'Xiahou Longcheng? So it's this guy! ' Miao Yi and Xu Tangran wailed in their hearts at the same time. 'Why didn't that black bear just die? He's like a ghost that won't go away!'
In an instant, they understood everything. Needless to say, even though he was just a supervisor, he had a powerful background! Creating a random test for Commander Level 1, it was clear that they were aiming for this. Last time, they were forced to leave by Kou Wenlan, and this time, they came back. They were simply not going to rest until they got their revenge!
As soon as they heard the name Xiahou Longcheng, Murong Xinghua and Yang Tai looked at Miao Yi and Xu Tangran at the same time. After Miao Yi felt their gazes, he didn't want to be the culprit in everyone's eyes, so he turned to look at Xu Tangran as if to say that it had nothing to do with him. It was all Xu Tangran's fault.
In reality, he didn't know if Xiahou Longcheng would settle the score with him. He could only sigh in his heart. 'Xiahou Longcheng, that black bear, has learned to be smart. He always loses when fighting head-on, and now he's playing dirty. With his background, once he plays dirty, people will die.'
Miao Yi suspected that there was someone behind Xiahou Longcheng's back. Otherwise, with Xiahou Longcheng's brain, he wouldn't have the patience to take his revenge slowly.
Although Xu Tangran's arm had grown back, his heart was cold. He still remembered Xiahou Longcheng's slash clearly. It almost split him in half.
In fact, he was quite pitiful as a Commander. With Xiahou Longcheng's actions and Xiahou Longcheng's warning before he was captured, he didn't dare to go out after taking charge of the West District Commander's Office. He was afraid that Xiahou Longcheng would come out of nowhere and stab him again. Xiahou Longcheng, that madman, was completely unreasonable. It was entirely possible that he would do it again. This had almost become his sore point. Now that he knew that Xiahou Longcheng was playing this game again, his scalp was numb. His first thought was that Xiahou Longcheng wouldn't stop until he killed him!
After looking at Yang Tai, Murong Xinghua finally couldn't help but ask, "Yang Tai and I have no enmity with Xiahou Longcheng. Why did he include the two of us?"
Kou Wenlan said, "Getting even with Niu Youde and Xu Tangran is just one of the reasons. Since the two of you are included, it's only natural that they're targeting me. Think about it, if none of the commanders under me are competent, it means that I, as the Great Commander, am not competent either. I don't know how to lead an army. So that you can take the opportunity to drag me down to avenge my humiliation! "
Murong Xing Hua and Yang Tai looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. Who did we offend? Why did we get implicated like this? Aren't we being wronged!
Yang Tai asked, "Commander, since you know that Xiahou Longcheng is coming for you, why didn't you come here? Why didn't you stop him? "
Kou Wenlan said, "Xiahou Longcheng has always been a vengeful person. It's not his style to expose this matter. I was careless. When the matter was confirmed, your names had already been put on the list of a thousand people and approved by the Celestial Emperor. The Celestial Emperor's decree can't be changed so easily. Even if someone can persuade the Celestial Emperor to retract his decree, he won't do it for a few insignificant people like us. So, this matter is inevitable!"
They were speechless. Especially Xu Tangran, his face was already pale. He was already afraid that Xiahou Longcheng would use some method to kill him.
Kou Wenlan suddenly stood up, "I know everyone is guessing my background and origin behind my back. Today, I might as well tell everyone the truth. Among the four heavenly kings of the heavenly court, Heavenly King Kou, is my grandfather!"
They were stunned, but they didn't find it strange. In fact, everyone had already guessed that he was from the Kou Clan. Heavenly Court had such a huge background, and his surname was Kou. It could only be that person. However, they didn't expect Kou Wenlan to be Heavenly King Kou's grandson. They didn't know what his position was among Heavenly King Kou's grandchildren.
"Xiahou Longcheng's background isn't any worse than mine. His aunt is the current Empress. It's not in terms of seniority, it's my biological aunt! "Kou Wenlan slowly added.
Everyone guessed this. Since Heavenly King's surname was Xiahou, everyone had long suspected that Xiahou Longcheng was from the Xiahou Clan. They just didn't know the exact relationship. They didn't expect Xiahou Longcheng to be the Empress' nephew. This background was too scary. It was already a heaven-defying background. Xu Tangran was so scared that his legs almost went soft.
However, what puzzled the four was that if Xiahou Longcheng had such a powerful background, how would Kou Wenlan dare to fight with him?
In the end, Kou Wenlan revealed the truth. "I know what everyone is thinking. It's actually not as scary as you think. The Empress is the Empress, and the Xiahou Clan is the Xiahou Clan. What's more, Xiahou Longcheng isn't favored by the Xiahou Clan. The reason is very simple. Everyone knows Xiahou Longcheng's character, and he won't be valued by the Xiahou Clan. So, everyone doesn't have to be afraid. What you have to do is to try your best to pass this assessment … Let me make one more point. This assessment is very important to me. If you drag me down, it will be none of my business how Xiahou Longcheng deals with you in the future. If you can get a good ranking in the assessment, my position as the Great Commander will be yours sooner or later. I will also make him a retainer of the Kou Clan. If you encounter any trouble in the future, the Kou Clan will not ignore it! "
Hearing this, the others were pleasantly surprised! Miao Yi muttered to himself, wondering what was going on between Kou Wenlan and Xiahou Longcheng. From the looks of it, the competition between the two of them wasn't just because of Huangfu Jun. Y, after being in contact for so long, could tell that Kou Wenlan actually had feelings for Huangfu Jun. Y was not interested at all. It was all because Xiahou Longcheng liked Huangfujun? After Xiahou Longcheng left, he didn't see Kou Wenlan and Huangfujun again. What kind of relationship did Y have? What kind of inside story was there?
