After giving instructions to his subordinates, Kou Wenlan left the governor's office and headed straight for the Hall of Heroes.
As the saying goes, enemies meet on a narrow road. Xiahou Longcheng just came out and saw him. He deliberately blocked Kou Wenlan's path and sneered, "Sissy, what are you doing here?"
"Xiahou bear, I can go wherever I want. Don't tell me you're the one who opened the Hall of Heroes?"
"Don't forget whose territory this is!"
"Stinky bear, I'll let you go this time for the sake of the mayor. I advise you not to look for trouble."
"I wonder who's letting who go this time!" Xiahou Longcheng snorted in disdain. However, he stepped aside and strode away. It couldn't be helped. Lady Biyue had already said that the two of them should settle the matter regarding the Black King. Before that, the two of them were not to cause any more trouble, and the two of them agreed.
Xiahou Longcheng had just left when Kou Wenlan came again. Huangfujun? Y had a headache. He welcomed the guest with a smile and sat down in the pavilion. After serving tea, Huangfujun? Y sighed, "Commander Kou, what brings you here today?"
Kou Wenlan smiled, "I'm here for the reason that bear came. Jun? Y, there's no need to hide things between us. I'll be frank with you. Use the power of the Hall of Heroes to help me find the whereabouts of the Ghost King! "
Huangfujun? Y frowned, "Did you get the wrong person? If even the Heavenly Court can't find him, how can we?"
Kou Wenlan, who took a sip of tea, gently wiped his lips with a handkerchief and shook his head, "Why play dumb? You and I both know what the Hall of Heroes is for. The Heavenly Court is in the light, and you're in the dark. In the dark corners that the Heavenly Court can't see, the members of the Hall of Heroes are probably there. We're friends, it's just a small favor!"
Huangfujun? Y: "Since you've said this much, you should understand that if we really want to use the Hall of Heroes to find the Ghost King, you won't be the one to ask. The higher-ups have already said that unless they're forced to, they will never use the Hall of Heroes. Otherwise, if they use the Hall of Heroes for everything, what's the point of having you celestial soldiers and generals? He used the Great Ensemble for everything. Once everyone in the world knows about the Great Ensemble, then there would be no need for the Great Ensemble to exist anymore. You didn't look for your Kou Clan's forces to help you search, but instead came to me. You've really found the wrong person. "
Kou Wenlan: "The more power we have, the more likely it is that we will find it sooner. Jun? Y, you won't really not help me, right? "
Huang Fujun? Y shook his head. "Kou Wenlan, you've overestimated me. Putting aside the fact that I can't make a decision on this matter, even if I can, have you ever thought … since you know who the Hero Assembly listens to, if even your Kou Clan can make use of the Hero Assembly, that person would be fearful. Let alone the Hero Assembly, I'm afraid your Kou Clan will also face a calamity of destruction. You're from a big family, so I'm sure you've heard of the consequences of violating the taboo. Heaven's might is unpredictable, do you really want to bear such consequences? If it were your family's old man, he definitely wouldn't look for the Hero Assembly for this matter. You … Since we're friends, forgive me for being blunt, but you and Xiahou Longcheng are used to having no taboos. The moment you left home, you immediately became a district commander. You lack experience and even dare to look down on your immediate superior, Madam Biyue, no matter how powerful your background is. That's not right either. It's true that Madam Biyue can't do anything to you, but no one in the Heavenly Court will like such unruly people. After all, your family's old man can't hide the truth from the masses. Don't ruin your own future. That's why I said your experience in this area is still too shallow. You should learn from your family's old man. Don't touch things that you shouldn't touch. I can't help you with this! "
The latter part of his words already carried a hint of reprimand, but Kou Wenlan fell silent. After a long time, she nodded and said, "I've learned my lesson. Pretend I never mentioned this!" She cupped her fists and left …
Miao Yi didn't know how long it would take for Kou Wenlan to find news of the Black King. A month later, Yun Zhiqiu arrived with her men.
She brought the scholar, the chef, Qian'Er, Xue'Er, and a few other employees from Tempest Tavern. They were all reliable people. Even though the other employees from Tempest Tavern were also reliable, she couldn't bring them all. There were still people stationed in the small world, and the people she brought were prepared to stay there for a long period of time.
Yao Ruoxian also came from Planet Formless. After receiving news of Yun Zhiqiu's arrival, Miao Yi had the Righteousness Sect send Yao Ruoxian to outer space. After that, Yun Zhiqiu secretly brought him along when she passed by.
The shop had to be refurbished and refurbished, so Miao Yi naturally had to come and take a look. As soon as he entered the shop, he saw Yun Zhiqiu gesticulating about what to do here and there. In any case, she was the Lady Boss, and everything had to be done according to her wishes.
When the others saw Miao Yi, their reactions were mixed with mixed feelings. The scholar and the chef sighed, not knowing what to say. This kid had always been so elusive in the small world. So it turned out that he had already made a name for himself in the legendary higher realm. He even became a third-division general of the Heavenly Court.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er, on the other hand, had looks of admiration on their faces. In their eyes, Miao Yi had always been an omnipotent existence. They still believed that Miao Yi would have a bright future in the higher realm.
However, on the way here, Yun Zhiqiu had told them to keep a certain distance from Miao Yi. The situation in the higher realm was complicated.
Miao Yi simply smiled and nodded at the crowd. When he saw Qian'Er and Xue'Er, however, he felt a little conflicted. This was because there was no such thing as personal handmaidens in the higher realm. He wondered if the two girls would have other thoughts after staying in the higher realm for too long.
"You're getting busy already?" Miao Yi chuckled and avoided the crowd with Yun Zhiqiu.
