"Second Grade Transcendent Artifact!"
"Despicable! He actually relied on a Second Grade Transcendent Artifact to win! "
"Is it not despicable to fight two against one?"
"It was the two of them who teamed up first. Is it wrong to be forced to retaliate?"
The spectators were all criticizing each other.
Yang Qing, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression. With a smile on his face, he instructed, "There's no need to compete anymore. The other two will be tied for second place. Let's split the ten Orbs of Will equally."
After he finished speaking, he turned his dragon steed around and led the others away. A certain someone's cloak was very eye-catching on him.
The crowd returned one after another. Competing for the prize was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but now it had ended in a ruckus.
Fan Renfang and Fang Ziyu, who were called to the side by Xiong Xiao alone, were embarrassed. They cupped their fists together and apologized, "We have failed Mountain Chieftain's expectations!"
It wasn't because they didn't have a chance against Miao Yi. Miao Yi didn't want to fight, so they couldn't do anything about it. Naturally, they couldn't be blamed. The crux of the matter was that the two of them didn't even make it into the top twenty and lost.
Xiong Xiao chuckled and consoled them, "Don't take it to heart. This kind of competition is just for the prize. It can't be taken seriously. When it comes to a life and death struggle, how can the difference between life and death be decided by the ranking of the competition?"
The two of them hurriedly thanked the Mountain Chieftain for her magnanimity.
Unexpectedly, Xiong Xiao said indifferently, "Each Mountain Chieftain will lead two capable subordinates to escort the Manor Head to Suppressing Second Hall when she brings all the Orbs of Will collected from South Edict Manor. I believe Qin Weiwei won't be bringing that brat. You can make preparations in advance. Do you understand what I mean?"
Of course they understood. He had already made it so clear. How could they not understand?
Fan Renfang and Fang Ziyu looked at each other. They didn't know why the Mountain Chieftain was so determined to make life difficult for that brat. They could only cup their fists and say, "Yes!"
"I don't want to see that brat return to East Arrival Cave alive. Make it clean and don't leave any trouble behind." Xiong Xiao instructed, then turned and left.
He didn't believe that the brat would be able to escape if two White Lotus Fifth Grade cultivators attacked him together.
Qin Weiwei had also gathered Mount Calming Sea's troops in South Edict. Gongsun Yu, who was tied for second in the competition, was the last to arrive. He changed into a set of clean clothes and walked into the courtyard.
This person didn't look very old, and he had a dignified appearance, giving off a feeling of elegance and grace.
The moment Gongsun Yu entered, he immediately walked up to Qin Weiwei, who was standing with her hands behind her back, and apologized for his actions. He said that he had let down the Mountain Chieftain's expectations, and so on. The way he looked at Qin Weiwei was a little strange.
However, Miao Yi transmitted his voice to one of his subordinates, "Why do I feel that the way this Cave Master Gongsun looks at Wh … at Mountain Chieftain doesn't seem right. Don't tell me there's something going on between them!"
Zheng Jinlong tried to stifle his laughter. It seemed that this Cave Master really did not have a good impression of the Mountain Chieftain. He immediately transmitted his voice back, "Cave Master, you may not know this, but I heard some news from the seniors in the sect. When the Mountain Chieftain went to Mount Calming Sea to take up her post, this Gongsun Yu took the initiative to ask Manor Head for an assignment, saying that he wanted to follow the Mountain Chieftain. There's also a rumor that Gongsun Yu has indeed been courting our Mountain Chieftain for a long time. As for whether or not he's succeeded, I don't know. "
"I say, no wonder. Villains collude with each other. What kind of superior has what kind of subordinates …"
Miao Yi muttered to himself with a look of disdain.
Zheng Jinlong wanted to remind the Cave Master, 'You seem to have scolded yourself as well.'
