"…" The speechless Great Hall Master Miao felt a little dazed. He felt as if his soul had left his body.
Chang Huan and Chang Le pursed their lips, holding back their laughter as they watched Miao Yi's reaction.
Yue Tianbo raised an eyebrow, a malicious glint in his eyes. He tapped the chess piece in his hand, "Deacon Miao, why haven't you made your move yet?"
Miao Yi snapped out of his daze and casually placed his chess piece down. There was an indescribable expression on his face, as though he was still in disbelief. He tried asking again, "Overlord, are you saying that Second Master and Ou Yangguang are husband and wife?"
Yue Tianbo made his move and said, "The twin sisters you defiled are the daughters of the Second Master."
Miao Yi felt a little dizzy. He asked fearfully, "The Overlord agreed to hand me over to Second Master?"
Yue Tianbo said, "What do you think?"
If I knew, why would I ask you? Did he sell me out by deliberately keeping me here to talk about this? Miao Yi sincerely said, "Overlord, if I go to the First Earthly Branch, I will definitely die!" He really didn't want to go.
Yue Tianbo nodded. "That's why I didn't agree to Second Master's request."
Miao Yi's eyes instantly brightened. He beat around the bush and asked, "Then wouldn't the Overlord have offended the Second Master?"
Yue Tianbo harrumphed coldly. "Deacon Miao, you have to remember one thing. In the entire Celestial Nation, I only obey the Venerable Saint's orders. As long as I abide by this rule, no one can do anything to me. I respect those lords because I'm giving the Venerable Saint face … It's not a good thing to get too close to them. Is there a need for me to be afraid of them?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Miao Yi hurriedly praised, "The Overlord is wise! The Overlord is wise! "
"There's no need to flatter me. The matters of the Realm Beyond Heaven shouldn't be discussed by us lowly people. However, since Second Master has come to me, I have no choice but to ask about it. This is also the reason why I asked you to stay." Yue Tianbo put down a chess piece and asked calmly, "Miao Yi. You mentioned at the Artifact Appraisal Conference that you had an affair with Ou Yangguang's daughter. Is that true?"
Miao Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Overlord Envoy, I was just spouting nonsense. Overlord Envoy Ouyang has really gone too far. That was why I had no choice but to retaliate. "
Yue Tianbo narrowed his eyes and glared at Miao Yi coldly. "Miao Yi. Do you know the consequences of lying to me?"
"The Overlord. I'm not lying to you. I don't even know the name of Ou Yangguang's daughter. " Miao Yi immediately made a solemn vow. Right now, he would never admit it even if he was beaten to death. Even if the Second Master came personally and held a knife to his neck. He wouldn't admit it either. Would he admit that the twin sisters raped him? If this matter were to spread out, it would ruin the other party's reputation, and he would definitely die miserably.
He placed a chess piece here, and Changle immediately reached out to pick up a piece of Yue Tianbo's lifeless chess piece.
The corner of Yue Tianbo's mouth twitched as he stared at the chessboard. "Really?"
Miao Yi immediately raised his hand and swore, "I swear to the heavens that I still do not know the names of Overlord Envoy Ouyang's daughters. I only found out that the twin sisters were Overlord Envoy Ouyang's daughters during the Artifact Appraisal Conference. If there is even a single lie in my words, then may I suffer the wrath of heaven and die a horrible death!"
Seeing him swear such a heavy oath. Yue Tianbo furrowed his brows, but he believed him. He didn't say another word and focused on his chess piece. The situation on the chessboard was truly not looking good for him. It was difficult for him to defend against Miao Yi's unpredictable moves.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi's gaze was no longer focused. All he knew was that whenever his opponent placed a chess piece, he would follow suit. His heart was filled with bitterness, and his intestines were green with regret. 'Why did I say those words to harm others and myself back then? Now I'm in for it!'
Even though Yue Tianbo's words were pleasant to hear, he was no fool. Now that Huyan Taibao had fallen from power, the Second Master was second only to one person in the Realm Beyond Heaven. Aside from Mu Fanjun, no one else in the entire Celestial Nation could compare to the Second Master. There were plenty of ways for him to deal with Miao Yi!
However, it wasn't really possible to deal with him openly. Rules were rules. Huyan Taibao's fall had a lot to do with him breaking the rules. What he was afraid of was beating around the bush. There were plenty of ways for the Second Master to deal with him.
Miao Yi's mind was a mess.
"Deacon Miao, you really don't give me any face at all!" Yue Tianbo suddenly let out a half-smile.
Miao Yi snapped out of his daze and asked in surprise, "Your humble servant is afraid. May I ask why the Overlord would say such a thing?"
The corner of Yue Tianbo's mouth twitched as he looked at the chessboard. The situation was a little too horrible to look at. He had lost terribly. He had always thought that his Go skills were decent, but Miao Yi still managed to beat him to the point where he couldn't even put up a fight. This was the first time in his life that he had met an opponent with such superb Go skills. Miao Yi's moves were unpredictable, and there was no pattern to them at all. At first, it seemed like a foolish move, but later on, one would realize that it was a brilliant move that could make one break out in a cold sweat.
Chang Huan and Chang Le looked at Miao Yi with respect. They had seen the Overlord play with his subordinates before, and they had also seen him play with other Overlords. They had even seen the Overlord play against the Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun. However, this was the first time they had seen the Overlord lose so badly. After watching from the sidelines for a long time, the two of them were also amazed by Miao Yi's Go skills. It was simply unfathomable!
