She had guessed correctly. The two female assassins did indeed hate the six of them because of Huang Lin's death.
However, it didn't matter whether he guessed correctly or not. Miao Yi was here to denounce them, he was just looking for a reasonable excuse.
In the end, the outcome was very simple. Sanniang Jian had jumped out and pretended to be flirtatious with Miao Yi again. As such, they could talk things out peacefully. There were only two options left — give him money or give him his life!
It's fine if you don't have any ready-made Orbs of Will. Wen Fang and a few others from the Chamber of Commerce will immediately bring them over for you. You can just exchange your items directly.
After getting his hands on the Orbs of Will, Miao Yi reprimanded Li Yujuan a little before leaving with his group.
The group of people did not stop and immediately ran to the Sun Palace to look for the Suppressing Fourth Hall Master, Xiao Yecheng. This was no different from robbing, so Xiao Yecheng had no choice but to obey. After dealing with Xiao Yecheng, he returned to the Wood Traversing Palace and sought out Self Suppression Hall's Hall Master, Luo Mingguang, and then Zhen Geng Hall's Hall Master, Lu Yunke.
Finally, he returned to Suppressing Ninth Hall. Along the way, he paid a visit to his neighbor, the Hall Master of Suppressing Tenth Hall, Hu Zifen.
As soon as she saw Miao Yi clad in armor and wielding his spear, leading a group of Red Lotus cultivators straight into her sleeping quarters, Hu Zifen's expression changed before Miao Yi could even question her. Then, she took the initiative to welcome them, chuckling as she said, "Let's go! What a coincidence! I was just about to go to the Suppressing Ninth Hall to look for you. I didn't expect you to come here. "
Miao Yi scoffed, "You still have the nerve to look for me?"
Hu Zifen smiled and said, "What are you saying, Advisor? Didn't you ask me to apologize the last time? I was just about to go exchange my Orbs of Will and personally pay a visit to apologize."
So obedient? Miao Yi narrowed his eyes and asked, "What were you doing earlier? Didn't I only give you a month? "
Hu Zifen immediately put on an aggrieved look and said, "Isn't it all because of you, Advisor?"
Miao Yi was taken aback. He calmly replied, "I don't think I've done anything to you, have I?"
"Advisor, you can't be so forgetful, right? I helped you fight at the Spring Glory Brothel in the capital city, and then I was captured and brought to the Martial Manor. You men have thick skin, so of course it's fine, but how can a woman like me endure it? I was already scared out of my wits when I was hung there. Those five lashes of the whip almost killed me. This is not. I've just recovered, and I'm already thinking of apologizing to you. What else do you want me to do? "Hu Zifen looked wronged.
Her words made Miao Yi feel a little embarrassed, but when he thought about it, it made sense. A bunch of fellows from the capital had fought for him, and they were implicated and punished. Just thinking about the whipping sent chills down his spine. Now that he had gone back to blackmail them, it was indeed somewhat inexcusable.
But when he thought of how this group of people ridiculed him behind his back … This woman had nothing good to say, so why was she pretending to be wronged? Miao Yi sneered. He turned around and shouted, "Bring the two bastards who tried to assassinate me here!"
As soon as the two battered and exhausted female assassins appeared, they shouted at Hu Zifen, "It's her! That's her! She, along with Ma Weihan, Luo Mingguang, Lu Yunke, Li Yujuan, and Xiao Yecheng, the six of them were humiliated by Milord last time, so they ordered us to assassinate Milord! "
What was going on? Hu Zifen was a little confused.
The situation was easy to deal with. In the end, it was just a negotiation. Hu Zifen's so-called apology was much less. Not enough? I'll immediately invite the people from the Chamber of Commerce over …
After losing so much, Hu Zifen still forced a smile as she sent Miao Yi and the others off. Among the six people who had been blackmailed, she was the only one who could still greet them with a smile.
She had no choice. Her territory was right next to Miao Yi's. The others weren't afraid, but she was. When she saw Miao Yi coming with a group of people, she was terrified. She thought that Miao Yi had brought people to attack her.
After sending Miao Yi and the others off, Hu Zifen's forced smile turned into grief and indignation.
One million and two hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will was not a small sum for a Hall Master. She used to be the Hall Master of Suppressing Tenth Hall. It was a very ordinary hall. This meant that she had worked as a Hall Master for over a hundred years for nothing. If she didn't have any other benefits, she would have to spend at least a thousand years to save up one million and two hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will. She would have to save up for at least a thousand years to save up one million and two hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will. In the end, Miao Yi emptied it all in a single night. Fortunately, she had some spoils from the attack on Sun Traversing Palace. Otherwise, she would have been devastated. But she was still devastated. She could have kept it for herself. Why did she have to give it away to someone else? She hated herself for talking too much in the first place …
After leaving Suppressing Tenth Hall, Miao Yi bid farewell to Wen Fang in the wilderness. However, Wen Fang was busy trying to convince him, "Big Brother, it's not convenient for you to carry so many Orbs of Will with you. Why don't you deposit them in the Chamber of Commerce? You can withdraw them whenever you want. It won't take up much of your time, and you can even earn some interest. Don't you agree?"
She had no choice but to watch as Miao Yi earned seven million and two hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will. There were only so many Orbs of Will in the world. The Chamber of Commerce had to encourage its clients, especially the big ones, to deposit the Orbs of Will they didn't need at the moment into the Chamber of Commerce. Only then would the Chamber of Commerce have enough Orbs of Will to do business and be able to trade for profits.
