"That's impossible!" Jian Sanniang shook her head and smiled. "I can believe there are people who can rebel elsewhere, but it's impossible for the two halls under Milord's control."
Yang Qing was intrigued. "I'd like to hear your opinion!"
Jian Sanniang said, "I don't have any opinion in front of the Grand Steward. The reason is simple: he's unpopular! First of all, Milord is the Deacon of Jade Capital Peak's Golden Hall. Anyone who dares to make a move will anger the Overlord. Furthermore, Milord is the only one who can control the two halls. First of all, the eighteen Advisors of the two halls will never agree to it. If anyone from the two halls dares to plot against them, the eighteen Advisors will immediately join forces to destroy them. No matter who takes over, they won't be able to provide enough resources to support the eighteen Advisors. Most of the Advisors will be doomed, so everyone has to protect their own interests. Milord has a bright future ahead of him. Anyone can see that the Overlord intends to nurture him. As long as we work hard under Milord, once Milord is promoted to Palace Lord, everyone's status will rise with him. Those who rebel will lose more than they gain. There's no need for them to do something so foolish. "
"You're right!" Yang Qing smiled and nodded. Changing the topic, he asked, "Is there something you need from me?"
Jian Sanniang said, "I came to inform Milord that Wu Qunfang has gathered her children together. I don't know what they're plotting."
Yang Qing nodded. "I understand. Milord has always valued you and Ximen Yan. Put in more effort here and work hard. Milord will not mistreat you in the future. I'll go and bid farewell to Milord. "
Jian Sanniang stepped aside to let him pass.
When he saw Miao Yi, Yang Qing cupped his fists and said, "Milord, Peony probably won't cause trouble for the Hive Gang for the time being. The matter here has come to an end, and I'm worried that there's no one watching over the two halls. Why don't we return as soon as possible?"
"This …" Miao Yi was hesitant. After causing such a ruckus at Tempest Tavern, he had to find a chance to meet with the Lady Boss to appease her. Furthermore, he was preparing to head to the outside world. Since he was already here, it was better to bid farewell. Otherwise, that woman wouldn't be easy to deal with.
But he had no choice. No matter how unreasonable the Lady Boss was, Miao Xiao Er liked her. He liked her type. There was no reason to talk about this kind of thing. It was as if there was a woman who was destined to fight with him for the rest of her life. The two of them would not leave until they truly broke up.
Miao Yi pondered for a moment. "You go back first, I'll stay here and observe the situation."
Yang Qing furrowed his brows. As a subordinate, it wasn't appropriate for him to force Miao Yi to do anything. However, he still reminded him, "Milord can stay if you want, but you must leave this hiding place as soon as possible. Find another place to settle down, preferably one that has nothing to do with the Hive Gang. That way, it will be slightly safer. Otherwise, I'm worried that something might happen. "
Miao Yi asked curiously, "You suspect that there's a mole in the Hive Gang?"
Yang Qing shook his head and said, "It's not because of that. It's just that after causing such a huge ruckus at Tempest Tavern, I still feel that something isn't right. It's hard to say what will happen in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, but it's always better to be prepared for the worst than to regret it later. If something were to happen, these three days would be the most dangerous. This is also the reason why this subordinate has decided to return immediately. If I'm late, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time. Actually, there's something I've always wanted to advise you, Milord, and I'm taking this opportunity today to say it out loud. As the decision-maker, Milord, you shouldn't put yourself in danger all the time. It's fine if it happens once or twice, but you can't do it all the time. You shouldn't risk your life like this all the time. Some of Milord's actions have been thoughtless. I advise you to stay away from this place first. "
Miao Yi nodded and said, "I'll remember everything you said. I'll find another place to hide later. It's not good to have no one watching over the house. You should go back first. I'll have Sanniang escort you. "
From the Great Hall Master Miao's point of view … Sometimes, Yang Qing was a little too cautious, and he thought too much about things. He probably couldn't change his personality.
Seeing that Miao Yi was unmoved and tactfully rejected him, Yang Qing sighed in his heart. He couldn't force the issue. He could only cup his fists and bid his farewell, saying, "Then I'll go back first. No matter what happens, Milord, you must leave this place as soon as possible. "This was a reminder.
Miao Yi nodded again and said, "I'll remember that."
Replacing the word 'I' with 'I', Miao Yi subconsciously revealed a hint of impatience.
However, before Yang Qing left, he still added, "If Milord really runs into trouble here, you might as well seek refuge in the Celestial Nation's Chamber of Commerce. Even though Milord's reputation as a 'Miao Thief' isn't pleasant to the ears, everyone knows that you're the Deacon of the Golden Hall of the Celestial Nation's Fifth Earthly Branch's Jade Capital Peak. If you go to the Chamber of Commerce and reveal your identity, the Chamber of Commerce will not ignore you. They will definitely protect you and think of a way to escort you safely out of Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. Otherwise, if Milord, who has such an illustrious reputation in the Celestial Nation, were to fall in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, it would be a disgrace to the Celestial Nation. "
Miao Yi was almost amused when he heard this. He didn't think that his notoriety would come with such a benefit. But then again, he and An Zhengfeng couldn't be any closer. Would he still need to reveal his identity when he went to the Chamber of Commerce?
Miao Yi already had an idea of what to do. He didn't want to harp on this topic with Yang Qing, so he summoned Yang Zhaoqing, who was standing guard outside, and ordered him to summon Sanniang.
When Sanniang arrived, Miao Yi ordered her to escort Yang Qing back to the two Halls.
The sky was just beginning to brighten, and wisps of mist had already begun to appear above the desert. When the sun rose, it would become a unique spectacle unique to the center of Flowing Clouds Dune Sea.
