Main Text Chapter 637 I Don’t Need Help

After leaving the palace, the three people turned around and faced Ma Weihan and the other five who followed them.

"It's really a rotten wood that can't be carved!" Boyan threw down a sentence, snorted coldly, and flew away.

Although Zhuang Youwen and Shang Liuhuan didn't say anything, they also waved their sleeves with a look of complaint on their faces, and seemed to be very unhappy with the attitude of the few people who gave in.

After the three people disappeared, the five people looked at each other, and Li Yujuan muttered with indignation: "You three can't suppress one person, now it seems that we have done something wrong. If you can help us, why would we be like this."

Luo Mingguang snorted coldly: "Don't pay attention to them, the three of them are just pretending. When they send their tributes at the end of the year, they will definitely be happy and act as if nothing happened."

"This is the most annoying thing, getting benefits but not being able to do anything!" Li Yujuan gritted her teeth.

"Alas! People all over the world are the same. They don't have any real power. Giving them benefits may not help you accomplish anything. But if you don't give them, they will hang around in front of the palace master every day, and they are very capable of ruining your affairs. Just think of it as spending money to avoid disaster!" Ma Weihan sighed, and then quickly looked around. He had learned a lesson from the mouth.

The five people looked at each other and felt the same. They didn't dare to say anything more and left quickly...

In the palace, Miao Yi was left behind, accompanying Cheng Aofang a little behind, walking in the garden, and Aunt Qing and Aunt Yu followed behind.

The troops in Zhenren Palace and Zhengui Palace were already fully staffed, and Cheng Aofang couldn't help but care about the situation in the two palaces.

"I heard that the new chief steward under your command enjoys the treatment of the master of Zhengui Palace?" Cheng Aofang suddenly asked about this.

Miao Yi replied, "It's just to make it easier for him to do things for his subordinates."

Cheng Aofang said calmly, "You can get someone from Yuexing Palace and give him such super-standard treatment. He must be very capable, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Miao Yi immediately became alert, worried that this woman would poach people from his subordinates. If this woman forced a decree to ask for someone, he would be hard to stop. He immediately laughed and said, "Of course his ability is not too bad! The important thing is that I am an old friend of his. If it weren't for his appreciation and promotion, I wouldn't be here today."

Cheng Aofang said "Oh" without comment, turned back and glanced at him, and jumped to the topic, "I wonder if Miao Xingxing has talked about me finding a subordinate as a husband behind my back?"

"Uh..." Miao Yi felt guilty, it would be strange if he didn't talk about it, but of course he firmly denied it, "No! Absolutely not!"

Cheng Aofang nodded and said, "Okay! Then swear a poisonous oath to prove that you didn't talk about it."

This really disgusted the Great Master Miao. I didn't expect Cheng Aofang to use the same trick he used on Ma Weihan and the others on him.

Damn, you didn't let Ma Weihan and the others swear a poisonous oath but asked me to swear it, what's the meaning? Miao Yi was so angry.

However, just like Ma Weihan and the others, Miao Yi had to swear this poisonous oath. You couldn't find any reason to refuse, so you could only bite the bullet and say: "I swear..."

"Forget it!" Cheng Aofang stopped and turned around, staring at him and said: "Since it's difficult, why force it, just say it, I'm a woman looking for a man to be my husband. It's not a shameful thing for us to be in love, and I'm not afraid of others gossiping behind my back."

Are you trying to cheat me? Miao Yi bowed slightly. Guilty and said: "I really didn't say that."

Cheng Aofang changed the subject and said: "You swallowed more than 7 million low-grade wish beads from Ma Weihan and the others in one breath. Can you swallow it all by yourself?" She pointed to Miao Yi's back.

Miao Yi turned his head and looked behind him. There was no one else except Aunt Qing and Aunt Yu. He heard Cheng Aofang say, "The consumption of wish beads in the Red Lotus Realm is quite large. Qing and Yu have no source of income. Letting you hang the false title of a walking master also saves you from paying tribute to other walking masters every year. I take such good care of you. Wouldn't it be unreasonable for you not to show some appreciation? I am poor!"

The meaning of this sentence is really obvious. It is clear that I want a share of the pie!

Miao Yi was speechless. You are still poor? Half of the profits from the robbery of the Water Palace do not need to be shared with your subordinates. All of them went into your personal pocket. Now that you have taken care of such a large territory as the Sun Palace, how much will the two palaces harvest every year? There are also crystal coin mines and other oil and water in the two palaces. The big and small sects that make a living in your territory in the two palaces have to show some appreciation to you. When you reach the level of Palace Master, the Chamber of Commerce will give you some share. Are you still poor? If your annual income is converted into wish beads, if it is less than two million low-grade wish beads, I will chop off my head and let you kick it like a ball!

The person who can earn millions of wish beads every year even if she does nothing and sleeps soundly is actually complaining about being poor? Miao Yi cursed her to be a widow for life.

"What does the palace master mean?" Miao Yi asked tentatively, trying to pretend to be confused, but he was very reluctant in his heart.

Cheng Aofang didn't beat around the bush with him, "I don't want much, just take out one million and give it to the two aunts later."

"Palace master, it's not that I don't want to give, the key is that I can't take out so many wish beads now!" Miao Yi was also complaining about being poor.

