At this point, how could he not know that Feng Xuan's release had something to do with what he had said to Demon Saint Yun Aotian? But never in his wildest dreams did he think that his words would cause Yun Aotian to release Feng Xuan.
He was not the only one. In fact, the other old fellows also knew that Yun Aotian was the one who would be most happy to see Lady Boss change her ways. But who would have thought that something like this would happen? He was a little confused. Could it be that everyone's judgment was wrong?
Why not release Feng Xuan earlier or later? There were only two hundred years left. Wasn't letting Feng Xuan out on purpose? The stonemason felt like crying. He finally understood what it meant to be unpredictable.
Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to tell Yun Aotian the truth.
Bang! Chef suddenly kicked the stonemason to the ground. He pointed at him and scolded, "If that's the case, why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you have to wait until the last moment? We were not prepared at all!"
Although the carpenter and the scholar wanted to beat the stonemason up, they were Feng Xuan's men. Now that something like this had happened, it was not their turn to beat the stonemason up. Chef and the stonemason were both from the Great Devil Realm, so it was more appropriate for Chef to beat the stonemason up.
The stonemason turned and sat on the ground. He said with a sad face, "The Holy Lord warned me not to tell Lady Boss. I thought the Holy Lord was only secretly concerned about Lady Boss. What's more, I had already pleaded with the Holy Lord. I said there was only two hundred years left. The Holy Lord listened to me. Who would have thought that things would turn out like this? What is the Holy Lord trying to do?! "
"I'll beat you to death, you bastard …" Chef raised his leg and kicked.
"Chef!" The Lady Boss stopped him. Everyone turned to look at her.
The Lady Boss stared quietly at herself in the mirror for a while. She got up and turned around. "It's not his fault, and I can't blame him. I asked for it. I can't blame anyone else. Get up, Stonemason. It's fine. "
The stonemason got up. He did not know what to say. Suddenly, he slapped himself hard. "I deserve to die, my mouth stinks …"
The Lady Boss sighed tiredly. "Alright, Stonemason. I'm really fine. You've been with me for so many years. Do you think I don't trust you? What was to come would come sooner or later, it was just brought forward. I'm already mentally prepared. I'll have to face it sooner or later, so there's no need to panic. Everything started because of me, so I'm the only one at fault. Right and wrong, gratitude and grudges should all be settled by me. There's nothing to be afraid of. The sooner I settle it, the sooner I can be free! "
At this moment, footsteps could be heard coming from the rooftop outside. Someone was chattering about something.
The Confucian scholar quickly opened the door and saw five or six people gesticulating on the rooftop.
The lady boss and the others also walked out and looked at those people. The Lady Boss glanced at one of them and said with a smile, "So it's the Xiao Clan's Eldest Brother. Why are you pointing fingers at my residence?"
The person who was referred to as the head of the Xiao Family was called Xiao Bie Gui. He was the eldest son of Xiao Yuntian, one of the strongest loose cultivators. He lived on an island in the ocean.
"Mrs. Feng!" Xiao Bie Gui hurried forward to greet her, then replied, "Father received Senior Feng's request to take care of the Tempest Tavern. He told me to come here first to prepare everything. Mrs. Feng's residence is a welcoming house, and it's a place where everyone can see. It can't be too simple, so I discussed it with the others. At the very least, we need to decorate Mrs. Feng's residence to make it look festive. "
The Lady Boss smiled. "Isn't it supposed to be the ninth day of the New Year? Isn't it a little too early to decorate? "
Xiao Bie Gui replied, "How can Mrs. Feng's wedding day be so casual? We naturally need to think about how to decorate it first. Once we're prepared, we'll be able to purchase whatever we need in advance. "
"That's very thoughtful of you. You may continue, then." The Lady Boss walked away with a smile. She walked a little further away, stopping at the place where she used to drink, and gazed into the distance.
The Confucian scholar and the others would occasionally turn back to look at Xiao Bie Gui and the others, then walked to the Lady Boss's side. The carpenter said in a low voice, "Lady Boss, should we chase them away? It's annoying to watch them gesticulate like this."
The Lady Boss smiled. "Feng Xuan is here. I'm not the only one who has the final say in this tavern. Since Feng Xuan gave the order, then let them do as they please."
The four of them exchanged glances. They were all extremely anxious right now, but the Lady Boss was actually able to keep her cool.
But then again, the Lady Boss had always been a woman who could keep her cool whenever something happened. Sometimes, she had to admit that some things were related to one's background and upbringing.
The scholar said, "Lady Boss, we can't just keep waiting like this. Should we send the carpenter over to inform Niu Er?"
"No need!" The Lady Boss lightly waved her sleeves, a faint smile on her face. "Isn't he one of his men in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea? It wouldn't make sense if he didn't know about such a huge commotion. Even though his background is quite influential now, it's still nothing compared to Feng Beichen's. I won't force him to risk his life, nor will I beg him to do so. It's all up to him. I can't force him to do something like this. I'm a loose woman, so there's no reason for me to force him to do anything. All I have to do is wait here in peace. I just want to see if I'm as blind as a bat. I just want to see if I'll make the same mistake a second time. If he's willing to risk his life for me, then I'll be his man in life, and his ghost in death. I'll have no regrets for the rest of my life. "
She didn't say what would happen if Miao Yi didn't come. The four of them fell silent. They didn't ask, afraid that they would hear something inauspicious. However, they could see a rare sense of calmness from her, as well as a hint of tiredness.
