What kind of instructions could there be?
With a flip of her hand, Qin Weiwei took out a jade archive and handed it to him. It was Xiong Xiao's complaint against the Manor Head. "Take a look."
Miao Yi could vaguely guess what it was without even looking at it. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for Hong Mian to accompany this bitch here right after she left.
After reading it, he said indignantly, "Slander! This was pure slander! Mountain Chieftain, it's not like you don't know about the grudge between me and that dog Xiong Xiao. You can't believe any of his words that target me! "
Of course, he wouldn't admit it even if he was beaten to death. If Xiong Xiao could do that, there was no reason why he couldn't.
However, he noticed that Qin Weiwei's gaze towards him seemed to have become somewhat complicated. Hong Mian's gaze was also filled with a strange look.
Miao Yi could only comfort himself by saying that he wasn't afraid. He had long since made preparations to let her know. In any case, he would never admit it even if he was beaten to death.
"You really didn't do it?" Qin Weiwei asked calmly.
Miao Yi shook his head decisively. "No! Definitely not! "
If he didn't rebuild East Arrival Cave now, Qin Weiwei might still suspect that there was a misunderstanding. It would be a wonder if she would believe his words now.
She had a new understanding of the Great Cave Master Miao, and it made her a little annoyed. How could this person be like this? He didn't even blush when he lied.
However, when she thought about it, it was indeed impossible for the other party to admit to it. It should be understandable. However, she didn't know why, but she still felt a little uncomfortable with the Great Cave Master Miao's character. "The Manor Head sent me here to investigate. I hope what you said is true."
Miao Yi waved his hand and pointed in all directions, saying, "Search as you please. I won't lie!"
He didn't believe that the School of Blue Jade disciples, who were already at odds with Yang Qing, would betray him. Yan Xiu, Qian'Er, and Xue'Er naturally wouldn't betray him either.
As for Yao Ruoxian, that old geezer didn't fit in with the group at all. He wasn't willing to hang out with the others, so he probably wouldn't even have the chance to bump into Qin Weiwei.
Therefore, he was very reassured. It didn't matter if he casually checked.
Qin Weiwei didn't say much, only nodding her head.
Miao Yi accompanied Qin Weiwei as they traveled along the snowy mountain scenery. He personally pointed out the surroundings and introduced East Arrival Cave's situation and terrain. He walked around with her and looked around.
After a long while, Hong Mian was a little speechless as she watched Qin Weiwei and Miao Yi, who were walking in front of her, still chatting from time to time. Raising his head to look at the sky, he muttered to himself, 'I guess the Mountain Chieftain won't be returning today …'
Miao Yi initially thought that the Mountain Chieftain would leave if she couldn't find anything. Who knew that the Mountain Chieftain had no intention of leaving at all.
He really did not welcome Qin Weiwei, but what could he do when the Mountain Chieftain refused to leave? As a subordinate Cave Master, it wasn't appropriate for him to chase the other party away. If he really did that, who knew who would be the one chasing the other out of East Arrival Cave.
Miao Yi had no choice but to find some time to clean up the 'mansion' in the shack, and let the Mountain Chieftain stay in his wooden house for the time being.
That night, during the welcoming banquet, Qian'Er and Xue'Er prepared a table full of delicacies for the Mountain Chieftain.
The two girls' culinary skills were pretty good. Before they were sent here to serve the 'Immortals', their culinary skills were something that they had to focus on. East Arrival City did not dare to slight the 'Immortals', so it could be said that they had sought out all the famous chefs to teach them. His culinary skills were naturally not bad.
Furthermore, the entire East Arrival City had provided for these 'Immortals' was also very sumptuous. Almost everything that East Arrival City could offer up was available.
The sky gradually darkened. After a busy day in East Arrival Cave, the commoners returned one after another.
Miao Yi politely invited Qin Weiwei into the temporary parlor. He asked her to take a seat, and sat beside her.
Other than him, the host, who was accompanying her, no one else in East Arrival Cave had the right to sit beside her. Even Hong Mian obediently stood behind Qin Weiwei.
