Ever Peace Manor.
Naturally, Yang Qing didn't know that Miao Yi, who had been demoted to a Steed Deputy, had already alerted the Hall Master of Suppressing Third Hall by coming up with a list of compensation. In fact, even Miao Yi himself didn't expect this.
At this moment, Yang Qing, who was sitting in the waterside pavilion, was shaking his head as he read Qin Weiwei's memorial.
The personnel changes in the two Manors would eventually be gathered and reviewed by him. And one of the contents reported by Qin Weiwei was the matter of appointing Yan Xiu as the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave.
"I'm afraid this Yan Xiu won't be able to suppress Miao Yi." Qing Ju pursed her lips and smiled.
When she thought about how Cave Master Miao, who covered his crotch with an awkward expression while bathing, was demoted back to Steed Deputy, she found it funny.
Yang Qing shook his head and sighed, "Even if I want to repay Miao Yi for saving my life, there's still a long way to go. I can't do it this way. Vivian was still too inexperienced. She really didn't care about Xiong Xiao's feelings at all. Did she really think that Xiong Xiao was a fool? Wouldn't she expose my intentions by doing this? How could Xiong Xiao endure this! I really don't know what to do with this girl. She's not like me at all. She's so much like her mother. "
When Qin Weiwei's birth mother was mentioned, Qing Mei and Qing Ju, who knew a little about her, immediately became solemn.
Yang Qing stood up and surveyed his surroundings. "I like to stand at a high vantage point and look into the distance. I'm still more used to the environment of South Edict Manor. Pass down my orders. The two manors are to be moved back to South Edict Manor!"
At this time, he suddenly moved the two manors back to South Edict, just because he liked to look into the distance from a high vantage point?
Qing Mei and Qing Ju vaguely guessed that it had something to do with Qin Weiwei's appointment. Qing Mei tried asking, "Should we send someone to explain to Xiong Xiao? Tell him that it was the Young Miss's own idea and that it had nothing to do with the Manor Head."
"Explain? Weiwei is my daughter. Her orders are my orders. Do you think Xiong Xiao will believe this explanation? Do I have to explain to him? Could it be that my daughter needs Xiong Xiao's permission to appoint a subordinate? "Yang Qing sneered.
These words confirmed the suspicions of the two girls. On the surface, the Manor Head was a person who kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs, but in fact, he doted on the Young Miss very much. Even if the Young Miss did something wrong, this Lord Father had never said anything harsh to the Young Miss. He would only quietly help to deal with the aftermath, trying his best to prevent his daughter's body and mind from being hurt, and using another way to make up for what he owed his daughter.
Although he had helped Qin Weiwei to clear her name. However, if he were to suddenly return to South Edict at this time, it would clearly make Xiong Xiao think that the matter of East Arrival Cave was Manor Head Yang Qing's own idea. The Manor Head was shouldering all the responsibility on himself. He wanted to return to South Edict Manor to intimidate Xiong Xiao, and prevent him from harboring any ill intentions!
"Manor Head, if you make things clear, I'll have to deal with it. Xiong Xiao will definitely hold a grudge against you! "Qing Mei reminded.
"It seems like we should consider who will take over Xiong Xiao's position …" Yang Qing muttered indifferently.
Qing Mei and Qing Ju glanced at each other. Now that the Manor Head was tempted, Xiong Xiao's position as Mountain Chieftain was about to come to an end. It all depended on Xiong Xiao's reaction.
However, Yang Qing suddenly frowned and said, "Weiwei's actions this time are somewhat illogical. Do you think there's something fishy going on?"
Qing Ju asked, "Didn't Miss want to repay Miao Yi for saving her life?"
"There are many ways to repay a life-saving debt. This doesn't seem like Weiwei's style of doing things. "Yang Qing suddenly turned around and said," Get someone to keep an eye on Weiwei's side to prevent any accidents from happening! "
"Accidents?" The two girls were stunned. "What accidents?"
Yang Qing said solemnly, "I'm worried that brat Miao Yi might have used some tricks to hold Weiwei hostage. If that's really the case, I won't forgive that bastard!"
