After exchanging some pleasantries with Grandmaster Qi Jie, Zong Zhen went off to chat with the others.
Ba Jie returned to Grandmaster Qi Jie's side. Miao Yi had just heaved a sigh of relief when his heart tensed up again. This was because the Lady Boss was leading the carpenter and stonemason over, causing his heart to race. He thought to himself, 'Has this woman gone mad? What is she trying to do?'
Walking up to Miao Yi, the Lady Boss crossed her arms over her chest. The two of them stood face to face, staring at Miao Yi with a faint smile. The carpenter and stonemason stared coldly at Miao Yi, as though they had a deep grudge against him.
Cheng Aofang looked at Miao Yi, then at the Lady Boss. She furrowed her brows. She knew that this was the Lady Boss of Tempest Tavern, but she had never interacted with her before. From the looks of it, she and Miao Yi seemed to know each other. How did they know each other?
At the side, Yue Tianbo, who was conversing with someone, unintentionally glanced over at his own troops. Seeing that Miao Yi was being targeted by the Lady Boss, he quickly apologized to the person he was conversing with. He turned around and walked over, smiling as he asked, "Yun Zhiqiu, why aren't you letting go of my subordinate?"
"Overlord Envoy Yue, is he your subordinate?" The Lady Boss turned around and asked.
Yue Tianbo nodded with a smile. "Of course. You've been eyeing my subordinate for so long. Could it be that you've taken a fancy to him?"
The lady boss giggled and said, "You really guessed it. I really like him and like him from the bottom of my heart. I wish I could take him away immediately and treat him well. How about … Lord Envoy Yue give me some face and give him to me?"
Miao Yi's heart skipped a beat. Once his affair with the Lady Boss was exposed, even Zong Zhen wouldn't be able to protect Yue Tianbo in the Boundless Nation. There was no way he could leave the Boundless Nation alive.
Lady Boss, why are you making a fuss? People will die! Miao Yi was on tenterhooks.
Cheng Aofang and the others didn't know what was going on, so when they heard the Lady Boss's words, they were all dumbfounded. The Lady Boss of Tempest Tavern had taken a liking to Miao Yi? And she even openly admitted that she liked Miao Yi. Did she hear that right? What he didn't know was that Miao Yi's back was almost drenched in sweat.
Even the people nearby looked over in astonishment when they heard this. They seemed to be extremely shocked. Oh my god! Am I hearing things? Tempest Tavern's Lady Boss? Dao Sage Feng Beichen's granddaughter-in-law was actually confessing her love to another man in front of everyone in the Boundless Nation. Was the world going to collapse?
However, Yue Tianbo, who knew a little about the situation, didn't think that way. He believed that if the Lady Boss were to take Miao Yi away … How could Miao Yi survive?! He immediately chuckled and said, "No problem! Love between a man and a woman is very normal. I also like to help people achieve their goals. Since big sister likes it, I will definitely help you. How about this! Let us follow the ways of the world. Usually, it's the woman who follows the man. If Big Sister really likes him, why don't you come to my Fifth Earthly Road? I guarantee that you'll be together every day. I can still give you this guarantee in the Fifth Earthly Road. "
The Lady Boss clicked her tongue and said, "Lord Envoy Yue sure is generous. This little sister is so moved by your words." She threw a flirtatious look at Miao Yi and said, "But I have to be willing to do this. I'm just afraid that this person won't be willing to take me away!"
Yue Tianbo chuckled and said, "How can he not be happy about such a wonderful thing? As long as Big Sister is willing to come, I will help him make the decision. "
Cheng Aofang and the others were dumbfounded. 'This woman is abnormal. Is the Overlord abnormal as well? What kind of nonsense is he spouting? '
Like a ripple, the silence quickly spread to the surroundings. Everyone's gazes were focused on the scene. Even those in the distance were looking over in bewilderment. If they weren't slowly gathering over, they would be invoking their arts and listening intently. Nobody knew what was going on.
Naturally, this incident also attracted the attention of Wu Zhen and Wu Ming. When they saw that it was Miao Yi, their expressions immediately changed. When they saw the Lady Boss, they knew that Miao Yi was hiding in the Tempest Tavern. They immediately knew that Miao Yi was in trouble.
Seeing that his Big Brother was in trouble, Ba Jie quickly walked over with his palms pressed together.
However, the Lady Boss continued to tease Miao Yi, "Lord Envoy Yue, you've already put it this way. As a man, you should at least say something if you're willing or not! "
With his back drenched in sweat, Miao Yi glared at the Lady Boss as he realized that he was being targeted by so many important figures. Deep down, he was cursing, 'Damn woman, just you wait.' I'll teach you a lesson later. How dare you trick me like this! '
However, Miao Yi couldn't reply to her. He couldn't say that he was willing, and he couldn't say that he was unwilling either. He hated the fact that there was no way he could hide in this place. He had been tormented by the Lady Boss for quite some time now.
Of course, the carpenter and stonemason were well aware of this, but they pretended not to know. The two of them were also worried for Miao Yi. They reckoned that Miao Yi must have been tormented to the point of death by the Lady Boss by now.
Miao Yi could only reply expressionlessly, "I don't think we know each other, do we?"
"Oh! You heartless bastard. " The Lady Boss clicked her tongue and said, "Niu Er, you've been a waiter at my Tempest Tavern for so many years. I've raised you well. How long has it been since we last met? How can you not know each other already? I've always been thinking about you. Aren't you afraid that I'll be sad if you forget about me so quickly? "
She continued to tease Miao Yi. In fact, she was openly flirting with him, which was equivalent to revealing Miao Yi's other hidden identity.
