Previously, when Miao Yi asked her to help him investigate the arrangements made by Xiong Xiao's subordinates, hoping to find out the whereabouts of Yuan Zhengkun and the others, she rejected him without hesitation. However, she still remembered this matter.
On this trip to Ever Peace Manor, for some strange reason, he couldn't restrain himself. He took a roundabout approach and inquired about the distribution of Xiong Xiao's forces from Qing Mei and Qing Ju.
If anyone else had asked about this matter, Qing Mei and Qing Ju would most likely be on guard. However, since it was Yang Qing's daughter who asked about this matter, the two aunts did not think that Qin Weiwei would do anything to harm Yang Qing. Moreover, it was not necessarily a bad thing to let Qin Weiwei know more about the current situation, so they did not hide it from her.
Hong Mian and Lu Liu exchanged glances with each other. A hint of 'could it be …' flashed across their eyes.
Lu Liu probed, "Mountain Chieftain, Cave Master Miao is someone who dares to fall out with Mountain Chieftain Xiong on the spot. I heard that because of those three people, Cave Master Miao and Mountain Chieftain Xiong almost fought right in front of the Manor Head. If Cave Master Miao were to find out the whereabouts of those three people, I'm afraid he wouldn't let the matter rest."
Qin Weiwei swung her arms around a little unnaturally, the curve of her snow-white bosom with a red top made one's heart beat faster.
She feigned a cold smile and said, "I almost lost my life to them back then. How can I not take revenge for this? It's not my place to make a move. That bastard Miao Yi has always been restless anyway. I can make use of him."
Hong Mian and Lu Liu looked at each other in dismay. After living together for so many years, who wouldn't understand each other? Mountain Chieftain, are you the kind of person who would disregard the Manor Head's overall situation for your own personal grudges? You're not the kind of person who uses his position to avenge a personal grudge! No matter how he pretended, he didn't look like it!
"Mountain Chieftain, you can't be …"
Lu Liu had wanted to ask tentatively, 'Mountain Chieftain, don't tell me you've fallen for Cave Master Miao?'
Unexpectedly, Hong Mian glared fiercely at her. They were also very familiar with each other, and as soon as she saw Lu Liu's strange expression, she knew what she was about to say, and immediately stopped her.
Actually, she had this suspicion in her heart as well. The previous time when the Mountain Chieftain had lost her composure because of Cave Master Miao was too abnormal. Women would always be able to understand a woman's thoughts better.
However, there were some things that couldn't be said out loud. If the Mountain Chieftain really had that kind of intention, then it was even more impossible for him to say it out loud.
It had been so many years. Since when had the Mountain Chieftain ever liked anyone? Even the Manor Head felt that it was a little abnormal, and was often concerned about this issue. Little did he know that Yang Qing really wanted to fulfill his responsibility as a father.
Now that the Mountain Chieftain finally had the intention to do that, it wasn't easy. If you say it now, the Mountain Chieftain's pride won't be able to take it. It's like a small flame that can be extinguished with a casual blow.
Moreover, he still couldn't be completely sure. The Mountain Chieftain and Cave Master Miao were practically a pair of arch-enemies. Not a single time they met was normal.
Hearing that the words behind her had not finished, Qin Weiwei asked, "It can't be what?"
Lu Liu secretly stuck out her tongue, understanding her sister's meaning.
Hong Mian hurriedly followed up, "What Lu Liu means is that when Cave Master Miao mentioned this last time, didn't you, Mountain Chieftain, reject him?"
Qin Weiwei's eyes darted around for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "How could I possibly agree to it in front of him? Do you think my status is appropriate? That's why I asked you to reveal it without leaving a trace. Don't you understand? "
Hong Mian and Lu Liu glanced at each other, and both grunted in agreement. "Understood."
Actually, they didn't need to remind him. The Cave Master of East Arrival Cave was already planning this.
The Great Cave Master Miao couldn't wait any longer. He was about to send people to scout out Xiong Xiao's territory one by one, when he suddenly heard that South Edict Manor and Ever Peace Manor's troops were being mobilized on a large scale, and were redividing their territories.
