Seeing that Qin Weiwei had really come here to wait for him, Miao Yi could only smile helplessly and ask, "You came alone?"
Qin Weiwei replied, "Yes!"
"Was the journey smooth?"
"Safe journey, very smooth!"
Miao Yi didn't say much. Instead, he gave Lin Pingping a slight nod in greeting and said, "We can talk about this later. Since I'm already here, I shall first head to the golden hall to pay my respects to the Overlord!"
"Understood!" The two of them cupped their fists and watched as Miao Yi's figure flashed as he flew towards the top of the mountain.
This scene caused Qin Weiwei to feel a little emotional. Back then, that little Steed Deputy, that little Cave Master, had now become someone who could pay a visit to the Overlord at any time. And the people he befriended were mostly people of high status, such as the Four Overlords of the Sea of Constellations. Witnessing the prosperity of the capital city at the foot of the mountain, her heart was filled with emotion, as though she was in a dream.
"Hall Master Qin!" Lin Pingping turned to the side and extended her hand to invite Qin Weiwei in. Her attitude was very polite. Now, everyone in the imperial residence knew that this Hall Mistress Qin had a very good relationship with the Palace Lord's wife. She was not someone to be offended easily.
"No need! I want to see the scenery of the capital city from outside. " Qin Weiwei tactfully declined and slowly walked to the pavilion at the edge of the mountain. She gazed at the picturesque city that was connected by mountains and rivers, feeling a little relaxed and happy.
This kind of scenery was not something that could be seen in a place like the Sun Palace. Although the mountain scenery of the Sun Palace was charming, it lacked the atmosphere of the mortal world. To put it bluntly, it was just a deep mountain forest, unlike this otherworldly place that complemented the prosperity of the world. The perfect combination could only be described as heaven on earth.
Previously, she didn't know when Miao Yi would come, so she wasn't in the mood to enjoy the scenery. Now that she was relieved, she had the leisure to do so.
Miao Yi climbed the ranks of the Fifth Earthly Branch very quickly. Qin Weiwei didn't know whether or not Miao Yi would one day become the master of this Celestial Realm on Earth. Actually, it wasn't that far off. The Palace Lord and the Overlord were only a step apart.
Lin Pingping quickly came out with tea and placed it in the pavilion …
Outside the golden hall at the top of the mountain, Elder Auntie Chang Huan leisurely walked out. She smiled and extended her hand in invitation. "Palace Master Miao, the Overlord requests your presence!"
"Thank you for your trouble, Elder Auntie." Miao Yi cupped his fists in thanks, then casually handed over a storage ring.
Chang Huan accepted it with a smile. He turned around and extended his hand.
After waiting for a while, he saw Yue Tianbo, who was leading Chang Huan and Chang Le, appear in the room above the golden hall.
Miao Yi cupped his fists and said, "Your humble servant greets the Overlord!"
Yue Tianbo, who had just sat down, reached out to help him up. He smiled and said, "Palace Lord Miao, you are really living a carefree life as a Palace Lord. It's been a few hundred years, and I haven't seen you show your bottom half. "
Miao Yi sighed. "I wish I could come often, but I can't help it."
Yue Tianbo was a little annoyed. He didn't even need to ask to know what she was going to say next. Yun Zhiqiu had already used the same words against him countless times, hinting at him to accept the Realm Beyond Heaven's mission. He was carrying out some secret decree.
Logically speaking, Yue Tianbo had to think of a way to get rid of him for being so close to the Realm Beyond Avalon. Otherwise, he would threaten his position. However, deep down, he understood that Mu Fanjun and Yun Aotian were sworn enemies. She definitely had other plans for doing this, and it was unlikely that she would put Miao Yi in an important position. As such, he had always tolerated him.
Thinking of this, Yue Tianbo smiled. "Then why are you in the mood to appear this time?"
"Overlord, your words terrify me!" Miao Yi replied politely, then continued, "I'm here regarding the Exquisite Refinement Sect's Transcendent Artifacts competition. I hope to receive the Overlord's approval to allow me to go and take a look! "
He had no choice. He had obtained the Realm Beyond Heaven's permission to interact with the Sea of Constellations. Otherwise, as one of the ten great feudal vassals, he wouldn't be allowed to trespass without permission from his superiors. He had no choice but to ask Yue Tianbo for permission. Otherwise, it wouldn't be right for him to suddenly appear in the Boundless Nation.
