Atop the lonely mountain, there was only one palace — Traversing Moon Palace.
Now that he was in the Traversing Moon Palace's territory, he naturally had to pay a visit to its master. Miao Yi and Zhang Tianxiao weren't exactly close, but he still came to greet her.
Inside the bedchamber, a charming woman was lying on her side on a bed, her head resting on a man's thigh. She was breathing in wisps of smoke from the incense burner, and her expression was one of intoxication. Four handsome men were waiting on her side, either massaging her shoulders or legs as if they were serving an empress.
A palace maid came to report that a guest had come to visit.
"Miao Yi?" Zhang Tianxiao opened her eyes and was momentarily stunned. She then lazily waved her sleeves and said, "Bring him in."
Not long after, Miao Yi followed the palace maids into the room. When he saw Zhang Tianxiao lying on the bed with her jade-like legs and half-exposed breasts, he immediately chuckled and cupped his fists, saying, "Little Brother greets Sister-in-law." He then shot a glance at the four handsome men.
To be honest, Miao Yi couldn't agree with Zhang Tianxiao's revealing attire. Even though the woman from Tempest Tavern was also wearing revealing attire, at least she covered the places that needed to be covered. Zhang Tianxiao, on the other hand, was a little unscrupulous and offensive. What Miao Yi couldn't stand the most was that these men were groping her all over. What was going on? He was starting to wonder if Huo Lingxiao was the same kind of person as these men.
Sister-in-law? Zhang Tianxiao's languid eyes were startled, and she was a little stunned. Then, she recalled the matter of this fellow becoming sworn brothers with Huo Lingxiao. She lazily got up and waved her hand to dismiss the four pampered men. She dragged her light yellow dress, and her two snow-white legs were exposed under the high slit dress as she walked over.
She walked up to Miao Yi and looked him up and down, then walked around him while dragging her dress.
Miao Yi laughed dryly. "Why are you looking at me like that, Sister-in-law?"
Zhang Tianxiao didn't comment on the way he addressed her as' Sister-in-law '. She chuckled and said, "You killed the Hall Master of Traversing Celestial Palace at Spring Glory House. Do you think the Martial Manor will let you go so easily?"
Miao Yi sighed. "I've already been severely punished. I almost lost my life."
Zhang Tianxiao turned around and tossed her beautiful black hair that flowed like a waterfall. She walked barefooted to the side of the bed and sat down. She pointed to a stool at the side, indicating for him to sit, and asked, "What is your purpose in coming here to find me?"
Miao Yi stepped forward and sat down. Cupping his fists, he said, "In the past, my cultivation was limited, so it wasn't convenient for me to come and go. Now that Little Brother can fly around in the sky, I happen to pass by here. How could I not come to see Sister-in-law? "
"Are you really here to visit ben gong?" Zhang Tianxiao glanced at him with a smile. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush."
Miao Yi spread his hands and asked in surprise, "Is there anything else besides visiting Sister-in-law?"
"You know very well whether I'm fine or not."
"There's really nothing else. I'm here to visit sister-in-law. "
The two of them rambled on for a while, but Miao Yi really didn't mention anything. He even refused to stay for the night and took his leave.
Zhang Tianxiao flew up and landed on the roof of the palace, her dress fluttering in the wind. She looked at Miao Yi's departing figure with a blank expression. 'Did he really come all this way just to see me? Does this guy really think that I'm his sister-in-law? That's impossible! '
She vaguely remembered that Huo Lingxiao had sent Miao Yi to the Sea of Constellations. Even though Huo Lingxiao refused to admit it, she knew deep down that Miao Yi was no fool. How could he not know? She believed that Miao Yi could tell that her relationship with Huo Lingxiao had nothing to do with him calling her 'sister-in-law'...
'After looking for Sister-in-law, I'll go look for Big Brother!'
Once he arrived at Suppressing Second Hall, Miao Yi didn't bother with formalities. He immediately descended from the sky and landed in the courtyard of Huo Lingxiao's sleeping quarters, shouting, "Big Brother! I'm here! "
Tian Yu and Liu Xing came out in shock. When they saw that it was Miao Yi, they were surprised at first, but quickly bowed and said, "Your servant greets Lord Miao."
The current Great Hall Master Miao was no longer the same as before. Back then, Miao Yi used to behave himself when he saw these two handmaidens. Now, it was the other way around.
"Dispense with the formalities!" Miao Yi waved his hand. "Where's Big Brother Huo?"
The two girls exchanged glances, then replied, "Milord isn't here!"
"Isn't here?" Miao Yi looked at the two of them and asked, "Where did he go?"
The two girls replied, "He hasn't returned from the capital city's handover … Lord Miao, you …" Miao Yi had already barged in. The two girls immediately rushed to the front to stop him.
"I just want a cup of tea. Why are you two so nervous? Could it be that he had done something shameful? Get out of my way! " Miao Yi casually found an excuse and pushed the two of them away. He searched the entire house, and when he barged into the silent cultivation room, everything quietened down. He saw Huo Lingxiao sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed.
Miao Yi raised an eyebrow. He laughed coldly in his heart. Anyone who wasn't an idiot would know that Tian Yu and Liu Xing's intentions were Huo Lingxiao's. Huo Lingxiao was purposely avoiding him.
Meanwhile, Huo Lingxiao opened his eyes from his cross-legged meditation and barked, "What's with the ruckus … Eh? Little Brother, why are you here?" He lowered his legs and got off the bed, looking as if he had just realized what was going on.
Miao Yi thought, 'You're playing this game with me? Don't blame me for being rude then! '
He turned to look at Tian Yu and Liu Xing. The two girls were feeling extremely awkward. None of them expected this Lord Miao to barge in. Even with their cultivation, they couldn't stop him.
