102 Emergency Evacuation 1
Long Meifang was baffled. She was in charge of protecting the carriage, and she could only sense Xu Miao inside. Xu Xiuying, who went missing, shouldn't be in the carriage.
Still, Long Meifang kept this info to herself. She glared at Dong Zhongying, pretending that the vice master was here, "You heard her. Now, dogs of the imperial family, FUCK OFF, OR ELSE!"
Meanwhile, Dong Zhongying was sweating profusely when he heard Xu Xiuying's voice.
"X-X-Xu Xiuying!? Why are you still here!? I meant-what happened to the other units that are supposed to occupy you and your mother-"
Long Meifang and all disciples revealed gleaming eyes. The slipped information just now revealed that he had something to do with the disappearance of Xu Xiuying and Xu Lanying. It might be possible that the imperial force had drawn the two bosses away from the city today while these goons came here to seek trouble.
Cold menacing killing intent from the carriage soared. Xu Xiuying's voice got louder.
"WHERE I AM AND HOW I AM HERE IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!! IF YOU HAVE A THE GUTS, COME MEET YOUR MOTHER IN THE CARRIAGE, AND I'LL SHOW YOU HOW I TURNED YOUR FATHER INTO A BITCH!!"
Hearing the angry voice, Dong Zhongying squealed like a pig and shrunk back in fear.
The subordinates of Dong Zhongying activated their essence and were about to attack the carriage. Yet, Dong Zhongying raised his trembling hand to stop them.
"Y-YOU FOOL!! DON'T DO IT!! IF SHE'S HERE, XU LANYING SHOULD BE AROUND!! WE CAN'T TAKE ON XU XIUYING AND XU LANYING WITH OUR UNIT!!"
Everyone stared at the fat man in confusion. Normally, a group of 5th-stage cultivators like them could annihilate a sect easily. Yet, Dong Zhongying was afraid of Xu Xiuying and Xu Lanying.
"RETREAT!! NOW!!"
All subordinates behind Dong Zhongying frowned. From their initial scan, there was only one passenger inside the carriage, which was the groom.
In curiosity, they double-checked by spreading Qi sense to inspect the carriage again.
Then, they found a weak man and something sinister. It was a spiritual aura, and it snatched their Qi strands, absorbing their power.
"!!!"
All Dong Zhongying's followers summoned back their Qi strands before their power got stolen by the aura spirit inside the carriage.
Because of Dong Zhongying's behavior and the unknown aura, everyone was cautious of the carriage. They nodded to each other and retreated, flying outside of the city to regroup.
Long Meifang's eyes became big [O_O] as she couldn't believe the absurd development. It was a miracle that these overbearing imperial emissaries retreated without a fight.
Also, Long Meifang didn't understand how Xu Xiuying appeared inside the carriage. She could sense Xu Miao's presence, but she couldn't detect other people inside.
Long Meifang nodded in joy. She shouted, "You heard her, ladies! We're going home!"
…
Inside the carriage, Xu Miao was also sweating profusely. Just now, he thought that all the girls would have been abducted and violated by the pigman.
Fortunately, the system saved him and everyone here.
'Thanks, White Album.'
Xu Miao gazed at the semi-transparent spirit, who was sitting in front of him.
[My pleasure, master.]
The spirit entered Xu Miao's body. But before she went to sleep, she begged her master.
[Don't forget to feed me tonight. I've used a lot of energy to generate voice.]
'I know. I'll buy you the spirit pills.'
[YAY!!]
Xu Miao heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad that he had bought this peculiar guardian spirit from the system shop.

When Long Meifang and Dong Zhongying were bickering, Xu Miao summoned the familiar and asked her to pretend to be Xu Xiuying. Then, he ordered her to bluff them.
The tactic worked. The familiar managed to drive them away temporarily by using Xu Xiuying's presence. Although Xu Miao didn't know how the familiar got the original's memory and came up with such a threatening killing intent, he appreciated the familiar's usefulness.
'We made it through for now, but this tactic won't work again. I should head back and use Yao Lan's secret underground passages to get away from here.'