The two girls were shocked. They nodded and immediately went to make the arrangements …
Their worries weren't without reason.
As expected, when the news of East Arrival Cave Master Miao Yi's dismissal and Yan Xiu taking over as East Arrival Cave Master spread, Xiong Xiao was furious.
He wasn't a fool. Qin Weiwei's actions clearly showed that she still wanted Miao Yi to continue controlling East Arrival Cave.
"Qin Weiwei, that bitch. Relying on Yang Qing's support, isn't she looking down on me too much? Is she purposely making life difficult for me?"
Xiong Xiao growled in a low voice, like an enraged lion. He paced back and forth in the grand hall. He faintly suspected that this was Yang Qing's intention.
The two young and beautiful handmaidens who had just arrived were trembling with fear, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
At this moment, the sound of wind breaking could be heard from outside. A spirit eagle landed on the eagle's nest under the eaves of the grand hall.
What kind of news had come? Xiong Xiao turned to look, waiting for the person beside him to fetch it.
In the end, the two new handmaidens stood on the spot, unmoved. Xiong Xiao snapped out of his daze and remembered that the two of them were new. He still didn't understand this, but when he thought of the dead Chun Xue and Dong Xue, he couldn't help but feel enlightened.
"Xiahe, Qiu Yu, go fetch me the jade archive from the tube at the spirit eagle's leg." Xiong Xiao sighed.
The two young girls around ten years old immediately complied and went outside. However, when they saw the ferocious and mighty spirit eagle standing on the eagle's pole, they were truly a little afraid and didn't know how to act.
The two of them didn't dare to hesitate for too long. A pair of fair and tender hands trembled as they reached out towards the spirit eagle.
In the end, the spirit eagle turned around and let out a 'grunt', immediately scaring the two of them into retracting their hands.
This type of ferocious bird naturally liked to bully the weak. It was also a little enraged by the two of them repeatedly reaching out and retracting their hands in a seemingly provocative manner. Suddenly, it ferociously pecked at them, its sharp curved beak instantly piercing through their skin and drawing blood.
"Ah!" Xiahe cried out in pain. Holding onto her other wrist, she retreated a few steps. The back of her delicate and fair hand was dripping with blood, already missing a piece of flesh.
Qiu Yu was also frightened and moved away.
Xiong Xiao came out in a flash. He was truly speechless when he saw this scene. They couldn't even do such a small thing. It made him miss Chun Xue and Dong Xue even more.
With a flip of his hand, he took out a small bottle of spiritual medicine. Grabbing Xiahe's hand, he poured some white powder onto her bleeding wound. He then waved his hand to have Qiu Yu help Xiahe back to rest.
He himself took out a jade archive from the tube at the spirit eagle's leg. As he walked into the room, he examined it.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. After a moment of contemplation, his expression twitched and he swung his palm down.
'Crash!' A table was smashed to pieces. Xiong Xiao gritted his teeth and hissed, "Yang Qing and his daughter, they've gone too far!"
The news that came from the jade archive was none other than the news that Yang Qing had already moved the two Manors' headquarters back to South Edict Manor.
"Yang Qing! You were the one who was heartless first. Don't blame me for being unjust later. I, Xiong Xiao, am not one to sit and wait for death. Chun Xue, pick a suitable candidate and have him and Gongsun Yu … "
Before he could finish his words, he himself was stunned. He turned to look at the empty hall, but Chun Xue's figure was nowhere to be seen. Chun Xue and Dong Xue had already died at Miao Yi's hands. It was just that he hadn't gotten used to it yet …
Qian Liufang, the Cave Master of Ancient Cave in Mount Shaotai, was one of the Cave Masters under Xiong Xiao. He was an old acquaintance of Gongsun Yu, the Cave Master of Long Viridescent Cave in Mount Calming Sea, and would occasionally meet up with him.
This time, Qian Liufang was passing by Long Viridescent Cave on 'business'. Passing by the territory of an old acquaintance, it was only natural for him to come and disturb him.
