After sending his wife off, Miao Yi felt a weight lifted from his shoulders. He rejoiced. 'Why didn't I think of Huangfujun in the first place? Y actually left a dudou in his room. Fortunately, I used Kou Wenlan as a shield at first, and then pushed the blame onto Kou Wenlan. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to explain myself. At least I managed to get through it. '
The thought of that dudou made Miao Yi furious. 'Did she even think of looking for Huangfujun?' Y had the urge to interrogate her and ask her if she did it on purpose.
However, on second thought, 'What crime? She didn't know about his relationship with Yun Zhiqiu, nor did she know that she would enter his private quarters. Was there a need to do it on purpose? The panic at the time might have been an accident. Besides, how could you interrogate her about something like that? '
Even though Miao Yi had given up on the idea of denouncing him, this incident still served as a lesson for him. He couldn't afford to provoke that woman anymore. Otherwise, something bad would happen sooner or later. Fortunately, he had made it clear that this would be the last time!
Unfortunately, even he wasn't sure about this' last time '. Huangfujun? He knew how clingy Y could be. What would he do if she continued to pester him?
Miao Yi's emotions were a mess. He thought back to the days when he was just a butcher on the streets. He was chased away every time he brought gifts to propose. Now, he was annoyed by a beautiful woman. He couldn't figure out how he had become like this. Even he was annoyed by himself.
As his thoughts ran wild, someone handed him a name card. He flipped it open and saw that someone from the Morality Goods Store had come to congratulate him. He nodded and said, "Welcome!"
It was the Morality Sect Master, Master Yuling. He came to congratulate Miao Yi personally. Bao Lian also came with him.
In order to show their closeness, Miao Yi received the two of them in the pavilion in the backyard. Tea and snacks were served.
Miao Yi and Master Yuling sat opposite each other and chatted happily. Miao Yi was quite willing to maintain a good relationship with the Morality Sect. Bao Lian stood behind Master Yuling.
"So many years have passed in a flash. Back then, Master Distant Thoughts was still a fledgling. I didn't expect you to become the Eastern District Commander so quickly. It's true that wherever a capable person goes, Feng Shui is a treasure land! " Spiritual Master Yuling could not help but sigh. Initially, he had wanted to take him in as his disciple. With his abilities, it was not impossible for him to pass the position of sect master to him in the future. Who knew, he might even be able to make the Vitality Sect flourish.
Miao Yi shook his head and said, "Sect Master, you flatter me. I had no choice but to do this. It wasn't my wish, and I ended up like this without even realizing it. I had no choice but to come to Dongcheng District to avoid the disaster. I never thought that this day would come! If it wasn't for the fact that I have no other choice, I would rather cultivate in the Vital Energy Sect's bamboo forest. I really don't want to get involved in this mess. "
Perfected Yuling nodded. "Speaking of this, the Vital Energy Sect has let you down! I have a request for you, and I don't know if I should ask. "
Miao Yi extended his hand and said, "Sect Master, feel free to speak your mind. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse!"
Perfected Yuling turned to look at Bao Lian and said, "This matter is related to Bao Lian. I don't know how to bring it up either. This child has been pestering me for a long time. I've talked to her and scolded her, but she just won't listen. She insists on joining the Celestial Court. I initially wanted to ask my master, Perfected Perching Tree, for help, but Bao Lian said that he doesn't want to trouble the Ancestral Master. He also wants to be closer to the Vital Energy Sect. So … I wonder if it's appropriate for you to look after this place? "
"..." Miao Yi understood what she was getting at. He raised his head and looked at Bao Lian. The latter lowered his head slightly.
Miao Yi pondered for a moment, then reminded, "Sect Master, you should know that I have always been a carefree person. In the blink of an eye, I've been dragged into the Celestial Court. This place is filled with power struggles and deceit. Once I'm caught up in it, it will be difficult for me to turn back. This goes against the teachings of the Vital Energy Sect. How can the Sect Master allow such a dangerous place to exist? "
Perfected Yuling turned to him and said, "Bao Lian, you heard what the Scholar said. The Celestial Court is a dangerous place. You should think this through. "
Bao Lian cupped his fists and said, "Grandfather, so what if I'm in the Vital Energy Sect? In the end, I'll still end up like the Ancestral Master. In the end, I'll still have to serve the Celestial Court. This day will come sooner or later. Instead of waiting for that to happen, Bao Lian might as well leave first and scout the path for Grandfather!"
Perfected Yuling smiled bitterly and said, "She's already made up her mind. I wonder what the Scholar thinks? If it's inconvenient for you, you can just say it. I'll think of another way."
Miao Yi stared at Bao Lian and furrowed his brows. "Since Bao Lian is so insistent, I have nothing else to say. Go back and wait for a while. I will need to recruit a new group of people later. I'll bring you along as well. I believe it shouldn't be a problem. You can serve under me from now on."
"Thank you, Scholar!" Bao Lian immediately cupped his fists excitedly and bowed in gratitude!
Perfected Yuling chuckled and said, "There are some things I know. To be honest, the disciples of the Vital Energy Sect aren't suited for a career in the bureaucracy. I hope the Scholar can take care of me in the future."
Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "You're too kind, Sect Master. We're all on the same side. I won't hesitate to take care of you if I can."
After exchanging some pleasantries, the grandfather and grandson duo took their leave.
Back at the Vital Energy Sundry Goods Store, Perfected Yuling told Bao Lian to get back to work while he went to his Junior Brother Perfected Yu Xu's room.
As soon as they met, Perfected Yu Xu asked, "Senior Brother, did Niu Youde agree?"
Perfected Yuling smiled and said, "He didn't refuse. He agreed. Bao Lian should be heading to the Eastern District soon."
