As soon as they left Mount Calming Sea's grand hall, Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan, who were waiting outside, quickly got on their horses. The three of them turned around and galloped away.
Miao Yi was a little hesitant. Should he go on a long journey? Should he return to East Arrival Cave? That woman doesn't understand, don't play tricks behind my back …
Qin Weiwei stood in front of the attic's window. The gentle breeze outside the window gently caressed her snow-white dress, accentuating the beautiful lines of her figure.
From here, his line of sight was limited by the roof of the main hall. He couldn't see the square outside the hall, but he could see the position of the mountain gate.
Seeing Miao Yi quickly leading his men out of the mountain gates, Qin Weiwei's gaze followed him from afar for a long time. The lines on her face softened, faintly revealing a hint of anticipation for the first awakening of love …
Beside her, Hong Mian and Lu Liu exchanged glances from time to time. After today, the two of them had finally confirmed Qin Weiwei's true love. Otherwise, Qin Weiwei would never have done this.
It was just that they did not expect that Qin Weiwei would actually come up with the idea of becoming friends. She bravely took a step forward and did not even inform the two beforehand.
Exchanging glances, the two of them snickered. They realized how convenient it was to chase after a man with power in hand. The two of them felt that Qin Weiwei should have done this a long time ago. She shouldn't waste her power!
However, the two of them understood Qin Weiwei too well. They knew that with Qin Weiwei's personality, it was already unprecedented for her to take such a step. How much courage did she have to muster in order to take such a step?
Perhaps she could only muster up the courage to do it under the guise of being friends. Otherwise, with her arrogant mouth, she really couldn't ask for more.
The two of them still had to pretend that they hadn't noticed anything. Before Miao Yi expressed anything, the two of them absolutely could not expose him. Otherwise, Qin Weiwei's pride was no joke, and she would definitely shrink back.
What made Hong Mian and Lu Liu at a loss was, could Miao Yi express his feelings towards Qin Weiwei? Bystanders had a clear view of the situation. Both of them could see that Miao Yi was still maintaining a distance away from Qin Weiwei, or perhaps he was still maintaining his vigilance. Could that guy possibly become the Master they would serve in the future?
The three of them didn't stop for even a moment as they galloped out of the borders of South Edict Manor. With the powerful legs of their dragon steeds, they galloped for a full two days before finally making their way into a desolate and uninhabited mountain range.
Traversing mountains and ridges. Crossing the river and drilling into the valley, looking into the distance from the ridge, the mountain range in front of him was occupied by a group of buildings arranged in an orderly manner.
The three of them stopped and panted heavily. Yuan Fang waved her finger. "Milord, please take a look. That is our School of Blue Jade."
"Oh!" After Miao Yi took a look, he turned around and smiled, "Sorry to disturb you. I hope it won't be rude?"
Lai Yuhan replied, "Don't worry, Sir. I've already informed Master in advance! "
Miao Yi nodded. "It's been a long time since I've seen Elder Hong. I'm looking forward to it."
"Milord, the two of us have a favor to ask of you!" Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan suddenly leapt off their dragon steeds and cupped their fists towards Miao Yi.
Miao Yi was taken aback by her serious demeanor, "What is it?"
The two of them exchanged glances, then Yuan Fang cupped his fists and said, "Milord, during the battle between the Manor Head and Zhang Decheng that year, our School of Blue Jade was unable to lend a hand. Actually, most of this was due to Master's decision. As a result, we ruined the plans of the School of Blue Jade and incurred the wrath of the Sect Master. Our fellow disciples also have many complaints against Master. Now that Master is in a difficult situation within the school, we have returned. Naturally, we will share Master's burdens! "
"So that's how it is. I was wondering what happened to the School of Blue Jade back then." Miao Yi suddenly understood. He asked curiously, "How can I help?"
"Milord, because we serve under Milord, it is also the only thing Master can do to manage the School of Blue Jade. Almost all of our other rights have been taken away. Even so, Master still tries his best to protect Milord in the School of Blue Jade. Otherwise, Master wouldn't have allowed twenty elite disciples to serve a single abode of Immortals back then. " It was as if he didn't know whether he should say the following words.
Miao Yi nodded and said, "The two of you have gone through thick and thin with me. If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?!"
"Yes!" Yuan Fang cupped his fists and said, "Milord's visit to the School of Blue Jade this time is likely because someone will seize the opportunity to take away Master's last bit of authority. Once Master completely loses his authority in the School of Blue Jade, us brothers will definitely be implicated in the future. In the future, if we still wish to obtain the next cultivation technique, someone will definitely obstruct us. We can only betray Master and beg someone else. We cannot bear such a disgraceful reputation! "
Miao Yi was taken aback. He asked doubtfully, "So you want me to ignore everyone else and only contact your Master?"
"Milord is wise. That is precisely my intention!" Yuan Fang nodded.
Actually, this wasn't his intention. After finding out that Miao Yi was coming to the School of Blue Jade, he immediately sent a message to Hong Changhai. Thus, he received Hong Changhai's instructions.
Hong Changhai was indeed anxious. 'Miao Yi, why did you come to the School of Blue Jade for no reason? I already said that you, Miao Yi, are only willing to contact me. If you come here, won't I be completely exposed? I won't have anything to do with it anymore. In the future, I will be completely ostracized, and the cultivation resources within the school will naturally no longer belong to me. I can only retire and wait for death. '
At Hong Changhai's age, if he didn't have cultivation resources to maintain a certain level of progress in his cultivation, then his lifespan would soon come to an end.
Under such circumstances, how could he not be anxious? Naturally, he wanted his disciple to deal with Miao Yi at all costs.