Miao Yi had no choice but to wait until the division of those people's territories was confirmed before he made his move.
When he heard that Yang Qing controlled two Manors and the territories were being redivided, Miao Yi was still a little expectant. He reckoned that as Yang Qing's adopted daughter, Qin Weiwei wouldn't be at a disadvantage, and he might even be able to gain some benefits. With his own troops, it shouldn't be a problem to occupy two abodes of Immortals, right?
Who would've thought that the other Mountain Chieftains would all be able to expand their territories, and only that unlucky woman, Qin Weiwei, wouldn't gain any benefits. Even he, the Great Cave Master Miao, wouldn't be able to gain any benefits.
"I've been dragged down by our Mountain Chieftain …."
In East Arrival Cave, the Cave Master, who was holed up in a simple shack, unceremoniously complained to his superior in front of his subordinates.
Actually, Miao Yi was well aware that with his current cultivation, becoming the Cave Master was already a special case. Any higher and it wouldn't be justifiable. He only held onto a sliver of hope, but it was shattered in the end. He was more or less displeased.
Whenever he was displeased, he would always need to find a target to vent his anger on. That bitch, Qin Weiwei, was naturally his first choice.
He wasn't afraid that someone would leak it out. The disciples of the School of Blue Jade probably wouldn't have the interest to complain. He was very confident in Yan Xiu, so he would scold him when he was unhappy. In his own territory, he could scold whoever he wanted. He was the boss here.
At this moment, a subordinate quickly walked in from outside, cupping his fists as he reported, "Cave Master, Elder Auntie Hong Mian of Mount Calming Sea has arrived."
"Uh …" Sitting on the wooden chair like a mountain king, Cave Master Miao was taken aback. "Why is she here …? How many people are here?"
"Two. She only brought a single follower."
"What for?" Miao Yi couldn't figure it out. He stood up and took large strides. "I'll go take a look."
At this moment, Hong Mian was standing outside the ruined Grand Hall, stunned. Naturally, she was most shocked at the sight of a dozen horrifying corpses hanging in the cold wind.
She had heard of this before, but she didn't expect to see it again after such a long time, and to be disgusted by it.
The second most shocking thing was the ruined East Arrival Cave. There wasn't even the shadow of a construction worker to be seen. Those that had collapsed were still lying on the ground, those that had collapsed were still lying on the ground, and those that had collapsed were still in a mess. Snow covered the wreckage, and it didn't seem like it was going to be rebuilt at all.
What the hell was this Great Cave Master Miao doing?
Hong Mian furrowed her brows. She was a little suspicious of whether or not Miao Yi was a pervert.
It was fine if he didn't want to rebuild East Arrival Cave, but he didn't even bother to collect the dozen scantily clad female corpses. This was too disgusting. Didn't he feel disgusted looking at it every day?
"Elder Auntie, why are you in the mood to come to my East Arrival Cave?"
Miao Yi chuckled as he cupped his fists and greeted her from afar.
When he walked up to her, Hong Mian pointed at the hanging corpses, and furrowed her brows. "Cave Master Miao, what is the meaning of this?"
"Hehe, to be vigilant in times of peace!"
Miao Yi brushed it off lightly, but a haze flashed across his eyes. Someone had poked at his sore spot.
His own territory had been destroyed, and his people had been raped, killed, and hung here. As a Cave Master, he couldn't avenge them and bury them. He felt ashamed every day!
Was there anyone who was so prepared for danger in times of peace? Hong Mian felt a wave of nausea in her stomach, and silently cursed the pervert again. This won't do. I have to think of a way to stop him when I get back. I absolutely cannot let the Mountain Chieftain fall in love with this pervert. Otherwise, in the future, even I and my sister will have to serve this great pervert.
"Then why haven't you rebuilt East Arrival Cave?"
"The weather is cold and the ground is frozen. It won't be easy to carry out the construction." Miao Yi tried to dodge the question again.