When they reached the upper floor, Yun Zhiqiu counted on her fingers and said, "There are many things to do, and many places to spend money. I've brought Charcoal and those mantises with me. It's not a good idea to keep them here, and it's not a good idea to leave them with someone else. I'm afraid I'll have to buy a Blessed Paradise. And Yao Ruoxian. If he were to refine artifacts here, I'm afraid there wouldn't be enough houses for him to burn. He'll have to buy a Blessed Paradise. But I've seen one in the Celestial Avenue before. It's a little expensive. "
Miao Yi nodded. He had seen a Blessed Paradise before. It was something similar to a storage space, but not something like a storage ring. The people in the Blessed Paradise could live a normal life. For example, the Heavenly Court would appoint officials to oversee a region. Even the smallest officials, such as the Earth God and the City God, would be provided by the Heavenly Court. Therefore, even though a small Earth God's temple was smaller than a cooking stove, there was actually a whole other world inside.
However, only the officials in charge of a region had it. Miao Yi, whose rank was higher than the Earth God and the City God, didn't have it. Only Commanders like Kou Wenlan had it.
He had once thought about snatching some 'grotto-heavens' from some land gods and city gods. Later, after asking around, he found out that the 'grotto-heavens' of the officials of the Heavenly Courts were different from those sold in shops. Those were custom-made. The Orbs of Will and the like didn't need to be handed over in person. Inside, there were transcendent artifacts that could store Orbs of Will. Depending on how much they were treated, the Orbs of Will would be automatically transferred from the Heavenly Court to their respective territories to be gathered into Orbs of Will.
It was also because of this that these grotto-heavens and blessed lands could not be used even if they were snatched. The Heavenly Courts could know where the stolen grotto-heavens and blessed lands were at any time and could accurately find them. Unless you were to refine the Blessed Paradise that you stole. But if you had the ability to refine it, who would take the risk to steal it?
The shops on Celestial Street also sold them, but they were a little expensive. A small one with a small space was worth a hundred billion Red Crystals, and those with a large space were even more expensive. Most cultivators couldn't earn that much money in their entire lives, so not many could afford it.
Miao Yi smiled. "Buy a few if you can use them. Otherwise, it'll be inconvenient for us to sneak around. After all, this shop isn't big, and it's in the middle of the city. "
Yun Zhiqiu rolled her eyes at him. "You want to buy a few? Aren't you overdoing it?"
Miao Yi chuckled, then tossed a storage bracelet to her. "I can still afford this bit of money for now."
Yun Zhiqiu looked at the contents of the storage bracelet, her mouth forming a circle. When she saw the large amount of Basic Immortal Pills and Red Crystals inside, she asked in surprise, "Niu Er, where did you get so many things?"
Miao Yi immediately told her about how the Vitality Sect had helped him settle the accounts. He had only recently gotten them. He also told her about how the Eastern District Governor's Manor had split the loot.
Yun Zhiqiu immediately grew wary. "This is daylight robbery. Looks like we'll have to buy a small defensive formation."
Miao Yi shook his head. "A normal one won't be able to withstand a Golden Lotus cultivator's attack. A high-grade one is too expensive. It's not like you don't know how much the Octagonal Formation costs. "
Yun Zhiqiu said, "We have to buy one even if it's cheap. It's better than letting someone sneak in without us knowing. Aren't you worried about my women living here? Forget it. You don't have to worry about this. I'll deal with it as I see fit. Oh right, Niu Er. You should keep some on you as well. It'll be useful when you socialize with the people of the Celestial Court. Only when your position in the Celestial Court is stable will we be more secure. "She reached for the storage bracelet as she said this.
Miao Yi waved his hand. "It's not convenient for me to keep too many good things on me. If I'm not careful, someone else might take them away. You deal with it as you see fit. I only have enough on me."
How much trust and confidence did Yun Zhiqiu have in putting so much of his family's wealth in her hands? The smile on Yun Zhiqiu's face was beautiful, and her eyes were a little clingy. It was a pity that the shop was currently being refurbished, and it was inconvenient for people to come and go. Otherwise, she would have pounced on him.
Half a month later, the store opened for business. It was called the Cloud Beauty Store, and it specialized in jewelry and high-purity crystal essences.
The jewelry that the Morality Sundry Goods Store sold all those years ago was now exclusively for sale. Borrowing some of the lingering popularity of the store, the store put up a signboard to advertise the store, and it caused quite a commotion. On the day of the store's opening, it immediately attracted quite a few female customers. However, the items were a little too expensive. Just a pair of earrings cost up to a million Red Crystals, which caused many to shrink back.
It was normal for Miao Yi to come over to congratulate the store on its grand opening. What made him depressed was that a bunch of people from the Eastern District Governor's Office also came over with small gifts to join in the fun. All seven Deputy Generals were present. This news was spread by that blabbermouth Xu Tangran, saying that Miao Yi was courting the Lady Boss of this store. Now, everyone in the Eastern District Governor's Office knew about it, and a bunch of people came over to support Miao Yi.
From this, it could be seen that Miao Yi had been on good terms with this group of people recently. However, Miao Yi knew very well that he didn't have a position in the Governor's Office, and he didn't even have a subordinate. Furthermore, his cultivation was the lowest among the Deputy Generals, so there was no conflict of interest between him and them. On top of that, he was personally brought in by Kou Wenlan. Since he didn't know what kind of relationship he had with Kou Wenlan, he was naturally more than happy to build a good relationship with Miao Yi since they were of the same rank.
"Lady Boss, our Brother Niu is really loyal to you. He comes over to your place whenever he's free." Xu Tangran's words to Yun Zhiqiu caused the others to burst into laughter. They all chimed in, saying how good Miao Yi was, trying their best to play matchmaker.
