He was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Currently, being a Cave Master meant that he was tied down by the affairs of East Arrival Cave. He couldn't run around freely, not to mention that East Arrival Cave was already under his control. It didn't matter if he didn't have the title of Cave Master, but he could consider giving it to a Mountain Chieftain.
"This is not a joke. Since I have said it, I will do it." Qin Weiwei assured him once again.
"Your subordinate is not being polite." Miao Yi rejected her once again.
Qin Weiwei thought that she was being too direct, so he was too embarrassed to accept. With the current rules, who wouldn't be willing?
She was a little confused as to why Miao Yi was really refusing, but she didn't force the issue.
After pondering for a while, she nodded and said, "Since you are not willing to be a Cave Master, being a Steed Deputy in East Arrival Cave is not suitable for you. Why don't I transfer you from East Arrival Cave to Mount Calming Sea to manage the city under Mount Calming Sea's jurisdiction?"
Hong Mian and Lu Liu instantly smiled. They realized that the Mountain Chieftain was really crafty. If she really transferred him over, then they would be able to live together from now on.
She didn't expect Miao Yi to be shocked when he heard this. He realized that this woman's methods were indeed different from before. She actually wanted to strip him of his military authority. Once he was transferred away from East Arrival Cave, then the men and horses of East Arrival Cave would no longer be under his control. They would be the foundation for him to fight for the Mountain Chieftain's throne in the future. She was trying to make him a mere figurehead.
"No no no, Mountain Chieftain. Just let me be a Steed Deputy in East Arrival Cave." Miao Yi immediately cupped his fists and begged.
He had no choice but to lower his head when he was under someone else's roof.
Qin Weiwei was slightly hesitant as she said, "Isn't being a Steed Deputy a little too condescending for you? Don't worry. The rewards by my side will not be less than what you get as a Cave Master in East Arrival Cave. "
"No, no!" Miao Yi hurriedly waved his hands.
What was so bad about being a Steed Deputy? Being a powerless Steed Deputy was indeed bad, but being a Steed Deputy with authority was different. In the entire cultivation realm, Miao Yi was probably the only one who had tasted the benefits of it. There was no other Steed Deputy like him, who held real power in his hands. Naturally, he was the only one who knew best.
Even though he was the Steed Deputy, how could he possibly have the authority to care for the horses in East Arrival Cave? If anyone really dared to do so, he could immediately cause the entire force of East Arrival Cave to collapse. Once he signed the Commandment of Conformity and violated it, all the School of Blue Jade disciples would have to scram back to where they came from. No one could even dream of plucking his peaches.
Putting aside the fact that the current Cave Master of East Arrival Cave, Yan Xiu, didn't have any ideas, even if he did, it would be useless. The disciples of the School of Blue Jade wouldn't listen to him, because Miao Yi was the one who could decide whether or not they could continue living within the rules.
Hence, ever since he became the Steed Deputy of East Arrival Cave, he had never let go of a single horse. Naturally, there would be someone to help him. Now that he had a shield for those miscellaneous matters that required the identity of a Cave Master to personally attend to, Miao Yi could cultivate in peace. He only needed to grasp the general direction.
The biggest advantage was that he could now go wherever he wanted. Once he asked, Yan Xiu couldn't refuse even if he didn't want to. If the higher-ups asked, Yan Xiu would have to bite the bullet and say that he sent him out to do something.
Qin Weiwei looked at him suspiciously.
Seeing that she didn't agree, Miao Yi became a little anxious. He could only shamelessly smile and say, "Mountain Chieftain, didn't you say that we were … friends? About that … "
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning behind it was clear. 'Since you said that you want to be friends with me, then treat me as a friend and help me out.'
Seeing that he had personally admitted to being friends, Qin Weiwei's bright eyes flashed with a strange light. Dressed in a snow-white long dress, she stood up from behind the long table and walked around to stand in front of Miao Yi, raising her jade-like palm.
Miao Yi also stood up in shock, not knowing what she meant.
"Friends!" Qin Weiwei gestured.
Miao Yi understood. She wanted to slap his palm as an oath to confirm their friendship.
How could he not comply with such a small request? Sometimes, Miao Yi was very tactful. However, when he raised his palm, he was still hesitant. He wondered if she had dug a pit for him to jump into?
Qin Weiwei didn't hesitate with him. Seeing that he had raised his palm, she took the initiative to slap it with her jade-like palm. 'Pa!' She slapped Miao Yi's palm together, and the matter was settled.
At this moment, Qin Weiwei, who had always been cold in front of outsiders, suddenly revealed her small mouth and smiled sweetly.
This smile was so dazzling that it could move anyone's heart. Miao Yi was momentarily stunned. He realized that this woman was really beautiful when she smiled. It was such a waste to keep a straight face all the time.
However, he could understand. At Qin Weiwei's position, she couldn't be too frivolous. Otherwise, it would damage her dignity, especially for a woman. It was very easy for others to look down on her. Only by maintaining a stern expression for a long period of time could her subordinates feel fear.
Seeing him staring at her foolishly, Qin Weiwei's heartstrings trembled. She tried her best to hide the shyness in her heart, then turned to her personal handmaidens and said, "From today onwards, Miao Yi is my friend. In the future, he doesn't need to report if he wants to come to Mount Calming Sea. He can look for me directly."
"Yes!" The two girls stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Hong Mian and Lu Liu greet Lord Miao!"
The way they addressed him changed in an instant, and it was quite high-class.
However, it was raised too high, causing Miao Yi to sweat profusely. He quickly cupped his fists and said, "Elder Auntie, Little Auntie wouldn't dare to do this."
However, he was muttering to himself, 'What the hell is this woman doing?'
