(A monthly pass of one thousand two hundred plus updates)
At this point, he was done. He would not speak further.
Shang Liuhuan said, "Advisor Miao, why are you stopping? Do you dare say you didn't use those two female assassins to blackmail Ma Weihan and the others? "
Miao Yi firmly denied, "I didn't!"
Zhuang Youwen chuckled, "Advisor Miao, so many people saw it. How can you deny it?"
Miao Yi sincerely said, "I don't need to deny it. I brought those two female assassins to kill them. They dared to secretly send people to assassinate me. Do you think I can't kill them? Fortunately, it didn't turn out to be a big mistake. After returning to Suppressing Ninth Hall, I realized something was wrong. After interrogating the two female assassins, I managed to pry open their mouths. It turns out that they hated Ma Weihan and the others for sending their master Huang Lin to die in vain. They held a grudge against the six of them, so they deliberately framed them! "
They didn't expect Miao Yi to not resist at all and admit to it on his own. However, he pushed all the blame onto the two female assassins, completely absolving himself of the blame. It seemed like he knew he couldn't deny it anymore. But this was good as well. It saved them a lot of trouble. The two female assassins were probably already killed, so it wasn't possible to do anything to this guy anymore.
Bo Yan said, "Since you were framed, then it's easy. Advisor Miao, return the things you took from Ma Weihan and the others."
Miao Yi asked curiously, "What did I take from them?"
Bo Yan's expression darkened. "Advisor Miao, you can't deny it. You took a total of seven million and two hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will from Ma Weihan and the others. This is not a small number. You have to hand it over."
"So you're talking about this!" Miao Yi laughed and said, "During the handover of the annual tribute, the six of them spoke rudely to our own people. I told them to apologize, otherwise I would not let them off lightly. This time, when I brought the two female assassins to settle the score with them, the six of them were probably intimidated by my aura. They obediently handed over one million and two hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will as a show of sincerity. I didn't even lay a finger on them. Many people here saw it. Advisor Bo Yan. Have you ever seen someone retract their sincerity in apologizing? "
Bo Yan glanced at the other two Advisors. All three of them had mocking expressions on their faces.
Zhuang Youwen said, "Advisor Miao, I'm impressed by your ability to invert right and wrong, but the victim is right in front of us. How can you just say whatever you want? You were clearly the one who forced them to give you the Orbs of Will. How did it become a sincere apology from your mouth? "
Miao Yi calmly replied, "Are you telling me that they have no respect for their superiors and insulted my Advisor as' Traitor Miao '? Do you think I can't accept their apology?"
Bo Yan said, "Don't try to change the subject. Forcing them and them taking the initiative are two different things. Forcing them is extortion and blackmail. Only when they are willing can it be called an apology. "
Miao Yi said, "I didn't force them … Why isn't Hu Zifen here? Previously, when I was at Hu Zifen's place to settle the score, I happened to see her going to Suppressing Ninth Hall to look for me. I asked her why she was looking for me, and she said that she felt guilty for insulting me the last time. She was going to exchange her Orbs of Will to apologize to her boss. Her sincerity was evident! If you don't believe me, why don't you summon her here right now? "
At the mention of Hu Zifen, everyone present was furious. They wanted her to come and testify against Miao Yi, but she actually found an excuse to not come. 'Since you're the one who didn't come, then you'll have to swallow this humiliation yourself!'
Bo Yan said solemnly, "If Hu Zifen was the one who took the initiative, then let's not talk about it. However, Ma Weihan and the others did not do it willingly. Advisor Miao, please hand over the Orbs of Will!"
"Advisor Bo Yan, this is not up to you to decide. Because you have no way of apologizing on their behalf!" Miao Yi abruptly turned around and glared coldly at Ma Weihan and the others. "I initially thought that the Hall Masters were willing to hand over the Orbs of Will to me as an apology. Since you've already apologized, I will not pursue the past! However, if you insist on taking these Orbs of Will back, then your so-called apology will no longer be valid. If that's the case, then the so-called apology won't be valid. You'd better think carefully! "
Ma Weihan and the others' expressions twitched. 'Should I take the Orbs back or not? Don't feel the pinch. Just take it back. Once this bastard refuses to let go of his disrespect for his superiors, we've already experienced it firsthand. The three Advisors don't seem to be able to win against him! '
They didn't say a word. Bo Yan and the other two Advisors looked back and were anxious on their behalf!
The Hall Masters were so frightened that they didn't dare to utter a word! Cheng Aofang was both annoyed and amused at the same time. 'It seems that Miao Yi didn't catch these Hall Masters for no reason. It turns out that he was setting up an ambush to threaten them. '
At first, Cheng Aofang was worried that Miao Yi wouldn't be able to keep his position in Wood Traversing Palace. Now, it seemed like she was worrying for nothing.
Bo Yan turned to Miao Yi and said, "Advisor Miao, you don't have to scare them in front of everyone. Just get rid of Hu Zifen and hand over the six million low-grade Orbs of Will!"
"That's right!" Zhuang Youwen and Shang Liuhuan nodded in agreement.
As long as they helped them get the Orbs of Will back, Ma Weihan and the others wouldn't just take it all back as if nothing had happened. At the very least, they would give them twenty percent of the Orbs of Will.
"Since the three Advisors have put it this way, I have no choice but to give them face. However, it's a little too late. Forget six million, I've already spent all seven million and two hundred thousand Orbs of Will. I just so happened to find a master artifact refiner to help me refine a transcendent artifact, and I've already given him all the money. Even if I wanted to take it back, I wouldn't be able to. " Miao Yi turned to look at Ma Weihan and the others, expressionlessly saying, "I don't think there's any need to trouble the three Advisors with this matter. If you insist on getting the Orbs of Will back, I won't force you. You can just talk to me later. However, I've already made myself clear. I can't fork out the money right now … so you don't have to worry. I won't renege on my debt. As long as you ask for it, once our two Halls have accumulated enough income, I will naturally return it to you. I will keep my word in front of the Palace Lord."
