Now that Zhao Fei was done, Miao Yi and Sikong Wuwei took their leave.
Suppressing Geng Hall. The snow on the steep cliffs had yet to melt. Amidst the cold wind, Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan stood side by side and cupped their fists to send them off.
Sikong Wuwei had a complicated expression on his face. In order to avenge Qi Xiuhong, he, Zhao Fei, and Miao Yi had gone to Traversing Water Palace together. After experiencing all sorts of things, they had parted ways.
Truth be told, Sikong Wuwei knew full well that if he hadn't gotten together with Tao Qingli, the three of them wouldn't have been separated at all. From a different perspective, his relationship with Tao Qingli had basically blocked Miao Yi and Zhao Fei's future. The two of them would have to leave sooner or later.
Sikong Wuwei was both happy and sad that the two of them could go their separate ways. He was sad that Miao Yi had to leave with a bad reputation, and that Zhao Fei had to suffer because of him … It wasn't that he didn't have a good impression of Wu Menglan, but that this was how the world was. Zhao Fei's decision to marry an unchaste Wu Menglan had left him with a knot in his heart. He didn't know if it was because of him, Sikong Wuwei.
"When are you getting married? We can't miss out on the wedding banquet. "Miao Yi asked with a smile before leaving.
The couple exchanged glances, then Zhao Fei said, "I've just taken over Suppressing Geng Hall. Once the situation has stabilized, the two of you will naturally be invited to the wedding banquet. I will definitely let you know in advance."
Wu Menglan said, "The three of you fought your way out of the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade together. Now, you're the only one still single. If there's a chance, do you want me to play matchmaker for you? I know quite a few women who are quite good. "
"Don't bother. If I don't marry, then I'll definitely shock the world!" Miao Yi laughed heartily.
Wu Menglan said, "Then we'll have to wait and see."
"Haha. Farewell!" Miao Yi cupped his fists, then took to the skies. Sikong Wuwei cupped his fists and followed suit.
The couple sent him off with cupped fists. When he disappeared into the horizon, Wu Menglan took the initiative to place her hand in Zhao Fei's. Zhao Fei held her hand, and they returned to the palace together …
The ice and snow in Traversing Moon Palace had yet to melt, while Traversing Wood Palace was as warm as spring. The climate of the two places was very different.
As soon as Miao Yi returned to the palace, Qian'Er and Xue'Er could finally relax. "Milord, why did you take so long to hand over the tribute last year?"
Miao Yi briefly explained the situation with Zhao Fei, then asked them to summon Yang Qing over.
Yang Qing arrived. Miao Yi told him about Tan Lao and Ye Xin's request, then asked, "Does Head Steward Yang have any way to convince the two sects?"
Yang Qing pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "Milord, you shouldn't have agreed to this. You can't solve this problem. The only ones who can solve this problem are Tan Lao and Ye Xin themselves. No one else can do anything about it. "
Miao Yi asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Yang Qing said, "The two sects have spent a large amount of cultivation resources to support them to where they are today. It's impossible that they don't want something in return. The reason why the sects nurture their disciples to occupy higher positions of power is to help the sects seize greater benefits. However, the two of them were different. They clearly knew that there was a conflict of interest between the two sects, yet they still dared to ally with each other. If there was a conflict of interest between the two sects, and the people of the Jade Lady Sect ordered Ye Xin to attack the people of the Beast Taming School, and Ye Xin's husband was a member of the Beast Taming School, should Ye Xin attack them or not? If she did, the people of the Beast Taming School would definitely take their anger out on Tan Lao. If she didn't, the people of the Jade Lady Sect would think that Ye Xin was a traitor. Conversely, it would be the same for Tan Lao as well. Putting everything else aside, just the fact that the two of them were overseeing their respective halls meant that there would inevitably be disciples from the two sects within the boundaries of their respective halls. This kind of situation would happen again and again, and the two of them would definitely be in a terrible predicament. How could Milord possibly help them resolve this kind of trouble that would happen again and again? If the two of them really want to resolve this, the only way to do so is to take advantage of the fact that this matter has yet to be made public and pretend that nothing ever happened. Sever their ties now is the best option. Otherwise, the two of them will never have a day of peace! "
Miao Yi shook his head and said, "How is that possible? Ye Xin has only just given herself to Tan Lao. Perhaps Tan Lao will be fine after they separate, but how can a woman like Ye Xin endure this?"
Yang Qing said, "That's why I said that if they still have a shred of rationality left in them. They shouldn't be together in the first place. If they don't want to separate, that's fine too. They just have to continue hiding this matter from the people of the Beast Taming School and the Jade Lady Sect. From now on, they can continue acting in secret. "
If they kept acting in secret, then what would be the point of them being together? Miao Yi's brows twitched. "If this Seat were to step in, Could it be that the Beast Taming School and Jade Maiden Sect won't give me any face? "
Yang Qing asked, "May I ask what kind of face Milord wants the two sects to give Milord?"
Miao Yi replied, "Naturally, I hope that Tan Lao and Ye Xin will not be punished."
Yang Qing smiled and said, "If Milord were to make an appearance, the two sects would naturally give Milord face. This is completely a favor that doesn't cost much."
