Wu Menglan asked, "Do you think it's appropriate for me to go to the Palace Master and say 'I want to leave, so please let me go'?"
Miao Yi pondered for a moment and agreed that it was indeed inappropriate. If the Manor Heads below him came to him and told him that he was no longer working here and was going somewhere else, he probably wouldn't be happy about it. He nodded at Zhao Fei and said, "Go look for Tao Qingli and ask her to look for Zhang Tianxiao. It's only appropriate for the Palace Master to speak to the Palace Master personally. How can I, a Hall Master, speak to the Palace Master?"
Zhao Fei said, "It's not like you don't know about Palace Lord Tao's situation. Right now, she's just a vassal of Traversing Wood Palace. How many Palace Lords would think that she's on equal footing with them? In the eyes of those Palace Lords, her status in Traversing Wood Palace is probably even lower than yours. Her relationship with the Traversing Moon Palace's Palace Lord isn't good enough for her to ask for a Palace Lord subordinate to her. If she fails to do so, it'll only embarrass her instead."
Miao Yi sighed, "Aren't you afraid that I'll be embarrassed if I don't succeed?! My relationship with the Traversing Moon Palace's Palace Lord isn't good enough for me to want her as my subordinate Palace Lord! "
Zhao Fei said, "You're still a deacon of the Golden Palace. Even if he doesn't agree, he'll still have to give the Overlord some face and not make things too difficult for you."
Wu Menglan continued, "Doesn't your sworn brother want to get close to you?"
Since you have the nerve to mention Huo Lingxiao in front of Zhao Fei, what else do I have to say? Miao Yi was speechless. He smiled bitterly and said, "Then I will try my best. Don't blame me if I fail. Zhao Fei, you know the situation at Traversing Water Palace as well. If Wu Menglan becomes the Hall Master there, her benefits will be halved! Is it worth it? "
Zhao Fei replied, "I'll just make up for the fact that I'm in charge of two Halls like you. I still have some face in the Traversing Water Palace. I can't speak up for myself, but I won't let Menglan suffer any losses either!"
As soon as he said this, Wu Menglan's eyes rippled. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and sweetness, filled with happiness after being nourished by love. It seemed like she had truly found a sense of belonging.
Miao Yi thought about it and agreed with Zhao Fei's reasoning. It wouldn't be a problem for Zhao Fei to handle this matter in Traversing Water Palace. If worse came to worst, he could still take down two halls for Wu Menglan. Sighing, he said, "I can't guarantee success."
Zhao Fei suddenly asked, "How is your relationship with Cheng Aofang?"
"It's alright …" Miao Yi instantly understood what the other party meant.
Sure enough, Zhao Fei said, "If it really doesn't work, see if you can convince Cheng Aofang to step in. Cheng Aofang had a higher chance of asking Zhang Tianxiao for the man. We can also transfer Menglan to Traversing Wood Palace. It's close to Traversing Water Palace, so it'll be much easier for us to meet up there than if she stayed in Traversing Moon Palace. Most importantly, you're protecting the Wood Traversing Palace, so no one will dare to touch her. I'm a little worried about leaving her alone at Traversing Moon Palace. "
"You sure are thoughtful. You have the beauty in your arms, yet you want me to run errands for you. You sure have a conscience." Miao Yi scoffed. He picked up his teacup and gulped it down.
Zhao Fei transmitted his voice to Wu Menglan. The two of them stood side by side, cupped their fists and bowed, "Please!"
Miao Yi waved his hand and ignored the two of them for now. He then pointed at Tan Lao and Ye Xin and asked, "What do you two want now? Don't tell me you want to go to Traversing Water Palace too. "
Tan Lao chuckled. However, there was a hint of hesitation in his smile. "We've never thought of running errands. It's just that it's not easy to explain to our sect. That's why I hope Brother Miao can do us a favor. Help us ask the Beast Taming School and Jade Lady Sect to make an exception. After all, you're a Golden Hall Deacon. If you ask for it, the two sects won't be able to refuse."
