There was nothing more to say. No one here could stop Mu Fanjun. Miao Yi grabbed the Lady Boss's hand and was about to leave, but then let go. He turned back and asked, "If I leave, what about my four brothers?"
Qing Feng was silent. What else could they do? Either they fought, or they didn't have to. There were only two options.
"You stay here. I'll go take a look." Miao Yi instructed the Lady Boss, then turned and strode away.
The Lady Boss caught up to him and grabbed his hand, clearly intending to go with him.
"Go back!" Miao Yi stopped and shouted, "You and Bajie go first. I'll be fine. If we really fight, although the four of you aren't Mu Fanjun's match, it shouldn't be a problem for you to stop her for a while. The vast sea is all around us, once I escape into the sea, it won't be easy for her to find me. "
Qing Feng looked at him with a strange gaze. It wasn't easy to make such a decision.
"If we leave, we leave together. If we stay, we stay together!" The Lady Boss grabbed his arm tightly and shook her head, pleading with him.
"Is the main body that scary?" Suddenly, someone asked from outside.
The expressions of everyone in the room changed. They hurried to the door and saw a tall, slender man dressed in a gray robe standing outside the hall with his hands behind his back. He slowly turned his head to look at Miao Yi. His sharp, almond-shaped eyes exuded an intimidating aura.
"Guo Shaohai?" Miao Yi exclaimed. The person before him was none other than Guo Shaohai, whom he met in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea.
At that moment, a few more people appeared in the air. The Mighty Four Brothers, Grandmaster Qi Jie, and most surprisingly, Hong Chen and Yue Yao were here as well.
As soon as they landed, Hong Chen and Yue Yao obediently stood by 'Guo Shaohai's side. Both of them had a complicated look in their eyes as they looked at Guo Shaohai, especially Yue Yao. She was staring daggers at the Lady Boss, sizing her up.
Miao Yi's pupils abruptly shrank. Considering Hong Chen and Yue Yao's reactions, as well as An Zhengfeng's attitude towards Guo Shaohai, even an idiot would be able to guess Guo Shaohai's identity. So this' man 'was the Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun. So he had met the Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun before.
What Guo Shaohai? Qing Feng and the Lady Boss were a little confused. Both of them had met Mu Fanjun before, so they didn't understand why Miao Yi would suddenly mention 'Guo Shaohai'.
The atmosphere was tense and quiet.
Mu Fanjun's gaze fell on the Lady Boss and Miao Yi's hand, lingering on the Lady Boss for a while. Then, she returned to Miao Yi. As though she was sitting on a cloud, she calmly said, "Miao Yi, we meet again."
As soon as he said this, many people were astonished, especially Hong Chen and Yue Yao. Their Master had met Miao Yi before?
Miao Yi calmed down. He walked over and cupped his fists. "Greetings, Holy Venerable!"
Mu Fanjun asked, "Are you going to betray the Celestial Nation, or are you going to play around here for a while before returning?"
Miao Yi was speechless. How was he supposed to answer this question? If the other party said that they weren't going back, he was afraid that they would kill him on the spot. Even if he went back, he wouldn't have a good time either.
At this moment, Grandmaster Qi Jie took a step forward and sighed, "Benefactor Mu, since you have already agreed to let him go, why must you make things difficult for him?"
Let me go? Miao Yi raised his head in surprise and looked at Grandmaster Qi Jie, then at Mu Fanjun.
Mu Fanjun stared at Miao Yi and said, "Since Grandmaster Qi Jie has spoken up and pleaded for leniency on his behalf, then why don't you do it? How can I not give Grandmaster Qi Jie face? Not to mention, he helped me find the Netherdragon Ship before, which is a great merit. No matter what, I will not mistreat him. If he wishes to stay here, I will return his freedom and reward him. If he returns to the Celestial Nation and continues to serve me, I will reward him as well. I will reward him with a high position and a generous salary, as well as a marriage between the two of them. Otherwise, he will have to hide here and not dare to meet anyone. Whether he wants to return or stay here, it is entirely up to him. Grandmaster. Do you still have any objections to my generous treatment? "
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, all of them very surprised.
Miao Yi was even more astonished. Was this for real? How could there be such a good thing? He immediately cupped his fists and asked, "Holy Venerable, are you serious?"
Mu Fanjun replied expressionlessly, "My words are as good as gold."
Then there was nothing more to say. After causing such a commotion, how could Miao Yi dare to return to Mu Fanjun's side? He immediately replied, "I am willing to withdraw my Immortal Record and stay in the Sea of Constellations. I hope that Holy Venerable will grant my request."
Mu Fanjun nodded slightly and said, "Since I have already agreed to it, I will naturally grant your request." She then turned to Yue Yao and said, "Yue Yao, since your elder brother is unwilling to walk the same path as you, then there is nothing I can do. I have already tried my best to persuade him to stay. The rest is up to you. If your elder brother refuses to give you face and refuses to return with you, then don't blame me for not helping you reunite with your sister."
As soon as she said this, some were shocked, while others were confused.
Yue Yao's face was filled with shock and panic. She didn't dare to meet Mu Fanjun's gaze and frantically averted her gaze.
The prayer beads on Ba Jie's wrist appeared in his hand, and he quickly began to prick them. From Yue Yao's reaction, Miao Yi could tell that Yue Yao wasn't the one who leaked the news. He quickly turned to look at Hong Chen, but when he saw Hong Chen's nervous expression, it didn't seem like she was the one who leaked the news.
Grandmaster Qi Jie looked at Ba Jie, then at Yue Yao, and finally at Miao Yi. Suddenly, he clasped his hands together and sighed, "Amitabha!"
