celestial Sage. Who in the Celestial Nation would dare to openly speak ill of the Celestial Sage in the past? "Yang Qing let out a long sigh.
Qing Mei seemed to be slightly unconvinced as she said, "It's just that his cultivation technique is better, and his cultivation increases faster. If these conditions were placed on Milord, you might not necessarily be inferior to him."
Yang Qing chuckled and said, "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to deceive yourself. To raise your cultivation so quickly, I'm afraid that just relying on a good cultivation technique is useless. Some of the big sects also have good cultivation techniques, but how many of them can stand out? It would be a lie if he didn't have the ability to get enough cultivation resources. When it comes to strategizing, I don't think I'll lose to him, but when it comes to the ability to take risks and make money. I'm not necessarily stronger than him. Did you forget that when this bastard was still the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave, he dared to go hunting in the Sea of Constellations when he only had a cultivation of a White Lotus, all for the sake of obtaining cultivation resources. I wouldn't do that even if I had ten thousand guts, because in my opinion, it was absolutely irrational behavior, and it had nothing to do with guts. Sometimes, I even wondered if I was too rational. Maybe what I lacked was that guy's adventurous spirit. However, this kind of thing can't be learned. Some things are determined by one's personality. Forcing oneself to imitate will only result in a nondescript outcome. "
Qing Mei said, "This is clearly a cultivation resource he obtained during the Subjugation Crusade."
"Could it be that the resources obtained from the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade weren't his own? If it were me, I'm afraid I might not be able to return alive. "Yang Qing glanced at Qing Mei, shook his head, and dismissed it with a smile.
"That guy climbs really fast!" Qing Ju couldn't help but sigh as well. She could still remember the shy and awkward look on Miao Yi's face when she first saw him bathing...
"Traitor Miao …"
Mount Shaotai. Dressed in snow-white robes, Qin Weiwei muttered as she walked along the stone steps of the mountain, listening to the story of the person behind her.
Yang Qing was still the Manor Head of South Edict Manor, and she, Qin Weiwei, was still the Mountain Chieftain of Mount Shaotai. Gongsun Yu, who was following behind her, was still a Cave Master.
It wasn't that they hadn't changed. Rather, the speed at which Miao Yi changed was simply too fast. It was so fast that even her old friend couldn't react in time.
"Mountain Chieftain, I've long said that Miao Yi's character is questionable. Now that I've seen it coming, it's confirmed my suspicions. He caused so many cultivators in Traversing Water Palace to suffer so much, and then climbed up by stepping on their corpses. Every step he took left behind a bloody footprint. Nothing could be more despicable and shameless than this! Fortunately, this person has already left South Edict Manor. Otherwise, he would've brought disaster upon us sooner or later. "Gongsun Yu, who was following behind her, said angrily.
Shameless was one thing, but it would be a lie to say that he wasn't a little jealous. Back in the day, they were both Cave Masters. Even so, they had once called each other brothers. Now, Gongsun Yu was still a Cave Master, while Miao Yi had become a Hall Master.
He was a Hall Master, and not just any other rank. Unlike Cave Master, Mountain Chieftain, and Manor Head, Hall Master was a position on a completely different level. He, Gongsun Yu, only had ten subordinates under him. Meanwhile, Miao Yi had over ten thousand subordinates under him. He, Gongsun Yu, only controlled a hundred thousand followers, while Miao Yi controlled hundreds of millions.
The two of them were on completely different levels. It could be said that they were as different as the heavens and the earth. In Miao Yi's eyes, a mere Cave Master wouldn't even spare him a glance, just like Hall Master Huo Lingxiao. Who the hell would know who this Cave Master Gongsun was? He, Gongsun Yu, didn't even know what Hall Master Huo Lingxiao looked like.
To the Cave Masters below him, a Hall Master was the kind of person who sat high above the clouds. They only had the right to look up to him.
If he was given the position of Hall Master, he would rather have his reputation spread far and wide. But then again, even if he ruined his reputation, it would only be in South Edict Manor. Who the hell would be interested in paying attention to a mere Cave Master like him? He also wanted to climb up by stepping on the corpses of tens of thousands of cultivators, but did he have the right to scam hundreds of thousands of cultivators? He hadn't even seen the Hall Master's face, let alone negotiated with the Palace Lord.
Gongsun Yu's judgment was that Miao Yi would truly make a fortune after participating in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. He was even considering whether he should take the initiative to participate in the next Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before being extinguished. Only a few from the entire Celestial Nation had returned alive!
Following beside Qin Weiwei, Hong Mian and Lu Liu glanced at the silent Qin Weiwei, who had a rather gloomy expression, and sighed inwardly.
