She had just thought of doing this to Han He a moment ago, but the thought caused her to gasp in shock and she quickly knelt down and crawled over, saying, "Venerable Lord, Venerable Lord, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
She knew that if she angered Peng Yingyu, even if Peng Yingyu killed her, her master, Undying Bird Han Miaozhen, would not say another word, not even daring to have the slightest resentment towards Peng Yingyu. Such was the influence of Peng Yingyu.
Yu Mei Zi, with blood frothing at her mouth, crawled right up to Peng Yingyu, who didn’t even look at her and said, "What is the first rule of Holy Sect?"
"No, do not harm fellow sect members!"
Yu Mei Zi said tremblingly, and Peng Yingyu spoke, "Remember this, today is a minor punishment to serve as a major warning, next time, we will act according to sect rules."
Yu Mei Zi was so frightened that she shivered all over and then did not dare to say another word.
Although Han He was startled at the time, especially since Yu Mei Zi had suddenly attacked her severely, her first reaction after coming to her senses was not to settle accounts with Yu Mei Zi but to kneel on the ground and say, "Venerable Lord, my teacher’s niece was just momentarily anxious, it was not intentional, please forgive her, Venerable Lord."
She was actually pleading for Yu Mei Zi. Peng Yingyu glanced at Han He, his face full of appreciation. He truly saw the shadow of Han Miaozhen in Han He.
She was the same in the past.
Why did Han He plead for Yu Mei Zi? Did she not hate Yu Mei Zi?
No, it was because she and Yu Mei Zi represented Undying Bird Han Miaozhen in front of Peng Yingyu, which meant that their disgrace was actually the disgrace of Undying Bird Han Miaozhen.
Thus, she could only stand up to protect Yu Mei Zi.
But Yu Mei Zi, with her head bowed, showed no gratitude, her eyes revealing a hint of resentment. However, she was injured and with Peng Yingyu still present, she couldn’t say much.
She could only kneel and beg for mercy.
At this moment, Ba Tan, who had been watching the drama for a long time, felt the timing was right and stepped forward, saying, "Master Peng, I, Ba Tan, come at the command of Prince Qi to pay my respects to the master."
Peng Yingyu glanced at Ba Tan and said, "Prince Qi, haha, how dare he trouble himself to think of me."
Ba Tan quickly said, "Master is too modest. Prince Qi has always been thinking of you, my master. He instructed us to invite Master to visit the Shanxi Prince Qi Mansion."
Peng Yingyu said, "Oh, Shanxi, I might visit when I have time. Go back and thank him for his kindness."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely convey Master’s words. But Master, our Prince Qi genuinely hopes to be on good terms with you. He is willing to offer you the position of Minister in Gansu, inviting you to enter the Prince Qi Residence as an honored guest."
"Hehe, my Uncle Li really is willing to spend quite a bit."
Zhao Ya said, smiling after hearing Ba Tan’s words.
Hearing this, Ba Tan said nothing but looked at Peng Yingyu, who then said, "Prince Qi’s kindness is well received, but I, an outsider, how could I take on the role of Minister?"
After saying this, he looked at Zhao Ya and said, "But Commandery Princess, when Prince Qi is willing to offer such generous gifts, your Ruyang Royal Mansion has no gesture, isn’t that falling behind?"
Zhao Ya said, "Our Ruyang Royal Mansion is different from Prince Qi Residence, we adhere to virtue and talent. Although Master’s abilities reach Heaven and Earth, managing a province requires both civil and military skills, and I fear Master may not be up to such a significant task."
Peng Yingyu replied, "Commandery Princess, you do speak quite frankly."
Ba Tan also interjected, "Commandery Princess, what kind of person is Master? How do you know Master can’t handle civil administration? Are you belittling the Master?"
Zhao Ya looked at Ba Tan and laughed, "You really are trying hard, aren’t you?"
After that, Zhao Ya ignored Ba Tan and looked at Peng Yingyu, "Master, just now you mentioned you also want to enter the Medicine King Treasure. May I dare ask the Master, how are we to proceed, can we enter, please clarify, Master."
Peng Yingyu looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Haha, after a long talk, it’s you, Commandery Princess, who gets to the point. Rest assured, you all can enter this Medicine King Treasure. However, I hope you do not start conflicts lightly, the focus should be on treasure hunting."
Hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "Yes, Master, we understand."
Upon hearing this, everyone else understood as well, normal entry meaning Peng Yingyu would not compete with them for the treasure, concerning not initiating conflict lightly.
Zhao Ya glanced at Yu Mei Zi, thinking that perhaps it was best to let these of Zoroastrian Sect off the hook for now.
Ba Tan also looked at Yu Mei Zi, thinking to himself, let her off the hook then, not looking at the monk’s face but looking at the Buddha’s face, giving face to Peng Yingyu is necessary.
Just like that, Peng Yingyu said, "Ah, that’s about right, you should leave now, otherwise you’ll disturb their rest."
Peng Yingyu pointed to the surrounding beggars.
These beggars had been frightened silly; any of these powerful individuals could crush them as easily as crushing a bug. At this moment, everyone curled up, truly daring not to say another word.
These bigwigs looked at the beggars, and Yu Mei Zi said, "Venerable, what are you doing here, come with us back to the Yihong House..."
Han He violently coughed upon hearing this. Yu Mei Zi, you really are crazy. Yihong House is a place of fireworks, inviting the master to stay at a place of fireworks, you really are something.
Although everyone knew Peng Yingyu was a playboy monk, he only indulged in food and drink, not breaking the precept of chastity!
At that moment, Zhao Ya and Ba Tan had issued their invitations, but Peng Yingyu said, "The sky would be my canopy, the land my bed, the sun, moon, and stars my companions in sleep. Your places are too cramped, I will not go."
