Yun Zhiqiu didn't interfere with the selection of candidates. She didn't know the subordinates of the Four Hosts, so she couldn't interfere even if she wanted to. Besides, it wasn't good for her to meddle in everything. If she interfered too much, it would be hard to tell what would happen in the future.
That was the end of the matter. But before they left, Yun Zhiqiu threw out another topic. "Four brothers, there's something I'm embarrassed to say, and I don't know if I should say it. I'm a straightforward person, and if I don't say it out loud, I'm afraid I'll make you unhappy."
The Four Hosts had just stood up, but when they heard this, they looked at Yun Zhiqiu, who was sitting steadily. They looked at each other and slowly sat down again. Xiong Wei said, "We're all on the same side. What can't we say? Just say it, sister-in-law. "
"Brother Xiong is right. We're all on the same side. But it's precisely because we're all on the same side that I can't say some things. If we weren't on the same side, I wouldn't have cared so much. I'm used to speaking without thinking, and I don't like to beat around the bush. I'm afraid I'd have said it out loud long ago. " Yun Zhiqiu gestured to the four of them. "My four brothers should know that apart from me, Niuer has brought you to the outside world. He has never revealed anything to anyone else, not even his trusted subordinates or his concubines. Dare I ask my four brothers, has Niuer ever treated you as outsiders?"
The four of them didn't know why she said this and what she meant. Xiong Wei said, "Are you afraid that we won't do our best to help Old Five? If that's the case, you don't have to worry at all. We're all brothers. "
Yun Zhiqiu shook her head. "That's not what I mean … Let me be frank. This time, Niu Er wanted to help you gain a foothold in the outside world. We were all on the same side at that time, but he stabbed him in the back when he was unprepared. If it weren't for Niu Er's quick reaction, I'm afraid he would have lost his life. As a woman, I have no other hopes except for my man's safety. Although Niu Er didn't take it seriously, I was bitterly disappointed. When I heard about it, I was so scared that my legs turned to jelly. Brothers, tell me, if Niu Er died, what should I do? "
The four of them looked at each other. They didn't know what she wanted to say. Fu Qing said, "Sister-in-law, speak your mind. We are all ears."
Yun Zhiqiu said, "It's very simple. Niu Er doesn't take it seriously, but as his wife, I have to take it seriously. He's used to being careless, and you know how he is. Putting aside everything else, just the act of snatching me away from Flowing Clouds Dune Sea alone is already suicidal enough! He doesn't want to live, but I can't watch him do so. I hope you can understand my feelings of wanting him to be safe and sound. If it were Niu Er this time, he would definitely take his brothers through the starry sky just like last time. You brothers may not think it matters, but Niu Er obviously doesn't either. But in my opinion, that is really very wrong. I don't want to make the route to the macro world known to everyone. This is related to Niu Er's last escape route. To put it bluntly, it's related to his life. I can't just sit back and do nothing. If you want to take people with you, I think it's better for you to stay in the beast sack. I'll feel more at ease that way. "
"…" The four of them looked at each other, speechless. They were willing to leave a portion behind because they wanted to figure out the route first. Not to mention, the Sea of Constellations' strongest forces were all stored in your beast sack. If you were in a bad mood, you might just attack the beast sack. The beast sack didn't have any defensive capabilities. Wouldn't that be the end of them all?
Hong Tian frowned. "Sister-in-law, aren't you overthinking things? Is this Old Fifth's idea? "
Yun Zhiqiu said, "If it's Old Fifth's idea, then I won't be the bad guy anymore. I don't have to worry about this. It's not like you guys don't know Old Fifth. Even though he's not exactly a good person, he's a righteous man who values friendship and loyalty. He's someone who would do anything for his brothers. When he participated in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, he risked his life to lure the enemy into Lie Huan's Skyfire Mountain all by himself, then chopped off his own leg and jumped into the Supreme Fire Palace. Then, he forcefully divided the spoils he obtained from the Subjugation Crusade with his friend. Then, for the sake of a woman's death, he returned to Traversing Water Palace, abandoning any good territory he could get his hands on. He was even willing to be punished for ruining his own future just to avenge that woman. After that, for the sake of his friend, he refused to leave and was dragged into the war between the three palaces, nearly losing his life again. And then there's that Yan Beihong. You might not know this, but he caused a huge ruckus in the Great Devil Realm just to save Yan Beihong, and was beaten half to death. If it weren't for me pleading on his behalf, he would have lost his life by now. He's always risking his life for his friends. He doesn't take it seriously, but I'm afraid! If your Little Fifth were here, there's no need to say anything. Since he was willing to bring you guys there once, there's no reason for him to be secretive about it a second time. He's a man with a big heart, but I'm just a little woman. Who can understand my feelings? My four brothers, I don't want to be a widow! I won't beat around the bush in front of my four brothers. If you're willing to agree to my little sister's conditions, then let's go. If not, I, Ning Yuan, will never agree even if I have to fall out with your Little Fifth! "
His words left the four of them speechless. They wouldn't have known if Miao Yi hadn't said anything, but now that he said it, they couldn't help but sigh. From the looks of it, Little Fifth was indeed a loyal and loyal man. They had heard of some things before. Of course, there were also things they hadn't heard of before. For example, being beaten half to death in the Great Devil Realm.
