The two of them then went to pay their respects to Miao Yi's four elder brothers, the Four Constellations Masters.
The four of them didn't stay for long and decided to leave after their meeting. This was the Celestial Nation, after all. When the four of them arrived, they didn't receive any gifts at the reception area. Instead, each of them handed over a storage ring to Miao Yi, and each of them took out ten thousand ripe immortal apricots. Miao Yi liked them quite a bit.
Before leaving, Xiong Wei said, "The Middle Constellations Palace will be finished soon. I'll let you know when it's ready."
After sending the four of them off, Yun Zhiqiu saw Miao Yi grinning mischievously. He grabbed his hand and dug out the four storage rings he was holding. When he took a look at them, he gasped and stared at Miao Yi in shock. To think that these brothers would always give these things to each other out of courtesy, and it wasn't a small amount either. Just how many Immortal Apricots did they have?
This worried her. She pulled Miao Yi to a secluded corner and showed him the four storage rings. "Niu Er, tell me honestly. Where did you get these things from?"
"Hehe, just keep them. They're all yours." Miao Yi brushed her off and turned to leave. It wasn't convenient to tell her this, mainly because he didn't want her to worry. She was Devil Sage Yun Aotian's granddaughter after all.
At his current position, the relationship between husband and wife was one thing, and the world was another. He was already dissatisfied with the Six Sages' oppression. Now that he had a certain foundation, he would naturally have a certain amount of ambition. Resistance was inevitable. He couldn't live his days under the thumb of others. He was like this, and so were the Four Constellations Masters. There were some things that both sides were well aware of, which was why they were willing to cooperate.
Yun Zhiqiu grabbed his arm. "Niu Er, these things can change the balance of power in the cultivation world. The Four Constellations Masters were the rulers of the world in the past. Once they return to being the strongest, the world will be in chaos. Blood will flow like rivers. They won't let the Yun family off."
Miao Yi turned to look at her. He asked, "Madam, I want you to answer a question of mine."
Yun Zhiqiu nodded. "Speak. If Husband wants to know, I will tell you everything I know."
Miao Yi turned around. Looking straight at her, he enunciated each word clearly, "If one day, I and the Yun Family reach the point where only one of us can survive, will you stand on my side or the Yun Family's side?"
Yun Zhiqiu locked eyes with him. Looking at his gaze, which was different from usual, determined and resolute, this was his true self.
"Actually, Third Aunt's words have already answered my question," Yun Zhiqiu sighed.
Miao Yi frowned, thinking about Yun Xia's previous words, he couldn't remember what he had said, "I don't understand."
Yun Zhiqiu took his hands in hers and said, "Third Aunt has made it very clear. The Yun family is the Yun family, and the Miao family is the Miao family. Since ancient times, a woman who marries a chicken follows the chicken, and a woman who marries a dog follows the dog. Since I had married into the Miao Family, I was now a member of the Miao Family. My grandfather had made it very clear that the Yun Family's resources would not be given to me easily. Everything depended on our own efforts. If there really comes a day where you stand against the Yun Family, I will naturally stand by your side without any hesitation, because I have my own descendants that I need to protect. If the Yun Family, in order to protect their hegemony, harms the interests of my descendants, or kills them, there is no need for you to go against the Yun Family. I will also be the first to stand against the Yun Family. I can't just watch my children and grandchildren die at the hands of the Yun Family. So, Niu Er, you have to be clear about one thing. I have already married you, and I am now a member of the Miao Family first. The Yun Family comes second. But you also have to understand that we are our own people, and I will not allow others to threaten the safety of the Yun Family. At least for now, whether you are willing to admit it or not, the Yun Family's existence is more or less a form of protection for us. Actually, I also hope that the Miao Family will become stronger than the Yun Family. At the very least, no matter how strong the Miao Family is, I can still protect the Yun Family as long as I am around. However, others will not show any mercy to the Yun Family. This is my honest opinion, and I have never lied to you in any way. "
Miao Yi was very satisfied with this answer, and the worry in his heart finally disappeared. He pulled her into his embrace and gently kissed her on the forehead. "With these words, even if something happens in the future, I will accept it. I will never hide anything from you in the future."
After releasing her, he took out two crystal coins, one red and one purple, and placed them in her palm. "Have you seen it before?"
Yun Zhiqiu's eyes widened in shock. The object looked exactly the same as a crystal coin, but its color … She examined it carefully and confirmed that it was its original color, not dyed. "Could this be a crystal coin?"
Miao Yi nodded. "There are Purple Crystals above Gold Crystals, and Red Crystals above Purple Crystals. It's just that the Small Realm doesn't have them."
Yun Zhiqiu was shocked. "Could these be from the Higher Realm?"
Miao Yi nodded. "These celestial apricots are from the Higher Realm as well. To fulfill the promise I made to you in a thousand years, I risked my life and went to the Higher Realm. After that, I brought the Four Hosts there with me. We stole these celestial apricots, and we were almost trapped in the Higher Realm because of it."
"You've been to the Higher Realm?" Yun Zhiqiu asked in disbelief. "How is that possible?"
Miao Yi pointed at the object in her hand. "Isn't this proof enough? If they didn't have something that could attract the Four Hosts, why would they stand up against the Boundless Realm when I stole you? Do you still remember the time I gave you a dressing table? On my way to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, I met the Shaman. He coincidentally found the Netherdragon Ship, and we made a deal. After that, he brought me to the Higher Realm … "
He briefly told her how he found the Apricot Orchard in the Higher Realm, and how he led the Four Hosts to the Higher Realm to rob it.
