"Your Cave Master is so arrogant. Since he won't come out to see me, then I'll have to go see him myself." Qing Ju smiled as she walked towards the silent quarters.
Qian'Er was a little anxious. The Cave Master was bathing naked. Only she and Xue'Er could enter. How could outsiders enter? She stepped forward and stopped Qing Ju, "The Cave Master is bathing. Please wait a moment, Little Auntie."
Qing Ju's expression instantly turned cold as she glared at Qian'Er.
She could ignore Miao Yi's rudeness, but a mere Cave Master girl dared to stop her. Did he really think she had no temper?
Qian'Er was startled by her glare. She bit her lip and slowly retreated.
After watching the blue dress disappear, Yan Xiu quickly pulled Zheng Jinlong and Wang Zifa to the side and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
"Sigh! It's a long story. The Cave Master's trip to South Edict Manor was not smooth. He almost lost his life on the way back … "The two of them roughly explained what happened.
Yan Xiu sucked in a breath of cold air as he listened. He didn't expect the Cave Master to be so valiant, to actually kill two Cave Masters.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er were also frightened as they listened. They didn't expect their Cave Master to be so powerful. Other Cave Masters weren't their Cave Master's match …
Inside the silent quarters, Miao Yi's eyes widened when he saw Qing Ju walking in with a smile. He thought he was seeing things and quickly turned around. He grabbed a piece of clothing and pressed it into the water, covering his lower body. He anxiously asked, "Why did you come in? Didn't I tell you I was bathing? "
"Using this excuse to hide from me is not a good idea. Why don't you think who in your East Arrival Cave would dare to stop me? You're asking for it." Qing Ju walked to the side of the bath and stood there. Her gaze was unbridled as she pursed her lips and smiled, "Nothing will go wrong if I look. Besides, you're covering it so tightly that I can't see anything."
"Little Auntie, I was wrong, alright? Go out first. I'll be right back. "Miao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he begged.
"No need. This is good. It can make you behave." Qing Ju slightly lifted the hem of her skirt and slowly squatted by the side of the bath. She reached out to scoop up some water and poured it on his face. She sighed, "Did you think Manor Head only wanted me to escort you?"
Miao Yi was speechless. How could a woman look at a man bathing without the slightest bit of embarrassment? He sighed and said, "Little Auntie, what are you trying to say?"
Qing Ju asked, "Do you have any complaints about the Manor Head favoring Xiong Xiao?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Miao Yi snorted angrily and added, "I'm afraid anyone with eyes would be able to tell that Xiong Xiao is acting."
"So what? It's not a problem for the Manor Head to treat everyone equally. "Qing Ju retorted," But do you have the qualifications? The reason was simple. No matter how good the Manor Head was to you, you did not have the qualifications to replace Xiong Xiao. Was he going to lose one of the Manor Head's generals for a weak cultivator like you? To put it bluntly, if Xiong Xiao flies into a rage out of humiliation and kills you on the spot, the Palace Lord won't do anything to him because you're not worthy. If it weren't for the Palace Lord's reputation, do you think Xiong Xiao wouldn't dare to do that? "
Miao Yi silently calmed down and didn't utter a single word. He understood that there was a problem with his mentality. He was too self-righteous and demanded too much. What qualifications and qualifications did he have to make Yang Qing do this and that for him? He didn't even know his own worth.
"This time, I've completely fallen out with Xiong Xiao. Sooner or later, Xiong Xiao will come looking for me to settle the score. If he comes secretly, I'm afraid even the Manor Head's words won't be able to stop him."
Miao Yi quietly said. This was what he was most worried about.
Qing Ju chuckled and said, "The Manor Head knows you're worried about this. Come to think of it, if the Manor Head asks you to let him go, will you let him go once you have the chance to secretly attack him? "
Miao Yi was taken aback. After pondering for a moment, he bluntly said, "I won't!"
"That's right. You've thought it through now, right?"
"But it's different. Xiong Xiao's strength far surpasses mine. He can attack me at any time. How would I dare to touch him now?"
"Don't tell me you want the Manor Head to stay by your side and protect you every day? There are some things that you have to rely on yourself. Others can't give you too much. The Manor Head sending me here to guide you is already being extremely benevolent. Others can't enjoy this kind of treatment. If you continue to complain, then it won't be right. "
Miao Yi slowly nodded and said, "I understand."
"The Manor Head has something for me to tell you. Don't blame him for being unfair. If he can side with Xiong Xiao, then he can also side with you in the future. The premise is that you, Miao Yi, have the qualifications to replace Xiong Xiao. I'll give you a promise. As long as you have that ability, forget about killing Xiong Xiao, even if you were to take down Mount Shaotai, it wouldn't matter. At that time, the Manor Head will turn a blind eye, and the position of Mount Shaotai's Mountain Chieftain will be yours! It's already an exception for him to go against the majority and promote you to the position of Cave Master. In the future, he can't always make exceptions to help you like this. It won't be fair to others. You still need to show your own ability. "
After saying all this, Qing Ju patted Miao Yi's shoulder and took advantage of him. She stood up and said, "Whether you can think it through or not, that's all I have to say. Alright, to be able to feast my eyes on the great Cave Master Miao's bath, it's not a wasted trip. If I continue to stay here, outsiders won't know what bad things I've done to you. Take your time to bathe. I've completed the Manor Head's task. I'll return to South Edict Manor first. "
Miao Yi quickly said, "Wait a moment. I'll send Little Auntie off."
"Oh!" Qing Ju turned around and stared at him sitting in the water, his hands tightly covering his nether regions. With a face full of ridicule, she said, "Alright, then hurry up and get up. I'll wait for you to send me off!"
"Ugh …" Miao Yi's expression twitched, thinking, 'How am I supposed to get up when you're here?'
Qing Ju chuckled, then turned around and left. "No need to send me off."
There were some things she didn't say, and she wouldn't say them in front of Miao Yi. Miao Yi was someone Yang Qing had his eyes on. With Xiong Xiao acting behind his back, it would be strange if Yang Qing felt comfortable in his heart. However, the School of Blue Jade was currently eyeing South Edict Manor covetously. He was already lacking manpower, so Yang Qing couldn't afford to flare up.
When Miao Yi crawled out of the water and put on his clothes, he ran outside to ask around. Only then did he find out that Qing Ju had already left. Yan Xiu had even sent Zheng Jinlong and Wang Zifa to escort her, causing the two of them to run back and forth. But this was something that couldn't be helped …
Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who were following behind, were a little hesitant to speak. They didn't know if the Cave Master had put on his clothes when Auntie Qing Ju went in, but there were some things that they shouldn't be asking.
Even though the two of them clearly knew that they were only the Cave Master's handmaidens and had no right to interfere, they were still a little jealous. They felt that when the Cave Master was bathing, only the two of them could enter. What was the matter with other women, especially the Manor Head's handmaidens, going in? Shameless!
"Cave Master, is everything alright?" Yan Xiu asked from the side.
Miao Yi shook his head and gave an irrelevant answer, "Let's go to the seaside to take a look at the ships that have been built."
