How could you simply agree to something like that? No matter how much you hint at it, it would be useless! Miao Yi calmly said, "Lord Fifth, you must be joking."
If he hadn't met the Lady Boss, he might have been tempted by Fairy Hong Chen's beauty. But now that his heart belonged to someone else, and with his current power, he no longer felt anything for beauties. Every single one of the palace maids in his palace were handpicked beauties. They wouldn't be easily tempted by beauty. Not to mention, he wasn't a complicated person when it came to relationships. He had always been indifferent to it since he was young, and he didn't have any other thoughts. There was only an empty spot in his heart, and whoever came first would get to take it. He didn't have the heart to occupy too much space. If it weren't for his Little Sister, he might have considered it. After all, Fairy Hong Chen was a dream of his when he was young. Marrying her would be the fulfillment of his dream, so he didn't mind taking her as a concubine. But if it involved his Little Sister, he wouldn't do it.
"Yue Yao, go to the rear courtyard. I want to talk to him alone." Hong Chen stood up and pushed Yue Yao away, who was biting her lip. Seeing Yue Yao constantly looking back, she smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will definitely convince him."
After much persuasion, he finally managed to get Yue Yao to leave. Hong Chen returned to his seat, then chuckled and transmitted his voice over, "What? Don't tell me that our looks are not enough to enter your eyes? "
Miao Yi transmitted back, "Lord Fifth, what are you trying to do?"
Hong Chen said, "After she reunited with you, she hid in her room and cried for a few days. In the end, she almost caused trouble. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have gone to Master for help. I told her I had a way to convince you, and that was how I managed to convince her. After I brought her to the Realm Beyond Heaven, she grew up by my side. She has always talked about you since she was young, so in my opinion, her feelings for you might not be romantic. Perhaps it's because she's relying on her older brother. She just hasn't realized it yet. "
Miao Yi asked, "If Lord Fifth already knows, why did you ask me to agree?"
Hong Chen smiled. "So I told her about how you said you wanted me to be your woman back in the Western Constellations Palace. And I told her that I liked you, so she was put in a difficult position. She didn't know whether she should fight me or not. In the end, I was magnanimous and pulled her into our agreement. "
Miao Yi was confused. "What do you mean?"
Hong Chen asked, "Do you think you can fulfill the Western Constellations Palace's promise? You said that on the day you overturn the clouds and rain … you should know who the world belongs to. Do you think it's that easy to overturn the clouds and rain? Alright, even if that day comes. How many years had passed since then? Ten thousand years? Twenty thousand years? Fifty thousand years or one hundred thousand years? "
Miao Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Does Lord Fifth mean to delay?"
Hong Chen had a faint smile on his face, as if he had seen through the world of mortals. He shook his head slightly and said, "Although this girl is smart, she hasn't had much contact with the affairs of the world. She's spent most of her time cultivating. Right now, she was already stuck in a dead end. She often stared blankly into space by herself and didn't even think about cultivation anymore. If this went on, sooner or later, her master would see through her. If you forcefully reject her, who knows what kind of stupid things she'll do. I've also experienced the first awakening of love. I've also gone through a stage where I yearn for love. I've also gone against my master, so I know better than you how blind women are at this stage. It's the easiest for them to do reckless things, and it's impossible to guard against them. So, it's better to let them go than to stop them! "
Miao Yi furrowed his brows. "Let them go?"
"That's right!" Hong Chen nodded. "So what if you agree? By the time you fulfill your promise … it'll be tens of thousands of years later. Time can always change some things. The more she experiences, the more mature she will become. Everyone's way of thinking will change over time. Yue Yao will be no exception. When the time comes, all sorts of possibilities will arise. Perhaps she'll find someone she truly loves before you fulfill your promise. You, Miao Yi, might come across your own choices during this period of time. As time passes, all sorts of accidents will occur between the two of you. There's actually no guarantee that you'll fulfill a promise in the distant future. If you can exchange it for her peace of mind and prevent her from doing anything stupid right now, isn't it worth it for you to give her a verbal promise? If you truly want her best, then agree. I don't even mind. What are you afraid of? "
'So that's how it is!' Miao Yi slowly nodded. He felt that Hong Chen's words made sense and heaved a sigh of relief. He looked Hong Chen up and down and realized that she was quite pretty. He teased, "What if I really fulfill my promise and Fifth Lord is really willing to be my woman?"
Hong Chen smiled quietly. "If you really do fulfill your promise, then it'll be good for everyone. If you're still in the mood, you can come look for me. As your woman, I won't reject you. As long as everyone is happy, I don't really care about such things. "
'This woman's personality is really calm and aloof from worldly affairs. As expected, she seems to have seen through the mundane world. Mu Fanjun must have given you the wrong name!' Miao Yi thought to himself. He laughed dryly and said, "I was just joking. I was just joking."
Seeing that he was in the mood to joke, Hong Chen knew that he had agreed. She turned around and shouted, "Junior Sister, come here."
Yue Yao quickly came out from behind. Hong Chen nodded and smiled. "Miao Yi has agreed."
"Big Brother, you really agreed?" Yue Yao's eyes brightened.
"Mm!" Miao Yi nodded with a serious expression.
"You're lucky to be able to marry me and Senior Sister!" Yue Yao was instantly excited. She hugged Miao Yi and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him. As a result, her mouth twitched and she cried out, "Ouch!" Miao Yi then pulled her aside by the ear.
Hong Chen shook his head at the sight. 'She's usually a quiet and elegant woman …'
Miao Yi didn't stay for long. He still had other matters to attend to. Since Yue Tianbo had gone to the Realm Beyond Heaven's Jade Capital Peak, he took the opportunity to invite the other six Golden Palace Deacons to a banquet.