"Sigh!" Perfected Yu Xu shook his head and sighed. "What's wrong with that girl? Why would she go to the Heavenly Court for no reason? Senior Brother, forgive me for saying this, but how could you agree to a woman like Bao Lian running around with men? That's not a wise decision! "
"Junior Brother! I have nothing to hide from you. " Perfected Yuling gently patted his wrist and said, "I'm afraid that girl has fallen for Niu Youde. She's fallen for him. There's no stopping her!"
"..." Perfected Yu Xu was dumbfounded. "Are you serious, Senior Brother?"
Perfected Yuling smiled wryly. "Of course not! I know my own granddaughter well. I watched her grow up. She might have tried to hide things from me, but I'm not blind. There are some things I know. I just didn't expose her. "
"This …" Perfected Yu Xu was stunned. He asked, "Senior Brother, are you trying to help them be together?"
Perfected Yuling stroked his beard and nodded with a smile. "If it were anyone else, I would have to think twice. You and I know Niu Youde's character. He's not very particular about what he does, and he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. However, he's an honest man. His character is impeccable. He's a good candidate for Bao Lian. I wanted to take him as my disciple, but I didn't succeed. Now that I think about it, he's the perfect candidate to be my grandson-in-law. "
Perfected Yu Xu was worried. "I'm just worried that Bao Lian might be too eager. What if Niu Youde doesn't have any feelings for Bao Lian? How will Bao Lian feel then?"
Perfected Yuling waved his hand. "Don't worry! Niu Youde is not married. The man is not married, and the woman is not married. They're a good match. There's no harm in letting them try. That girl has fallen in love, and there's no stopping her. If things don't work out, there's no harm in letting her run into a wall. It'll be good for her to give up. With how powerful the Vitality Sect is, it won't be hard to find some connections. If Bao Lian doesn't get what she wants, we can just have her withdraw from the Sky Court. "
"So Senior Brother already has a plan." Perfected Yu Xu nodded and said no more.
Miao Yi didn't know about this. If he did, he wouldn't know how to react. He probably wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even he himself didn't think he had a good character. Back in the Vitality Sect, he tried his best to show off his good character. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that he would become the perfect candidate for Sect Master Yuling's grandson-in-law.
He was already surrounded by beauties, and now there was another one to worry about. Back then, he was a butcher on the streets, and no one had paid much attention to him. Now, his luck with the ladies was truly on the line. It was unstoppable!
A few days later, Yun Zhiqiu's list of gifts was finished. There were quite a lot of gifts from the major shops. After giving the list to Miao Yi, Miao Yi took Yun Zhiqiu's gifts and went to the City Guard Palace to make arrangements.
Meanwhile, Yun Zhiqiu went shopping in the Heavenly Avenue. She changed her appearance and left the Heavenly Avenue alone. She flew into the depths of the starry sky and returned to the Lesser Realm.
Jupiter. In the forest where the fairy tribe resided, Ba Jie sat cross-legged on a rock in the middle of a pond under a waterfall. No matter how tempting the naked body swimming in the water was, he didn't move an inch.
'Completely naked?' Swimming in the pond, the Blood Demon unintentionally turned around and was stunned. She stood barefoot on the rock at the bottom of the pond and stared blankly at Ba Jie, who was sitting cross-legged.
Beneath the mist of the waterfall, Ba Jie's clothes were already soaked to his skin. Occasionally, droplets of water would drip down his bald head and drip down his chin and the tip of his nose. However, his expression was still as serene as ever. What was most amazing was that under the setting sun, Ba Jie's body glowed brilliantly. There was actually a small rainbow shrouding Ba Jie's head.
Combined with Ba Jie's pure and holy appearance, the Blood Demon's eyes flashed with astonishment. In all her years of cultivation, this was the first time she had seen and experienced the solemnity of a dharma ritual. She didn't expect such an auspicious sign to appear on Ba Jie's body. She was certain that this wasn't the work of Ba Jie, because there were no fluctuations of transcendence energy coming from Ba Jie's body. This was truly a coincidence.
'Eternal green mountain, Buddha in the pond!'
'Buddha!' This was the word that appeared in the Blood Demon's mind. She felt as if she had seen a real Buddha, not one of those sanctimonious Buddhas, but one who truly possessed a Buddha's heart. He was untainted by worldly desires, and his mortal heart wouldn't waver even in the face of beauty. She had experienced this firsthand.
The more she felt this way, the more she desired him because of his extraordinariness. It was also precisely because of his extraordinariness that she felt even more vexed because it was so difficult to obtain him. His holiness made her feel inferior.
With an indescribable torment in her heart, she dove into the water. The clear water couldn't wash away her vexation. She swam to the rock at the center of the pond and emerged. She spread out her arms and hugged Ba Jie. She rubbed her body against his and kissed his bald head, his cheeks, and his earlobes. She was like a demon, using all her skills to seduce him.
If she could successfully seduce him, she wouldn't hesitate even if she had to become the evilest demon in the world!
Ba Jie remained unmoved. A faint smile appeared on his face, but a different scene was playing out in his mind.
The reason why he had come here was because the Blood Demon had come for his Big Brother. However, by the time he arrived, his Big Brother had already left. In the end, in this forest, he saw a woman bathing under the moonlight. That woman was sitting on the rock he was sitting on right now. It was a woman as beautiful as a fairy. So she really was a fairy. Fairies really did exist in this world. A woman as pure as a piece of white paper. One look at her would be enough to cleanse one's body and mind.
He walked to the edge of the pond. The woman covered her chest in panic and dove into the water, hiding behind the rock. Under the moonlight, he asked, "Female benefactor, do you know what a Peach Blossom Calamity is?"