Some things, if missed, might really be missed for the rest of their lives. Now, the distance between Miao Yi and the Mountain Chieftain was growing wider and wider. She didn't even have the right to see Miao Yi's face. With Miao Yi's current outlook, he could have any beauty he wanted. The people he came into contact with were people who could fly around in the sky. Why would he have any interest in a mere Mountain Chieftain who ran around on the ground?
Truth be told, Hong Mian and Lu Liu also felt rather aggrieved. If Qin Weiwei were to marry, the two of them would have to serve as her concubines sooner or later. However, not everyone was willing to serve as a concubine. If they had to serve that follower behind them, wouldn't they be bored to death...
Traversing Moon Palace's Suppressing Second Hall.
"Traitor Miao …" Huo Lingxiao muttered, his expression twitching.
'Motherf * cker! This Traitor Miao, who is despised by the entire cultivation realm, is my sworn brother. How could I be implicated like this, even from so far away? How can I endure this … '
Traversing Moon Palace's Suppressing Third Hall.
"Traitor Miao …" Wu Menglan was speechless as she muttered. She realized that her Little Brother, whom she hadn't seen for many years, had really made a name for himself.
Within a silent chamber in a certain hall in First Earthly Earthly Branch, Yan Beihong, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, scoffed in disdain after hearing Hong Xiu and Hong Fu recount the rumors circulating outside. "There's no need to doubt your Lord Miao's character. He could scam anyone but Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei. Not too long ago, I saw him risking his life to save those two with my own eyes. He almost lost his life in the process. If you ask me, he shouldn't have let those Traversing Water Palace Red Lotus cultivators escape. He should have clashed with those Traversing Sun Palace cultivators more. The more they die, the better. They're all showing their bad habits. When I get the chance, I'll settle the score with them and help your Lord Miao vent his anger. Either way, they're all tired of living. They all deserve to die! "
"Traitor Miao … Dual Hall Master and Advisor. You've broken through to the Red Lotus realm so quickly. Interesting, haha …"
Inside the ancient grand hall of the Western Constellations Palace in the Sea of Constellations, a burst of wild laughter suddenly rang out, causing the people outside to turn around in bewilderment.
Flowing Clouds Dune Sea's Chamber of Commerce.
"Traitor Miao …" An Zhengfeng was rendered speechless when he heard the news. This' Traitor Miao 'was also his subordinate. An Zhengfeng had an indescribable expression on his face as he muttered to himself, "The last time I saw him, he was just promoted to Hall Master of Traversing Water Palace's First Suppressing Hall. It's only been a few days, and he's already running off to Traversing Wood Palace for a promotion. He sure climbs fast!"
Tempest Tavern.
"That Traitor Miao is truly unscrupulous in order to climb up the ranks."
"I know, right? He even sold off the entire Traversing Water Palace."
"Over a hundred thousand cultivators fought to the death, and tens of thousands of them died. They thought that they would be able to preserve their glory and riches, but who would have thought that all their blood, sweat, and corpses would end up becoming someone else's. That Traitor Miao has become the Dual Hall Master, and is even the Advisor of Traversing Wood Palace Lord. His glory is limitless, but half of the profits of Traversing Water Palace's hundred thousand cultivators has become a stepping stone for him to climb up the ranks. Those people from Traversing Water Palace are truly wronged. "
"How ruthless! To think that he would dare to covet such riches and riches. Even if he isn't afraid of being cursed, isn't he afraid of the wrath of the heavens? "
"What wrath of the heavens? He's already ascended the ranks, and he's succeeded. What can the rest of us do to him? "
"That Traversing Wood Palace Lord is really something. How dare he use someone like that? If that Traitor Miao can do such a thing to Traversing Water Palace today, he'll definitely do the same to Traversing Wood Palace tomorrow. Doesn't he understand that?"
"How do you know that he doesn't understand? Who knows, maybe he already knows. Do you know that he's using her? If he doesn't use her, how can he successfully reap the benefits of Traversing Water Palace? Just wait and see. That Traversing Wood Palace Lord will kick him out sooner or later. He'll be in for it. "
Behind the counter, the Lady Boss frowned deeply as she listened. She could not hide the worry in her eyes, as well as a hint of disappointment.
The chef and the others who were also mingling in the main hall were also speechless. Recently, people in the tavern had been talking about this matter every day. It was hard for the Lady Boss not to hear about it.
The scholar leaning against the counter sighed and shook his head. He tilted his head and asked, "Lady Boss, that Traitor Miao sure is climbing up the ranks quickly. But why do you think that Traitor Miao is doing this? He's actually willing to suffer all the curses just to climb up the ranks? Is it for cultivation resources or for women? "
'For women?' The Lady Boss, who had a secret agreement with Miao Yi, was taken aback. Her dim eyes suddenly shone with a startling brilliance. Then, unwilling to listen to the gossip in the main hall any longer, she quietly left from behind the counter.
The scholar heaved a sigh of relief, as though a huge burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
