Everyone was still prepared to observe the situation. From the looks of it, even if someone else became the Cave Master, they wouldn't be able to support them. They still had to rely on this former Cave Master.
Most importantly, they were entrusted with a mission by Elder Hong Changhai.
With no other choice, everyone nodded in response to this former Cave Master. "Alright!"
However, Yuan Fang still reminded him, "If we cause trouble and anger the higher-ups, what if they scatter us to the two Manors?"
Miao Yi waved his hand disapprovingly, "That's easy. I have signed a Commandment of Conformity with your School of Blue Jade. When the time comes, regardless of whether or not I've broken the contract, you can directly report it to the Manor of Conformity and say that I've broken the contract. As soon as the Manor of Conformity sends someone over, I will immediately admit that it was my fault. You can just take the opportunity and return to your School of Blue Jade. With the Commandment of Conformity, no one can do anything to you. If anything happens, I will be the one to shoulder it. So you can be at ease and boldly cause trouble with me."
"Other than Cave Master Miao, we won't acknowledge anyone else in East Arrival Cave!"
Yuan Fang's words were well spoken. Everyone immediately echoed her. It could be said that Former Cave Master Miao was beaming with joy. With his hands behind his back, he nodded repeatedly. It didn't matter if he didn't have a false reputation. If anything happened, there would still be someone to shoulder it. It didn't seem too bad.
He already had a plan. After the new Cave Master took office, he would secretly settle the score with Mount Returning Loyalty. After all, if anything happened, the new Cave Master would shoulder it.
Yan Xiu heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that East Arrival Cave was still under Miao Yi's control. His future days wouldn't be difficult. However, he didn't know which unlucky bastard would succeed as Cave Master of East Arrival Cave. With Miao Yi's unscrupulous behavior and the fact that he had won over the troops of East Arrival Cave, that Cave Master would probably not have a good time.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er looked at their Master with admiration. Master was as powerful as ever. Even if he wasn't a Cave Master anymore, Master still had the final say in East Arrival Cave. Didn't that mean that even if the new Elder Auntie and Little Auntie came, their positions in East Arrival Cave wouldn't be as high as theirs?
The status of handmaidens rose along with their Master. They understood this principle.
Yang Qing thought that Former Cave Master Miao wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble after losing his position. Little did he know that even before the future Cave Master of East Arrival Cave had taken office, Former Cave Master Miao had already incited the crowd, and was already preparing to stir up trouble...
Suppressing Second Hall. Within the Hall Master's bedchamber, Huo Lingxiao, who was dressed in a thin gray robe and had his hair tied up with a jade hairpin, walked out of the silent cultivation room with the jade archive that Yang Qing had submitted.
"East Arrival Cave, East Arrival Cave Master Miao Yi. It's related to him again. This guy is really unlucky. Why is it that people always come knocking on his door? " Huo Lingxiao shook his head and muttered, "Should I go see him some other day or move him to a safer place? Otherwise, I would be worried for him! "
His handmaidens Tian Yu and Liu Xing knew that he was teasing them, and they couldn't help but chuckle as they thought of something.
He read through the contents of the jade archive twice. Waving the jade archive in his hand, Huo Lingxiao turned to his left and right and said with a smile, "Last time, Wu Menglan barged into my place and blackmailed me. This time, I want Wu Menglan to spit out those ten high-grade Orbs of Will, and I'll even have to pay some interest! Liu Xing, summon Feng Zhihuan and He Yunye to see me! "
"Understood!" Liu Xing left with a smile.
Not long after, Liu Xing led Feng Zhihuan and He Yunye into the palace, and bumped into Huo Lingxiao as he walked in. The two Advisors bowed in unison and said, "Greetings, Hall Master!"
"Mm!" Huo Lingxiao nodded and said, "Both of you, please follow me to Suppressing Third Hall."
The two of them looked at each other, and Feng Zhihuan cupped his fists and asked, "May I ask, Hall Master, what is the matter?"
"The people of Suppressing Third Hall have invaded my territory. Lan, let's go settle the score! "
Huo Lingxiao threw down these words, and with a flick of his sleeves, a light barrier enveloped his entire body. A gust of wind swept out in all directions, and the light barrier suddenly shot into the sky.
