Jade Capital Peak's Golden Hall Deacon? Jing Ji and Jing Luo looked at each other in shock. Was this for real? That Miao thief had already contacted the Overlord?
What kind of person was the Overlord? To the two of them, not to mention that they had never seen him before, they didn't even have the chance to look up to their previous master. That was one of the Twelve Great Dukes of the Celestial Nation, a truly lofty character who sat at the top of the clouds.
Yang Qing asked, "In other words, Brother Yan was by Milord's side and didn't know about this matter?"
Yan Xiu replied, "I've never heard Milord mention this before."
Hearing his words, Yang Qing was somewhat doubtful. "How many people would dare to spread rumors about Jade Capital Peak? But there's no response from Master. I'm afraid there's more to this matter. Why don't we go ask Master? "
Yan Xiu nodded, turned around and instructed a group of servants before leaving with Yang Qing.
Miao Yi had already entered the silent quarters to cultivate. When he heard that Yang Qing was looking for him, he came out again. If it was said that he trusted Yan Xiu, then he valued Yang Qing highly. One helped him take care of the miscellaneous items around him, while the other handled official business for him.
Upon appearing, Yang Qing and Yan Xiu immediately paid their respects. "Milord!"
"Sit. Have some tea!" Miao Yi called out. He flicked the hem of his robe, then sat on the main seat and asked, "What is it?"
The two of them thanked Little Auntie for the tea, but they didn't sit down. After exchanging glances, Yang Qing cupped his fists and said, "I've heard some news recently. It's rumored that Lord Jiang has officially taken on the role of Traversing Wood Palace's Advisor, as well as the Jade Capital Peak's Golden Hall Deacon …"
So it was this matter! Miao Yi chuckled. "That's true." He took out two jade discs and tossed them over to the two of them. One was the appointment decree issued by the Overlord, and the other was the appointment decree issued by Cheng Aofang.
Yang Qing and Yan Xiu were not the only ones who were stunned by his words. Even Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who were standing beside him, were shocked.
Yang Qing and Yan Xiu quickly checked the decree of appointment in their hands, then exchanged glances with each other. After they were done, they were both speechless. Although this was the first time they had seen an Overlord's seal, there was no need to doubt it. By now, Master must be a bona fide Jade Capital Peak's Golden Palace Deacon.
After Shuang Shuang returned the jade plate, Yang Qing hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why didn't you inform me of such a major event?"
Miao Yi smiled and said, "It's not like I'm getting promoted. I will still be overseeing the two halls. It's just an extra salary for no reason. It's a good thing. "
The two Chief Stewards were speechless once again. If this wasn't a promotion, then what was? Did he have to climb to the position of Palace Master to be considered a promotion? The deacon of Jade Capital Peak's golden palace! Jade Capital Peak's Golden Palace Hall was where the Palace Lord stood when discussing matters.
Yang Qing laughed bitterly. "For such an important matter, Milord should have informed us first so that we can handle it properly. With Milord's status, many things can be easily solved. There's no need to beat around the bush. At the very least, the disciples of the various sects under Milord's command will have to behave themselves."
Miao Yi smiled. That was true. Even if the sects were not within the boundaries of the two halls, Now, he was someone who could greet the other palaces, and also someone who could directly meet with the Overlord. The Hall Masters or Advisors of the various palaces all had to give him some face. He might not be able to help those who wanted to be promoted to Palace Lord, but he could still cause some trouble by badmouthing them in front of the Overlord. Even if they didn't want to curry favor with him, at least no one would be willing to offend him.
"It was I who didn't think things through." Miao Yi smiled. "Did the two of you come here to ask about this?"
"Yes!" The two of them nodded. Yang Qing then asked, "May I know what Milord plans to do from now on?"
Miao Yi asked in return. "May I know what Grand Steward has to say?"
"I dare not!" Yang Qing cupped his fists and said, "I believe that the Overlord values Milord so much, allowing Milord to hold two halls as well as the deacon of Jade Capital Peak's golden palace, is already paving the way for Milord. Once Milord's cultivation base rises, the position of Palace Lord will most likely be yours. "
These words made Qian'Er and Xue'Er's eyes shine. 'Milord will become a Palace Lord sooner or later?'
Miao Yi lightly waved his hand and said, "It's still too early to say that."
Yang Qing continued, "But with Milord's current cultivation base, this position has already reached its limit. Before Milord's cultivation base breaks through to the Purple Lotus realm, it will be impossible for you to advance any further. Thus, I believe that Milord should seek stability from now on. And with Milord's status as the deacon of Jade Capital Peak's golden palace, it is unlikely that anyone in the vicinity will dare to have any designs on the two halls. This is the cultivation environment that the Overlord has created for Milord. As long as Milord doesn't make any mistakes, the position of Palace Lord will only be a matter of time. "
With the Overlord's favor and such good conditions, conditions that no one else could even imagine, Yang Qing was truly afraid that this person would be unwilling to be left out and cause trouble everywhere.
Miao Yi nodded and said, "Regardless of whether I have this important status or not, I am already prepared to focus on my cultivation. I will have to trouble Grand Steward with regards to the matters of the two halls."
Yang Qing heaved a sigh of relief and said, "This is my duty."
After reporting some other matters in passing, Yang Qing then took his leave.
Yan Xiu was left behind. Miao Yi asked, "Yan Xiu, how is the progress of the Art of Time Immemorial's cultivation?"
Speaking of this, Yan Xiu was a little excited. "My progress is godly. Compared to my previous cultivation art, it is like the difference between the clouds and the earth."
Miao Yi asked, "Can women cultivate?"
Yan Xiu replied, "It should be possible. This cultivation art doesn't discriminate between men and women."
