This reason was very practical and didn't beat around the bush at all!
"Cough, cough …" Cheng Aofang choked a little. She quickly put down the teacup and covered her mouth as she coughed.
Zhuang Youwen, Shang Liuhuan, and Bo Yan were speechless.
"Brother Miao, your way of thinking is wrong. You're going to beat up whoever insults you? That's not realistic! As far as I know, there are many people who curse at you in this world! Can you beat them? " Bo Yan was indeed someone who had been in charge of negotiations. He advised, "You have to be reasonable. You can't act recklessly."
This was the benefit of having a higher rank. If Miao Yi didn't have the nominal position of Advisor under the Palace Lord, he would probably be pointing at his nose and scolding him right now. How could he argue with him on equal footing?
"I don't know if the people of the world are scolding me or not, and I can't do anything about it. But it's the Wood Traversing Palace's fault for scolding me. I was personally appointed by the Palace Lord to be the Palace Lord of two Halls' Palace Lords and Advisor. Scolding me is disrespectful to the Palace Lord!" As Miao Yi said this, he cupped his fists towards Cheng Aofang to show his respect and said, "Since Bo Yan wants to be reasonable, then may I ask that since the three of you are also Advisors, what logic is there for a subordinate to scold his superior?"
Zhuang Youwen said, "Brother, this is their fault. When we return, we will ask the Palace Master to issue a decree to reprimand them! However, you've gone too far by creating eighteen Advisors. If everyone did what you did, wouldn't the various job openings be a mess? "
Miao Yi asked curiously, "I spend my own money and raise my own troops. What's wrong with that? He didn't ask anyone to fork out a single crystal coin! I don't have any objections even if everyone does it like me. If you ask them to do it with a few dozen Adepts, I definitely won't have any objections. I definitely won't say a single 'no'. To put it bluntly, my two Halls are at the bottom of the Wood Traversing Palace. The combined income of my two Halls can't even compare to that of a single Hall. They definitely have enough money to support more people. "
The moment he said this, Zhuang Youwen and the other two immediately cursed in their hearts. 'Everyone is like you, throwing money out to get a bunch of Walkers, while the three of us are left to starve. You're just a Walker, but you don't have to pay us anything.'
Everyone knew that most Hall Masters wouldn't do things like Miao Yi, spending all their money to support others. What was the point of being a Hall Master then? This guy didn't play by the rules at all.
Shang Liuhuan said, "That's because he follows the rules better than you!"
Miao Yi immediately retorted. "Rules my ass. It's just that they're unwilling to take out the resources that are already in their pockets."
Shang Liuhuan said, "In short, what you are doing is wrong."
Miao Yi asked, "Then what do you want from me?"
Shang Liuhuan said, "Immediately dismiss all the Advisors!"
Miao Yi lowered his gaze and said, "If you insist on being so unreasonable, I can grant you your wish. If you think the title of Advisor is an eyesore, then I will let you have your way. The twelve deacons under me are still empty. At worst, I can let them become deacons. Letting them become deacons won't be too much, right? You don't have to control how much I pay them, do you? It's none of your business that I'm poking my own pockets, right? "
However, there was no rule stating that Red Lotus cultivators couldn't become Deacons. The three of them were completely speechless. It seemed like this guy still had a trick up his sleeve. 'Others are just afraid of the eighteen Red Lotus cultivators under you. What's the point of calling them by a different name? They're still the same people, so why would they need you to disband them?
Zhuang Youwen, Shang Liuhuan, and Bo Yan looked at each other. They were completely speechless. There was no point in disbanding them anymore.
Seeing that there were no more objections, Cheng Aofang picked up her teacup and sent them off. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave you be."
As she watched them leave, Cheng Aofang smirked.
To her. Having more Red Lotus cultivators was a good thing. Even though they were the subordinates of the Hall Masters, they were still part of her Wood Traversing Palace's forces. Unfortunately, the Hall Masters couldn't possibly take out most of their cultivation resources to support others …
Wood Traversing Palace wasn't far from Suppressing Ninth Hall. As soon as they arrived, Miao Yi immediately gathered the fourteen Advisors and brought the two female assassins out from the dark dungeon. Fifteen figures then quickly flew into the sky.
As they approached Suppressing Ninth Hall, the entire group of people took out their weapons. Miao Yi was even more exaggerated. He was clad in battle armor and wielding the Qilin Spear.
The group of people immediately arrived above Suppressing Ninth Hall. Miao Yi stood in the air and glared at the palace below, shouting, "Ma Weihan, get your ass out here!"
So many Red Lotus cultivators had come all of a sudden. The troops below were instantly thrown into disarray.
As soon as Ma Weihan ran out of the sleeping quarters, he looked up and saw Miao Yi and his men charging towards him. His expression instantly changed, and he began to panic.
Whoosh whoosh! The fifteen men immediately landed in front of Ma Weihan. Miao Yi had a stern expression on his face. He raised his spear and approached.
Ma Weihan retreated, and the two handmaidens behind him followed suit. Even though Miao Yi had come alone, he was still nervous. It was no exaggeration to say that he had killed the Hall Master of Traversing Celestial Palace with just a few punches and kicks. Not to mention, he had brought so many men with him to intimidate them.
Back when they were at Wood Traversing Palace, no one thought that Miao Yi would dare to cause trouble in another's territory. When Ma Weihan found out that Miao Yi had brought out eighteen Advisors, he didn't think much of it. After all, they wouldn't be able to invade his territory. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect Miao Yi to come knocking on his door just like that.
Ma Weihan stopped in his tracks and forced himself to remain calm. However, Miao Yi pressed his spear against his chest.
