The Lady Boss walked straight out the door and said without a care in the world, "The grudge between you and Peony is your grudge. Peony broke the rules of the inn, so I will naturally settle the score with them. These are two different matters. It is not worthwhile for me to beat around the bush and find a reason to break the rules of the inn for someone else."
The scholar, the carpenter, and the stonemason also went out and left behind the lady boss.
The cook leaned against the kitchen door and made a gesture to Yang Qing and the others. "Don't delay us from cooking for our guests."
Wu Qunfang and the others had to leave with a sad face. They didn't have the mood to stay here any longer, so they quickly checked out and left.
Night had fallen. On the rooftop, the lady boss's skirt fluttered as she watched them leave quickly.
The carpenter asked, "Lady boss, this Swarm of Bees is obviously with Niuer. If you don't save Cheng Yaowei, will Niuer be angry if he finds out?"
"How can I ruin the foundation of the inn for Cheng Yaowei? Even if we save him, we can't do it ourselves." The lady boss suddenly sneered and said sarcastically, "It's good that they are on the same side. I'm afraid that they are not. I just want Niu Er to know that I can save Cheng Yaowei. Niu Er can run away, can't he? If you want to save Cheng Yaowei, come back and beg me. Let me be in a good mood. "
The carpenter and the stonemason looked at each other and smiled. They seemed to be able to imagine Niuer's embarrassment after he ran away and came back to the lady boss.
"Take care of Peony's people, dead or alive. Go to the sandcastle tomorrow morning!" The lady boss turned around and ordered.
It was already late. It was not good for a woman to go to the sandcastle to find a man. Besides, she had to wait for someone to come back and get even with him. It was not a very important matter, so she could only wait until tomorrow morning.
"Yes!" The carpenter and the stonemason looked at each other and took the order again. In fact, both of them knew that the scholar had explained the situation clearly. It was actually Niuer who caused the trouble. Peony's people were also forced to do so, but the lady boss wanted to stand up for Niuer, so it could only be Peony's people who were unlucky. After all, the lady boss and Niuer slept in the same bed. This kind of thing couldn't be reasoned with anywhere.
"Go and do whatever you need to do. Ouch! I'll go back to the house and wait for that bastard to walk into the trap! " The Lady Boss giggled and adjusted the hairpin on her hair. She turned around and left with a teasing look on her face. Although the inn had been destroyed, she seemed to be in a good mood. This was called being sick.
Under the night sky, Wu Qunfang's group went through a lot of twists and turns. After confirming that they had avoided being followed, they finally landed at a location.
Under the three coconut trees that were arranged in the shape of a triangle was the place where Miao Yi had sneaked in during the day.
After Cheng Yingxia knocked on a tree trunk sixteen times, the sand between the three trees opened up, revealing a pitch-black hole.
The people who were vigilant of their surroundings quickly jumped in one by one. The entrance of the cave was quickly sealed, and someone inside cast a spell to smooth out the traces on the sand outside.
The guard at the entrance saluted and said, "Second Leader … Ah! What happened to the First Leader? "
Wu Qunfang's expression was one of grief and indignation. Without explaining the reason, she asked, "Did anyone come here this afternoon?"
The guard replied, "In reply to Second Leader, there was indeed an unfamiliar man. We don't know who he is."
Wu Qunfang nodded and quickly led the group deeper into the cave. When they arrived at the underground abode, Jian Sanniang and the others had already come out to welcome them.
"Master is already here?" Wu Qunfang asked through voice transmission. Most of the people here didn't know Miao Yi's identity, so it wasn't good to announce it. Thus, they communicated through voice transmission.
"He's already here," Sanniang replied. She glanced at Cheng Yaowei, who was on the verge of death. She then continued, "Master has instructed that the First Leader seemed to have been poisoned during the day. If it's difficult to neutralize the poison, we should quickly bring the First Leader to him for treatment."
Wu Qunfang was taken aback. She was just about to settle down first before thinking of a way to treat the First Leader. She didn't expect that the First Leader would already be here. She hurriedly asked, "Is Master confident that he can neutralize the poison?"
Sanniang replied, "He didn't say. He only told me to do so."
"Quick, Xiang 'er. Hurry and bring your father here." Wu Qunfang quickly turned around and called out to him. She quickly brought her children and carried her husband to see Miao Yi. It didn't matter if Miao Yi could be saved or not. Since Miao Yi had said so, she could only hope for the best. No matter what, she had to try.
When they arrived at the cave with the best facilities, most people were naturally dismissed. Only Cheng Yaowei's family, Yang Qing, and Jian Sanniang entered. Outside the cave, Yang Zhaoqing personally stood guard, not allowing any outsiders to approach.
Inside the cave, fresh fruits filled the table, while Miao Yi sat cross-legged on the stone couch.
As soon as the cave door closed, everyone bowed and said, "Greetings, Master!"
Sanniang and the others were slightly better off, but Wu Qunfang and the others were looking at Miao Yi with awe. Everyone had witnessed the might of Miao Yi's attack today. Those black-robed men were obviously at the Purple Lotus realm, but Miao Yi still managed to cut them down like he was chopping vegetables.
Yang Qing had a complicated look in his eyes. Before coming to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, he had been a little better off. But now, he suddenly realized that Miao Yi had already grown to a level that was a little out of his reach. The gap between the two of them was growing wider and wider.
Miao Yi opened his eyes and put his legs down. He stood up and smiled, "You're all back!" He glanced at Yang Qing and said, "I knew it wouldn't be hard for Head Steward Yang to get you all out of here."
"Yes!" Wu Qunfang and the others answered submissively.