Feng Zhihuan and He Yunye looked at each other in shock. They didn't dare to slow down, and both shot into the sky in pursuit.
Three oval egg-shaped light barriers enveloped the three of them, one in front and two behind. They quickly shot into the sky, and instantly disappeared into the distance...
Riding on a dragon steed would probably take a few days. However, the three of them had already flown past in less than half a day, and landed on the summit of the snowy peaks.
At this moment, Huo Lingxiao had a cold expression on his face, as he led the two Advisors straight through the palace gates of Suppressing Third Hall.
The guards at the gate tried to stop them, but Huo Lingxiao pushed them away. A furious roar shook the heavens, "Get Wu Menglan to come out and see me!"
Since he was in the right, he was confident. Did he even need to report such a loud voice?
Before the guards of Suppressing Third Hall could reach the Hall Master's quarters, they saw the well-endowed Wu Menglan, dressed in a fur coat, coming out with two handmaidens.
Wu Menglan's expression was ugly as well. Liu Jingtian hadn't reported to her about his deeds until he was defeated. She had just found out not too long ago, and knew that she couldn't hide it any longer.
If Liu Jingtian had gotten back at her for the previous incident, it would have been fine. She would have even praised Liu Jingtian for being capable, as he had helped her regain some face. However, not only did that good-for-nothing Liu Jingtian fail to avenge his humiliation, he had even suffered a crushing defeat, throwing the face of Suppressing Third Hall to the ground. She almost died from anger.
If it weren't for the fact that killing her subordinates after suffering a loss would make others laugh at her for not using them properly and only knowing how to vent her anger on her subordinates, she would have dismembered Liu Jingtian into a thousand pieces.
She had already decided that once this incident had calmed down and everyone had forgotten about it, she would kick that useless good-for-nothing from the position of Manor Head. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a match for Yang Qing, and she didn't know how many times he would embarrass her!
Actually, she understood that it wasn't that Liu Jingtian was incompetent. Even a Manor Head wouldn't be incompetent. It was just that Yang Qing was too cunning. Someone else might not be Yang Qing's match. It was precisely because of this that she hadn't replaced Liu Jingtian the last time.
What angered her even more was, 'Liu Jingtian, you're no match for him. If you don't have the ability, then don't try to be brave. Don't drag me down with you!'
"Hall Master, Suppressing Second Hall's Hall Master, Huo Lingxiao …"
Before the guard who came to report could finish, Wu Menglan waved her hand and said, "Got it!"
How could she not know? Huo Lingxiao's loud voice was heard by the entire Suppressing Second Hall. It would be strange if she hadn't heard it.
He was in the right, and was here to repay the previous incident, to slap her in the face!
But the crux of the matter was that she didn't manage to gain much from him last time, because Yang Qing had already prepared a backup plan for Suppressing Second Hall. With the Suppressing Third Hall idiot's handwriting as proof, if they really wanted to argue, Suppressing Second Hall could argue with reason and completely ignore her.
But this time, Suppressing Third Hall was truly in the wrong, and they had even suffered a loss. It wasn't a good feeling to be slapped in the face after suffering a loss.
However, when she saw Huo Lingxiao striding in with two Advisors and a solemn expression on his face, Wu Menglan didn't lose her composure. She said with a radiant smile, "Hall Master Huo has personally come to Suppressing Third Hall. What a rare guest!"
Huo Lingxiao scoffed coldly. He threw her a disdainful look and said, "This is your Suppressing Third Hall's doing!"
Wu Menglan pretended to be surprised and asked, "What has made Hall Master Huo so angry?"
"Wu Menglan, do you want me to reason with you in public?" Huo Lingxiao laughed coldly. His meaning was, 'If you're not afraid of losing face, then I don't mind. I don't mind either. '
"Hehe, those who come are guests. How could this Hall Master neglect you!" Wu Menglan's light words dissolved the awkwardness the other party had brought her. She turned around and extended her hand towards the main hall's door, saying, "Please come in!"
Leaving Feng Zhihuan and He Yunye behind, Huo Lingxiao followed her into the main hall.
Once they were seated in the main hall. Huo Lingxiao then threw Yang Qing's report to Wu Menglan and said, "Look at what you've done!"
After that, the two of them naturally quarreled and argued about what they should.