The sharp tip of the spear pierced his chest painfully. Ma Weihan asked solemnly, "Advisor Miao, why are you doing this?"
At this moment, Ma Weihan's three Advisors had arrived as well. One of them was the newly appointed one. Someone shouted, "Advisor Miao, why are you being so aggressive?!"
Miao Yi didn't care at all. He only stared at Ma Weihan and sneered, "I already knew that you were being disrespectful to my Advisor. I wanted to be magnanimous and let you off the hook. Who knew that you would dare to send someone to assassinate my Advisor? How audacious of you. Do you think that I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Ma Weihan was surprised. "Why do you say that, Advisor?"
"Fine! Don't say that I've wronged you. I'll let you die knowing the truth! " Miao Yi sheathed his spear and walked back. The fourteen men behind him immediately pushed out two women with broken arms. Their clothes were tattered and their hair was disheveled. Miao Yi nodded. Ximen Yan immediately grabbed the two women by their hair and revealed their faces.
Miao Yi pointed his spear at the two women and turned to Ma Weihan. "Don't you dare say that you don't know them."
The two handmaidens behind Ma Weihan looked at each other in surprise. They clearly knew each other. Ma Weihan furrowed her brows and said, "Huang Lin's handmaidens!"
"It's good that you know them! These two despicable people actually dared to infiltrate my newly recruited troops and ambush me from behind while I was out in the open. I was caught off guard at such a close distance, and almost fell into their hands. "Miao Yi then turned to look at the two ladies and shouted," Speak! Who ordered the two of you to assassinate me?! "
The two tortured women glared at Ma Weihan, their eyes filled with hatred. They screamed at the top of their lungs, "It was Ma Weihan! He ordered us to assassinate you, Milord!"
At this moment, the troops of Suppressing Fifth Hall had also rushed over, but no one dared to make a move. With so many Red Lotus experts around, they should be thanking the heavens if they didn't make a move first. When they heard Miao Yi's words, they secretly exchanged glances. Even the three Advisors were a little convinced. Even if they hadn't seen Ma Weihan and Miao Yi before, they had heard about the grudge between them. It was entirely possible that Ma Weihan would use these two handmaidens to assassinate Miao Yi with the intention of avenging Huang Lin.
Ma Weihan, on the other hand, was shocked. She flew into a rage and pointed at the two women, shouting, "Bitches! How dare you slander me! "
"It's him! It's him! "The two female assassins repeated the same words.
Miao Yi pointed his spear at Ma Weihan and shouted, "The evidence is irrefutable! How dare you quibble! I gave you a month's time to apologize, but you still haven't shown up. So it turns out you were hiding such a vicious scheme! " He then pointed his spear at Ma Weihan's subordinates and said, "Generals of Suppressing Ninth Hall, heed my command. Anyone who dares to stop me from killing this traitor will be punished with the same crime and will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!" The dozen men he brought with him acknowledged the order in unison. Each of them raised their weapons and coldly glared at the people around them.
Ma Weihan's subordinates looked at each other.
Miao Yi was already approaching Ma Weihan with his spear in hand. Ma Weihan was shocked and said, "Advisor, there must be a misunderstanding here. How can you believe only one side of the story?!" He had already taken out his weapon and was on guard. If it came down to it, he would have to fight with his life on the line. His two handmaidens did the same as well.
Miao Yi shouted, "You insulted me right in front of me, and you still refuse to apologize. It's clear that you have evil intentions. If I had known earlier, I would have killed you!"
At this moment, Jian Sanniang suddenly appeared and blocked Miao Yi's way. She kindly reminded him, "Milord, you and Hall Master Ma are still officials of the same hall. If there's anything, you can sit down and discuss it. You don't have to fight to the death."
Ma Weihan immediately nodded his head and said, "Your words are very kind. Advisor, you must not allow others to sow discord between us." He then extended his arm and said, "Please come inside!"
Miao Yi looked like he was about to explode, but Jian Sanniang suddenly grabbed his arm with both hands. She swayed her body and called out sweetly, "Milord!"
On the surface, she acted coquettishly, but in her heart, she was cursing, 'To think that a Advisor would have to do such a thing. I've suffered a great loss this time!'
Ximen Yan and the others were either looking up at the sky, at their surroundings, or at the ground.
With Jian Sanniang acting coquettishly, Miao Yi's anger instantly dissipated. He scoffed, "I'll listen to you this once." He then raised his spear and followed Ma Weihan inside.
No one knew what they were discussing inside, but not long after, Jian Sanniang came out. She stood at the door and nodded her head. One of the Advisors that Miao Yi had brought with him immediately flew away.
When he returned, he brought Wen Fang and a few other members of the Chamber of Commerce inside.
They didn't have to wait too long before the people inside came out. Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
The group of people immediately shot into the sky.
Ma Weihan slowly walked out of the main hall with a gloomy expression on his face. 'What was there to talk about? In the end, it was still about apologizing, even including Huang Lin's death. Three people, four hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will for each of them. That amount had doubled again, making it a total of one million and two hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will. 'If you don't pay, I'll kill you. Are you going to pay or not?'
He didn't have that many Orbs of Will to begin with, but it was easy! She immediately helped him invite the people from the Chamber of Commerce over. He sold his items and collected one million and two hundred thousand to pay as compensation …
Sun Traversing Palace's Hall of Suppression.
Huang Lin's two handmaidens stared at Hall Master Li Yujuan, and once again screamed at the top of their lungs, "It's her! It's her! She, and Ma Weihan, Luo Mingguang, Lu Yunke, Hu Zifen, and Xiao Yecheng. The six of them were humiliated by Milord last time, so they ordered us to assassinate Milord! "
