(PS: I have something to do. I'll update it today! I see that people often ask about Jia Geng. Let me finish my fifteenth!)
Speaking up to this point, there was something that Ming Zhao had to ask. He could understand what happened with the Blood Demon, but he couldn't understand why the Hero Ensemble would so blatantly try to deal with Miao Yi. "As far as I know, the Vitality Sect also has people who are officials in the Heaven Court. Since you're in the Vitality Sect, why didn't you join the Vitality Sect? Instead, you became a guest scholar. If you became a disciple of the Vitality Sect, the Hero Ensemble wouldn't dare to go against you so blatantly."
There was no way Miao Yi could explain this to Ming Zhao. Reverend Yuling had already asked him to become a disciple of the Vitality Sect, and he would have a master or something similar above his head. With the way the Vitality Sect operated, it was only a matter of time before he became a traitorous disciple. Their relationship as master and disciple wasn't something to be trifled with. It was something that would last a lifetime. Unless he was forced into a corner, there was no need for him to harm both himself and others. Miao Yi could only give a perfunctory reply, "I already have a master who taught me. How can I join another sect?"
This was also a great principle, so Ming Zhao didn't have much else to say. He had no choice but to bid farewell to Elder Mu Sen again. Soon after, the three Senior and Junior Brothers shielded Miao Yi as they soared into the sky. They left the Firmament Overlooking the Stars, and flew far away as though they were chasing after the stars and the moon.
On a dead celestial body that rotated along with Jupiter, five cultivators stood up one after another and exchanged glances with each other. Just like that, they could only watch as Miao Yi was taken away, not daring to stop him...
After arriving at the Skytraversing Palace, Miao Yi accompanied Ming Zhao and the others to pay a visit to Sect Master Fu Xian to express his gratitude.
Of course, after thanking him, Miao Yi didn't forget his most important goal. He asked, "Sect Master, do you still have the treasure map that Zhongli Kuai obtained?"
As soon as he said that, Ming Zhao and the others immediately looked over, wondering why he said that.
"I'm here!" Fu Xian raised his hand and stroked his short beard. He stared at him with a burning gaze and asked, "Could it be that you haven't given up yet?"
Miao Yi muttered, "I just feel that there's something fishy about this. Could it be that we've found the wrong place? There might be many similar places in the vast universe. I wonder how your esteemed sect can be so sure that the place shown on the star chart is definitely the region of Jupiter?"
So that was how it was! Fu Xian thought he had discovered something else, so he turned around and said to Ming Zhao with a smile, "Fifth Shidi, I still have something to do. Bring him to rest first, and at the same time, clear up his doubts. "
"Yes!" Ming Zhao accepted the order. He also understood that his Senior Brother, as the Sect Master of the Skytraversing Palace, was a little condescending to Miao Yi. It wasn't that he was looking down on Miao Yi. It was because he didn't want others to look down on the Skyair Palace. After all, his senior brother was the Sect Master, and he represented the face of the Skyair Palace.
Miao Yi understood this logic as well, but he still didn't know what was good for him.
After leaving the Manager's Hall, Ming Zhao instructed his disciples to find a courtyard for Miao Yi to stay in. Seeing that the two of them had some degree of friendship, Miao Yi didn't seem too impatient. He took out the copy of the map that seemed useless to him and spread it out on the table. He explained to Miao Yi, "It's hard to decipher this map, but at the same time, it's not that hard either. It's just that both of us made the wrong choice in the beginning. We searched the entire world for a star chart to match. The vastness of the universe really made things difficult for us. However, he later discovered that the size of the star chart was limited. The area drawn was very large, but the number of celestial bodies didn't seem to be enough. Only then did we realize that the creator of the map didn't even draw those random and unnecessary celestial bodies on the map. This was a simple map, which proved that they wouldn't hide the treasure in an unknown area. Naturally, the rest was easy. "
Ming Zhao pointed at a red dot and said, "First, we found the main star like the sun, then the secondary star revolving around it, and finally the auxiliary star revolving around the secondary star. We compared the number of secondary stars around the main star, then the number of auxiliary stars around the secondary star. With such a clear reference, the search area was immediately reduced and simplified. "He moved his finger to Jupiter's location. "And so, we quickly locked onto our target. It turns out that the treasure was hidden on Jupiter in the Fringe Lands! Do you understand now? "
"Is that so! I understand now … "Miao Yi nodded. He understood now, and it could be said that he had learned a lot. However, he still broke out in a cold sweat. Even though this method was much simpler than comparing the stars in the vast universe, it was still difficult for him. He didn't have much influence in the higher realms, and there were many suns in the vast universe. This treasure map was basically forcing him to learn more about the higher realms!
Ming Zhao smiled. Comparing their statuses and cultivation levels, he was already being extremely benevolent toward Miao Yi. He couldn't possibly keep playing with Miao Yi all the time, and the two of them didn't have much in common. As he folded up the map on the table, he said, "The Great Ensemble won't dare to come here and cause trouble. The Skytraversing Palace is still able to provide you with some food and lodging. Feel free to stay here. If you need anything, you can look for Zhongli Kuai. I won't be keeping you company."
I won't be keeping you company. "Given Ming Zhao's status, Miao Yi had already troubled him a lot. Miao Yi wasn't that ignorant. He immediately cupped his fists and thanked Ming Zhao. However, when his gaze fell upon a screen in the side hall, he was instantly stunned. He realized that the drawing on the screen looked a little familiar.