The two girls covered their mouths and laughed, "Since Lord Miao is a friend of the Mountain Chieftain, you can just call us Hong Mian and Lu Liu when there are no outsiders in the future."
"I wouldn't dare!" Miao Yi cupped his fists in embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, Qin Weiwei said to him in all seriousness, "You are my first friend!"
"Uhh … Your subordinate is flattered!"
"In the future, we won't address each other as superior and subordinate in private. That would be too distant. I will call you Miao Yi, and you can also call me by my name. You can also call me … Weiwei …" As soon as these words left her mouth, Qin Weiwei couldn't help but blush. Fortunately, she was used to being expressionless and was good at hiding it.
'What is this? Call me Weiwei? Oh my god, please spare me! ' Miao Yi's expression twitched, "Your subordinate …"
Today, he had finally witnessed what it meant to be ruthless. A soft knife to kill was much more ruthless than a hard knife. In the past, he had thought that this woman's mind was ordinary. If it weren't for her good fortune of having a good father, he was afraid … But today, he was finally convinced.
"I said that we are friends in private. We will address each other by name," Qin Weiwei corrected him.
"..." Miao Yi's expression was as though he had eaten honey with salt added to it. He was at a loss for words, but none of this was important. What was important was his own matter. What was important was that he had a favor to ask of her. He braced himself and said, "Qin … Qin Weiwei. Then my matter …"
Miao Yi felt very awkward when he called out her name. It made him feel as though he had some ulterior motives towards this woman.
Not to mention himself, even Hong Mian and Lu Liu had a strange expression on their faces, as though they were trying to stifle their laughter with puffed cheeks.
Qin Weiwei also felt awkward when she heard it. She felt that her name was like a hard rock coming out of Miao Yi's mouth, but her emotions were rippling. Even if a hard rock were to be smashed into the lake of the heart, it would still cause ripples.
"Since you are unwilling, then forget it. If you change your mind, you can look for me anytime. I will do my best to help you resolve it."
Great Mountain Chieftain Qin was more than just loyal to her friends! When she looked at her friend, her bright eyes were filled with a spark that could set a prairie ablaze.
Miao Yi felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, but his mind was in a mess. He wanted to straighten out his thoughts and carefully ponder what the other party meant by putting on this show today.
In an instant, various thoughts flashed through his mind. He thought of all kinds of possibilities, and even thought that this woman couldn't have fallen for him, could she?
However, he quickly dismissed this thought.
What was his background? He was an orphan, and a butcher covered in grease on the streets.
Since he was young, no woman had ever fallen for him. How many members of the opposite sex would fall for a butcher covered in grease? How many families would accept a son-in-law who was born an orphan, had no background, and even had two little oil bottles with him?
Since he was young, no woman had ever fallen for him. He was the only one who had a crush on someone else.
He had a crush on the daughter of the tofu shop's Old Li. When he asked for her hand in marriage, even the matchmaker was chased out.
When he set up his meat stall on the streets, he would also reveal a look of eagerness when he saw a beautiful girl. However, the girls were unwilling to go near the greasy and dirty pork stall, and would always avoid him.
When he looked up at Fairy Hong Chen who descended from the sky in the ancient city, her otherworldly beauty had instantly caused his heart to palpitate with excitement. It was instantly engraved in his heart. However, her gaze had only gently swept across his body, treating him like an ant. Even if she didn't spare him a glance, it would be an honor. How could she possibly fall for him? She was an existence that was far beyond his reach, and he could only look up to her.
Even though Lao Bai had once calmly told him, "Fine wine and beautiful women are all for naught. I'm just afraid that your heart won't strive for progress, and you'll be wasting your time moving forward. Even if there is an ageless beauty, she will only be waiting for the day you turn the tides. How is she out of reach? "
At that time, Lao Bai's words were deafening to him. Even the Greatest Voice of Desolation was nothing more than this.
However, it didn't change the fact that no woman had ever fallen for him. The realm that Lao Bai was talking about was to stand at the peak, and use strength to conquer everything!
If he had to say that there were, perhaps Qian'Er and Xue'Er could be counted. However, everyone knew that it was different.
That was why Miao Yi had long since gotten used to it. He was used to lacking love, so how could there be a woman who would fall for him?
As for Qin Weiwei, he felt that it was even more impossible. Qin Weiwei was high and mighty, and Qin Weiwei hated him. He had always remembered it, and he felt that it was a loathing that came from looking down on him, because of her identity and background.
He, Miao Yi, was also a normal man. Qin Weiwei was beautiful, and he would occasionally sneak a peek at her, so it wasn't like he hadn't fantasized about her before.
However, in his understanding, if a person had reached the point of looking down on you, then it was impossible for them to truly like you.
What's more, the situation today had completely reversed, and was filled with inconceivable things. If he could still think that she liked him because of this, then he would be thinking too highly of himself.
Therefore, this kind of thought only flashed through Miao Yi's mind for a moment before he immediately tossed it to the back of his mind. He was used to lacking love, so he wouldn't have any improper thoughts.
"Prepare a table full of dishes and wine. Miao Yi and I will have a drink."
Qin Weiwei didn't know what he was thinking, and turned around to instruct the two handmaidens behind her.
"There's no need. The Cave Master has instructed me to do something …" Miao Yi hurriedly found an excuse to decline. He didn't understand the situation at the moment, and was afraid that he would fall into some kind of trap if he stayed any longer. This woman's unpredictability today made him feel a little afraid.
What could Yan Xiu order him to do? Qin Weiwei naturally knew that he was declining, but she couldn't do something so shameless. So in the end, she didn't ask Miao Yi to stay for a drink, and let him go.