"This …" Miao Yi was a little troubled. After pondering for a moment, he had no choice but to speak his mind, "I understand your intentions. But since your Master has already lost his authority in the School of Blue Jade, and can no longer use the school's resources, how will he be able to serve me in the future?"
This was a very real problem. He didn't treat the two of them as outsiders, so he had to make things clear.
'My relationship with your Master, Hong Changhai, isn't so good that I have to give up my own interests. Do you think I came to the School of Blue Jade this time for sightseeing? I want the School of Blue Jade to help me. Otherwise, why would I need to come all the way here? '
Yuan Fang replied, "Your subordinate understands! But Milord, you are overthinking things. If it were anyone else, to make the School of Blue Jade pay such a huge price and incur the wrath of the masses, I'm afraid they might even be sentenced to death. Since Master is still able to retain what little authority he has, he naturally has something to rely on. The only Grand Elder of the School of Blue Jade is my Grandmaster! As long as Milord is willing to cooperate, Master will still be able to think of a way to not disappoint Milord. If he can't, then it won't be too late for Milord to make other plans! "
The School of Blue Jade wasn't considered a large sect. At most, it was considered a lower-tier sect. Miao Yi had heard of this School of Blue Jade's Grand Elder before. He was the only remaining Mountain Guardian Elder of the School of Blue Jade, and was rumored to have a cultivation at Red Lotus Third Grade, two grades higher than the School of Blue Jade's Sect Master. Miao Yi didn't expect him to be Hong Changhai's Master.
"So that's how it is!" Miao Yi nodded slightly, thinking that it wasn't a bad idea.
Seeing his hesitation, and not knowing what he was thinking, the two Senior and Junior Brothers looked at each other. Suddenly, they shook off their long robes and knelt down on one knee, cupping their fists towards Miao Yi, who was sitting upright on the ground. "Please grant us our wish, Milord! If we can help Master overcome this hurdle, we Senior and Junior Brothers are willing to go through fire and water for Milord in the future! "
"Forget it! Seeing that the two of you are so respectful towards your Master, how can I refuse?! "Miao Yi raised his hand and gestured for them to rise." Rise! "
"Thank you, Milord!" The two of them immediately heaved a sigh of relief and stood up. They could finally answer to their Master.
The three of them continued forward on their dragon steeds. Soon, the barren mountain range suddenly gave off a sense of hope, and a sense of hope. An ancient stone path appeared before their eyes, with towering ancient trees on both sides.
A group of people were already standing under the archway of the ancient mountain gate in front of them to welcome them. The archway was carved out of a large piece of blue jade, with the words' School of Blue Jade 'engraved on it.
At this point, it wouldn't be good to rush in. Otherwise, it would mean that they were looking down on the School of Blue Jade. Miao Yi raised his hand slightly, and the three of them slowed down their mounts. The sound of their dragon steeds' hooves could be heard clearly on the stone path.
Acacia trees began to appear on both sides, their petals fluttering like snow.
To be honest, when it came to the beauty of the verdant hills and limpid waters, Miao Yi realized that the entire area occupied by the School of Blue Jade might not be any better than his East Arrival Cave. It was just that it had been manmade for a long time, and the environment was rather elegant.
However, this was understandable. The famous mountains and rivers in the world that were blessed with spiritual beauty were almost all occupied by palaces and abodes of Immortals. A small sect like the School of Blue Jade didn't have much of a right to choose.
Miao Yi's gaze swept across the people welcoming them under the archway of the mountain gate. As expected, he saw Elder Hong Changhai among them. However, he was standing at the very back with two disciples. It was said that this person, whose position in the School of Blue Jade was second only to the Sect Master, had indeed lost his influence.
Instead, there were three old men standing at the front. The one in the lead had a ruddy complexion and a youthful complexion. His aura overshadowed the others.
Taking the opportunity to slow down, Miao Yi secretly transmitted his voice to ask, "Who's the one in the lead?"
"The one on the left is called Zhan Lisong. The one on the right is called Tang Yue. The one in the lead is called Tong Renmei. They are all Elders of the school. Currently, it is Elder Tong who has taken over Master's authority in the school!" Yuan Fang quickly transmitted her voice back.
Tong Renmei? Miao Yi subconsciously turned to look at Lai Yuhan. He realized that the men of the School of Blue Jade were always named after women.
When they were about five to six zhang away from the mountain gate archway, Miao Yi waved his hand to stop as a sign of respect to the School of Blue Jade. The three of them dismounted from their dragon steeds.
He also understood that the reason so many Elders had come out to personally welcome him wasn't because of his cultivation, but because of his status.
For example, in the cultivation realm, the School of Blue Jade was like the villagers of the secular world, while Miao Yi was like an official of the secular government. No matter how low his position was, his status was still there. When an official came, the villagers would naturally line the streets to welcome him.
Miao Yi couldn't go overboard. Firstly, he had already been demoted to a Steed Deputy in name. Secondly, he had a favor to ask of them.
Even though the School of Blue Jade had sent so many Elders out to welcome him, they couldn't lower themselves too much. Seeing that Miao Yi was tactful, everyone smiled and walked out of the archway to welcome him.
At this moment, Hong Changhai was already looking at his two beloved disciples. Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan both gave him a look and secretly nodded their heads, indicating that the matter had been settled.
Hong Changhai, whose heart was in his throat, immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He gave his two disciples a look of approval, as though praising them for not letting him down.
"Are you East Arrival Cave Master Miao?" Elder Tong Renmei had already cupped his fists and inquired.
Miao Yi cupped his fists and mocked himself, "The Cave Master of East Arrival Cave did not come. Instead, a Steed Deputy has come. I have disappointed everyone."