Ming Zhao turned his head to take a look, then smiled and said, "This is a map of the Skytraversing Palace area. It's for the guests to see so that they can have a destination when they come for a stroll. Take a look and see if there's any place you'd like to explore. You can ask Zhongli Kuai to accompany you. "
Miao Yi quickly retracted his gaze and cupped his fists, saying, "Please forgive me for being shameless. I'm very dissatisfied that I couldn't find the treasure. So, I would like to ask Senior to leave behind the replica treasure map so that I can study it in detail. Would that be possible?"
Ming Zhao pondered for a moment. However, after some thought, he realized that it was useless anyway, so he took out the map again and placed it on the table.
After they left, Ming Zhao shook his head. He could understand Miao Yi's feelings. The Skytraversing Palace had promised to give him half of the treasure after they found it. In the end, he couldn't find it. Naturally, he was dissatisfied. It wasn't hard to understand why he still held onto a glimmer of hope.
Miao Yi personally sent Ming Zhao to the door, then immediately hurried back, as though he had something urgent to attend to. Unexpectedly, Zhongli Kuai, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately rushed over to stop Miao Yi when he saw Ming Zhao leave. "Niu Youde, why did you go back to Jupiter? Don't tell me you still haven't given up and went on another treasure hunt?"
Zhongli Kuai was right, but how could Miao Yi admit it? Naturally, he repeated what he told Ming Zhao, saying that he was forced back by the Great Ensemble.
"It looks like the Great Ensemble has really made its move!" Zhongli Kuai pulled at his beard and furrowed his brows, "You're in deep trouble now. Once the Great Ensemble makes its move, it won't stop until it succeeds. This organization is very powerful, with good and bad people mixed in. There are people from all walks of life in the cultivation realm. I'm afraid it's the biggest organization in the entire cultivation realm. If it wasn't a loose organization, even the Celestial Court would have to be wary of it, let alone our Skytraversing Palace."
Miao Yi was troubled by his words! He smiled bitterly, "Why would the Celestial Court allow such an organization to exist? Once they really join forces, aren't they afraid of threatening the Celestial Court?"
Zhongli Kuai placed his hands behind his back, walked to the side, and bent down to sniff the blooming flowers. He scoffed, "Unless the Huangfu Clan is stupid, why don't you try asking them to join forces? I'm afraid the Celestial Court will immediately know about it before they can even make their move. They will send their troops to uproot the Huangfu Clan and kill them all!"
Miao Yi blinked, then walked to his side and asked curiously, "Big Beard, are you saying that there are spies from the Celestial Court in the Great Ensemble?"
Zhongli Kuai chuckled, "Isn't that obvious? It's such a huge organization with all sorts of people. It would be strange if the Celestial Court didn't plant spies in. I'm afraid even the Huangfu Clan wouldn't dare to confirm who is from the Celestial Court and who isn't. Even if they knew, they wouldn't dare to investigate. Do you think the Celestial Court can still tolerate the spies from the Great Ensemble? In the end, the Great Ensemble is actually a part of the Celestial Court from a certain point of view. The world is so big, and the Celestial Army and Celestial Generals alone can't control everything. The Celestial Court needs an organization like the Great Ensemble that can extend its reach into all sorts of corners that it can't reach. The Huangfu Clan is actually the Celestial Emperor's secret lackeys. Without the Celestial Court's connivance, the Great Ensemble wouldn't have been able to develop to such a large scale. In short, the Celestial Court is the one who does the honorable things. As for those shady things, they naturally have to be carried out by those shady lackeys. "
Hearing this, Miao Yi seemed to understand something. No wonder Xiahou Longcheng and Kou Wenlan seemed to have a strong background. Although they both liked Huangfu Jun. Although they both liked Huangfu Jun, no one dared to do anything to Huangfu Jun. It turned out that Y was afraid of the Celestial Emperor behind the Huangfu Clan!
Then, he heard Zhongli Kuai say, "Aren't you acquainted with a woman from the Huangfu Clan? Haven't you heard of the Huangfu Clan's rule? The women of the Huangfu Clan are never allowed to marry out of the clan. Only men are allowed to marry into the clan. "
Miao Yi nodded. "I've heard of it. Could there be some inside story?"
Zhongli Kuai clicked his tongue. "After saying so much, why don't you understand? The Huangfu Clan is the Celestial Emperor's personal lackeys. Without the Celestial Emperor's approval, who would dare to untie the rope around their necks? What if the secrets of the shady things that the Celestial Emperor secretly ordered them to do were leaked? "
Miao Yi was instantly dazed. He finally understood. He finally understood. 'Huangfu Jun?' Why did Y refuse to marry him even after sleeping with him? Instead, he insisted on marrying into the clan. So it was because of Huangfu Jun? Y had no choice!
Coming back to his senses, Miao Yi asked curiously, "Since the Great Ensemble is so powerful, why does the Skytraversing Palace still dare to protect me? Aren't you afraid of the Celestial Emperor?"
Zhongli Kuai said, "Don't ask about that. It's not my place to answer."
"How do you know about the inside story of the Celestial Emperor and the Great Ensemble?" Miao Yi looked him up and down. "You already knew about this? Why didn't you remind me before? Why did you have to wait until I caused a huge ruckus before reminding me?! "
Zhongli Kuai was silent for a moment. In the end, he said with great difficulty, "I didn't know about it two hours ago. It was my master who told me to tell you. He told me to give you a piece of advice. You won't be able to keep the twenty percent share of the Morality Sundry Goods Store! Although the Skytraversing Palace isn't afraid of the Great Ensemble, as the Sect Leader, my master has to think for the entire Skytraversing Palace. He can only protect you for a while. He can't keep going against the Great Ensemble for you forever. After all, the Great Ensemble has already given the Skytraversing Palace enough respect. They've lowered their stance so much that they wouldn't dare to offend them. This is already the bottom line. It's impossible to make them kneel again. You have to plan ahead! "