Miao Yi looked to his left and right and said, "Qian'Er, Xue'Er. When you get back, look for Yan Xiu and learn this cultivation art. Yao Ruoxian's cultivation art is a little slower. Put aside the matter of learning how to refine artifacts from him for now. Focus on raising your own cultivations first. I don't want the three of you to still be running around on the ground when my cultivation breaks through to the Purple Lotus realm. The two of you can ask the old demon about his intentions when you get back. If he's willing, teach him the Art of Time Immemorial as well. "
"Understood!" The three of them acknowledged the order.
Yan Xiu took his leave, while the two girls went to Yao Ruoxian's courtyard and happily informed him of his promotion.
"The title of Hall Master of two Halls, Advisor of Traversing Wood Palace, and Deacon of Jade Capital Peak's Golden Hall. The Overlord personally bestowed this title …" Yao Ruoxian was also stunned when he heard the news. After a long while, he chuckled helplessly and said, "This guy's promotion speed is really fast! He actually obtained the Overlord's favor. His future is boundless! "
He then turned to look at the two delighted girls and said, "Girls, do you know why I revealed my true identity to that brat?"
The two girls exchanged glances, thinking that their Master already knew about it. However, they still shook their heads.
Yao Ruoxian sighed and said, "That brat's rate of improvement is too fast. I can no longer suppress him. I just want him to know that I'm still of some use to him. I'm afraid he'll mistreat you two! While I'm still of some use to him, you two should nod your heads. As long as the two of you are willing, I'll go all out and find a way to make that brat marry you two. Isn't it better to be his official wife than to be a servant for the rest of your lives? "
The two girls lowered their heads. Qian'Er whispered, "Father, have you ever seen anyone marry a servant as a legal wife? We were trained by the Old Maid to serve others. Our reputation has always been tainted. If Master really does this, I'm afraid he'll become a laughing stock. Even if Master is willing to marry us, we'll only be concubines at best. Father, have you ever thought about it? One can have a large number of wives and concubines, but there are only two personal handmaidens. Even if they have more wives and concubines, their status may not be comparable to Master's personal handmaidens. From what we've heard, many people's concubines have to show some respect when they see some Master's personal handmaidens. Some Master's personal handmaidens can even decide the life and death of their wives and concubines. Father, all we lack is a status. In reality, we're no different from Master's wives and concubines. However, our status by Master's side is one of a kind. Sometimes, we can even issue decrees on Master's behalf. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we're above tens of thousands of people. Why do we sisters have to be concubines who fight for Master's favor? "
In the end, he let out a long sigh. This was how the hierarchy of the world worked. Men could have a large number of wives and concubines, but women could only be faithful to one man. Otherwise, they would be spurned by the world. The two girls were right. Most wives and concubines indeed couldn't compare to personal handmaidens. Wives and concubines would fall out of favor, but personal handmaidens were separated by a layer of status, so they wouldn't have to worry about this. Since the two girls had already thought it through so clearly, what else could he say …
After returning to the Head Steward's Manor, Yang Qing sat in silence for a long time. Qing Ju served him tea, while Qing Mei asked softly, "Master, is there any news from the Hall Master?"
Yang Qing nodded and said, "The rumors are true. The Hall Master is indeed the Deacon of Jade Capital Peak's Golden Palace. I've seen the Overlord's decree of conferment. The Hall Master has caught the Overlord's eye and has become the Overlord's focus on nurturing. With the Overlord's high regard, when the Hall Master's cultivation base improves, as long as there are no slip-ups, I'm afraid that the Hall Master's position will not be able to escape. The Hall Master understands this as well, and is preparing to concentrate on his cultivation. "
Qing Mei and Qing Ju exchanged glances, still a little incredulous. Holding the position of Hall Master of two Halls, Advisor of Wood Traversing Palace, and Deacon of Jade Capital Peak's Golden Palace — a Red Lotus First Grade cultivator actually occupied so many positions. It was obvious that the higher-ups had laid out a path for him to walk on. His future was truly limitless!
"Did I do something wrong?" Yang Qing suddenly leaned back on his chair and sighed.
Qing Ju tried asking, "What did Master do wrong?"
Yang Qing smiled bitterly and said, "The Hall Master has yet to marry. The position of his legal wife has always been empty."
The two girls were taken aback, but they immediately understood. Master was probably referring to the time when the Hall Master had proposed to him, only to be rejected.
"Things are hard to predict. Now that the Hall Master has made up his mind, if the Hall Master were to ascend to the position of Palace Lord in the future, there would be less than a hundred people in the entire Celestial Nation who would be able to achieve such an accomplishment. How many women would have such an opportunity? Did I personally destroy Weiwei's future?" Yang Qing muttered to himself.
The two girls fell silent. The Master who refused to relent was now regretting his decision when faced with such a bright future for the Hall Master.
Qing Ju was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Master, from what I can see, the relationship between the Young Mistress and the Hall Master has always been pretty good. She hasn't been influenced by Master at all."
Yang Qing's spirits lifted, and he asked, "Why do you think so?"
But at this moment, someone barged in from outside. It was none other than Qin Weiwei, dressed in a snow-white robe. Among the subordinates, she was the only one who could enter the Grand Steward's manor without being notified.
After Qin Weiwei entered and bowed, she asked, "Grand Steward, I heard that the Hall Master is also the Deacon of Jade Capital Peak's Golden Palace. Is that true?"
At this moment, three figures descended from the sky outside the mountain gates. They were none other than the Hall Master of Traversing Moon Palace's Suppressing Second Hall, Huo Lingxiao, as well as the two Advisors, Feng Zhihuan and He Yunye.
"Who are you?" The gatekeeper, Qian Zifeng, stopped them.