However, the four of them still felt a little uncomfortable. It was true that Miao Yi had brought them to the outside world once, but they couldn't figure out the route at all. Little Fifth was very cunning.
But then again, everyone was clearly using each other at the time. They weren't even friends, and they hadn't even become sworn brothers back then. You couldn't expect Little Fifth to be selfless.
Now that Yun Zhiqiu was using both the carrot and the stick to accuse them of being her sister-in-law and crying about how she didn't want to be a widow, the four of them couldn't even voice out their objections. Otherwise, they would be suspected of bullying their sworn brother's wife.
The four of them exchanged glances. Yun Zhiqiu was done with her hard-core reasoning, and now she was raising her conditions. If they didn't agree, she wouldn't bring them along. She was making a scene just because she was a woman. In any case, she was in the right. The four of them would beat up their sworn brother's wife and force her to lead the way?
After some secret discussion, Xiong Wei figured that Yun Zhiqiu had no reason to harm them. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Fine! We'll do as Little Sister says. "
Yun Zhiqiu immediately stood up and stepped back. She bowed to the four of them and said, "Little Sister thanks my four brothers for their understanding. However, I still have a presumptuous request. I hope you won't tell Niu Er about what happened today. Otherwise, with his temper, I'm sure he'll turn against me. He might even divorce me. I don't want to be a widow, nor do I want to be an abandoned wife. "
If Miao Yi were to hear what she said, he would probably bang his head against the wall. The chances of Miao Yi divorcing her were really slim.
What else could the four of them say? Xiong Wei sighed and said, "Little Sister, you're being too serious. We aren't people who gossip. Naturally, we hope that you and Little Fifth can get along well."
"Little Sister doesn't know any better. I have no way to thank you. If I've offended you in any way, I hope my four brothers won't take it to heart. I'll first kowtow to my four brothers as an apology!" Yun Zhiqiu lifted her skirt and was about to kneel down on the spot.
'Ugh!' Wasn't this apology a little too much? The four of them couldn't just touch her. After all, men and women were different, and she was their sworn brother's woman. The four of them were flustered and hurriedly invoked their arts to stop her. How could they let her kneel and kowtow?
Since she really couldn't bring herself to kneel, Yun Zhiqiu didn't do so either. She had already done what she was supposed to.
After the matter was settled and both parties went their separate ways, the four Hosts walked on the empty plaza leading to the Eastern Constellations Palace in silence.
Invincible Eagle suddenly asked, "Say, do you guys think this was Little Fifth's idea?"
Xiong Wei said, "He already agreed. What's the point of talking about this now?"
Fu Qing sighed, "No wonder this woman could single-handedly prop up Tempest Tavern in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. Little Fifth has found himself a good wife!"
After a night of discussion in the Eastern Constellations Palace, the four of them finalized the list of people to head to the higher realms.
Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle would head to the higher realms. Among the eight envoys, Xiong Wei would head to the higher realms with Jin Guang and Silvery Light, Hong Tian would head to Ben Lei and Han Tian, Fu Qing would head to Qing Feng, and Po Kong would head to Invincible Eagle. As for the other twenty-four people, each of the four Hosts would send six Yao Kings.
Once the list of thirty-two people was finalized, they immediately sent someone to summon them.
The next evening, everyone had arrived at the Eastern Constellations Palace. Yun Zhiqiu was also invited over to stand beside the four Hosts.
Xiong Wei didn't know why the group of people were gathered here. He faced the crowd and asked, "I told you to cut off all the things on your hands. Have you done it? You haven't leaked any information, have you? "
"Yes, we have! We've kept it a secret! " Hu Fei, who was also Lie Huan's wife and also one of the nine Yao Kings under Fu Qing, asked, "Sir, why have you summoned us here?"
Xiong Wei replied, "You'll know when we get there. I guarantee you'll be very happy." He turned to Yun Zhiqiu and nodded, "Sister-in-law, let's go then!"
Yun Zhiqiu nodded, then took out two beast sacks and raised them, saying, "Men, go into the left one. Women, go into the right one."
"What?" The group of Yao Kings immediately gasped. Wouldn't that be putting their lives in the other party's hands? They wouldn't even be able to dodge a single slash.
"What's with all the nonsense?" Invincible Eagle coldly barked with a dark expression, and the crowd immediately fell silent.
Then, he turned around and was the first to enter the left pocket. Fu Qing was the second to enter.
Since the two Hosts and the six envoys had all gone in, the others didn't dare make a fuss and could only follow suit.
"Husband! I'll go with you. " Hu Fei moved closer to Supreme Yao Lord Lie Huan of her own accord. Lie Huan nodded. Under these strange circumstances, it was better for the two of them to stay together. At least they could look out for each other.
However, the two of them had only gone in for a short while when Hu Fei screamed from inside the beast sack, "Who touched me … touched me …" She was too embarrassed to say that he touched her butt.
Lie Huan roared, "Which bastard did it?"
Snickers immediately broke out inside, but no one admitted to it.
