After extorting all six Hall Masters, the two female assassins before him had been a great help to him. This was because they had given Miao Yi a good excuse to collect his debt, a good excuse to intimidate others into emptying their pockets.
Jing Lian was right. Miao Yi had used the two of them, but they were willing to be used. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been used if they were prepared to die.
After the two of them fell into Miao Yi's hands, he went to the dungeon to see them one day and asked them if they knew how Huang Lin died.
The two of them naturally scolded Miao Yi, saying that he killed him.
Miao Yi said that before he killed Huang Lin, he had never met Huang Lin, and had no enmity with him. They didn't even talk to each other. Why did I kill him? Miao Yi asked again, 'Do you know the situation at the time? Do you know why I killed him?'
The two of them had inquired about the situation at the time, so they naturally knew. When Miao Yi asked this, the two of them fell silent.
Miao Yi helped them answer, 'Because he deserved to die, I never thought of killing him, but he just had to come looking for death. If I was given another chance, I would still kill him.'
Miao Yi asked again, 'Why did I kill him?'
Miao Yi sighed, 'It's not wrong for you to take revenge for Huang Lin, but it's a pity you didn't kill me. With your cultivation, you want to kill me? Don't you think you're overestimating yourself? Your master couldn't even take one move from me. What right do you have to kill me? ' 'Logically speaking, Ma Weihan and the others should be the ones to take revenge on me. If the six Hall Masters joined forces to take revenge on me, wouldn't that be better than you two becoming assassins?'
Miao Yi said again, 'I know what happened, and so do you. You should know better than me who the main culprit is. If Ma Weihan and the others didn't send Huang Lin to his death, I wouldn't have to kill him. I'm only the murderer, but Ma Weihan and the others are the main culprits.'
The two of them cursed at him for sowing discord.
Miao Yi only asked, 'Did Huang Lin die unjustly?' 'Do you want to take revenge on Ma Weihan and the others?'
The two of them fell silent.
Miao Yi said. 'I'll give you a chance to take revenge. After that, I won't torture you two anymore. I'll give you a quick death. Are you up for it?'
So many experts had been defeated by Miao Yi. With their brains, how could they possibly be a match for Miao Yi? With just a few words, the two ladies had already bitten off Ma Weihan and the others …
At that moment, Qian'Er and Xue'Er had already come out from the back palace to welcome them. Yan Xiu was also walking over from nearby. The three of them had no idea what was going on. Miao Yi stared at Jing Zhi and Jing Luo and said, "You two are not even worth mentioning in front of me. I don't need to put on an act in front of you. I did promise to give you two a quick death, but I regret it now!"
The two of them immediately widened their eyes as they stared at Miao Yi. It was the kind of humiliation and anger that came from being used. When they thought about the torment they would have to endure later, their eyes were filled with the desire to tear Miao Yi into pieces.
However, before they could even curse, Miao Yi calmly said, "I have decided not to kill you all. I will spare your lives!"
As soon as he said that, the two women were instantly stunned. She looked at Miao Yi in disbelief, thinking that she had misheard.
Beside her, Jian Sanniang couldn't help but remind him, "Milord, please reconsider. If you let them go, I'm afraid they will not give up and harm you again!"
With his hands behind his back, Miao Yi sneered, "With just the two of them? If I can't even deal with the two of them, how can I establish myself in the cultivation realm? Not only will I spare their lives, but I will also keep them by my side. I will let them see with their own eyes whether or not their master, Huang Lin, died in my hands unjustly! "
He turned to look at the two ladies. "From today onwards, the two of you will stay in this palace and help me sweep the floor to atone for your crimes. I will give the two of you a thousand years. I will provide enough Orbs of Will for the two of you to cultivate. After a thousand years, I will bestow you with spiritual medicine and a pair of intact arms. If the two of you still want to kill me, I will return your freedom. I will wait for the two of you to seek revenge on me! "
Everyone looked at each other. Ximen Yan hurriedly said, "Milord, you can't. Keeping these two by your side will undoubtedly give them a chance to plot against you."
Miao Yi calmly said, "The palace is too peaceful. I want to keep these two dangerous people in the palace, so that you will have to be on edge. If you can't even protect yourselves against two armless people, do you think you can? Do you still expect you to be able to defend against the people outside? Why do I need to keep so many of you? "
Everyone was speechless at his words. They had never seen such a person, to actually find trouble and danger for himself. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
"Yan Xiu, I will leave these two to you. Arrange a place for them to stay in the palace, and give them a pair of brooms. Don't torture them, feed them well, and give them the Orbs of Will they need for cultivation!" Miao Yi tilted his head and calmly instructed.
"Yes!" Yan Xiu had already developed the habit of unconditionally obeying orders. He walked to the two ladies and beckoned, "Come with me."
Jing Zhi gritted her teeth and said, "Thief Miao, don't think that you can influence us like this. Don't even think that we will be grateful to you. As long as there is a chance, us sisters will definitely kill you, you dog thief!"
"Whether I am a thief or a hero, it is not up to you two nameless pawns to judge me. I do not need your gratitude." Miao Yi waved his hand, motioning for Yan Xiu to take them away.