In order to beg Grandmaster Qi Jie to save Miao Yi, his disciple Ba Jie had told him about his relationship with Miao Yi. However, he didn't tell him about his relationship with Yue Yao. In that instant, Grandmaster Qi Jie's mind immediately returned to the Ancient City of Changfeng. The scene when he first met the three siblings was still vivid in his mind, and he couldn't help but chant the name of Buddha. He never thought that all three siblings would still be alive.
Mu Fanjun calmly said, "What's wrong? Your elder brother is right in front of you. Do you not recognize him, or are you afraid to acknowledge him? "
Yue Yao immediately knelt to the ground with a thud. She lowered her head, her complexion pale.
Mu Fanjun scoffed, "What a good disciple of mine. Out of the six of you, I dote on you the most. Yet, you've been lying to me all this time! A person called 'Miao Yi' suddenly popped out of nowhere, and he even has the same name as your long-lost elder brother. He even has many dealings with you. Do you really think I'm a fool? "
She turned to look at Hong Chen and bellowed, "And you! All those years ago, you secretly helped her search for her long-lost elder brother. You secretly went through the Immortal Register of the entire Celestial Nation many times. After that, you even accompanied her to a secret meeting with Miao Yi in a private residence in the capital city of the Fifth Earthly Branch. Do you dare say you didn't know anything? Do you think I'm blind or deaf? "
Hong Chen was now completely flustered. Putting everything else aside, he had not expected his Master to even know about the situation of their meeting in a secluded manor in the capital city of the Fifth Earthly Branch. Did that mean that his Master knew about some other things as well?
Hong Chen also knelt down with a thud. The fear in his heart was indescribable. He never thought that his Master would know about so many things, yet he didn't reveal anything about it at all.
Everyone exchanged glances. The others were a little confused about what was going on, but Miao Yi's chest was heaving up and down. His breathing was ragged, and his fists were tightly clenched.
The prayer beads in Ba Jie's hand stiffened, as if they were about to snap at any moment.
Mu Fanjun glanced at Ba Jie from the corner of her eye, but only paused for a moment. She then calmly shifted her gaze back to her two disciples kneeling before her. "I have raised the two of you for so many years. I have imparted my skills to you, taught you everything, and spent so much effort to give you both glory and wealth. I never thought that you would treat me this way. You are truly my good disciples! Let me ask the two of you, are you going to learn from Miao Yi and betray me as well? "
The two of them hurriedly shook their heads. They were so flustered that they didn't know what to say.
"Yue Yao, your Master is not an unreasonable person. I want to fulfill your sibling bond, but your elder brother is going to carry you away! I will give you a chance. If you can convince your elder brother to return and continue working for me, I will let this matter go. I will take care of my sibling bond, and I will even bestow upon your elder brother a high position and a generous salary. I will not make things difficult for him either. If your elder brother insists on leaving and becomes a traitor, then you will not be able to escape responsibility for what happened today. If it weren't for your deception and protection, how could such a traitor exist? It would not be an exaggeration to say that you will be punished as well! "Mu Fanjun bellowed.
"Amitabha!" Grandmaster Qi Jie chanted, then sighed, "Almsgiver Mu, since you are willing to fulfill his wish, why don't you …"
"Grandmaster!" Mu Fanjun abruptly cut him off. She turned around and said, "Grandmaster Qi Jie, please conduct yourself with dignity! Miao Yi, I have already given you face and let him go. You won't interfere in this matter as well, will you? If one day your disciple were to do as he pleases, will you, as his Master, not interfere as well? "
Grandmaster Qi Jie was speechless. It was only right for a Master to teach her disciple a lesson...
"Master!" Yue Yao finally couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears. Kneeling down, she hugged Mu Fanjun's leg and begged, "Master, I know you dote on me the most. I beg you, I beg you. Please let my Big Brother go. As long as you can let him go, I will do anything to repay you."
Mu Fanjun remained unmoved and said, "Yue Yao, there's something wrong with your words. I have already agreed to let your Big Brother go. Did you not hear me?"
How was this letting him go? Anyone who wasn't a fool could tell that this was clearly an act of coercion. Unfortunately, Mu Fanjun had done it flawlessly. She was the one who had the final say in everything.
Yue Yao immediately burst into tears.
Miao Yi's heart broke when he saw his Little Sister's state. He grimaced in pain for a while, but in the end, he still managed to control his emotions. He cupped his fists and said, "Venerable Saint! I know my mistake. I am willing to accept my punishment and return to the Celestial Nation to receive my punishment. Please, Venerable Saint, let my little sister go! "
This was the first time he had publicly admitted that Yue Yao was his little sister. The Lady Boss stared at him in shock. She never thought that the Celestial Sage's disciple would actually be her man's little sister.
The others who didn't know the truth were also shocked.
Mu Fanjun said, "Since you are willing to return, then you are only here to have fun with your sworn brother. There is no such thing as a betrayal. What crime is there to be guilty of? You are free to marry whomever you like. I have always been a person who likes to help others achieve their goals. I will definitely not separate you! " She cast a glance at Yue Yao, who was hugging her leg and crying, and said, "Hong Chen, what are you waiting for? Help your Junior Sister up. It is unbecoming of you to be crying in public!"
Hong Chen had no choice but to stand up and help Yue Yao up.
Mu Fanjun then turned to Miao Yi and said, "Yue Yao is my direct disciple, and you are Yue Yao's elder brother. In the future, you will be a family. It is only natural for a family to help each other. I will naturally not mistreat you. Return to your territory as soon as possible. There are billions of believers in the two Halls. We cannot afford to lose someone to oversee the sect for too long. "She then turned to the Lady Boss and called out," Little Yun! "