Yun Zhiqiu was both shocked and touched. She was touched by the fact that this man was willing to do whatever it took to fulfill his promise of a thousand years ago. He was willing to risk his life for her. When she heard about Xing Garden being trapped, she was truly frightened. She hugged him tightly and asked, "Niu Er, how many more secrets are you hiding?"
"I have too many secrets. For example, I have a shop on the busiest Celestial Street in the Higher Realm. I own twenty percent of the shares in that shop, and that's my backup plan. If we can't survive in the Lower Realm, we can go to the Higher Realm. You don't know how prosperous Celestial Street is. There are only things you can't imagine, and nothing you can't buy. Flowing Clouds Dune Sea isn't even worthy of carrying its shoes. You don't know how lively it is when I'm doing business. "Miao Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter as he spoke.
Yun Zhiqiu was fascinated. She never imagined that her man had already set foot in a place that the Six Sages could only dream of. "Niu Er, take me to the Higher Realm when we have the chance."
Miao Yi stroked her back and said, "Of course, but not for now. We just robbed something from the Heavenly Court. I'm afraid it's time for a strict investigation. Let's lie low for now."
Yun Zhiqiu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly separated from him. "Doesn't that mean the Four Hosts also know the way to the Higher Realm?"
"They haven't even figured it out yet. They ran away immediately after they tried to rob it. They don't even know what the situation is like in the Higher Realm. Even if they know, it's useless because they can't go. If they could go, they wouldn't have become sworn brothers with me. Alright, we still have guests to entertain. Now isn't the time to talk about this. We'll talk about it later. "Miao Yi took her hand and left together.
They had just gotten married, so there were many people and matters to deal with. The two of them couldn't avoid each other even if they wanted to.
The two of them then went to see Zhao Fei, Wu Menglan, Sikong Wuwei, Gu Sanzheng, Ye Xin, Tan Lao, Huo Lingxiao, Wen Fang, Lin Pingping, and the others. Miao Yi told Yun Zhiqiu about his relationship with them one by one.
This woman would have to live with him for the rest of her life. It was better to let her know what she needed to know. Otherwise, with this woman's strong personality and her love of being a housekeeper, she would definitely mess things up if she didn't understand the situation.
After sending these people off, there were no other guests left except for a few juniors of the Yun Clan.
Yun Zhiqiu then summoned Yang Qing and gave him a sum of money. She ordered Yang Qing to distribute the money for her wedding. Regardless of their cultivation, every official within the Sun Palace would be given ten thousand Gold Crystals.
There were more than a hundred thousand official cultivators within the Sun Palace. In other words, she had distributed at least a billion Gold Crystals. Miao Yi felt his heart ache a little, but he didn't say anything. This woman was happy about her wedding and wanted her subordinates to bask in her glory. It was also a way for her to openly declare her status as the Mistress of Sun Palace to her subordinates.
Yun Zhiqiu then asked Yang Qing what they should do next for the Sun Palace.
Yang Qing believed that the Sun Palace wouldn't be too difficult to handle. All they had to do was manage the internal affairs. Basically, there wouldn't be any external threats. He admitted that he was most worried about the two of them right now. They were involved with the Realm Beyond Heaven from the Celestial Nation, and they had such close ties with the Devil Nation. They were even sworn brothers with the Four Constellation Masters of the Sea of Constellations, yet they were still enemies. He sincerely wanted to know what was going on behind the scenes. Why would the Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun arrange a wedding?
Miao Yi admitted that he didn't understand the situation either. He had been worrying about this matter all this time, and it wasn't convenient for him to reveal his relationship with Yue Yao.
Yang Qing was also unlucky. He would never be able to figure out what Miao Yi was hiding behind the scenes. Unfortunately, he was Miao Yi's Head Steward.
So he could only advise Miao Yi to keep a low profile. He repeatedly begged Miao Yi to keep a low profile. 'Even if you want to cause trouble, you should at least raise your own strength first. What's the point of being controlled by others every time?'
Yun Zhiqiu agreed and promised to supervise Miao Yi's cultivation.
Afterwards, he talked about Yang Qing's past with Miao Yi. After hearing about Yang Qing's various methods, Yun Zhiqiu couldn't help but sigh.
The Yun clansmen couldn't possibly stay here for too long. Mainly, there was no point in playing here for too long. After a few days, they also said their goodbyes.
Before they left, Yun Zhiqiu pulled Yun Ruoshuang into his room for a chat. "Shuang 'er, I've noticed that something's not right with you lately. Why are you always so listless?"
Yun Ruoshuang lowered her head and said slowly, "I'm being watched too closely now. I'm afraid I won't be able to come out and play again when I go back."
"You're not telling the truth, are you? Are you the kind of person who would worry about something like that? As long as you're out, you'll definitely make the most of your time. You definitely won't be like this. If there's anything you need, tell me. Big Sis might be able to help. "Yun Zhiqiu smiled.
Yun Ruoshuang pouted. "I'm afraid Big Sis won't be happy if I tell you."
Yun Zhiqiu grabbed her hand. "It doesn't matter if you're happy or not. I promise I won't be angry at you."
Yun Ruoshuang raised her head to confirm. "Really?"
Yun Zhiqiu nodded affirmatively.