"Hehe!" Miao Yi let out a strange laugh. "Sure! You didn't care about the consequences when you took their female disciple to bed. Now that you've sobered up, do you know what fear is? "
Tan Lao laughed dryly. Ye Xin was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole. However, there was a hint of tenderness in her shy gaze as she looked at Tan Lao, as though she was already prepared to share his hardships.
Seeing this, Miao Yi sighed inwardly. It seemed Tan Lao had gotten his way. He had conquered this woman in a single night. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Gu Sanzheng. It wasn't that he was biased towards anyone. After all, they were all friends. It wasn't appropriate for him to be biased towards anyone when both parties were willing. However … he could only sigh.
Tan Lao could be said to have followed suit. He pulled Ye Xin along as well, and the two of them stood side by side. They cupped their fists and bowed, saying, "Brother Miao. I'll leave this to you."
Miao Yi put down his teacup and sighed, "You three major sects are not to be trifled with! I'm sure you're aware of the conflict I had with your three major sects in the past. Back then, I almost lost my position. If they really want to teach you a lesson, I'm afraid you won't have an easy time. In any case, I'll do my best. I hope Zhuge Qing and Ma Wanzhang will give me some face! "
Even though there were pros and cons in certain situations, now that he thought about it, perhaps Gu Sanzheng's decision was the most rational and rational one. It wasn't easy for two sects to raise their disciples to the Red Lotus realm when they were in conflict of interest. They would have to invest a lot of resources into it. Of the many disciples in the two sects, how many of them would be able to stand out and receive the support of so many resources? It would be fine if it didn't involve the conflict of interest between the two sects. However, it did, and the two of them were still acting in such a manner. It wasn't hard to imagine how furious the two sects would be once they found out about this. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had official backing, the two sects might have already executed them as a warning to others. Otherwise, how bad would it be if everyone did whatever they wanted? This was already a threat to the very foundation of the sects!
However, Miao Yi was quite impressed with Tan Lao. He clearly knew that he would be in big trouble, yet he still dared to bring Ye Xin back to sleep with him. He really had guts. On the other hand, Gu Sanzheng was a little too rational in this matter.
"That's enough. Governor Lan still has an errand for me. I still have to wait for the Overlord to return from the Realm Beyond Heaven before I can return. Once I get back, I'll immediately deal with your matters." Miao Yi cupped his fists to send them off.
Hearing that he had an errand to attend to, the four of them didn't continue to disturb him and took their leave.
"These guys. They're already enjoying themselves, yet they want me to clean up after them. What the hell is this?" Miao Yi turned to Lin Pingping and sighed.
Lin Pingping flattered, "This means that Milord is more capable than them."
"Don't bother with flattery. I'm getting a little tired of it lately. Help me see where this place is." Miao Yi handed her the jade disk Lan Hou gave him.
Lin Pingping looked at the address on the jade disk and nodded. She pointed in a general direction and explained.
Miao Yi wasn't familiar with the capital city. It was such a huge city, so even if he explained it to her, she would still be confused. Lan Hou also told him to keep it a secret, so it wasn't convenient for him to ask anyone else. In the end, he decided to bring her along.
The two of them descended Jade Capital Peak, rented a fast boat with a black awning, and hid within it as they traveled by water.
An hour later, they arrived at the waterway near their destination. Lin Pingping explained in detail how to get there. Miao Yi warned her to wait here, then went ashore alone.
Following Lin Pingping's instructions, Miao Yi turned into a secluded alleyway and arrived at the back door of a house. He knocked on the door, but no one answered. In the end, he looked to his left and right, then placed his hand on the door and invoked his arts to unlock it. He entered the house, then quickly closed the door behind him.
The place he barged into was the backyard of a house. It looked like the residence of a small, wealthy family. The backyard was decorated in an antique style. There was a well, and potted plants were arranged in picturesque disorder. There were also a few fruit trees, and the place was quiet and secluded.