In front of outsiders, Qin Weiwei would not lose her sense of seniority and ask Hong Mian to sit with her, even though she usually ate with Hong Mian and Lu Liu.
However, she turned to Hong Mian and said, "You can go and have your meal."
She then turned to Miao Yi and said, "Cave Master Miao. There are some things that we need to talk about in private. "
Miao Yi was taken aback. He could only turn around and send away Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who were serving at the side. "Take good care of Elder Auntie."
"Yes!" The two girls asked Hong Mian to leave, but before she left, she couldn't help but turn around to look at the two of them.
The atmosphere in the parlor was a little strange. At least, Miao Yi realized it was a little strange.
After entering the cultivation realm for so many years, this was his first time entertaining a superior. It was also his first time sitting and having a meal together with Mountain Chieftain Qin Weiwei. Moreover, it was just the two of them having a meal together. He couldn't describe how uncomfortable he felt.
He sneaked a glance at Qin Weiwei, and realized that Qin Weiwei's face, dressed in a white dress and sitting peacefully under the oil lamp, was quite pretty.
Her oval face was fair and exquisite. Her delicate nose, long eyelashes, and bright sparkling eyes. Six snow-white jade hairpins were inserted into the shape of butterflies, locking her hair into a bun at the back of her head. She had the temperament of a jade maiden, and the places that should be perky were also full. She was definitely a beauty.
Unfortunately, she had a heart of venomous snakes and scorpions. He dared not compliment her character. What a pity.
Miao Yi sighed in his heart. Unexpectedly, he met Qin Weiwei's sidelong glance. The former hurriedly averted his gaze, while the latter also averted her gaze when she realized she was being peeked at.
"What? You don't even have wine to entertain this Mountain Chieftain? "Qin Weiwei swept her gaze across the table, and tried to find a topic to dissolve the awkwardness.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Miao Yi was flustered. He was caught peeking.
Wine? He had a lot of it. There were more than ten thousand jars in his storage ring.
He quickly summoned a jar with a flip of his hand, removed the seal, and personally filled the Mountain Chieftain's cup. Then, he poured his own cup, and sat down, smiling apologetically. "My current conditions are limited. I hope Mountain Chieftain doesn't mind."
As the refreshing fragrance of the wine wafted out, Qin Weiwei's eyes brightened even though she didn't drink much. She stared at the glowing amber in the cup, and nodded. "I can tell it's not an ordinary item just from the fragrance. I didn't expect Cave Master Miao to have collected such fine wine."
"Hehe, someone gave it to me!" Cave Master Miao immediately twisted the truth, and extended his hand in invitation. "Mountain Chieftain, please have a taste."
Unexpectedly, Qin Weiwei extended her slender, lily-white hand and raised the cup to welcome him. "I toast you with this cup of wine!"
"Uh …" Cave Master Miao was stunned. 'Toast me? What is this slut trying to do now? '
He hurriedly raised his cup and stood up. "I wouldn't dare. I should be the one toasting Mountain Chieftain."
Qin Weiwei pressed down on his hand, indicating for him to sit down. Only then did she say, "You saved me last time. This cup of wine is to thank you."
"That is what a subordinate should do." Miao Yi still looked as though he couldn't bear it.
However, he was already on his guard. This slut had suddenly become so courteous. It was completely unlike her usual style. She was unaccountably solicitous, but she had ulterior motives. There was definitely something fishy going on. He had to be extremely careful, otherwise he wouldn't even know he was being sold.
However, Qin Weiwei insisted on thanking him. In the end, Miao Yi had no choice but to drink a cup with her, which could be considered as him accepting her gratitude. However, his heart became even more vigilant.
As a result, Miao Yi carefully fawned over her, not daring to reveal the slightest flaw. He felt as though he was treading on thin ice.
Qin Weiwei was not an idiot. Naturally, she could feel the distance between herself and the Great Cave Master Miao's words.