On the other side, Qin Weiwei took the initiative to support Gongsun Yu's arm. She actually revealed a rare smile. He had indeed brought honor to Mount Calming Sea today. She consoled him, "Victory and defeat are common occurrences. Cave Master Gongsun need not blame yourself. Besides, you didn't lose because your skills were inferior, but because you lost to the opponent's transcendent artifact …"
Her gaze fell onto Miao Yi's face. When she saw the disdainful look on that guy's face, her good mood instantly vanished. The smile on her face vanished as well. With a cold expression, she added, "At least you're much better than those who get cold feet and don't dare to fight!"
"Uh …" Gongsun Yu was taken aback. He subconsciously turned to look at Miao Yi.
The other Cave Masters and their subordinates also held back their laughter as their gazes fell onto Miao Yi. 'Weren't you very arrogant, brat?'
"..." Who are you talking about? How did I get dragged into this? ' Miao Yi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. His expression twitched as he looked at Qin Weiwei. He realized that this slut was always making things difficult for him. 'Seeing that Yang Qing has treated me well, I'll endure it!'
Zheng Jinlong and Wang Zifa couldn't take it any longer. After all, they were part of East Arrival Cave. Being humiliated in public like this, they were naturally not in a good mood. They thought to themselves, 'No wonder the Cave Master called this woman a slut. She was indeed a slut!'
Qin Weiwei couldn't care less about Miao Yi's mood. She turned to Gongsun Yu and continued, "The Manor Head has ordered each Mountain Chieftain to bring two capable subordinates to escort the items that South Edict has handed over this year. I originally wanted to bring you along, but now that you're injured …"
Before she could finish, Gongsun Yu immediately cupped his fists and requested, "It's only a small injury. It's not a big deal. I am willing to serve you. I hope the Mountain Chieftain will allow me to follow you."
'Adulterous couple!' Miao Yi cursed in his heart.
Qin Weiwei was hesitant, but after Gongsun Yu's repeated requests, she finally nodded her head and agreed.
She turned to the others and ordered, "The rest of you, return to your respective territories."
"Yes!" Everyone obeyed and dispersed.
Qin Weiwei cast a sidelong glance at Miao Yi, who had an unhappy expression on his face. She felt a surge of joy in her heart!
The troops and Cave Masters of each mountain, a large group of people, left one after another through the mountain gates of South Edict Manor.
The Cave Masters of the various Caves in Mount Calming Sea were probably being polite to Miao Yi on the surface out of respect for Yang Qing. However, there was still a portion of the journey back to Mount Calming Sea that they could travel together. However, when they were leaving together, not a single one of them invited Miao Yi. It was obvious that they didn't think that Miao Yi was on the same level as them.
The Great Cave Master Miao wasn't willing to return to the territory of Mount Calming Sea with those snobbish bastards. He didn't want to make things difficult for them along the way, so he found an excuse to go to Qian Zifeng and Zhou Liqin's cultivation mansions to have a drink before leaving.
Qian Zifeng and Zhou Liqin were not on duty today. Both sides could be considered to have built a friendship, so the two of them personally sent Miao Yi to the mountain gate.
Miao Yi led Zheng Jinlong and Wang Zifa on the mountain road, which had been trampled by the people who had come before them, and the snow had turned into a mess.
Compared to the group of people who were leaving in a lively manner, he seemed a little lonely, and also a little out of place.
Miao Yi also knew that some things were very realistic. The reason he could become the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave with his own cultivation was entirely because of Yang Qing's appreciation. Without Yang Qing, he wouldn't be where he was today. In terms of cultivation, compared to the other Cave Masters, there was indeed a large gap. It was normal for them to look down on you. You couldn't expect everyone who was stronger than you to lower their stance and befriend you. There was no such logic. So in the end, it was still his own cultivation that was too weak. He couldn't blame others.
About two hundred li away from South Edict Manor, the three of them galloped on the official road.
The three of them didn't utter a word, and only knew how to hurry on with their journey. Zheng Jinlong and Wang Zifa also knew that the Cave Master wasn't in a good mood, so they maintained their silence.