The four of them secretly exchanged glances, and prepared to send one of them to contact Miao Yi.
However, the Lady Boss seemed to have guessed what they were thinking. After all, they had known each other for so many years. With her back facing them, she said, "Don't even think about looking for him in secret. Everyone can look down on me, but … there are some things that I can tolerate, and some things that I can't. Do you understand?"
When the four of them heard this, they sighed dejectedly and nodded silently …
Great Devil Realm. Demonic clouds spouted out from the roof of the Great Devil Palace like a fountain, forming a massive canopy over the sky. It was quite a frightening sight to behold.
Eunuch Qiao walked up the stairs, then called out softly from the tightly shut palace gates, "Master!"
The demonic clouds swirling around the roof quickly retracted, then quickly retracted back into the house.
Eunuch Qiao then pushed open the palace gates, walked inside, and waited quietly at the foot of the steps leading to the throne.
Sitting cross-legged, Yun Aotian slowly withdrew his cultivation and opened his eyes. He stared down at the ground and asked, "What is it?"
Eunuch Qiao replied, "Master, that embroidered pillow is calling his friends outside. He's preparing to welcome the First Miss back to the Boundless Heaven for her wedding."
"He's quite bold. I'm guessing it's that ox-nosed Daoist Feng Beichen's idea." Yun Aotian scoffed, "What's up with that sneaky little thief?"
Eunuch Qiao replied, "He's been reinstated. He's returned from East Arrival Cave to be the Hall Master of the two Halls."
"Oh!" Yun Aotian lowered his feet and walked down the stairs, frowning as he said, "There's no way Mu Fanjun didn't hear about him becoming sworn brothers with the four old demons. What's the meaning of reinstating him now? Don't tell me that woman has colluded with the Sea of Constellations? What's up with Ji Huan? She hasn't gone after those old demons yet? "
"I haven't heard anything for the time being," Eunuch Qiao replied. He then asked, "What about the First Miss?"
"What should we do?" Yun Aotian sneered, "That's easy! When the time comes, don't blame me for being unreasonable. If there's really a joyous occasion, I'll turn it into a funeral for him! Go personally to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea and keep an eye on him! "
"Understood!" Eunuch Qiao acknowledged.
Feng Xuan Tian went around calling his friends and stirring up such a huge commotion. The news of him escaping from the Great Devil Realm quickly spread like wildfire throughout the entire cultivation realm. It was no less shocking than the news of Miao Yi becoming the Subjugation Crusade's host.
What was Miao Yi's motive for taking care of so many people? He wasn't deaf or blind.
Suppressing Ninth Hall, in the rear palace. After sending off Sikong Wuwei, Miao Yi received a message from Lin Pingping from the capital city. One of the messages was about Feng Xuan escaping from the Great Devil Realm!
Crack! The jade disk in Miao Yi's hand turned to dust. He asked solemnly, "Qian 'Er, is there any news from Yang Qing regarding Flowing Clouds Dune Sea?"
Qian 'Er replied, "If there aren't any urgent matters in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, they will send a report once every three days. Later, Head Steward Yang will send it over as usual every day."
Miao Yi emphasized each word, "I want to see it now. Immediately!"
The two ladies immediately noticed that Miao Yi's expression didn't look too good. "Understood!" Qian 'Er quickly replied and left.
Not long after, Qian 'Er handed over the news she received from Yang Qing.
After reading it, Miao Yi's expression darkened. He chuckled coldly, "Chujiu! Chujiu … "
Crack! The jade disk in his hand turned to dust again. He slowly closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the tea table.
The two ladies carefully accompanied him, not daring to say a word. They had been with Miao Yi for more than a year or two now. Naturally, they could tell that Miao Yi's emotions were extremely unpredictable.
After a long time, Miao Yi opened his eyes, a fierce glint in them. Whoosh! He suddenly disappeared from his seat.
The two ladies hurriedly ran out of the room, only to find that Miao Yi had already disappeared into the horizon …
Western Constellations Palace. Miao Yi descended from the sky in a hurry, landing right outside the ancient palace.
Qing Feng appeared in a flash. When he saw it was Miao Yi, he cupped his fists and greeted, "Fifth Lord!"
"Little Brother Fu." Miao Yi shouted at the tightly shut gates.
'This form of address!' Qing Feng's expression twitched.
A helpless sigh came from within the palace as well. The heavy gates opened up a crack on their own.
Miao Yi flicked his sleeves and strode in, sitting right next to Fu Qing.
Fu Qing tilted his head and looked at him.
Without waiting for him to speak, Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "Have your men go and invite Big Brother, Little Sister, and Little Sister here."
Fu Qing asked, "What is it?"
Miao Yi said impatiently, "I'll tell you when everyone is here. There's something important that cannot be delayed. It has to be done quickly!"
