"It's my honor to be friends with the Supreme Yao Lord!" Miao Yi smiled happily.
Lie Huan chuckled. "It won't affect your future, will it?"
"Uh …" Miao Yi quickly waved his hands and laughed dryly. "No, no. It's fine as long as I don't tell anyone."
Lie Huan chuckled again. "Don't worry. I've already forgotten about you causing trouble in my Supreme Fire Palace."
"That's good. Uh …" Lord Hall Master Miao's pupils dilated. He was completely dumbfounded as he stared at the other party.
Seeing his reaction, Lie Huan abruptly made his move. It was so fast that Miao Yi couldn't dodge even if he wanted to. Lie Huan grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up. Lie Huan's eyes instantly revealed a vicious glint. "I knew something was wrong. It really is you. How dare you cause trouble in my personal quarters!"
Miao Yi, whose face and neck were now red from the grip, was immediately shocked. He had been tricked. The other party couldn't be sure at all. It was all a bluff just now, and he had fallen for this old demon's trick. He slowly raised his hand, and Fu Qing's token appeared in his hand once more. He tapped it on Lie Huan's arm, unable to say anything. In any case, he showed it to Lie Huan.
Lie Huan's lips twitched. He could impersonate a person, but not Fu Qing's token. With a shake of his hand, he tossed Miao Yi away.
Bang! Miao Yi crashed into the rotating wall. He rubbed his neck and coughed a few times, almost losing his breath.
"I can't believe there are two Yan Beihong with the same name. You're quite something, brat. I can't believe you can come up with such a lie so easily. Yan Beihong, do you take me for a fool?!" Lie Huan sneered.
Miao Yi adjusted his breathing, then asked, "Since the Supreme Yao Lord had already sensed that something was wrong, why did you only reveal it now?"
Lie Huan scoffed. "At first, I was fooled by you. Then, when I asked where you were working, you kept stalling. At that point, I realized something was wrong. However, it just so happened that we were working together to dig a hole, so I didn't mention it for the time being. You're very cunning. I'm not as quick-witted as you are. If I don't think of a way to make you lower your guard, I won't be able to get anything out of you even if I wanted to. Isn't half of the Exquisite Pagoda hard to take? "
This old monster actually pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger. He actually used half of the treasures of the Linglong Tower to make me lower my guard. Miao Yi rubbed his neck and asked, "Could it be that the Yao King wants to take back the other half of the treasures?"
"What do you think? If not for the sake of Lord Fu Qing, I would have taken your life just now. You still want a share of the spoils? "As Lie Huan said this, he extended his hand and said," Hand over everything that was inside! "
"Hehe!" Miao Yi shook his head and smiled. He had worked so hard for half a day, but it seemed like he was just helping someone else with their wedding clothes. He had a strange feeling in his heart before this. The two of them had only just met, yet this old demon was already willing to share half of it with him … It was just that he had been deceived by this old demon's honesty earlier on. He had thought that this old demon was honest and kind, but it turned out that he was the one who was the funniest! Sui gave Lie Huan a thumbs up and said, "Yao King, you sure are something!"
Lie Huan crooked his finger and said, "Cut the crap. Hand it over!"
"There's no hurry!" Miao Yi smiled and asked, "Yao King, I still have a question. Since you already had your suspicions, why didn't you stop me when I wanted to go back inside?"
Lie Huan narrowed his eyes and said disdainfully, "Do you think I'm stupid?! Even I don't dare to go back inside. Do you think you'd dare to go back with your meager cultivation? "
Miao Yi's heart was bleeding. After playing around for so long, he still didn't know who was the one playing. He chuckled and said, "Once something is in my pocket, there's no way I'll take it out."
Lie Huan scoffed, "Do you want me to do it myself? If I do it myself, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer! "
Miao Yi retorted, "Do you know why Lord Fu Qing gave me the token? Do you know the consequences of making a move on me? "
Lie Huan replied, "I'm all ears!"
"There's no use even if you're all ears. I won't tell you this. If you want to know, you can go look for Lord Fu Qing. If Lord Fu Qing is willing to tell you, you will naturally find out. If he isn't, then there's no point in asking. In any case, I won't reveal anything to you!"
"Are you messing with me?" Lie Huan's expression darkened.
Miao Yi didn't answer his question and asked, "Yao King, are you sure that I'm Yan Beihong?"
Lie Huan scoffed, "You're still trying to fool me?"
Miao Yi asked, "What if I can prove that I'm not Yan Beihong?"
Lie Huan replied, "Don't you dare tell me that your real name is Niu Er."
Miao Yi said, "Let's make a bet! If I can prove that I'm not Yan Beihong, then you can forget about getting half of my belongings. You'll have to give me your half instead. If I can't prove that I'm not Yan Beihong, then not only will I give you half of my belongings, I'll also help you break this Exquisite Pagoda. "
Lie Huan asked in surprise, "You're confident that you can break this Exquisite Pagoda?"
Miao Yi calmly smiled and said, "Just because it's difficult for you doesn't mean it's difficult for me. If I want to break this Exquisite Pagoda, it'll be a piece of cake. Let me ask you, if I don't even have this much ability, why would Lord Fu Qing give me his token? Do you think I'm holding onto this token for fun? "
Lie Huan was immediately bewildered. He asked, "What did Lord Fu Qing ask you to do?"