'After killing Feng Beichen's grandson and stealing his granddaughter-in-law, you still dare to go to the Boundless Nation?' Yue Tianbo looked at him in surprise. Of course, he didn't say this out loud. Instead, he furrowed his brows and said, "Miao Yi. I don't think I need to remind you of your relationship with the Boundless Nation. I'm afraid the consequences will be dire if you go. You better think this through. "
Miao Yi replied, "It's fine! As long as the Overlord agrees. I will immediately invite the Four Hosts of the Sea of Constellations to lead their forces there! "
"..." Yue Tianbo was speechless. He realized that this bastard really didn't care about his relationship with the Sea of Constellations. After pondering for a moment, he said, "How about this? I want to go as well. I was just about to ask the Realm Beyond Heaven. Let's wait a few days and see how the Realm Beyond Heaven responds. "
"Understood!" Miao Yi agreed. It didn't matter if they agreed or not. He was only here to ask for their opinion. If they agreed, then so be it. Even if they didn't, he would still head there with his disguise. At worst, he would just give up his position as the Palace Lord and go to the Middle Constellations Palace to be his own Host. What could the Eight Directional Formation do to him then? He didn't have as many reservations as Yun Zhiqiu, who insisted on protecting the Sun Traversing Palace's territory. If Little Sister wasn't in Mu Fanjun's hands, he would've done so a long time ago.
He only listened to Yun Zhiqiu's words at home. To put it bluntly, he was just accommodating her. Now that he was out, he would still do what he was supposed to do. He had completely forgotten about the Madam's advice before she left. It wasn't his style at all.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Miao Yi took his leave. Before he left, he asked Changle to speak with him in private and handed her another storage ring. He couldn't just give one away but not the other. Even though he had forgotten about the Madam's advice, he still had his own way of doing things. He would try his best to maintain a good relationship with her even if they didn't fall out.
When they returned to the manor that Lin Pingping had rented for a long time, Lin Pingping said that she had already arranged for a new residence and asked for the Palace Lord to move in.
She was the only one living here. It wouldn't be able to accommodate too many people, and it didn't suit her status as a Palace Lord.
When they arrived at the manor on the mountain, Miao Yi could look into the distance. The scenery of the capital city was naturally much better. Lin Pingping and Qin Weiwei looked around the place, while Miao Yi paced around the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
He was thinking about something. If he had the chance, he really had to have a good talk with his Little Sister. He wanted to see what her intentions were, and whether she was on Mu Fanjun's side or on him, her big brother's side. Otherwise, with his Little Sister in Mu Fanjun's hands, he would always be tied up. Otherwise, he wouldn't be under someone else's control here.
Even if he didn't just throw everything away and become his own Middle Constellation Palace, he could still seek refuge in the Devil Nation if that didn't work out!
"Little Sister, oh, Little Sister …" Miao Yi let out a long sigh. He couldn't help but picture Yue Yao curled up under a thin blanket in the middle of winter, complaining about the cold and hunger. Her face was sallow and her body emaciated. In that instant, Miao Yi almost burst into tears. He couldn't help but slap the huge tree beside him, lowering his head and closing his eyes. When his Little Sister's parents took him in, they didn't let him freeze or starve. However, after that, he didn't take good care of his Little Sister. It could be said that the guilt that filled his heart was hard to erase.
"Milord! What's wrong? " He didn't know when Qin Weiwei had arrived beside him, but she asked cautiously, "Did something happen to the Overlord?"
When he turned around and saw that it was her, Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "No! I just remembered something else. Oh right. Have you been to the capital city before? "
Qin Weiwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could he not have been here before? She replied, "I accompanied Madam to pay the annual tribute the last time."
"Oh!" Miao Yi raised his hand and slapped his forehead, realizing that he had misspoken. "I was thinking that if you had never been here before, I would have taken you to see the scenery of the capital city. I was the one who made a mistake. "
Qin Weiwei secretly gritted her teeth and replied, "Previously, my cultivation was limited, and it was difficult for me to blend in with the crowd, so I didn't have the chance to take a good look at the capital city. If Milord is in the mood, I am willing to accompany Milord on a tour!"