"Is anyone there?" Miao Yi called out as he walked, then cautiously walked into the front hall.
No one answered him. Just as he was feeling suspicious, something suddenly flew towards him from the side of the house. Even without looking, Miao Yi could tell that it was the silhouette of a peach from the sound of the object flying towards him. He raised his hand and caught it. Turning his head to look, he saw an outrageously beautiful young master dressed in white jumping out with a grin on his face.
Miao Yi rolled his eyes. The peach wiped its mouth and took a bite, then asked, "Why are you here?"
That young master dressed in white was none other than the old Fairy March Yao.
"Big Brother!" Yue Yao skipped over happily like a little girl. She ran behind him and jumped up. Her legs clamped around his waist, and she wrapped her arms around his neck as she rode on top of him.
"Little Sister, how shameless can you be? How old are you?" Miao Yi scolded. Smack! He slapped her hard on her thigh. He truly felt that this little girl's actions were too outrageous.
Yue Yao jumped down from the pain and rubbed her thigh. She said pitifully, "Big Brother, you don't have any tender feelings for the fairer sex."
"Cut it out. Who do you think you are? I won't fall for it. "Miao Yi gave her a sidelong glance." Speak. Why are you looking for me? "
Yue Yao grabbed his wrist and snatched the peach from his hand. She didn't care that he had just taken a bite of the peach. She turned around and ran to the side of the house, then quickly dragged another person out. It was a young master dressed in embroidered robes. He was just as beautiful as Yue Yao's Senior Sister, Fairy Hong Chen.
"Uhh …" Miao Yi was taken aback. He quickly cupped his fists and bowed. "Greetings, Lord Fifth."
Hong Chen smiled. "No need for formalities! We were just in the middle of clearing up the Chamber of Commerce's assets in the Fifth Earthly Branch when we heard that you had come to the capital city. My Junior Sister wanted to see you, and it has been many years since we last met in the Western Constellations Palace. She wanted to see you as well, so she asked Lan Hou to give you an address. "
Miao Yi replied with an "Oh." However, he glared coldly at Yue Yao. This Little Sister of his had a loose tongue. How could she tell someone else about their reunion? Didn't she know how much trouble it would bring upon them if word got out?
Hong Chen could tell what he was thinking. She smiled and said, "You don't have to think too much about it. Yue Yao and I are like sisters. I wouldn't do anything to hurt her." She gestured for Miao Yi to sit down.
After the two of them took their seats in the main hall, Yue Yao leaned on Miao Yi's chair and clicked her tongue. "Big Brother, I heard from Senior Sister that you once made a bold statement in the Western Constellations Palace. You wanted Senior Sister to be your woman?"
Miao Yi looked at Hong Chen in astonishment. He realized that these two women really had nothing to hide. Fairy Hong Chen had even told her Little Sister something like that. Miao Yi pushed his Little Sister's head away from his ear and said awkwardly, "It was just something I said in a moment of desperation. You can't take it seriously."
Fairy Hong Chen, on the other hand, was quite frank. She smiled and said, "It's nothing that can't be taken seriously. It's fine even if I say it out loud. There's no need to feel awkward about it. Since I've already agreed to it, I won't go back on my word. I still stand by what I said. When you truly have the ability to protect Yue Yao, that means you'll be able to do the same for me. So what if I become your woman? However, I still stand by what I said. Before you have the ability, you better take care of yourself and keep an appropriate distance from Yue Yao. "
Miao Yi was speechless. Meanwhile, Yue Yao had come over again. She tugged at his arm and said shyly, "Big Brother, look at me. I'm quite pretty too. When the time comes, Senior Sister and I will marry you together. What do you think? A pair of immortals. You'll have one in each hand. You'll be so happy. "
'What kind of nonsense is this?! ' Miao Yi immediately glared at her. Unexpectedly, Fairy Hong Chen smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. I think it's pretty good too."