"That's your own guess. I didn't say anything. I'll say it again. Lord Fu Qing didn't ask me to do anything. If you don't believe me or have any doubts, you can ask Lord Fu Qing yourself. " Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about useless stuff now. Let's talk about the bet. Are you going to take it or not?"
"Are you really not Yan Beihong?" Lie Huan tried asking.
"I already said I'm not."
"Then who are you?"
"I'll tell you after you agree to the bet."
Lie Huan was very conflicted! Judging from the other party's expression, he seemed very confident. What kind of bet was this! Lie Huan found it strange and asked, "Since you're confident that you can break this Exquisite Pagoda, why do you still want to surrender?"
Miao Yi said, "Is it the same reason why I don't let outsiders know that I have Lord Fu Qing's token? I forgot to add one more thing. If I help you break this Exquisite Pagoda, you have to say that you broke it when you get out, and that it has nothing to do with me. Otherwise, Lord Fu Qing will never forgive you! "
Lie Huan was speechless. 'This bastard and Lord Fu Qing are acting so secretively. Just what are they up to in the dark?!' Suddenly, a vicious glint flashed across his eyes as he threatened, "Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word and kill you while you're breaking the Exquisite Pagoda? Then I'll take your belongings for myself!"
Miao Yi calmly said, "Let me remind you again. There was originally no need for me to come here. Someone in the Sea of Constellations was worried that something would happen to you, so they secretly informed me to come here and lend you a hand. That's why I, a Red Lotus cultivator, came here. Because if I don't help you, you won't be able to leave even if you admit defeat. But if you manage to break this pagoda and get out, then I'll be the one who helped you. Considering this, you can consider the consequences of killing me. I guarantee that you won't live for long either! "
Lie Huan felt a headache coming on. He asked again, "What exactly is your relationship with the Sea of Constellations?"
Miao Yi slowly shook his head and said, "Nothing at all!"
'Bullshit! If there's nothing at all, then what do you mean someone in the Sea of Constellations told you to come help me? If there's nothing at all, then how can you possibly have Lord Fu Qing's token? ' Lie Huan cursed in his heart. His expression twitched as he said, "Since you're here to help me get out, then I won't ask who you are anymore. We'll split the items in the pagoda evenly. You take yours, and I'll take mine. Let's not talk about gambling either. Hurry up and break this Exquisite Pagoda!"
Lie Huan wanted to see if this guy could really break the Exquisite Pagoda so easily. If he really had the ability, then this guy's words must be true. Otherwise, there was no need for him to drag Lie Huan into surrendering just because he had the ability to break the pagoda.
Miao Yi could guess that Lie Huan wanted to verify his suspicions. Miao Yi didn't dare to stay here any longer. In a battle of wits and brawn like this, it would be easy for him to expose himself. The sooner he got out and returned to the Celestial Nation's camp, the sooner this old monster would be able to do anything to him even if he discovered something.
Miao Yi stretched out his palm, and fifteen strange mantises the size of dogs immediately flew out from his storage ring. Lie Huan was taken aback by the sight. 'What are these things?'
Under Miao Yi's will, the fifteen mantises immediately attached themselves to the rotating wall and gathered in one area. They began to brandish their claws and open their mouths, digging and gnawing away at the wall. Immediately, glittering metal dust fell to the ground, and deep scratches began to appear on the seemingly indestructible wall.
Lie Huan sucked in a breath of cold air. He was completely dumbfounded. 'My god, what kind of monster is this? Even I can't do anything to a high-purity Crystalline Gold transcendent artifact, yet these mantises are chewing on it like it's a sugar cane. Are you kidding me?'
Normally, he might have coveted these mantises. However, at this moment, he turned to look at Miao Yi. He felt that Miao Yi was shrouded in mystery, and he was completely convinced now. As expected, this guy had come here specifically to help him get out.
"Niu Er, what are these mantises? Why have I never seen or heard of them before? "Lie Huan let out a dry cough and asked awkwardly.
Miao Yi knew Lie Huan was going to ask. He tilted his head and coldly stared at Lie Huan, saying, "Yao Lord, since some things are already out in the open, I might as well warn you again. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Keep what you saw today to yourself, and don't mention it to anyone else. It's best if you pretend you don't know anything. When the time comes for you to know, you will naturally know everything."
Lie Huan was speechless. Despite his Golden Lotus cultivation, Miao Yi had managed to make him lose his temper. He grunted through his nose, indicating that he understood, and didn't say anything else.
It had to be said that these mantises the size of dogs were indeed powerful. They were far superior to the tiny mantises from before. Just as Yao Ruoxian had said, they were the natural enemy of transcendent artifacts. Their destructive power was truly astonishing, and the more Lie Huan looked at them, the more apprehensive he became. He sucked in a breath of cold air.
It didn't take long for a 'bowl' to appear on the rotating wall. At this moment, Miao Yi said, "Yao King, go and take a look. When you're able to pierce through it, let me know so I can collect them."
Lie Huan asked curiously, "Why don't you just let them bite through it?"
Miao Yi sighed, "I already told you that I don't want to expose anything. If you hadn't forced me to, I wouldn't have told you those things I shouldn't have. I'm collecting them because I don't want to expose myself. Do you still not understand?"