How dare you say you aren't going to renege on your debt? Can't you be any more shameless? Ma Weihan and the others were speechless. 'Your two Halls have nurtured so many Red Lotus experts. How long would you have to wait for your two Halls to return the debt?'
If it weren't for the fact that Miao Yi had caught hold of their 'disrespect for their superiors', the five of them were afraid that Miao Yi would use this matter to vent his anger on them. At the same time, they were worried that the three Advisors wouldn't be able to stop him. Otherwise, they would have made things clear with Miao Yi in front of the Palace Lord.
They didn't say anything, but how could the three Advisors let go of the tribute that was about to fall into their hands? Shang Liuhuan asked, "May I know which master artifact refiner Advisor Miao is looking for? Since he's an artifact refiner, he must not be a nobody. Tell me, and I'll personally take action to get the Orbs of Will back. I don't believe there's anyone who dares to go against the officials!"
"Mister Zi Yang!" Miao Yi calmly replied. He thought to himself, 'Go get it. Let's see where you're going to find him.'
'Mister Zi Yang? Who the hell knows where he is? ' Shang Liuhuan took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and asked, "May I ask, where can I find him, Advisor Miao?"
Miao Yi replied, "I don't know either. He left after I gave him the money. He'll naturally hand the transcendent artifact over to me once it's done. He still has that much credibility."
Shang Liuhuan's expression darkened. "Advisor Miao, are you trying to brush us off? Of all the master artifact refiners you could've looked for, why did you have to find that elusive Mister Zi Yang?"
Miao Yi asked, "Are you thinking that I'm lying, Advisor Shang?"
Shang Liuhuan chuckled coldly. "I don't know if you're lying or not. All I know is that you have a glib tongue, Advisor Miao. It's hard to tell if you're lying or not …" Before he could finish, he choked on his words. He watched as Miao Yi grabbed two spears out of thin air, one black and one white, and tossed them towards him.
These two spears were the Inversed-Scales Spears he used to use. One was a first grade spear, and the other was a second grade spear. Now that he was using the Qilin Spear, he had almost never used them again. However, he didn't discard them either. As for the Second Grade Inversed-Scales Spear and the Qilin Spear, other than the difference in the shape of the spear, they looked almost identical. No one in Wood Traversing Palace had ever tried to differentiate them, so he couldn't tell them apart.
Shang Liuhuan caught the spears and didn't know what to make of them. Miao Yi explained, "I used the first grade spear when I was in the White Lotus realm, and the second grade spear when I was in the Blue Lotus realm. The markings on the end of the spear have the hidden name 'Mister Zi Yang'. You'll be able to see it if you look closely."
When they heard that it was the work of the famous Mister Zi Yang, Shang Liuhuan quickly checked it out. Even Zhuang Youwen hurriedly took one and examined it.
The two of them followed Miao Yi's instructions and found the hidden name 'Mister Zi Yang'. They were a little speechless after reading it. They didn't think that the weapons this guy used when he was in the White and Blue realms were all the work of the famous Mister Zi Yang. Who could say that Miao Yi hadn't met Mister Zi Yang before?
Later on, Bo Yan also took the spear and examined it for a while. Even Cheng Aofang, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but come down and take a look.
It wasn't as if there weren't any master artifact refiners in the cultivation realm who were more famous than Mister Zi Yang. The key was that Mister Zi Yang was a discarded disciple of the number one artifact refiner sect, the Exquisite Refinement Sect. He almost became the successor to the Exquisite Refinement Sect's Sect Master, and on top of that, he had a bit of a tragic past. He could be considered a legendary figure!
"Although the weapons are simple, they are extraordinarily exquisite. Every part of them is filled with ingenuity. They are indeed the work of a famous master. There is no need for someone with such skills to use someone else's name. There is no doubt that this is Mister Zi Yang's work." Cheng Aofang clicked her tongue in admiration, then casually tossed the two spears back to Miao Yi. She even shot him a meaningful glance with her bright eyes.
Miao Yi accepted the items and said, "My cultivation has already reached the Red Lotus realm. It shouldn't be too much for me to exchange them for a Third Grade Transcendent Artifact, right?"
Bo Yan said solemnly, "Since the weapons Advisor Miao used in both stages were forged by Mister Zi Yang, I'm sure Advisor Miao has a way to contact him."
Miao Yi shook his head and said, "I really can't contact him. He's a mysterious person. You'll only be able to find him if he's willing to let you find him. If he's not willing to let you find him, then it'll be really hard to find him."
What could they do to him if he refused to admit it? The three Advisors gritted their teeth in anger. They really wanted to grab him and forcefully search his body to see if he had enough items on him to repay the debt. However, doing so would be too much. Miao Yi was a Palace Advisor. His status was clear for all to see!
Miao Yi then turned to Ma Weihan and the others and said, "The three of you must be afraid that I will bully the weak by working so hard for you. How about this? If the three of you wish to ask for the items as an apology, you can ask them now in front of the Palace Lord. I will definitely not renege on my debt. However, I will have to be more lenient on the deadline. I believe the three of you will not be so overbearing towards your own Advisors."
Ma Weihan and the others cursed in their hearts. 'You're clearly trying to act shamelessly and not returning the items to us. Do we really have to provoke you into continuing to act so disrespectfully just for something we can't get back?'