Slap slap! Miao Yi suddenly slapped Tian Yu and Liu Xing across the face. The two girls didn't even have time to react, and with Miao Yi's speed, they couldn't dodge in time.
And Miao Yi had indeed dealt a heavy blow. The two resounding slaps immediately caused the two girls to bleed from their noses and mouths. They fell to the ground and covered their faces, staring at Miao Yi in a daze.
Whoosh! Then, Miao Yi pulled out his sword artifact and stomped Tian Yu to the ground. He then raised his sword, ready to behead Tian Yu.
"Miao Yi!" Huo Lingxiao hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Miao Yi's sword-wielding arm, shouting angrily, "Don't go too far!"
However, Miao Yi pointed at Tian Yu, who was still beneath his feet, and said sternly, "Big Brother, you don't know this. These two sluts have ulterior motives. They actually lied about Big Brother not being around and almost tricked me. If such deceitful sluts stay by Big Brother's side, it'll only be a matter of time before he becomes a threat. For Big Brother's sake, I'll get rid of them as soon as possible.
He was going to kill them. Tian Yu and Liu Xing turned pale with fright.
Huo Lingxiao's expression twitched. She grabbed Miao Yi's arm and anxiously said, "Don't be rash, Little Brother. This has nothing to do with them. Before I went into seclusion, I specifically instructed them not to see anyone! They were merely acting on orders. What crime have they committed? "
"Ah! This … "Miao Yi hurriedly released Tian Yu and sheathed his sword artifact. He personally helped the two girls up from the ground, then bowed deeply and apologized," I was too rash. Please forgive me, Aunties! "
With blood dripping from their noses and mouths, the two girls bit down on their lips and bowed in return, "We wouldn't dare!"
"So you know that you were rash? You dared to kill Wen Jiuxian just because of a disagreement in the capital, and now you even want to kill my people! " Huo Lingxiao pointed at Miao Yi's nose and bellowed angrily. He even wanted to kill Miao Yi. How dare he lay his hands on his own handmaidens? Huo Lingxiao had made a mental note of this and was prepared to get back at Miao Yi's handmaidens later.
"Big Brother is right. I know I was wrong. Please calm down, Big Brother!" Miao Yi apologized profusely, as sincere as he could be.
"What are you doing here?" Huo Lingxiao turned around and strode away. He really didn't want to see Miao Yi again. Lan Hou had pointed out the situation in the capital, and he was still a little frightened. He realized that he was at odds with this cheap brother of his.
Miao Yi followed Huo Lingxiao out to the main hall and sat down beside him. "Big Brother, I have something I need your help with."
The two girls who were beaten up earlier came over with tea. Huo Lingxiao looked at their swollen faces and felt a surge of anger. He coldly said, "You flatter me, Little Brother. How can I help you?"
Miao Yi took the teacup from Tian Yu and personally brought it to Huo Lingxiao. "Big Brother, there's no need to say such things out of anger. I would never make things difficult for you. It's just a matter of a word from you. It all depends on whether you want to help or not."
'A matter of a word from me?' Huo Lingxiao asked cautiously, "What do you want me to help you with?"
Miao Yi smiled. "I've just taken over two territories. Unfortunately, my foundation is shallow and I don't have anyone I can use. That's why I wanted to ask for your help. Give me some men."
Huo Lingxiao frowned. "That's it?"
Miao Yi nodded. "That's it. What do you think, Big Brother?"
'This isn't a big deal. I might as well beat this bastard up as soon as possible!' Huo Lingxiao wasn't in a hurry to agree. He asked, "How many men do you want?" If it was too many, he definitely wouldn't agree.
Miao Yi said humbly, "It doesn't matter how many men I have. What's important is that you give me a reliable man who can help me. Big Brother, how about this. I don't know much about the situation in other places, but I'm familiar with South Edict Manor. Yang Qing and I can be considered old acquaintances. Why don't you give Yang Qing to me? "
"Yang Qing?" Huo Lingxiao was taken aback. He quickly waved his hand and rejected, "Yang Qing is out of the question! I can give you the others, but not Yang Qing. " It wasn't without reason that he was willing to let Yang Qing oversee two of his subordinate manors. How could he let go of a capable subordinate so easily?
"I don't know anything about the others. Why would I want him? If I were to randomly find two subordinates, would I still need to ask Big Brother for help? If I knew Big Brother would have such an attitude, I would have directly asked Sister-in-law for him. "
Sister-in-law … Huo Lingxiao's eyelids suddenly twitched. He quickly glanced at Tian Yu and Liu Xing from the corner of his eyes, and berated, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not that I don't want to give him to you. It's that Yang Qing might not go with you."
"You don't have to worry about this, Big Brother. If Big Brother sincerely wants to help me, just write the release document. I will go talk to Yang Qing myself. If he isn't willing, I won't force him." Miao Yi immediately took out a jade archive and pushed it in front of Huo Lingxiao.
Huo Lingxiao gnashed his teeth in hatred, but he couldn't do anything about it since Miao Yi had grabbed his weak spot. In the end, he gritted his teeth and wrote the release document.
Miao Yi didn't linger after getting what he wanted. He wasn't in the mood to play with Huo Lingxiao either. After exchanging some pleasantries, he immediately took his leave and rushed to South Edict Manor.
Unlike when he forcefully barged into Huo Lingxiao's bedchamber, Miao Yi descended from the sky and landed outside South Edict Manor's mountain gates in an orderly manner. The two cultivators guarding the mountain gates were stunned when they saw him.
