Qin Weiwei's pair of bright eyes swept over him from time to time. She waited for a while, but he did not speak, so she could only take the initiative to ask, "Is there anything else?"
Miao Yi laughed dryly, as though he was a little embarrassed to speak.
Qin Weiwei calmly said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that our East Arrival Cave has suffered a little too great of a loss this time. Whenever I think about it, I can't eat or sleep in peace …."
Qin Weiwei waited for him to continue, but he did not. She then said indifferently, "Didn't I already agree to replenish your twenty men? Could it be that you want me to take out something else? What do you want? "
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to remind Mountain Chieftain of that battle. Even now, I'm still scared out of my wits. Mountain Chieftain's situation at that time was too dangerous …"
Qin Weiwei frowned slightly, "Are you trying to remind me that you saved my life? Do you want me to express my gratitude? "
"No, no, no!" Miao Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant."
Beside him, Hong Mian couldn't hold it in any longer. She couldn't help but ask, "Cave Master Miao, what exactly are you trying to say? Can't you be more straightforward?"
"Elder Auntie, don't worry. It's actually nothing much. I just feel a little sorry for the Mountain Chieftain." Miao Yi put on an expression as if they were bound by a common enemy. He pointed outside the window and said, "Think about it. The reason why Mountain Chieftain was in danger was because someone had purposely lured her into an ambush. However, that despicable person is still at large. Just thinking about it makes me feel sorry for Mountain Chieftain."
Hong Mian and Lu Liu exchanged glances. The two of them weren't present at the scene, so they didn't quite understand Miao Yi's true meaning.
However, Qin Weiwei couldn't help but grit her teeth, because she understood.
I had thought that this fellow would have something up his sleeves, but it turns out that he is still thinking about Yuan Zhengkun's head. What do you mean by feeling sorry for me? It is obvious that you want to settle the score with Yuan Zhengkun and deliberately beat around the bush to instigate me. Why can't this fellow change his vile character …
"Many thanks for Cave Master Miao's understanding," Qin Weiwei said expressionlessly.
Miao Yi was a little disappointed that he didn't see what he had hoped for. He continued to remind her, "Mountain Chieftain, that guy almost caused you to lose your life. Are you going to let them off just like that? "
Qin Weiwei replied, "What Xiong Xiao said is right. During the war, everyone serves their own masters. There's nothing wrong with using all sorts of methods. The fault lies with my own carelessness. What's more, they've already surrendered to my South Edict Manor, and are now selling their lives for us. What else do you want me to do to them? "
As soon as Xiong Xiao was mentioned, the Great Cave Master Miao's spirit was instantly aroused, and his eyes widened slightly. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing six storage rings that were even more eye-catching than before. He had completely lost the refined demeanor he had put on earlier, and loudly said, "That old crook Xiong Xiao doesn't have any good intentions at all. He saw that I was going to kill them, so he purposely came out to stop me from accepting their surrender. He's deliberately going against me. Mountain Chieftain, please don't fall for that old crook's trick. Mountain Chieftain, you've seen how loyal and devoted this subordinate is to you. This subordinate is truly willing to climb a mountain of blades and plunge into a sea of flames for Mountain Chieftain. I'm sure it won't be convenient for you to show yourself, so why don't you leave it to me? I guarantee that I'll avenge you, and I'll do it without anyone knowing. I won't let anyone look down on Mount Calming Sea. "
Hong Mian and Lu Liu glanced at each other again. So there was such an inside story. They had to ask the Mountain Chieftain about it later.
Qin Weiwei had finally learned her lesson today. She really wanted to ask the Great Cave Master Miao, 'Can you be any more shameless? You're obviously the one who wants to do it, yet you're pushing me out to be your shield. What kind of person is he! No wonder he wanted to chase Gongsun Yu away. '
Forcefully restraining her urge to change her expression, Qin Weiwei continued to ask expressionlessly, "What do you want to do?"
Miao Yi's eyes brightened, thinking that she had agreed. He immediately whispered furtively, "Mountain Chieftain, you have a good relationship with the Manor Head. Can you think of a way to obtain the distribution of Xiong Xiao's subordinates from the Manor Head, and find out where those three fellows are? This shouldn't be a difficult task for you. Don't worry, Mountain Chieftain. I will definitely not let anyone know that this matter has anything to do with you. You can rest assured and leave it to me. I will definitely avenge you. Even if something happens, I promise to take responsibility alone. I will definitely not implicate Mountain Chieftain! "
Qin Weiwei's bright eyes stared straight into his, unblinking. She didn't expose him, and just watched him spout nonsense like that.
Miao Yi felt a little guilty from her stare, and promised once again, "Mountain Chieftain, I can swear to the heavens that I will not implicate you!" His face was full of sincerity.
However, those who knew of their relationship would doubt his sincerity. Even Hong Mian and Lu Liu were wondering what this guy was up to.
Actually, Miao Yi had no other choice. He really didn't know where Xiong Xiao had arranged for Yuan Zhengkun and the other two. Even though his subordinates were strong and well-trained, he couldn't possibly take turns raiding all of Xiong Xiao's mountains and abodes. At the moment, he didn't have the influence and strength to do so.
He had originally ordered Chen Fei to investigate, but there had been no news from him until now. He reckoned that it wouldn't be convenient for Chen Fei to inquire about this matter before he had a firm foothold.
He also wanted to investigate through the School of Blue Jade's disciples, because even now, the School of Blue Jade's disciples were scattered all over South Edict Manor. However, their information channels weren't as efficient as before.
In Yuan Fang's words, Yang Qing was currently guarding against the School of Blue Jade's disciples colluding with each other. He was keeping a close eye on them, so it wouldn't be easy to inquire.
Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan were absolutely supportive of the Cave Master's wish to instigate internal strife within Yang Qing's ranks, but it was indeed difficult to inquire.
Miao Yi also knew that it wouldn't be easy to inquire. After the great battle, all the abodes were on high alert, and outsiders wouldn't be able to approach.
Miao Yi could also wait a little longer. This wasn't some extremely important secret. With enough time, he would naturally be able to find out the whereabouts of those three bastards. However, the dozen corpses hanging on the ruins of the East Arrival Grand Hall couldn't wait too long.
It was still easier to handle during the winter, but once spring arrived and the weather warmed up, one could imagine what would happen to those dozen corpses.
Not to mention, he felt uncomfortable looking at those corpses all day without being able to avenge them. It was also true that he couldn't eat or sleep in peace.
He had sworn that as long as he couldn't avenge them, he wouldn't rebuild East Arrival Cave.
No matter how he thought about it, he didn't believe that Qin Weiwei wouldn't hate those people after almost losing her life. If he were in her shoes, he would definitely want to take revenge. Hence, he placed his thoughts on Qin Weiwei, which resulted in this scene.
However, as the Mountain Chieftain and Yuan Zhengkun's adopted daughter, how could Qin Weiwei agree to Miao Yi's request? Even if she couldn't wait to tear Yuan Zhengkun's body into a thousand pieces, she still wouldn't do such a thing.
If she really was such a person who didn't care about the bigger picture, she would have killed Miao Yi first when she was itching to kill him.
Even if she agreed with Miao Yi's words in her heart, she wouldn't agree to it verbally. She slowly stood up from behind the long table, and shook her head resolutely, "No!"
Miao Yi was stunned, but he still couldn't accept it. "Mountain Chieftain, I'm doing this for your own good!"
Qin Weiwei once again clarified, "No!"
Miao Yi could tell that no matter what he said, there was nothing he could do. There was something wrong with his brain as well. He didn't even think about how this bitch had never taken a liking to him. Being snubbed was his own fault, and he still had to think of a way himself.
"If it was Cave Master Gongsun who asked, it would definitely work." The Great Cave Master Miao, who was feeling very displeased, muttered to himself.
As soon as he said those words, the three women were taken aback. However, they quickly realized what he meant. It wasn't like the three of them didn't know about the rumors circulating outside about Gongsun Yu and Qin Weiwei's relationship. Even Manor Head Yang Qing had inquired about it.
Qin Weiwei had always believed that an upright person was not afraid of slanderous accusations. She and Gongsun Yu only had a superior and subordinate relationship. Now that she suddenly heard these words from Miao Yi's mouth, she didn't know why, but the slanderous rumors that she had previously disdained to bother herself with suddenly made her tremble with anger. Her face was as cold as frost, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "Miao Yi! What do you mean by this? "
"Your subordinate is asking for instructions from the Mountain Chieftain. If there are no further instructions, then I will take my leave!" Miao Yi cupped his fists, and turned to leave.
"Stop right there!" Qin Weiwei was furious. She wasn't deaf.
Miao Yi thought to himself, 'It looks like she's really angry from being exposed by me.' He slowly turned around, cupped his fists and asked, "Does the Mountain Chieftain have any other instructions?"
Qin Weiwei's chest heaved rapidly for a while. After she had calmed down a little, she coldly said, "The people outside are spouting nonsense. It's not what you think."
Hong Mian and Lu Liu were stunned. The Mountain Chieftain had always disdained to explain things like this. What was going on today?
The two of them quickly turned to look at Miao Yi, as though they were trying to figure out the situation from their reactions.
The Great Cave Master Miao replied with an 'Oh', cupped his fists and said, "Your subordinate understands."
Seeing his hypocritical attitude, Qin Weiwei's heart burned with anger again. She glared at him, clenched her fists and asked, "What do you understand?"
Miao Yi didn't know what he understood. In any case, even if it was for Yang Qing's sake, he still didn't want to have a falling out with her in public to the point where it couldn't be cleaned up. He changed the topic and said, "East Arrival Cave has become a pile of rubble. Your subordinate still needs to think of a way to rebuild it. If the Mountain Chieftain has no further instructions, then I will take my leave."
"Stop right there!" Qin Weiwei shouted once more, having the urge to rush up and give this bastard a good beating.
However, when she saw Hong Mian and Lu Liu staring at her with wide eyes, she immediately realized that she had lost her composure. She strove to control her emotions, and said in a low voice, "Stay in Mount Calming Sea for now. Once all the Cave Masters have arrived, follow me to escort the items to Ever Peace Manor!"
This was a sudden message from Yang Qing's side. Qin Weiwei didn't know what Yang Qing's intentions were. In short, Yang Qing had personally mentioned that Miao Yi was to accompany the escort this time. In the message she received, Yang Qing had repeatedly emphasized that Miao Yi must be present. As for the reason, Yang Qing didn't say.
Miao Yi didn't think too much about it. He just assumed that Mount Calming Sea didn't have enough manpower right now. The only reason they brought him along was to ensure the safety of the item they were delivering. He immediately cupped his fists and said, "Understood!"
Qin Weiwei turned around and waved her hand, gesturing for him to leave.
Miao Yi quickly went down to the loft and saw Gongsun Yu still pacing back and forth in the courtyard, unwilling to leave. He sneered in his heart, 'This adulterous couple still says it's nothing.'
"Cave Master Miao." Gongsun Yu came to greet him.
Miao Yi mockingly pointed at the loft behind him and said, "Go quickly. The Mountain Chieftain is waiting for you!"
Gongsun Yu immediately became spirited. He cupped his fists and quickly went to the loft.
In the end, not long after he entered the loft, Qin Weiwei's angry shout came from inside, "Scram!"