Miao Yi chuckled. He had already lost count of how many times he had seen it. What was there to tour about? However, he nodded his head and said, "We will be staying here for a few days anyway. Before we came, Madam also told me to bring you around to broaden your horizons. It just so happens that I am going out to meet some people. I won't be in the capital city for many years either. Let's go together and see if there are any changes."
The two of them walked around the courtyard a few times, then left together.
Lin Pingping originally wanted to accompany them, but Qin Weiwei made her stay behind. After being in a position of authority for so long, her words and actions had become much more decisive. Compared to the Qin Weiwei of the past, she didn't allow Lin Pingping to refuse, and left with Miao Yi by herself.
After leaving the courtyard, Miao Yi brought Qin Weiwei to visit his former colleagues when he was a Deacon of the Golden Hall. He even sat across from the Governor of the Martial Manor, Lan Hou, and drank a few cups of wine. Now, he had the qualifications to sit on equal footing with Lan Hou. Even when he was meeting with the Advisors and Deacons of Jade Capital Peak, he didn't forget to introduce Qin Weiwei to his colleagues, so that they could take care of her if anything happened in the future.
It didn't take much for him to verbally greet them, so they were naturally full of pleasantries.
After leaving Jade Capital Peak, he brought Qin Weiwei to see Uncle Hua. After leaving Uncle Hua's house … After leaving Uncle Hua's residence, the sky was already dark. The two of them rented a flower-decorated boat and traveled along the water lane, all the way to the surface of the great river.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Miao Yi stood with his hands behind his back, admiring the dazzling lights on both sides of the river. No one knew what he was thinking.
The night was slightly chilly. A fragrant scent assailed his nostrils, and a white shawl was already draped over his shoulders. Miao Yi turned around and saw Qin Weiwei with a nervous expression on her face. Her hands were trembling as she helped him tidy up the shawl. Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "How could I trouble a Hall Master like you to do something like this? You and I are friends. There's no need to do this. It's too much! "
Qin Weiwei forced herself to reply, "Before we left, Madam repeatedly briefed me on Milord's lifestyle. She ordered me to take good care of Milord's basic necessities!"
Yun Zhiqiu didn't actually ask her to do this. It was just that when Miao Yi came out on a cold day, she would often have someone quickly drape a shawl over his shoulders. She didn't know how she had learned to do it. She didn't have Miao Yi's shawl with her, so the one she took out was for her own use.
Miao Yi chuckled and said, "You've been taken care of since you were young. How would you know how to take care of others? There's no hierarchy here, only friends. You don't have to be so reserved. You're making me feel uncomfortable all over! "
After being told that she didn't know how to take care of others, Qin Weiwei bit her lip in embarrassment. She replied yes, then stood to one side and didn't say another word.
Miao Yi didn't take off the shawl on his shoulders. He only looked at it and realized that it was probably Qin Weiwei's own shawl. He also felt that his tone earlier might have been a little too condescending, causing her to not dare to make a sound. He couldn't help but smile to dissolve the awkwardness. "Weiwei, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. You're still single. Have you never thought of getting married?"
Qin Weiwei had a complicated expression on her face as she said, "I've reached a point where I'm neither qualified nor qualified. I'm afraid no one will want me anymore."
Miao Yi chuckled and said, "That's a little too much. It's possible that I'm not qualified, but I'm afraid it's impossible that I'm not qualified. Just tell me who you've taken a fancy to. It's not the first time I've played matchmaker. You know Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan, right? I'm the one who brought them together. I'll find an opportunity to play matchmaker for you. I'll definitely get them for you. Which one have you taken a fancy to? "
Qin Weiwei gazed gently at the surface of the lake as the night breeze brushed past. She looked at the floating boats in front of her and smiled. "I've already missed my chance! The one I've taken a fancy to is already married. "
"Already married?" Miao Yi pondered for a moment. "That's not easy to handle. I can't possibly go and separate them, can I? Besides, your father will definitely not allow you to become someone else's concubine. Weiwei, you don't have to be so fixated on one person. There are many good men in this world. Why don't you set your sights a little further? There's bound to be someone you like. "
PS: It's the end of the month again. It's time to ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket for tomorrow! The east wind blows, the war drums of others beat, and our little trumpet blows. I only ask for this once a month, so it's not too much. If I ask for too much, I'm afraid everyone will get annoyed. I'll reserve a guaranteed monthly ticket for tomorrow first. Please, everyone! They bowed!