Xu Miao began sending texts to his 10 yin slaves.

A few minutes later, the caravan returned to the brothel. Long Meifang guided the groom's convoy to the brothel in a hurry. All escorts ran as if their lives were depending on it.
As soon as the carriage parked, Xu Miao jumped off from the vehicle and dashed into the brothel. While he was running, he threw the annoying headwear and his wig away, revealing his short black hair and red eyes.
All receptionists stared at Xu Miao with a skeptical look. They wanted to stop him, but they recalled that it was Xu Miao, the adopted son of Xu Xiuying.
Xu Miao shouted, ordering everyone to get inside the building, "GET IN THE BUILDING!! PACK EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN AND GATHER AT THE LOBBY WITHIN 10 MINUTES! WE WILL EVACUATE FROM THIS CITY ASAP!!"
"Evacuate!?" Long Meifang ran after Xu Miao, "Wait a second, what the hell did you do back there!? Where is Xu Xiuying!?"
"Just now, I've used a trick and pretended to be Xu Xiuying. But that trick might not work anymore."
"I see! So you can change your voice, right!?"
Long Meifang misunderstood, but Xu Miao didn't bother correcting her. He changed the subject to avoid revealing his skills, "Say, do you know those people?"
"Sort of. I heard from Xu Xiuying that they were the emperor's goons. But why the evacuation?" Long Meifang was still confused about why Xu Miao wanted everyone out of this city.
"Remember about the space-time technique that Xie Tian used in the assessment exam?"
"Ah, I didn't pay attention. Wait, space-time technique!?"
Xu Miao stopped running and looked at Long Meifang, "Xu Xiuying abducted the bastard and extorted the secret from him."
This was the first time that Long Meifang paid attention to political strife in her sect. She dropped her jaw as she connected the dots.
Xu Miao explained, "You should have heard what those men said. They are here to investigate Xie Tian and the existence of the time-and-space technique. Now, let me ask you this. What will happen if they are aware that Xie Tian is with us?"
Long Meifang's face turned solemn, "Those motherfuckers must have come here to steal the secret!"
"Correct. And their primary target is the one who has captured Xie Tian."
"Us."
"Exactly."
"So, the reason why you want to evacuate…" Long Meifang understood why there were so many strong cultivators in the city. They were investigating the whereabouts of Xie Tian and the Silver Phoenix Sect's background.
Fortunately, none of them had made their moves against the sect yet. If Long Meifang had to guess, it might relate to Xu Lanying's presence.
Xu Miao smiled and tried to explain in a simpler way, "Have you ever played chess?"
"Yeah, but what's that has to do with the evacuation?"
"There was a unique game of chess that players can capture the opponent's chess pieces and use them as the player's own pieces. It's called Shogi, but you probably never heard of it."
Long Meifang frowned. She didn't understand what Xu Miao was trying to say.
"Many elite players came up with several proverbs, which can help beginners adapt to the tactics. Several proverbs can be applied in real life, too."
"And?"
"There's a proverb that is very useful in the situation we're in," Xu Miao revealed a wide smile, "The King's early escape is worth eight moves. In this situation, if we escape early, we won't get entangled in unnecessary fights, and we'll have more time to react against our enemies."
"OH!!" Long Meifang's eyes glittered, "You're quite smart. I thought that only dick and pussies were the only things you can think of!"
Xu Miao rolled his eyes. He couldn't get angry at Long Meifang since she stated the fact.
"You'd better go back to the CP Hall and pack everything. We'll leave the sect through the secret passage that Yao Lan left behind for me. Also, gather all disciples and workers. We don't want anyone to get captured by those horny dogs outside."
"Of course! Say, should I bring the broken girls, too?"
Xu Miao gave Long Meifang an odd look. Then, he recalled the 10 former drug-addicted women that he converted into his yin slaves.
"How many broken girls are you hiding?"
"I don't know. Xu Xiuying and Yao Lan are in charge of those. Maybe a hundred?"
Xu Miao rubbed his chin as he got an inspiration.