"Great Commander, what is the assessment?" Miao Yi cupped his fists and asked, "It's better to know early so we can be prepared."
Kou Wenlan said, "I'm informing you in advance so that you can be fully prepared. As for what the test is, it hasn't been set yet. It's mainly to prevent people from cheating. I'm afraid the test will only be decided at the last minute. There's still nearly a year before the assessment. You should be mentally prepared. I will keep an eye out for information and help you prepare from another aspect. I won't let you lose at the starting point."
"Thank you, Great Commander!" Everyone could only thank her without meaning it, then dispersed.
However, Miao Yi wasn't in a hurry to leave.
Kou Wenlan could tell that he had something else to say, so she asked, "Do you have any more questions?"
Miao Yi said, "Great Commander, in order to prepare for the assessment, I want to find a suitable place to cultivate in seclusion. I might have to leave for a while, so I'd like to ask for leave."
"Cultivate in martial arts?" Kou Wenlan took out her handkerchief and rubbed her cheeks. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Your cultivation is a little low. This assessment will be a little difficult for you. It's impossible to break through your cultivation in a short period of time. Improving your martial arts is also a solution, but will it be effective in a year's time?"
Miao Yi said, "I already have some ideas. I might need some external stimulation to cultivate. I have to try no matter what."
"Go then! Remember to make arrangements for the East District before you leave. "Kou Wenlan readily agreed.
"Thank you, Great Commander!" Miao Yi thanked her and took his leave.
After leaving the City Guard Palace, he realized that Xu Tangran hadn't left yet. Miao Yi thought that he had something to discuss with the Great Commander. When he was about to leave, Xu Tangran pulled him back, "Commander Niu, are you free tonight?"
"I'm not free!" Miao Yi didn't care what it was about and immediately rejected him. He had never been polite to Xu Tangran. The repercussions of not being able to kill this guy were still there.
"Hey! Little Brother … Little Brother … "Xu Tangran hurriedly grabbed Miao Yi's arm and smiled apologetically." Do me the honor. I'm holding a banquet in my residence tonight. I've even invited Commander Murong and Commander Yang. They've already agreed to attend. How can I miss you? How about I invite Xue Linglong from the Heavenly Incense Brothel later to liven things up? "
"What are you planning?" Miao Yi was suspicious.
"Naturally, it has something to do with the upcoming assessment."
"Assessment?" Miao Yi muttered. He looked at Xu Tangran and said, "Alright. I'll go when I'm free." Miao Yi shrugged off Xu Tangran's hand and strode away.
"I'll send someone to invite Little Brother when the time comes!" Xu Tangran quickly added with a smile.
After returning to the East District, Miao Yi didn't return to the Commander's Office. He was deep in thought when he arrived at the Cloud Rong Restaurant.
Just as he was about to enter, he turned around and noticed that his personal attendant, Bao Lian, was still following him. He smiled and said, "I'm fine here. You can go back first."
"Understood!" Bao Lian replied. As she watched Miao Yi enter the Cloud Rong Restaurant, she had a complicated look in her eyes. Naturally, she had heard about Miao Yi courting the Lady Boss.
After entering the restaurant, he asked the scholar behind the counter if the Lady Boss was around and found out that Huangfu Jun. Miao Yi was about to turn around and leave, but he stopped in his tracks and decided to go to the back instead.
In the pavilion in the backyard, Yun Zhiqiu and Huangfu Jun. Y were chatting and laughing together.
Miao Yi walked around the fake mountain and walked in, his face full of smiles as he said, "Lady Boss … Is Manager Huangfu here as well?"
The two women stood up one after the other. Yun Zhiqiu pretended to be reserved as she bowed and said, "Greetings, Commander Niu."
"Commander Niu!" Huangfu Jun? Huangfu Jun. Y also had a teasing look on his face, causing Miao Yi to feel a little uncomfortable.
Yun Zhiqiu noticed their reactions from the corner of her eyes and raised an eyebrow. She then invited Miao Yi to take a seat and ordered Qian'Er and Xue'Er to serve tea.
"What are you two beauties chatting about here? Why are you so happy?" Miao Yi chuckled as he took a seat.
Huangfu Jun. Y smiled and said, "I was just asking when Sister Yun's husband will be coming. I want to catch a glimpse of him."
Yun Zhiqiu smiled and continued, "Since Sister Huangfu is so concerned about my husband, I dare not let him come. What if Sister Huangfu takes a liking to him?"
Those words … Miao Yi clenched his fists and coughed dryly. Y then added, "I'm just worried for Commander Niu. Everyone knows how much Commander Niu loves Sister Yun."
Yun Zhiqiu shook her head and said, "You must be joking, Sister. I'm already married. I won't think about remarrying."
