Since it had already been decided, wasn't it just bringing one or two hundred people along? This was easy. He could also bring Yang Qing along to bid farewell to Huo Lingxiao.
Carrying Yang Qing, Miao Yi quickly soared into the sky.
Huo Lingxiao couldn't wait to send Miao Yi away as soon as possible. Since Yang Qing had already been released, he didn't need to rely on the manpower that could be replenished at any time. Naturally, he agreed.
All that was left was to hand over all the territories in South Edict Manor. This matter couldn't be completed in a short amount of time.
As for Miao Yi, there was no need for him to linger any longer. He couldn't bring so many people along with him anyway, so he could only let Yang Qing lead his troops and make a long journey to Wood Traversing Palace's territory, while he returned first...
In the Wood Elemental Palace's Suppressing Ninth Hall, a streak of golden light flashed across the sky. The Golden Condor's phantom image instantly retracted, and the Sixth Lord landed in the courtyard of the rear palace.
The palace maids who were in the midst of cleaning and trimming the flowers and grass in the palace looked over in astonishment. Ximen Yan's figure also quickly flashed over. Staring at Sixth Master, she shouted, "Who is it?"
After Miao Yi left, there were no Red Lotus experts keeping watch over this place. It wasn't convenient for Yao Ruoxian to show his face in public, so Ximen Yan had been ordered to stand guard.
"I am Miao Yi's friend," Lord Liu calmly replied.
Seeing that he was standing there with his hands clasped behind his back, Ximen Yan indeed did not look like he was hostile. Ximen Yan then turned his head to look at Qian 'Er and Xue' Er who had just walked out of the house. There was a questioning look in his eyes. He was new here, so he couldn't tell who was friend or foe.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment. There was actually such a beautiful woman in the world. She could make a woman's heart race even when she was dressed as a man. What would happen if she was dressed as a woman?
"May I know who my lord's friend is?" Qian 'Er asked.
"Let him come out and see me. He will naturally recognize me." As soon as Lord Liu finished speaking, his bright eyes scrutinized the two ladies once more. He asked, "Are you two Miao Yi's personal handmaidens?"
The two girls looked at each other. "Yes! Since Sir is not at home, why don't you leave your name? When Sir returns, we will inform you. "
Just then, Yan Beihong descended from the sky with a swoosh.
Godfather Liu's flying speed was too fast. Yan Beihong couldn't catch up to him, but he did bump into him a second time on his way here. As soon as Yan Beihong saw the direction he was coming from, he knew that the other party had no idea what was going on and had gone to Suppressing Tenth Hall first.
"Lord Yan!" Qian 'Er and Xue' Er immediately stepped forward and bowed.
Yan Beihong glanced at Lord Liu, then waved his hand at the two girls and said, "Dismiss the others."
Thereupon, the two women made Ximen Yan and all the palace maids in the back palace withdraw.
Yan Beihong didn't see Miao Yi come out. He asked, "Where did your parents go?"
Qian 'Er replied, "He hasn't returned since he went to the capital to hand in the tribute."
"Sixth Lord …" Yan Beihong turned around and called out.
"I'll wait!" Godfather Liu said as he strode towards the main hall.
Who is this person? How could anyone barge into His Excellency's chambers! Qian'Er and Xue'Er hurriedly tried to stop her.
"Let her do it." Yan Beihong spoke up to stop the two women.
Both of them knew about the relationship between Yan Beihong and Miao Yi. Back in the secular world, the two of them had been through life and death together. They were able to entrust their women to each other in times of crisis, and their relationship was even stronger than that of Sikong Wuwei and Zhao Fei.
The two women listened to his words and gave up trying to stop him. However, Qian 'Er still asked, "Lord Yan, who is she?"
Yan Beihong shook his head and said, "Serve her well. Don't neglect her. Wait for your parents to return." He then walked into the main hall and found himself a chair to sit on.
Qian 'Er and Xue' Er served tea to the two of them. They were a little speechless as they watched Lord Liu pacing around the room.
"Is this what your Excellency usually uses?"
Lord Liu suddenly asked as he walked around to the study behind the antique shelf. He caressed the documents and utensils on the table, one by one.
The two women walked in to take a look and were at a loss for words. It seemed like His Excellency wasn't good at calligraphy. He was someone who couldn't even be bothered to lift a brush. Even if he occasionally wrote a word or two, it would still be unsightly. It didn't match his status at all. Instead, the two of them spent most of their time writing and drawing. After all, they had both received instruction in the four arts.
Naturally, the two of them wouldn't say anything bad about His Excellency. Xue 'Er humbly said on Miao Yi's behalf, "I don't use it often."
However, Lord Liu abruptly turned around and glared at them coldly. He held an inkstone in his hand and berated, "Is this how you serve your Excellency? How can you bring out such crudely made things for your Excellency to use? "
The two women were speechless. 'This is pretty good stuff. How did it become crudely made in your mouth?' 'Besides. His Excellency isn't interested in things like writing. Moreover, who are you? What right do you have to criticize him in his Excellency's study? '
A cloud of suspicion floated in the two women's minds. This woman was so beautiful, and she was acting like the mistress of this place. Could she be his future wife?