Yang Qing and Jian Sanniang emerged from the tunnel. After checking their surroundings, they quickly took to the skies.
However, after flying for a short distance, Yang Qing seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly landed in a depression in the desert.
Sanniang was stunned. She followed suit and asked, "What's wrong, Head Steward?"
Yang Qing said, "You don't need to escort me back. I have something else for you to do."
Jian Sanniang asked curiously, "What orders do you have, Head Steward?"
Yang Qing solemnly said, "I'm worried that something might happen here. Stay here and protect Milord."
"..." Jian Sanniang was speechless for a while. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she said, "Head Steward, Milord's strength is much stronger than mine. If something really happens that could threaten Milord, I'm afraid I'll need Milord's protection instead. Milord doesn't need me to protect him."
Yang Qing solemnly said, "I'm saying this just in case. You don't need to return to Point Sixteen either. Just hide in the vicinity of Point Sixteen for at least three days. It's fine if nothing unexpected happens, but if something does happen, it's most likely to happen within these three days. If something happens, act according to the situation and see if you need help. If you can't handle it, don't reveal yourself and take the risk. Immediately seek help from the Celestial Nation's Chamber of Commerce. "
Hearing him speak so seriously, Jian Sanniang felt a little worried. "Since Head Steward is so worried, why don't you tell Milord directly?"
Yang Qing sighed, "How could I not? I've already reminded him a few times, but Milord has his own plans. He might not listen to my advice, so there's no point in talking too much. As his subordinates, it's not good for us to force him. Otherwise, it might backfire. That's why I'm keeping you as a backup plan, just in case. Remember! If Milord manages to leave Point Sixteen in time, you must follow Milord for the next three days. If anything happens, do as I say. If nothing happens, then I'll take it that I'm overthinking things. It's always better to have a backup plan. "
Jian Sanniang nodded, but then said hesitantly, "Head Steward, the Chamber of Commerce and the local powers have always minded their own business. I'm afraid that they won't easily get involved in this kind of matter. What if I seek help from the Celestial Nation's Chamber of Commerce and they refuse to help?"
Yang Qing immediately suggested a brilliant plan. "If the Chamber of Commerce refuses to help, then think of a way to blow the matter up. Go out and spread the word that the 'Miao traitor' is in trouble. There's a limit to one person's strength. You can get the Swarm of Bees to help spread the news and spread the news as quickly as possible. This way, the enemy will also have to be wary of taking action. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Jian Sanniang wasn't an idiot. She just wasn't as smart as Yang Qing. Her eyes lit up as realization dawned on her. She understood Yang Qing's intentions. He wanted to spread the news to put pressure on the Chamber of Commerce. After all, the reputation of the 'Miao traitor' meant that he wasn't just any ordinary cultivator from the Chamber of Commerce. He was someone with a certain level of status in the Celestial Nation. If the matter blew up, the Chamber of Commerce would definitely have to consider the feelings of the local powers, as well as the opinions of the various countries towards the Celestial Nation.
Yang Qing immediately cupped his fists and said, "I understand Head Steward's instructions. I know what to do."
Yang Qing nodded slightly, then solemnly warned, "Sanniang, there's something you need to understand. If Milord doesn't make it back to the Two Halls alive, and someone else takes over, not only will I, the Chief Steward of the Two Halls, lose my position, the eighteen of you Advisors, as well. Furthermore, we've already been dragged into this mess by Milord. Now that we're in cahoots with the desert bandits of Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, if someone else were to take over, I'm afraid that they'll push us out of this mess. That's why Milord's safety is tied to our mutual interests. You must remember my words. Do not disregard them. Otherwise, you'll only bring harm upon yourself."
Hearing this, Sanniang's expression turned solemn. She nodded and said, "Head Steward, Sanniang understands the importance of this matter. I will definitely remember Head Steward's instructions."
That was all Yang Qing had to say before he took to the skies. Jian Sanniang cupped her fists and sent him off …
Early in the morning, the sky brightened at Tempest Tavern. The Lady Boss sat in front of her dressing table. She was dressed in a dignified and elegant manner, but it couldn't hide her alluring charm. Unfortunately, no one took pity on her beautiful face.
Dressed in a sky-blue gown, she stepped out of her room and stood on the rooftop, surveying her surroundings. She gritted her teeth in frustration. She'd waited for an entire night, but that bastard still hadn't come knocking on her door. As a result, she hadn't been able to cultivate or rest well, and had spent the entire night tossing and turning on her bed.
She didn't know if it was because Wu Qunfang and her group didn't manage to bring Cheng Yaowei to Miao Yi in time, or if they'd already found a way to neutralize the Demon Corpse Powder, or if they'd run into something else. In any case, the Lady Boss had been looking forward to this for an entire night, wasting the feelings she'd built up for an entire night. Her plan to take care of a certain someone had failed, and she felt a little displeased.
The earthen walls surrounding the tavern were still new. The stonemason and the tavern's workers had been working hard all night to finish the job. Clanking sounds could be heard throughout the night in the main hall as well. The carpenters had brought along some workers to make new tables and chairs.
Today, the Lady Boss didn't go down to patrol the place. Instead, she casually took out the fragrant bed and lay down on it. She rested her head on one arm and closed her eyes.
Not long after, the carpenters and stonemason arrived. The two of them carried the fragrant bed, which was covered with a pink veil, and flew off into the sky.
The place they were headed to was neither too far nor too close. It wasn't too far for the two of them to carry the bed. Not long after, they arrived at the magnificent yellow sand castle that was built along the mountainside in the middle of the desert. This was the old lair of the Flowing Clouds Dune Sea Duo.