Of course, what happened between the people below them wasn't enough to affect the tacit understanding between the two of them for the sake of the bigger picture.
But when it came to matters like this, the one in the wrong would definitely have to be given an explanation. 'You've come to my territory to commit crimes without reason, and I'm going to pretend that nothing happened? That's not reasonable! '
After the matter was settled, Huo Lingxiao came out with a calm expression on his face. Wu Menglan wasn't even interested in seeing him off.
After meeting up with the two Advisors, Huo Lingxiao glanced back at them, a hint of mockery appearing at the corner of his lips.
Yang Qing had helped him earn a thousand low-grade Orbs of Will. Not only did he get back the thousand orbs he lost last time, he even earned another thousand orbs.
This wasn't a small sum either. If his subordinates had the ability to help him earn such benefits, he didn't mind personally making a trip. He was more than happy to make a few more trips as well. Since he wasn't embarrassed, he could even come over to slap them in the face and reap the benefits. Why not?
Protecting Yang Qing last time was definitely worth it! Huo Lingxiao turned around and shouted, "Return!"
Three shrouds of light enveloped the three of them and quickly shot into the sky.
In the main hall below. Wu Menglan's voice could be heard gritting her teeth, "Get Liu Jingtian to come see me!"
Yang Qing's report had already explained that Huo Lingxiao already knew where Yang Qing's forces were gathered. It was the East Arrival Cave that he wanted to visit.
However, he seemed to have thought of something. Huo Lingxiao muttered to himself as he flew swiftly in the sky, "East Arrival Cave Master Miao Yi, Little Brother …"
He shook his head and smiled. In the end, he gave up on the idea of going to East Arrival Cave. He wrote a jade archive in the air and tossed it to Feng Zhihuan, who was flying behind him. "Send my orders to Yang Qing. Order him to withdraw his forces. This matter will end here!"
Three beams of light streaked across the sky above East Arrival Cave. Two of them didn't stop at all as they flew off into the distance, startling Yao Ruoxian who was hiding in the mountain forest.
The other beam of light revealed Feng Zhihuan's original form and landed on East Arrival Cave.
Over two thousand troops all focused their attention on him. Who knew how many people were envious of his cultivation that allowed him to fly in the sky?
Yang Qing also quickly appeared in front of Feng Zhihuan. He cupped his fists and bowed, "Yang Qing pays his respects to Advisor Feng."
"The Hall Master orders your forces to withdraw. This matter will end here!" Feng Zhihuan expressionlessly handed the jade archive to Yang Qing.
He didn't know how Feng Zhihuan felt about this person he had given up on back then. However, he didn't show it on the surface.
After reading through the jade archive, Yang Qing immediately cupped his fists towards the direction of Suppressing Second Hall and said, "Yang Qing will obey the Hall Master's orders!"
Feng Zhihuan didn't say anything else. Yang Qing was currently under the direct command of the Hall Master. It wasn't his place to say anything. Once the decree was delivered, he quickly flew away.
Yang Qing cupped his fists towards the sky to send him off. After the beam of light disappeared, he immediately turned around and ordered the troops from both manors to withdraw.
It could be said that he immediately carried out the Hall Master's orders without hesitation. This was something that the deceitful Miao Yi could learn from...
The defeated Liu Jingtian arrived at Suppressing Third Hall in terror. He didn't dare to hide anything anymore, and explained the entire sequence of events in detail.
Seated upright, Wu Menglan frowned slightly and muttered to herself, "East Arrival Cave Master Miao Yi, Miao Yi..."
After listening to Liu Jingtian's honest confession, she didn't think that there were any major problems with Liu Jingtian's revenge plan. The most crucial accident was that he had bumped into the nail that was East Arrival Cave. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been any problems.
After suffering a loss the last time, she understood the entire sequence of events, because she didn't want to suffer a loss out of ignorance.
That time, Zhang Decheng of Ever Peace Manor had a meticulous plan. In the end, everything was ruined by a mere Cave Master of East Arrival Cave. This time, Liu Jingtian had suffered a loss at the hands of that insignificant Cave Master of East Arrival Cave. The first time could be attributed to luck, but this was already the second time. At that moment, she became a little interested in that insignificant Cave Master of East Arrival Cave...