"This, this, and this. Are these crudely made things something that can be placed in your Excellency's study? Change them all when you get back. "
Her words went in one ear and out the other.
Yan Beihong, who was holding a teacup outside, had a twitching expression on his face. They hadn't even met, and she was already acting like the Master's younger sister.
Lord Liu walked out of the study and pointed at the things in the living room. "Change all the tables and chairs as well. Change them all to 'Jade Wood's'."
Jade Wood? Yan Beihong muttered to himself, 'Do you think this is the Realm Beyond Heaven?'
"Where is your Excellency's bedroom?" Lord Liu turned around and asked.
"How can an outsider barge into His Excellency's bedroom?" Xue Er frowned.
"Outsider? I'm an outsider? " Lord Liu turned around and looked the two women up and down. He said calmly, "In front of me, the two of you really don't have the right to say such things. You two remember this well. From today onwards, I am the master of this place. If you make me unhappy, I will help your Excellency get two more handmaidens. "
After saying this, he turned around and left to look for them. In any case, he was going to take a look at every room in this place to make up for what he had lost.
Who was this? How could she be so arrogant? Could she really be his future wife? The two women were shocked. Seeing her barge in, they hurriedly tried to stop her.
Unexpectedly, Yan Beihong put down his teacup and sighed. "You two should stop looking for trouble. Let her be. Even if she destroys this palace, your Excellency won't be able to do anything about it."
The two women looked at each other and hurried over. They had to get to the bottom of this. Qian'Er bowed and said, "Lord Yan, who is she? Could she be my Excellency's future wife? Otherwise, why would she dare to call herself the master of this place? "
Yan Beihong retorted, "Don't you two know that your Excellency had a pair of relatives when he was still in the secular world?"
The two women instantly widened their eyes. They had heard Miao Yi mention this before. He said that he had a younger brother and sister. However, Miao Yi never revealed their whereabouts. That Lord Liu was obviously a woman disguised as a man … After a moment of shock, the two of them gasped in unison, "She's Excellency's little sister?"
If the two of them didn't know, Yan Beihong wouldn't have said anything. But now that they knew, he naturally nodded and said, "You two should understand now, right? She really can be considered the master of this place."
Qian'Er and Xue'Er immediately panicked. They quickly picked up their skirts and ran away. They didn't want their Excellency to really swap them out.
They then found Lord Liu, who was wandering around aimlessly. The two of them respectfully bowed and said, "Your servant greets Lord Liu!"
After that, Lord Liu pointed and asked for directions, and the two of them gave him a detailed introduction.
When they arrived at Miao Yi's sleeping quarters, Lord Liu walked to the side of the bed and reached out to remove the mattress to take a look. He pressed down on it and said, "The mattress is too hard. Change it to a snow velvet one …" Then, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to ask, "Do you two usually serve your Excellency in bed?"
The two girls didn't expect him to ask this. Their faces flushed red as they nodded bashfully.
"Then there's no need to change it. Just let your Excellency make do with it." Lord Liu scoffed and removed the mattress.
The two girls were speechless. This was too much of a blow to their confidence. Why did they not have to change the mattress they served? What was snow velvet? No, they would change it later.
With his hands behind his back, Lord Liu looked around the room and asked, "Does your Excellency have a wife yet?"
The two girls replied, "Not yet."
Lord Liu nodded. "Mm! I'll remind your Excellency later. If you want to marry into this house, you must first let me take a look at you. You can't just marry any random random woman. "
"Understood!" The two girls hurriedly nodded in response. They agreed with this. They hoped that this Madam would be strict with them. It would be best if the threshold was so high that no one could enter.
"Also, the two of you must keep an eye on your Excellency. Don't let him learn the bad habits of those stinky men. Don't let any random random woman climb into your Excellency's bed."
"This …" The two girls seemed troubled. Qian'Er replied, "As servants, it's not appropriate for us to interfere with Excellency's matters."
Lord Liu immediately emphasized, "I'm the one who told you to do this. If anything happens, I'll take care of it for you! If your Excellency isn't happy, tell him to come find me. "
"Understood!" The two girls reluctantly agreed.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi was oblivious to the situation. He flew through the air and landed in the courtyard. He walked into the hall and saw Yan Beihong sitting there. After a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "Big Brother Yan, why are you here?"
Yan Beihong stood up and walked over. He patted Miao Yi's shoulder and smiled bitterly. "Little Brother, please don't misunderstand. It's not that I wanted to reveal anything. It's just that she suddenly came to my territory out of the blue. I can't hide it anymore even if I wanted to."
"What can't be hidden anymore?" Miao Yi asked with furrowed brows. His words weren't very clear. He had no idea what the other party was talking about.
Yan Beihong leaned his head closer and muttered, "Lord Liu!"
"What Lord Liu?" Miao Yi asked curiously. Then, he suddenly jolted in shock. His entire body trembled as though he was struck by lightning. He stared at Yan Beihong in disbelief.
Yan Beihong nodded slightly. "It's that Lord Liu from the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. I didn't say anything, but he already saw through it and came straight here to find you." He pointed behind him and continued, "He's currently wandering around your sleeping quarters."
Without another word, Miao Yi turned around and left. He wanted to hide, but Yan Beihong grabbed his arm.