There was another benefit to allowing clients to deposit their Orbs of Will with the Chamber of Commerce. The cultivation realm was different from other places. Once the owner died, these items would be given to the Chamber of Commerce for nothing. Just the profits from this alone would be incredible.
This cheap little sister of his had gone on an errand with him. He indeed couldn't use up so many Orbs of Will in a short time, so he didn't reject her. Everyone would benefit from it. Miao Yi kept one million and two hundred thousand, and deposited the remaining six million into the Chamber of Commerce.
After bidding farewell to Wen Fang, he quickly led a group of subordinates and flew away.
Lingering on the hillside, Wen Fang watched silently as the black dots disappeared into the distance. She had rushed over after receiving Miao Yi's notice. She didn't know what was going on, but Miao Yi always came to find her after making a deal. Even so, she still sensed something was amiss. Why did it feel like this Big Brother was using force to coerce those Hall Masters? Did he need to bring so many Red Lotus cultivators with weapons to make a deal? In the middle of the group were two women who were in terrible states. In any case, none of those Hall Masters had a good expression on their faces. Each one of them looked worse than the last.
Wen Fang couldn't help but sigh. This Big Brother was rising too quickly. Moreover, he was moving from one place to another. Even if she wanted to follow him, she couldn't keep up. After all, she couldn't always be transferred to wherever she wanted.
"Manager Wen, why do I feel like this Hall Master Miao is robbing us!? Do the feudal vassals still do things like this nowadays? "asked an old man who was in charge of inspecting the goods.
"I don't know what's going on. This is the business of their local forces. It's not something we should worry about. In any case, this is a normal transaction. Let's go!"
In Suppressing Ninth Hall, a group of people descended from the sky and landed in the depths of the palace.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work!" As soon as Miao Yi landed, he began to distribute the spoils. He was very generous. This time, there were fourteen people who followed him. As a fee for running errands, each of them was given twenty thousand low-grade Orbs of Will. This was more than enough to pay them for many years as Advisors. In the blink of an eye, two hundred and eighty thousand Orbs of Will were distributed. "As long as everyone follows me with peace of mind, I will never mistreat my subordinates."
"Thank you, Master!" The group of Advisors were all smiles as they thanked him. This Orbs of Will was too easy to earn. They had only been here for a few days, and they had already earned twenty thousand low-grade Orbs of Will in one go. This was much better than when they were in the sect. The four people on duty who couldn't follow him were in for a bad time.
After just this one trip, the group of people were already addicted to it. Their eyes lit up, and they looked forward to the Hall Master doing this a few more times in the future. Those who didn't fight to go would be their grandsons.
However, everyone still looked at Miao Yi with envious gazes. They were only getting small profits. Master was the one getting rich. Just one trip and he had earned seven million and two hundred thousand Orbs of Will. After deducting the two hundred and eighty thousand Orbs of Will, he still had close to seven million left.
It wasn't that Miao Yi was reluctant to distribute more, but there were some things that couldn't be distributed too much. He had so many subordinates to support. If he distributed all of them in one go, what would he do in the future? He couldn't just go out and rob people every day, could he? If he really did that, he would definitely be beaten to death.
Besides, some things were indeed rewarded based on merit. Everyone had only followed him for a trip. It wouldn't be right for him to just reward them generously. Then what would he reward them with when they risked their lives for him in the future?
If it weren't for the fact that these people's cultivations were high, and that they were all expending a lot of energy, Miao Yi would have been able to send them off with a thousand or eight hundred Orbs of Will. He wouldn't have been able to distribute twenty thousand low-grade Orbs of Will to each of them in one go.
Seeing that everyone was receiving the same amount, Sanniang was a little unhappy. She muttered, "Milord, I put in the most effort on this trip. They were just watching from the side. I sacrificed my body."
Miao Yi turned to her and said in surprise, "All I did was act coquettishly and say a few words. I didn't even bring in any meat. And you call that sacrificing your body? How about I sacrifice my body to you as well, and you reward me with twenty thousand? "
Ximen Yan and the others immediately burst into laughter. Sanniang immediately glared at them, then turned back and complained, "Milord, if this matter were to spread, others would not know what kind of shady business I've done with Milord. My reputation would be completely ruined."
"Heh. That's a valid reason." Miao Yi asked everyone, "Then should I reward her a little more?"
The group of people laughed. They didn't know if Miao Yi wanted to reward them or not, so they didn't know what to say.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Miao Yi nodded and said, "If you don't say anything, then it means you have no objections. Fine." He took out another ten thousand Orbs and handed it to Sanniang.
Sanniang immediately received it, then happily bowed and said, "Thank you, Milord, for your reward."
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Then in the future, if you come across something that requires you to sacrifice your body, will you do it?"
Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled. "As long as you don't do it for real. Just act coquettishly, say a few sweet words, and even throw a glance at them."
Miao Yi scoffed. "You're not worried about your reputation anymore?"
Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled. "Since Milord has given his orders, I naturally won't refuse."
Miao Yi shook his head and waved his hand at the crowd. The group of people immediately stepped aside, revealing the two pitiful female assassins. One of them was called Jing Yan, and the other was called Jing Luo.
"Release the seals on their bodies. Release them!" Miao Yi waved his hand, and the Escorts who were holding the two immediately obeyed.
Now that they were free, the two raised their faces, which were covered by their messy hair, and looked at Miao Yi. Jing Yan licked her chapped lips, her voice hoarse as she said, "Thief Miao, if you want to kill us, then kill us. You've already used us up anyway. There's no need to pretend!"
Ximen Yan immediately shouted, "How dare you!"