She had originally wanted to use this opportunity to ease their relationship. To be able to do this was already considered a rare feat. Who would have thought that Miao Yi wouldn't appreciate her kindness, causing her to feel an indescribable feeling in her heart.
However, this woman was stubborn. Even if she wanted her to humble herself and compromise with Miao Yi, she couldn't do it. She had her own pride, so she could only take a step back and lower her stance, hoping that Miao Yi would be able to understand something. What else could she do other than that?
The result was as one could imagine. Under the flickering oil lamp, the table was filled with fine wine and delicacies, but the two accompanying her were tasteless.
One had a complicated and reserved mood, while the other was cautious and vigilant. The two of them simply couldn't communicate with each other.
This relationship between superior and subordinate was also an important obstacle.
Miao Yi poured a cup of wine, and Qin Weiwei drank it all. Moreover, she finished it all in one go. She had nothing else to say, and the atmosphere was extremely stifling. Cup after cup...
In the end, Qin Weiwei left the table midway. She was supported by Hong Mian, reeking of alcohol.
Once outside, Qin Weiwei coldly said, "Return to Mount Calming Sea!"
"Mountain Chieftain, the sky is already dark. Why don't we wait until dawn …" Hong Mian looked at the sky, but before she could finish her sentence, Qin Weiwei, reeking of alcohol, shouted again, "Return!"
The Great Cave Master Miao even pretended to go up and urge them to stay, but he couldn't. He could only personally send them off to the mountain gates, cupping his fists to bid them farewell.
His dragon steed galloped away. Only after he saw the group of people disappear did the Great Cave Master Miao let out a sigh of relief. 'They've finally left. There's no way they'll find trouble with me.' With a flick of his sleeves, he strode back...
At Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor, a steed arrived at lightning speed under the curtain of night. Mei Yu leapt off his dragon steed and quickly entered the manor. After notifying the Manor Head's handmaidens, he waited in the courtyard with folded arms.
He was originally a Mountain Chieftain under Zhang Decheng. Back then, he had already felt that there was something fishy about Yang Qing leading the troops from Ever Peace Manor. However, despite his repeated reminders, Zhang Decheng didn't listen to him.
During the great battle between the two sides, he had kept an eye out in advance. When he discovered that something was amiss, he escaped in time, and luckily escaped the calamity.
After the incident, he had also thought of throwing his lot in with Yang Qing. However, he knew that it was impossible for him to return to Ever Peace Manor as a Mountain Chieftain. Those subordinates who worked for Yang Qing would be the first to disagree. In addition, two of his personal handmaidens had been killed when Yang Qing's subordinates attacked and occupied Ever Peace Manor. This caused him to gnash his teeth in hatred.
Later on, he heard that Liu Jingtian had been used by Yang Qing. He reckoned that Liu Jingtian would definitely seek revenge if he had the chance. Since they were on the same path, he decisively threw his lot in with Liu Jingtian.
In order to obtain a chance to make a comeback, Mei Yu had taken on the task of planning Liu Jingtian's revenge. As expected, Liu Jingtian had given him the opportunity to render meritorious service.
After the handmaidens had gone inside to report, they came out and extended their hands to make way. "The Manor Head requests your presence!"
Mei Yu tidied his clothes and quickly entered. Seeing Liu Jingtian sitting upright, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Manor Head!"
"Mei Yu, it's already so late. Is something the matter?" Liu Jingtian asked calmly.
Mei Yu immediately stepped forward and replied, "Manor Head, there's an opportunity to strike at Qin Weiwei's side!"
Liu Jingtian's eyes brightened. He stood up and asked, "Where will the opportunity come from?"
Mei Yu quickly took out a map and spread it out on the long table. Pointing at the map, he said, "Manor Head, please take a look. Qin Weiwei brought six men from Mount Calming Sea to East Arrival Cave today. I expected that they wouldn't have left and returned in a hurry. Judging from the timing, they will definitely be spending the night at East Arrival Cave tonight. East Arrival Cave is just beside us. We can send our men to swiftly slaughter their way back and forth!"