Miao Yi didn't wear a mask when he was still at Tempest Tavern, so she didn't know if there were any other people present who recognized him. That was why she couldn't just pretend not to know him. She might even draw suspicion. She might as well just reveal it. However, Miao Yi really couldn't handle her methods.
"Niu Er?" The crowd was in an uproar. Some of them were even more surprised. "He's Niu Er?"
In that instant, everyone seemed to understand what the Lady Boss meant. She wasn't flirting with him, but rather, she hated him to the core. It turned out that he was the Niu Er who had infiltrated Tempest Tavern as a spy! 'No wonder!'
Cheng Aofang and the others were shocked. Miao Yi was the Niu Er who had infiltrated Tempest Tavern and caused a ruckus in the cultivation realm? 'How … how is this possible?'
Yue Tianbo lowered his gaze. 'As expected, they've recognized him.
'What's going on?' Ba Jie clasped his hands together, his eyes flashing. 'Big Brother is the legendary Niu Er? Tsk tsk, Big Brother is still as awesome as ever. Even his name is so awesome! Niu Er. What a ridiculous name! '
Miao Yi calmly replied, "You've got the wrong person."
"Haha, I've got the wrong person?" The Lady Boss chuckled. She then turned around and asked, "Carpenter, stonemason, did I get the wrong person?"
"No!" The carpenter and stonemason replied in unison, "We would recognize him even if he was reduced to ashes. It's definitely him. There's no mistaking it!" The two of them looked as though they hated Miao Yi to the core.
The Lady Boss said, "Niu Er, did you hear that?"
Miao Yi replied, "You're in cahoots with each other. There's nothing I can do if you insist on framing me."
'Niu Er?' Zong Zhen came over to listen in on the situation and transmitted his voice over to Yue Tianbo. "What's going on? Your subordinate is Niu Er? Did you arrange for someone to infiltrate Tempest Tavern? "
Yue Tianbo replied, "I didn't arrange it. He's the Venerable Lord's subordinate. He's a spy the Venerable Lord secretly arranged to infiltrate Tempest Tavern. I didn't know about it at first either. It wasn't until the Lord's side was exposed and he found out about my Fifth Earthly Branch that I realized."
Zong Zhen immediately transmitted his voice over and rebuked, "Nonsense. If you know who he is, why did you still bring him here?"
Yue Tianbo replied, "I didn't arrange for him to come here. My subordinate arranged for him to come here. I didn't think too much about it at first. I didn't expect this to happen either."
Suddenly, the South Pole Patriarch, who had appeared out of nowhere, scoffed. "So you're that Niu Er who caused trouble in my South Pole Ice Palace!" He had always suspected that Miao Yi had something to do with the Ice Flame incident.
Yue Tianbo swept a cold glare at the South Pole Patriarch. "South Pole Patriarch, what does that have to do with you? He already said he's not. Don't you think you're talking too much? "
Even though the South Pole Patriarch's cultivation was much higher than his, Miao Yi didn't have the slightest intention of being polite to the South Pole Patriarch. He didn't think much of the South Pole Patriarch at all.
The South Pole Patriarch was immediately put on the spot. He bellowed, "When my name shook the world, I didn't even know where your ancestors were! Yue Tianbo, why don't you be more polite with your words? "
Yue Tianbo calmly replied, "You've come to bully my people. Have you ever been polite to me? Don't try to show off your age. I won't fall for it. You're not qualified to put on airs in front of me! "
"You …" The South Pole Patriarch was furious. However, when he caught a glimpse of the Celestial Nation's Golden Lotus cultivators, as well as Zong Zhen, who was glaring at him coldly, he swallowed back the words he was about to say. His face flushed red with anger. He had no choice. He wasn't as powerful as them. If he really angered them, they could raze his South Pole Ice Palace to the ground.
"Haha! Who dares to speak so arrogantly? Don't you know how to respect your elders at all? Come, step aside. Let us have a look. "A sinister laughter came from behind the crowd.
The crowd was forcefully pushed aside by a group of intruders. Many people gasped in shock. The nine Supreme Yao Kings under the Sea of Constellations' Four Constellations Masters had all arrived. Thirty-six of them stood behind the South Pole Patriarch, eyeing him like hawks and wolves.
The Four Constellations Masters had attended the South Pole Patriarch's birthday banquet, but they hadn't come to the Boundless Nation's banquet. It was obvious that they were on good terms with the South Pole Patriarch. These thirty-six Supreme Yao Kings had clearly stepped forward to support the South Pole Patriarch.
The one who spoke just now was none other than Supreme Yao King Lie Huan. Dressed in a fiery-red robe, Lie Huan stood out like a sore thumb in front of the crowd. He continued to snicker, "Who dares to speak so arrogantly?! This king is here to listen! "
Yue Tianbo's pupils shrank. On the other hand, the South Pole Patriarch was overjoyed. With this group of Supreme Yao Kings backing him up, there really wasn't anything to be afraid of.
Expressionlessly, Zong Zhen stepped forward and said, "Lie Huan. Don't go looking for trouble."
The Celestial Nation's Twelve Overlords also stepped forward and stood behind Zong Zhen. Even though they didn't have as many people as the Sea of Constellations, they still had the strength to put up a fight. Anyone who could become an Overlord was no pushover. They were all famed warriors who were skilled in battle. Who was afraid of whom?!
Lie Huan's crimson brows twitched. He shook the cloak behind him, then looked up to the sky and laughed maniacally, "If you insist on putting it that way, then there's nothing I can do about it. I can only do as you wish!" He suddenly glared at Zong Zhen and said, "I'm here looking for trouble. What are you going to do about it?"