Cheng Aofang glanced at him and said, "Don't give me that, you dare to spend all the annual income of the two halls to support people and horses and dare to say you don't have money? Today, I am silent. If I speak out and take sides, do you think you can swallow those millions of wish beads? Okay! You don't want to give it, right? Don't worry, I won't ask for help!"

"No! That's not what I meant. I meant to find a way to get together later." Miao Yi laughed dryly.

Aunt Qing and Aunt Yu smiled secretly behind him, and Miao Yi wished them both to be widows together.

In fact, he had always had a doubt in his heart. Cheng Aofang had been married several times. Did these two aunts also serve as companions to different men? But it was not easy to ask about such things.

Seeing that he had given in, Cheng Aofang said no more and reminded him, "Don't forget to go to Wuliang Country to participate in the 'Treasure Appraisal Conference'. Make arrangements for the following things as soon as possible." After today, she seemed to be more determined to take Miao Yi to the conference.

"Yes!" Miao Yi could only agree. He originally thought that it was still early and he didn't know what would change by then. Hearing Cheng Aofang mention it again, he knew that he had to go with her and couldn't run away.

Miao Yi, who left the Muxing Palace and flew in the air, was helpless. He had run around and spent a lot of time to get something, but the other party was so good that he had to hand over one million yuan without any effort. The higher the official, the more powerful he was!

He could only comfort himself. Fortunately, he only asked for one million yuan. If he asked for half, he would not be angry and would still have to give it out honestly. Who said it was ill-gotten gains!

However, he did not feel sorry for the money. He was not afraid that Cheng Aofang would ask for it, but he was afraid that Cheng Aofang would not dare to ask for it. If she dared to ask for it, it would be easy. If there was a chance to pull this woman to do a few big things, it would not matter if he took less...

After returning to the Zhenren Palace, Miao Yi directly broke into Yao Ruoxian's yard. Seeing Heitan who began to take a nap again, Miao Yi felt a little painful. Now that the situation has stabilized, Yao Ruoxian, who could not stand Heitan's entanglement, began to feed Heitan with Dan again.

Fortunately, Yao Ruoxian also knew that his financial resources were limited. Currently, he only targeted Heitan and the fifteen smaller mantises. He could afford three or four second-grade Jindan pills a month.

As for the other seventy mantises as big as dogs, they have begun to see some production effects and started to feed a large amount of gold crystals. The tails of the seventy large mantises have been smeared with a circle of amber gold. According to Yao Ruoxian's estimation, a fist-sized high-purity impurity-free crystal gold can be produced in a year, and it has begun to make money.

After finding Yao Ruoxian and telling him about the "Treasure Appraisal Conference", Miao Yi asked: "Old monster, you are also a treasure refiner, do you want to join in the fun?"

His idea was very simple. He was unfamiliar with the place, and it would be best if he could take Yao Ruoxian with him.

Unexpectedly, Yao Ruoxian didn't react at all, and said expressionlessly: "I'm not interested, get out! Don't bother me!"

It's not easy to force this matter. After all, outsiders can't figure out what's going on between Yao Ruoxian and Linglong Sect. Miao Yi can only give up this plan. He went back and hesitated for half a month before pretending to collect one million wish beads and sent them to Muxing Palace to Aunt Qing and Aunt Yu.

Yang Qing lived up to Miao Yi's expectations. He handled the affairs of the two halls properly and reported the situation of the two halls to Miao Yi regularly. Yang Qing would remind him of possible problems and issues that need attention in a timely manner, and he was more thoughtful than Miao Yi, so Miao Yi didn't need to worry about the affairs of the two halls at all, so he had a lot of time to practice with peace of mind.

And the affairs in the palace were watched by Yan Xiu, the internal steward, so Qian'er and Xue'er didn't need to worry too much. Miao Yi entered the state of practice, and the two girls also guarded the door of his quiet room, waiting for orders at any time, and accompanied Miao Yi into the state of practice.

In the state of cultivation, a few months passed quickly. Here, we received a message from the Wood Palace, asking Miao Yi to go to the Wood Palace to wait for orders.

Miao Yi, who had read the message with the jade tablet, knew that he was ready to leave. Last time, Cheng Aofang mentioned that the Wood Palace and the Water Palace were both close to the Wuliang Kingdom. The envoy Yue Tianbo would come here after leaving the capital, so we only need to wait in the Wood Palace.

"Let Yang Qing come to see me." Miao Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, said that he was leaving here and had to say hello to Yang Qing.

"Yes!" Xue'er took the order and left.

Soon Xueer came back to tell him that Yang Qing had arrived. Miao Yi then stopped and walked out. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw Yang Qing bowing and saying, "Sir!"

"Sit down and talk!" Miao Yi extended his hand to invite him to sit down. He walked to the main seat, pulled the hem of his long gown and sat down, saying, "I called you here to say hello. I'm going to be away for a while. If something happens, you won't be able to find me for a while, so you should have an idea of ​​the two palaces."

"Yes!" Yang Qing agreed, and then asked with a fist: "I wonder how long it will take for you to come back?"

"Wulian Country is going to hold a 'treasure appraisal conference', and the palace master ordered me to go with them. I don't know how long it will take to come back. It's just a conference, so it won't take too long..." At this point, Miao Yi was suddenly startled and found that Yang Qing's expression seemed a little dazed. He couldn't help asking, "Yang Qing, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, oh..." Yang Qing suddenly came back to his senses and said with a cupped hand: "I understand, Sir, go without worry." (To be continued)