After a few turns, he exited the alleyway and boarded the black-awned boat. Then, he returned to the foot of Jade Capital Peak via the waterway. Unexpectedly, he bumped into another familiar face. His neighbor, the Hall Master of Suppressing Pain Hall, Hu Zifen.
Hu Zifen hurried out from a nearby teahouse to stop him. "Go."
"Hall Master Hu, what can I do for you?" Miao Yi was surprised. He thought to himself, 'Don't tell me she's asking for my help again? She shouldn't be this busy as a Golden Palace Deacon, right?'
Hu Zifen cupped her fists and smiled. "My colleagues from Wood Traversing Palace and Sun Traversing Palace have found a secluded place. We haven't had the chance to congratulate you on your promotion yet, so we would like to ask you to do us the honor."
Miao Yi was taken aback, but quickly understood. No wonder he hadn't seen them come to congratulate him all this time. He was just wondering why they were afraid of Cheng Aofang. They were worried that a bunch of Hall Masters would gather at his place and cause Cheng Aofang to overthink things. Hence, they decided to show themselves while Cheng Aofang was away.
'There's no need to be polite when someone comes with gifts. Let's postpone the banquet for the Golden Palace Deacons!' Miao Yi immediately nodded and said, "Then I shall accept your invitation!"
"Then shall I wait for you here at five o 'clock?" Hu Zifen asked.
"Alright!" Miao Yi agreed without hesitation.
At five o 'clock in the afternoon, Miao Yi arrived at the foot of the mountain on time. Hu Zifen was already there to welcome him. After escorting him, they took the waterway and took a boat straight to Jade Lake. Miao Yi stepped onto a flower-decorated boat on Jade Lake, welcoming the sunset. As expected, the Hall Masters from Wood Traversing Palace and Sun Traversing Palace were all present. It was clear that they had been planning this for a long time.
Everyone gathered around to congratulate Lord Miao Yi on his promotion. Needless to say, they all offered him congratulatory gifts. A group of people then clustered around the Great Hall Master Miao Yi as he sat on the highest seat. The most beautiful concubines on the flower-decorated boat accompanied him by his side.
Fine wine and delicacies, songs and dances to liven things up, and the boat sailed across Jade Lake …
The next day, Miao Yi once again invited six Golden Palace Deacons to the same boat …
After waiting in the capital city for two days, Yue Tianbo finally returned from the Realm Beyond Heaven. Someone summoned Miao Yi for an audience.
When Miao Yi arrived at the imperial garden, he happened to see a group of beauties surrounding Yue Tianbo. Yue Tianbo was lying in the arms of a beauty on an embroidered couch. There were beauties massaging his legs and shoulders, beauties playing the zither and singing for him to enjoy, beauties whispering to each other, and beauties playing chess beside him. Each of them had their own charm, and all of them seemed to be vying for Yue Tianbo's favor. On the other hand, the two Aunties standing on either side of the couch were completely unfazed.
Miao Yi had seen most of these beauties before. They were none other than Yue Tianbo's concubines. Miao Yi muttered to himself, 'This man sure knows how to enjoy life. He has so many concubines just to please me.'
Miao Yi stood a short distance away from the scene. It wasn't convenient for him to go over.
Seeing Miao Yi arrive, Eldest Aunt Chang Huan, who had retracted her hands from her abdomen, bowed slightly and said, "Overlord, Deacon Miao is here."
Yue Tianbo, who was lying in the beauty's arms, looked over and smiled. He then sat up and waved his hand at the concubines, saying, "You may all leave!"
The group of concubines immediately excused themselves and passed by Miao Yi one after another. Miao Yi could only stand to the side and cup his fists to send them off.
"Come here!" Yue Tianbo stood up and beckoned Miao Yi over.
Miao Yi quickly stepped forward to greet him. Yue Tianbo smiled and asked, "You've seen all of my concubines before. How do they look?"
"They are all peerless beauties," Miao Yi complimented.
Yue Tianbo chuckled and didn't comment. He walked forward with his hands behind his back and asked Miao Yi, "Do you know why I've summoned you?"
Miao Yi shook his head. "I do not know."
Yue Tianbo walked over to the chessboard where the concubines had played earlier and sat down. He asked, "Do you know how to play chess?"
Speaking of chess, Miao Yi's spirits were lifted. He didn't dare boast about other things, but when it came to this … he immediately replied humbly, "I rarely lose!"
"Oh!" Yue Tianbo's interest was immediately piqued. He extended his hand and said, "Come, play a few games with me."
"Understood!" Miao Yi cupped his fists and sat down across from him.
Beside him, Chang Huan and Chang Le immediately came forward to clean up the chessboard. Yue Tianbo placed his piece down and said, "Before the handover of the annual tribute, Ouyang Guang came to me and asked for you to be transferred to the First Earthly Branch."
Miao Yi, who had just lifted his spirits after grabbing a piece, was startled. After placing his piece down, he asked, "Did the Overlord agree?"
Yue Tianbo smiled. "Of course not. However, the Realm Beyond Heaven's Second Master came to me later to ask for you."
Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief, then asked in surprise, "Second Master? What does Second Master want me to do? "
Yue Tianbo looked at him with a teasing expression. "Naturally, he wants you to be transferred to the First Earthly Branch as well! Most people are unaware of the relationship between Ouyang Guang and Second Master. After all, no one would dare to bring up the Second Master's matter. It's not surprising that you don't know about it. If you did, I doubt you would have been so bold back then. "
Miao Yi was startled. He placed his piece down and asked, "I really don't know about the relationship between Ouyang Guang and Second Master. I hope the Overlord can enlighten me."