"Let's go!" Yan Xiu furrowed his brows and shouted.
Before Jing Zhi and Jing Luolin turned around, they gave Miao Yi a deep look. There was a complicated look in their eyes, and they silently followed Yan Xiu and left.
As the crowd watched the two of them leave, they all looked at each other.
From then on, Miao Yi's palace became a unique spectacle in the entire cultivation realm. Those who entered and left Miao Yi's palace would always see two armless women carrying a broom on their shoulders, invoking their arts to control the broom to sweep the floor. Day after day, year after year.
Ximen Yan sighed and said, "Milord, it is just as they said. You treat them sincerely, but they may not necessarily let go of their hatred and be grateful to you."
Miao Yi said, "I gave them a thousand years, which is also the same as giving myself a thousand years. If I can't even subdue the two of them after a thousand years, how can I … oversee a region?!"
He originally wanted to talk about how he would honor the thousand-year promise he made with the Lady Boss. He wanted to use this to spur himself on, but he couldn't say it out loud.
The group of people at the side immediately felt a deep sense of respect. Such a breadth of mind was inferior to them. Surprise flashed through Sanniang's eyes. She felt that this was a true man, with a breadth of mind that was difficult for ordinary people to match. She couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the rumors about Miao Yi.
"But Milord, have you ever thought about one thing? When the six palaces interrogate each other, they will surely realize that Milord is using this as an excuse to extort money. When that time comes, they will report this to the Palace Lord. Furthermore, Milord has left two people alive …" Sanniang was implying that Miao Yi should reconsider.
"The item is already in my hands. Do I still need an excuse? Don't tell me that I can't accept the items of apology from the six palaces? I am the Palace Lord's Advisor. It's not like I can't speak in front of the Palace Lord. How can I allow others to slander me?! "Miao Yi scoffed, then flicked his sleeves and left.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er followed behind him. Their expressions were calm, and there was a hint of pride in their eyes. It wasn't hard to serve a master like this.
After watching Miao Yi leave, Sanniang's eyes brightened. She sincerely praised, "Milord is a true villain, and a true man!"
The group of people looked over. Ximen Yan said, "Sanniang, are you exaggerating, or are you insulting Milord?"
"What do you stinky men know?!" Sanniang rolled her eyes at them, then turned around and left the palace.
As expected, when Ma Weihan and the others realized that they had been extorted, they immediately reported this to the Wood Traversing Palace. The Wood Traversing Palace immediately issued a decree, summoning Miao Yi to the palace for an audience.
As usual, Miao Yi led Ximen Yan and Jian Sanniang to the Wood Traversing Palace. When he arrived, he left the two behind and went to the rear palace alone to pay his respects.
When he arrived at the rear palace, he didn't see Cheng Aofang right away. Aunt Qing had him wait there.
Soon, Zhuang Youwen, Shang Liuhuan, and Bo Yan arrived with Ma Weihan and the others. The five of them tilted their heads to the side, refusing to look at Miao Yi, who had arrived a step ahead of them.
Miao Yi swept his gaze across them. When he realized that Hu Zifen wasn't around, he was instantly delighted. It looked like there were some benefits to having eighteen Advisors. Hu Zifen, whose territory was right next to his, was clearly afraid. Miao Yi might not be able to help the others, but if Hu Zifen angered him, he could come up with an excuse to attack at any time.
He was an Advisor himself. After establishing his territory, he didn't need the other Advisors to speak up for him. He could speak up for himself in front of the Palace Lord, and he had the right to refute the words of the other Advisors.
The five of them waited outside, ignoring Miao Yi. They didn't say a word either. Miao Yi raised his head to look at the sky.
He didn't say a word either. When Aunt Yu walked out of the door and called for the five of them to enter, Miao Yi suddenly scoffed. He glared at the five of them and shouted, "Why are the five of you acting like you can't see your own Advisors? Don't you even know the basic rules? "
The expressions of the five of them froze. Zhuang Youwen and the other two were also taken aback when they turned around to look at Miao Yi. They quickly gave the five of them a look, signaling them to follow the rules. There was no need to cause trouble for themselves over such a small matter.
However, Miao Yi didn't even give them a chance to make up for their mistakes. He strode straight into the hall.
The five of them looked at each other for a while. They had no choice but to go in first.
At this moment, Cheng Aofang walked out from the back and sat down. Her gaze swept across Miao Yi. Just a while ago, she had praised Miao Yi for 'doing a good job' as an Advisor. He almost never showed his face in front of her, the Palace Lord. Now, in just a few days, he had stirred up trouble and had to meet her again.
The five of them cupped their fists and greeted, "We respectfully greet the Palace Lord!"
"Dispense with the formalities!" Cheng Aofang raised her hand to support them.
As soon as the five of them accepted their gifts, Zhuang Youwen was about to step out. However, Miao Yi was already one step ahead of them. He cupped his fists towards Cheng Aofang and said, "Reporting to the Palace Lord. I have something to report to the Palace Lord!"
Cheng Aofang was slightly taken aback. She looked at Zhuang Youwen and the others, who were just as shocked. She then nodded and said, "Speak!"
