Main Text Chapter 606: Insults

There was no stopping the rumors, and the two palaces that Miao Yi was in charge of naturally heard about them. It was hard to stop the people below from talking behind their backs.

Xue'er played the piano every day, and Qian'er danced every day, leading a group of palace ladies to sing and dance in Miao Yi's palace.

Miao Yi's hair was unknotted and draped loosely around his shoulders. He was leaning on the couch and drinking. He watched a group of graceful beauties singing and dancing every day. He doted on Qian'er and Xue'er's delicate bodies every day. He lived a carefree life and seemed to turn a deaf ear to the rumors from the outside world.

However, the more he behaves like this, the more Qian'er and Xue'er can sense that he is in a bad mood, so they can only serve him with endless tenderness.

In fact, Miao Yi didn't care how others scolded him. The reason why he was in a bad mood was because he cared about what the people he cared about would think of him.

In this way, the annual payment was ushered in amidst the infamy. Miao Yi's mood gradually adjusted, and he naturally got used to it after hearing it too much.

The annual payment went smoothly below. The people below were all waiting for changes in personnel when the new official took office. However, Miao Yi hardly made any adjustments. No one knew what he was delaying.

After Zhenren Hall and Zhengui Hall had collected all their money, Miao Yi rushed to Mu Xing Palace with a Ximen Yan.

After arriving, a palace maid led Ximen Yan to the waiting room, while Miao Yi went to the harem to meet the palace master Cheng Aofang and pay his annual dues.

After settling the annual payment with Aunt Qing and Aunt Yu, Cheng Aofang watched the table and asked Aunt Yu to serve tea.

"There seem to be a lot of rumors about you outside recently!" Cheng Aofang, who was sitting at the table, looked at him with interest.

Miao Yi said calmly: "I am famous all over the world for my humble position."

"Famous all over the world..." Cheng Aofang chuckled, "Are you angry?"

"Don't be angry because of your humble position. Be famous early. Countless people in the world envy me. People who criticize me are jealous of me." Miao Yi laughed at himself.

Cheng Aofang said playfully: "Back then, all the palaces will escort me to the capital city. Are you going? If you feel embarrassed, I will allow you to take leave."

Miao Yi seemed to be disapproving and said: "Go! Why don't you go? If you don't go, others will think you are a thief because of your humble position."

Cheng Aofang smiled and nodded. After watching Miao Yi leave, she spread her skirt with both hands, crossed her legs and smiled at the people standing next to her: "Those guys below are just because I have made him the Lord of the Two Halls and the Walking Man." I feel uncomfortable, and with the incident of 'Miao thieves' popping up, I'm afraid a lot of cynicism is inevitable."

Aunt Qing couldn't help but worry at the side: "If they get together, nothing will happen, right?"

"I want to see how he handles it!" Cheng Aofang held the tea cup and tasted it slowly. He said calmly: "I can give him the position. Whether he can keep his position depends on him. If he can't even pass this level. The positions of Zhenren Hall and Zhengui Hall may be targeted by others." If he can't even gain a foothold in Mu Xing Palace, what's the point of me having him? Is it necessary for me to make the people below have a problem with me because of a useless waste?"

Qing and Yu looked at each other without saying a word.

As expected, Miao Yi was led by a palace maid to the waiting room. As a result, before reaching the door of the wing, I heard an extremely harsh word "Miao thief". At the same time, there was a burst of laughter.

The palace maid cautiously took a peek at Miao Yi. Miao Yi raised his eyebrows and strode to the door of the waiting room. He glanced at everyone in the room coldly and said calmly: "I don't know who was slandering me just now." seat?"

There were twelve or thirteen palace masters from the two palaces who had already arrived in the room. In addition to the two walkers each brought, there were thirty or forty Red Lotus monks sitting or standing in the room.

Seeing Miao Yi appear at the door, the room fell silent for a moment. Everyone drank tea when it was time to drink tea, and turned around when it was time to turn away. They acted as if nothing had happened.

Although Miao Yi, the master of the two halls, works as a walker, he can't control everyone at all. With his first-grade cultivation of Honglian, no one will take him seriously.

The point is, for a guy who has never made any achievements, to take on so many positions right away, how embarrassing is it for these old people who have worked with Cheng Aofang for many years? Is it because we are incompetent? If everyone doesn't say anything and doesn't look good on him, it's okay to just ignore him, right?

I saw Ximen Yan, who occupied a table in a corner of the room, looked very unhappy, which showed that he had just heard a lot of unpleasant words.

"Ximen Yan!" Miao Yi said calmly, standing at the door with his hands behind his hands.

"Here!" Ximen Yan came over and saluted.

Miao Yi looked at him sideways, "Who was insulting me just now?"

Ximen Yan hesitated.

"Huh?" Miao Yi snorted a question in his nose and said coldly: "Let me ask you again, point it out to me who is insulting me."

Ximen Yan had no choice but to point at a majestic man. Miao Yi looked around and saw that the man was holding a cup of tea, leaning on the chair with his legs crossed and fiddling with the tea lid. He looked at the tea soup in the cup and twisted his head left and right. , as if looking in the mirror at the tea, with a look of turning a deaf ear.

Miao Yi tilted his head and waved to a palace maid waiting at the door. The palace maid came up and saluted and asked, "What are your orders, Master Miao?"

Miao Yi reminded: "I am walking in the wooden palace, no one told you?"

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, then immediately changed her words: "I wonder what Miao Xingxing's orders are?"