Hong Mian was speechless. She realized that this bastard had a lot of excuses.
In the end, Miao Yi asked, "Elder Auntie, may I know why you're here?"
Hong Mian replied, "I was ordered to check on the progress of your East Arrival Cave's reconstruction. Who would've thought that this was what Cave Master Miao wanted me to see? Hong Mian really doesn't know how to report this to the Cave Master when I return."
Miao Yi cursed in his heart. Was there a need to send his own personal handmaiden to inspect? That bitch must be playing some tricks on him again.
"I have a hundred thousand followers under my command. Rebuilding a mere East Arrival Cave is but a piece of cake. There's no need to rush!"
Cave Master Miao chatted cheerfully for a while, then turned around and invited Hong Mian to his humble abode to rest for a while.
For this reason, a wooden house was specially vacated.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the Great Cave Master Miao, who was certain that the other party was here to cause trouble, excused himself with matters to attend to and left. He couldn't be bothered with her anymore.
The task of serving the women was handed over to Qian'Er and Xue'Er. Currently, East Arrival Cave didn't have any other handmaidens.
The main reason was that the conditions were inconvenient. In a world of ice and snow, living in a shack in the wilderness, even a typical handmaiden wouldn't be able to handle it.
However, Hong Mian came with a mission, not to enjoy life. Not to mention, the conditions here weren't exactly enjoyable.
After chatting with the two girls for a while and getting to know each other, Hong Mian, who was standing at the door, reached out to pluck an icicle hanging from the eaves. She snapped it in her hand, and looked at the ruins at the foot of the mountain. She sighed, "Your Cave Master is too outrageous. He actually has the heart to watch his two delicate handmaidens suffer in the cold instead of seizing the time to rebuild East Arrival Cave. Let's not talk about this first. Look at your former sisters. He actually has the heart to let their corpses hang there without a care."
Hearing someone speak ill of their master, the two girls bit their lips. Because of her status, it wasn't appropriate for them to retort.
However, in the end, they couldn't hold it in any longer. Xue'Er defended her master in a low voice, "Elder Auntie, it's not like that. You have wrongly accused our Cave Master. Cave Master said that as long as he doesn't avenge his sisters, he won't rebuild East Arrival Cave. He made the sisters watch over him. Cave Master …"
She wanted to continue speaking, but Qian'Er had already secretly tugged on her sleeve from the side. She quickly shut her mouth.
In front of Hong Mian, the two of them were still a little too inexperienced.
"..." Hong Mian was taken aback. She turned around to glance at the two of them. She didn't pay attention to their little actions, and her eyes revealed a look of realization.
So that was how it was. Every day he didn't avenge his sister meant that he wouldn't rebuild East Arrival Cave? It seemed that she had misunderstood the Great Cave Master Miao as a pervert.
However, he was still a pervert, to actually use such a perverted method to prove his loyalty …
Of course, she had also found a way to divulge information without leaving a trace. She shook her head and sighed, "Go back and advise your Cave Master. Don't mention the matter of revenge anymore. Now that Yuan Zhengkun and the other two have already become Mountain Chieftain Xiong Xiao's subordinates and are serving Changfeng Cave, we have already become colleagues. Let bygones be bygones."
Qian'Er and Xue'Er instantly widened their eyes. So those bad guys were actually in Changfeng Cave …
Recently, the two girls had been by Miao Yi's side. Almost every day, they would hear Miao Yi and his subordinates discussing the matter of revenge. The Cave Master had always been vexed about not knowing where his enemies had hidden themselves, but he couldn't openly search for them. Now that their whereabouts had suddenly been exposed, the two girls couldn't help but clench their fists tightly.
Every day, they saw the corpses of their sisters, and they also felt terrible. They really wanted to take revenge …
After silently noticing their reactions, Hong Mian already knew what was going on. She knew that the Mountain Chieftain's objective for sending her here had already been achieved, so there was no need to say anything more. Otherwise, it would easily arouse suspicions.