Yang Qing didn't say anything, but he was thinking to himself, 'They didn't even try to make things difficult for me. What does it have to do with me? Maybe I've made a fool of myself.'
Miao Yi's gaze fell on Cheng Yaowei, who was behind Cheng Yingxiang. He furrowed his brows and asked, "How are Head Cheng's injuries?"
Wu Qunfang immediately cried out sorrowfully, "Milord, my husband has been poisoned. The Lady Boss of the Tempest Tavern said that he has been poisoned by a 'Demonic Corpse Powder'. We are helpless against it, so I beg you, milord, to save my husband's life."
"Demonic Corpse Powder?" Miao Yi was taken aback. "What kind of poison is Demonic Corpse Powder? Is it very powerful? "
The Cheng family members immediately exchanged glances. When they heard Sanniang's words earlier, they thought this Master would have a way. But now they realized that he didn't even know what Demonic Corpse Powder was. Their hearts instantly sank to the bottom. It looked like they would have to think of another way.
But since Miao Yi had already asked, Wu Qunfang suppressed her anxiety and explained the situation to him.
"He'll turn into a Demonic Corpse?" Miao Yi muttered, "It really is a potent poison!"
Yang Qing suddenly interjected, "The Lady Boss of Tempest Tavern has a way to save him, but she said that Tempest Tavern's rules have always been neutral. They don't involve themselves in the grudges between their customers. We begged her, but she refused to help us. "As he spoke, he paid close attention to Miao Yi's reaction.
Miao Yi scoffed, "You've earned so much money that your heart has turned black as well. And you still expect her to save him? That woman's heart is black, and her hands are black as well. If I hadn't reacted quickly today, I would have fallen into her hands as well. I don't believe that I can't save Head Cheng without her help. Put Head Cheng down. I'll give it a try. "He then walked over.
Yang Qing's eyes flashed with suspicion as he muttered to himself. Could it be that his suspicions were wrong?
The family of three immediately worked together, carefully placing the barely breathing Cheng Yaowei on the ground.
Miao Yi crouched down and grabbed Cheng Yaowei's bruised wrist, then invoked his transcendence energy to examine him. He discovered that the poison had already seeped deep into Cheng Yaowei's internal organs and even into his bone marrow. His body was gradually changing, and he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "All of you can leave first. Without my permission, no one is to come in and disturb me."
"Yes!" The group of people acknowledged and left.
The Cheng family members still held onto a glimmer of hope as they left. In the end, they closed the door tightly, and the family stood guard outside, not daring to make any mistakes.
Miao Yi helped Cheng Yaowei sit up, then sat behind him. He placed his palms on his back, then quickly invoked the Fiery Star Technique and injected it into Cheng Yaowei's body, burning away the poison within.
As soon as he tried, he discovered that the Fiery Star Technique was effective against a potent poison like Demonic Corpse Powder, and could easily nullify the poison. He immediately relaxed. He closed his eyes and focused, calming his mind as he healed Cheng Yaowei.
However, Cheng Yaowei was already deeply poisoned, so it wouldn't be wise to harm his body. Cheng Yaowei let out a sigh of relief.
After a full two hours, Miao Yi finally opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief. He withdrew one of his palms, then pushed the other palm on Cheng Yaowei's back upwards. "Ugh!" Cheng Yaowei let out a pained groan. 'Pu!' Black blood spurted out from his mouth and nose, splattering all over the ground, still steaming hot.
Because he still couldn't invoke his arts to expel the remnants of the poison within his body after it was burned away, Miao Yi simply invoked his arts to help him gather them together, and directly forced them out.
After putting Cheng Yaowei down, Miao Yi stood up and said, "Come in."
The door was immediately opened. Wu Qunfang and the others who were guarding outside rushed in impatiently and surrounded Cheng Yaowei. They saw that the frightening bruises on Cheng Yaowei's skin had already disappeared, and had turned into a deathly pale white. His eyes were tightly shut, and he was lightly snoring, as though he had fallen asleep. There was also a large pool of dirty blood beside him.
Wu Qunfang hurriedly cupped her fists and asked, "Milord, how is my Master?"
Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "He's fine now. I have already helped him expel the poison within his body. It's just that the poison was too deep, and his vitality was severely damaged. He should be fine after a little rest."
Cheng Yingxia, who had already grasped Cheng Yaowei's wrist and invoked her arts to examine him, also turned to Wu Qunfang with a joyful expression and nodded, "Mother, Milord is right. The poison within Father's body has already been expelled."
Wu Qunfang was instantly overjoyed. She quickly beckoned for her children to stand behind her, and knelt down together to pay their respects. "Thank you, Milord, for saving our lives. Cheng Family …"
Before she could finish, Miao Yi had already waved his hand to stop them. "Since he is working for me, it is only right that I save him. Everyone, get up. There's no need to be so courteous. Just remember to do your job well. I will not mistreat you. Take Head Cheng to rest. "
"Yes!" The family of three stood up in response, and carried Cheng Yaowei away.
After the Cheng family left, Miao Yi's gaze shifted, and found Yang Qing staring at the ground in a daze. He asked curiously, "Yang Qing, why are you spacing out?"
"Hmm?" Yang Qing snapped out of his daze, and smiled as he sighed, "Your subordinate was just thinking about the Lady Boss of Tempest Tavern. She is truly a charming woman. She is a rare beauty in this world!"
As soon as he said this, Sanniang looked at Yang Qing in astonishment. The Yang Qing she knew was a man who rarely touched women, and had always been very strict and self-disciplined. Could it be that he had changed after all these years?