Miao Yi raised his hand and pointed at the majestic man, "Who is that guy who doesn't know the superiority and inferiority of people?"

As soon as these words came out, many people looked at each other and smiled playfully. The 'mirror' of the majestic man could no longer be seen, and they raised their heads and glanced coldly.

The palace maid hesitated for a moment and replied weakly: "Back to Xingxing, it's Ma Weihan, the master of Zhenwu Hall."

Miao Yi waved her hand to ask her to leave, then turned his eyes to Ma Weihan and said calmly: "Ma Weihan."

Ma Weihan said with cold eyes: "I wonder what Miao Xingxing calls me for?"

Miao Yi asked back, "I'm walking around asking questions, but you're sitting there indifferent. Do you think you don't care about the superiority and inferiority of Mu Xing Palace? Or am I a newbie here and don't understand that Mu Xing Palace can flout the rules of the top?"

The corner of Ma Weihan's mouth twitched. The hat was too big for him to carry. He could only put down the teacup and stood up. He walked slowly to Miao Yi and clasped his fists. He tilted his head to the side and said, "Ma Weihan has seen walking before. I don’t know what advice you have on walking?”

Miao Yi said calmly: "I am new here, so I can't give you any advice. I just want to ask why you insulted me just now?"

Ma Weihan chuckled and said: "I think walking misunderstood. We were just discussing the recent rumors about walking in the outside world, so we couldn't help but say a few more words. Haha, don't take walking seriously."

Miao Yi said calmly: "I wanted to argue with him, but it turns out that he is a coward who dares to do things but dare not act. It seems that there is really no need to argue."

"Who are you scolding?" Ma Weihan's eyes flashed fiercely.

Miao Yi made no secret of it and pointed directly at his nose and said, "I will scold anyone who scolds me. Do you have any objections or do I have to keep my mouth shut?"

Ma Weihan clenched his fists. However, Miao Yi had a false reputation after all. It was unjustifiable for him to confront Feng Feng in front of everyone in the wooden palace. He could only sneer and said: "We are just discussing, if walking must be regarded as scolding you, I want to punish you." There is nothing wrong with it, but a humble person can’t talk to himself, and he’s not the only one who talks about it!”

This clearly means that you want to get together and see what you can do to us.

Several people rolled their eyes at Ma Weihan, as if to say, Old Ma, it's not interesting enough for you to do this.

Ma Weihan smiled at them, as if to say, what are you afraid of!

Miao Yi raised his eyebrows and said "Oh", "It turns out that there are more than one people who scolded me. They all said it without any basis. Let me see who is the person who made such rude remarks to me!"

Ma Weihan was really rude. He turned around, put one hand on his waist, and pointed one by one with the other hand. He said cheerfully: "Luo Mingguang, the master of Zhenji Hall, Lu Yunke, the master of Zhengeng Hall, Hu Zifen, the master of Zhenxin Hall, and the Rixing Palace." Li Yujuan, the master of the Zhenxin Hall, and Xiao Yecheng, the master of the Zhending Hall. Miao Xingxing wants to give some guidance to the rest of us, so why are we just standing there?"

Including Ma Weihan, there are six palace masters in total, not counting the walks they brought. Standing next to Miao Yi, Ximen Yan broke out in a cold sweat. He felt that Miao Yi was not calm enough. He turned a blind eye to this kind of thing and passed it off as if he didn't hear it. Why bother making him unable to get down the stairs?

Almost all the five people whose names were called gave Ma Weihan a look, as if blaming him for being unreasonable.

However, the five people obviously had the same attitude as Ma Weihan. They stood up one by one and walked over, cupping their hands and saying, "I wonder if Miao Xingxing has any advice?"

The twelve walkers brought by the six people also stood up from where they were sitting at the back. They walked over one by one and stood behind their respective palace masters. They all looked at Miao Yi disapprovingly, making it clear that they were using their power to suppress others. .

The others were looking at me and me at you, all communicating secretly, and the slight smiles on their faces seemed to be waiting to watch the fun.

But Miao Yi glanced at the twelve people, nodded slightly and said, "That's right, twelve more people have come out to plead guilty. You can answer yourselves, what are the crimes for the following crimes?"

"The following offense?" Hu Zifen chuckled, "Miao Xingxing, are you exaggerating? Ma Weihan has already made it clear, and it was just a discussion. What crime is there?"

"Discussion?" Miao Yi glanced at her up and down and snorted: "Have you ever seen anyone who calls himself a 'thief' in public?"

Hu Zifen shook her head and said with a smile: "Miao Xingxing is too worried. People outside call you this. We just called you casually. If Miao Xingxing insists on taking it seriously, there is nothing we can do. How about we accompany Xiang Xingxing?" If you feel uncomfortable while walking, you can complain to the palace master, and we will just accept the palace master’s punishment.”

Miao Yi said: "At least no one outside has ever shouted in front of me, and I can't do anything about it. However, as a walker in the Mu Xing Palace, I have the right to interfere with the affairs in the Mu Xing Palace. I am a palace walker." The Lord personally conferred the title, wouldn’t it be disrespectful to the Palace Master if he allowed me to insult me? Isn’t that right? We are all colleagues, and I don’t want to embarrass everyone.”

He raised his hand and nodded one by one, "Eighteen people, to avoid anyone saying that I am unfair, I will treat everyone equally and count them on a per-capita basis. Each person will hand over one hundred thousand low-grade wish beads as a sincere apology to me. I don’t care about things." (To be continued...)