Both of them were acquaintances, and their positions were similar — both Cave Masters. Naturally, Gongsun Yu set aside his cultivation and personally entertained him. A sumptuous banquet was inevitable.
The two of them chatted and raised their cups. Just as they were in high spirits, Qian Liufang suddenly transmitted his voice to Gongsun Yu, indicating for him to dismiss the handmaidens serving him.
Gongsun Yu was rather displeased. His personal handmaidens were his most trusted subordinates. They wouldn't betray him no matter what, so there was no need for him to avoid suspicion.
However, since his guest was like this, he didn't want to dampen his mood. At the same time, he wanted to see what Qian Liufang was up to, so he dismissed the two handmaidens before asking, "Brother Qian, is there something you need?"
Qian Liufang chuckled and clinked his cup with Gongsun Yu's. Both of them drank a full cup, and as he personally poured wine for Gongsun Yu, he said with a smile, "The Manor Head's daughter, Qin Weiwei. She is the best choice for both looks and beauty. It's a pity that no one from the two Manors is able to get close to her. Otherwise, she would definitely be a good dual-cultivation partner."
As he spoke, he noticed Gongsun Yu's brows furrowing. He immediately changed the topic, "I've long heard that Brother Gongsun has been courting Qin Weiwei for many years. I've always found it difficult to ask about it. This time, I'd like to ask Brother Gongsun while I'm in the mood to drink. I wonder if this is true? If it is, how are things progressing? I believe Brother Gongsun will not hide anything from me! "
His tone carried the teasing tone of a friend. Gongsun Yu's brows relaxed, feeling a little embarrassed. He coughed dryly and said, "These are all rumors from the outside world. The Mountain Chieftain has always kept herself clean and pure. How can I blaspheme her?"
"So it's just a rumor!" Qian Liufang nodded thoughtfully and said, "Initially, I wanted to remind Brother Gongsun of something on account of our friendship. Qin Weiwei … But since it's just a rumor, I've been too nosy. It's fine if I don't say it."
"..." Gongsun Yu was stunned. He couldn't drink the wine that was already at his lips anymore. He put down the wine cup and asked, "What do you want to remind me about?"
Qian Liufang only cared about drinking and shook his head without saying a word.
Gongsun Yu asked again, "Does it have something to do with Mountain Chieftain Qin?"
Qian Liufang only nodded, still not saying a word.
Hearing that it had something to do with Qin Weiwei, Gongsun Yu instantly felt like his heart was being scratched. He reached out and grabbed one of Qian Liufang's wrists, glaring at him and said, "Brother Qian, why are you hesitating? Could it be that I've not been a good host?"
"Since Brother Gongsun has no personal entanglements with Qin Weiwei, there's really no need for me to gossip and bring trouble upon myself."
"Could it be that Brother Qian doesn't trust me and is afraid that I'll gossip?"
"Brother Gongsun, you're thinking too much."
"Brother Qian, the conversation between you and me today is only known by the heavens, the earth, you, and me. I will definitely not spread it."
Qian Liufang still shook his head and refused to say a word.
Gongsun Yu's expression twitched. In the end, he braced himself and admitted, "I won't hide it from Brother Qian. I have indeed admired Mountain Chieftain Qin for a long time. However, this matter concerns Mountain Chieftain's reputation. I dare not speak carelessly. I hope Brother Qian can understand!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Qian Liufang glared at him and grumbled. He immediately put down his wine cup and looked as if he would do anything for his friend. He looked around mysteriously, then leaned his head close to Gongsun Yu's. "Manor Head has the Hall Master's favor. You're in charge of two manors and have access to the cultivation resources of both manors. None of the Manor Heads in Suppressing Second Hall can compare to you. Your cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Thousands of years later, once the Hall Master is fortunate enough to be promoted, based on the Hall Master's appreciation of Manor Head, the position of Suppressing Second Hall Master will definitely belong to Manor Head. If Brother Gongsun and Qin Weiwei become cultivation partners, how can Manor Head not take care of you? When that time comes, Brother Gongsun will naturally be in charge of a manor. "