"Deacon Miao, you said that you rarely lose. I've learned a thing or two!" Yue Tianbo stood up and said, "No, I admit defeat. I admit that I am no match for you."
"…" Miao Yi was completely speechless as his gaze fell upon the chessboard. Yue Tianbo had lost, and he had lost terribly at that.
Miao Yi already knew that his Go skills were superb, but this was simply too disrespectful to the Overlord. How could he possibly win? He quickly stood up and cupped his fists in fear. "Your humble servant was distracted for a moment and wasn't serious. I hope the Overlord will stay and play another round."
Yue Tianbo gritted his teeth at these words. He had already noticed that Miao Yi was a little absent-minded. He was probably affected by the Second Master's matter, so he didn't take it to heart.
'But you didn't have to say it out loud either. If you could get this far while you were distracted, what would happen if you were focused? How could I endure such words?!'
Yue Tianbo knew that Miao Yi wanted him to play another round and let him win. However, at this point, no matter how thick-skinned Yue Tianbo was, he wouldn't continue. 'You're openly going easy on me. Even if I win, it'll be a joke!'
Miao Yi also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed his words. "Your humble servant knows that the Overlord is intentionally going easy on me. I beg the Overlord …"
"Enough!" Yue Tianbo cut him off. He was both annoyed and amused at the same time. "It's just a game of Go. I can still afford to lose. When it comes to Go, the Realm Beyond Heaven's Second Master is extremely skilled. I've lost to her many times. If there's a chance in the future, you must help me vent my anger! "
"…" Miao Yi's expression froze. As expected, he couldn't afford to offend the Second Master. He knew that the Second Master was going to cause trouble for him, yet he still purposely sent him forward. This was clearly revenge!
Yue Tianbo saw his reaction and knew that he had misunderstood. He added, "I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. I don't mean anything else. If there's a chance in the future, I will indeed send you out. That way, the Second Master will know that the Fifth Earthly Branch is not without talents!"
"Understood!" Miao Yi accepted the order with a forced expression.
"Alright! That's enough. Go back to your territory. "Yue Tianbo waved his hand, then turned around and left with the two ladies.
After respectfully sending the Overlord off, Miao Yi looked at the chessboard and sighed. "Playing Go is a waste of time!"
However, he had finally obtained some useful information. He had to be wary of that Second Master.
After returning to his residence halfway up the mountain, Miao Yi ordered Lin Pingping to invite Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan over. He was going to Traversing Moon Palace to look for Zhang Tianxiao and see if he could resolve the issue of Wu Menglan's transfer.
Gu Sanzheng arrived right after Lin Pingping left. Miao Yi smiled and asked, "You haven't left yet?"
Gu Sanzheng was still as stern as ever. "I was ordered by my sect to pay a visit and was just about to leave. I heard that you haven't left yet, so I came to bid farewell."
"I'm preparing to leave as well." Miao Yi paused for a moment. In the end, he couldn't help but mention, "Ye Xin and Tan Lao are together now."
Gu Sanzheng nodded calmly. "I already know. I went to congratulate them yesterday. I also warned them that their sects will not let them off easily. They said that they've already asked you to plead on their behalf. "
Miao Yi nodded in acknowledgment. However, that wasn't what he was concerned about. He asked, "If I can plead on their behalf, then I can naturally plead on your behalf as well if Ye Xin ends up with you. Don't you regret it at all?"
Gu Sanzheng fell silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Everyone has their own choices to make. Since I've already made my decision, there's nothing to regret! From the Sect Master to my master, everyone in the Sword Deviate Sect says that I am the most outstanding disciple of my generation. They've invested a huge amount of cultivation resources into me. Throughout every stage of my cultivation, the sect has always provided me with the best resources. Meanwhile, many of my fellow brothers and sisters are still struggling at the White Lotus realm, staring at me with wide eyes. Now, the Sword Deviate Sect is pouring the entire sect's resources into forging a full set of top-notch Third Grade Flying Thunderclap Swords for me. The entire sect is doing everything they can to pave the way for me. I can't let them down! "
Miao Yi shook his head. Since the other party had put it this way, there was nothing else he could say.
"Farewell!" Gu Sanzheng cupped his fists, then resolutely turned around and left. He didn't seem to be affected by Ye Xin's matter at all. His footsteps were still steady, and his posture was still tall and straight. However, Miao Yi could still clearly remember how this guy, who had always had a strong sense of self-control, welcomed everyone at the banquet that night, and drank to his heart's content without stopping...
After Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan arrived, Miao Yi asked Lin Pingping to send a message to Uncle Hua of the Chamber of Commerce on his behalf. Putting everything else aside, it would be good for Lin Pingping to have more connections here. After that, he flew out of the capital city with Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan.
After a long flight, the three of them arrived at Traversing Moon Palace. Not too far away from the palace, Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan landed on a mountain peak and waited for Miao Yi's news. Wu Menglan wouldn't be able to do anything about leaving Traversing Moon Palace.
Miao Yi landed at the mountain gates of Traversing Moon Palace. After obtaining permission, he went to Zhang Tianxiao's harem.
As usual, Zhang Tianxiao was lying lazily in the cold and cheerless palace, inhaling the wisps of green smoke rising from the incense burner. Four handsome male attendants stood by her side.
"Greetings, Sister-in-law!" Miao Yi stepped forward and bowed.
"Deacon Miao. How thoughtful of you. You've come to visit me again this year." Zhang Tianxiao chuckled as she lay on the bed, her clothes exposed. She lazily got up and waved her hand. "Take a seat!"