Miao Yi furrowed his brows. "A simple favor? What do you mean? "
Yang Qing said, "Even if Sir doesn't make an appearance, the two factions will at most reprimand the two of them and force them to separate. Even if the two of them are unwilling to separate, it's unlikely that they will be punished. After all, the two of them have reached such a position in the government. What good would it do for the two factions to bring them down from the stage? The losses would only be the interests of the two factions, so the outcome would be the same regardless of whether the Lord showed up or not. The truly troublesome matter is what I mentioned just now. The two of them will be faced with an inextricable and chaotic mess from now on. Another point is that from now on, the two of them will most likely not be able to obtain any more profound cultivation arts from the two sects. Once their cultivations reach a certain realm, it will be difficult for them to progress any further. The two sects will also no longer be able to allocate resources to pave the way for them to ascend. This is because the two of them have already lost control over their actions. The two sects will no longer be able to use their sects' resources to support two people who don't care about their sects. Forget about Milord, even the Overlord won't be able to resolve this matter. "
Miao Yi was silent for a while, then sighed. He reckoned it was unrealistic to ask the two of them to separate from the two sects now. If the two of them were to fall out with each other and completely lose their influence, the two sects would most likely do everything in their power to bring them down from the stage. He had already realized that the two of them's actions had a terrible impact on the two sects, and had already threatened their foundations. If everyone followed suit, then the two sects would be in deep trouble. That was why he called Yang Qing over to ask if there were any countermeasures.
Now that he heard Yang Qing's words, Miao Yi realized that perhaps Gu Sanzheng's refusal to accept Ye Xin was actually for her own good. Tan Lao was a man, but he ended up harming Ye Xin. Even if Gu Sanzheng wanted to stop him, he couldn't. What was the point of him stopping Tan Lao and Ye Xin from being together?
Miao Yi asked, "In other words, the two of them will either pretend nothing happened and separate, or they will continue to hide it from each other?"
Yang Qing replied, "Currently, the two of them do not have the strength to resist. Even if Milord were to help, it would be useless. To put it bluntly, even though Milord is the Golden Hall Deacon, he still does not have the strength to eradicate the three major sects. So even if Milord were to step in, it would be useless. The two sects will still give Milord some face, but when it comes to matters that involve the fundamental interests of their sects, it is impossible for them to compromise. So for now, this is all we can do. At most, we will see if there are any opportunities in the future.
I know what to do now. "Miao Yi waved his hand and said," Go do what you need to do. I know what to do. "
Yang Qing cupped his fists and excused himself. Qian'Er and Xue'Er exchanged glances, their eyes filled with sympathy.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi wrote two letters for the two ladies to send to Tan Lao and Ye Xin. There were some things that were inconvenient to say in letters, so he could only ask the two of them to come over and explain things in person.
After some time, Tan Lao and Ye Xin arrived together. Both of them were in low spirits. Clearly, after some time, they had calmed down and gradually realized the severity of the situation.
Miao Yi explained the situation to the two of them in detail. It wasn't that he refused to help, but rather, he wanted them to decide whether or not they still wanted him to ask the two sects for help. That was because if he did, it would mean that their matter would be made public.
Tan Lao had a miserable look on his face. He no longer had the manly aura of carrying Ye Xin to bed.
On the other hand, Ye Xin's eyes were filled with sadness. Miao Yi didn't know if she now understood that Gu Sanzheng had done it for her own good by not carrying her away that night. If she did, how would she feel?
In the end, the two of them decided to keep this matter a secret and continue to act sneakily. They would solve this problem when they were strong enough.
After Miao Yi sent the two of them off, he couldn't help but sigh. 'Solve this problem when I'm strong enough? Doesn't that mean I'll have to go against my sect? '
He didn't want to think about this problem any longer, because there was no right or wrong in this matter. Tan Lao and Ye Xin weren't wrong in this matter, and neither were their sects. If Miao Yi were in their shoes, he would definitely be furious as well. 'My sect has spent so many resources to nurture you two, but in the end, you've raised an ingrate who wants to go against my sect. How can I let you two live?!'
At most, Miao Yi would side with the two of them as friends.
That night, after taking a bath in the fragrant soup, Qian'Er and Xue'Er went to the palace to serve him. Their beautiful bodies were thoroughly serviced, and they enjoyed themselves to the fullest. After indulging themselves, the three of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
Early the next morning, after a night of pleasure, Qian'Er and Xue'Er were as beautiful as flowers. After a night of indulgence, Miao Yi collected his emotions and strode into his silent quarters, once again entering closed-door cultivation.
Before he went into closed-door cultivation, he told the two ladies that if nothing unexpected happened, apart from handling the annual tribute and other routine matters, he might need to go into closed-door cultivation for several hundred years. He told the two ladies to cultivate diligently and raise their cultivations as soon as possible.
After a month in the silent quarters, Miao Yi digested another six Basic Immortal Pills, and a Second Grade Red Lotus blossomed on his forehead. Just as he expected, it took him fourteen Basic Immortal Pills to break through to Red Lotus Second Grade. He estimated that he would need more than two million and six hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will to break through to Red Lotus Third Grade, and he only had sixteen Basic Immortal Pills left. It wasn't enough to help him break through to Red Lotus Third Grade. He still had about ten Basic Immortal Pills left, so he had no choice but to slowly cultivate with Orbs of Will. The Six Sages had monopolized the supply of Basic Immortal Pills. Unless he received a reward from them, no one else would be able to obtain one.
With a flip of his palm, Miao Yi grabbed two handfuls of Orbs of Will and refined them in his hands, checking the refining speed.
