However, Miao Yi had already promised Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan. Naturally, he wouldn't disappoint his two subordinates easily. He was a man of his word.
However, he wasn't someone to be trifled with. He didn't get to where he was today purely by luck. Since he dared to come here alone, he naturally had his own plans. Thus, he wouldn't reject him outright.
"It's just a small matter. I wouldn't dare trouble Elder Tong! Haha, I'm a little tired after running non-stop for two days … "Miao Yi chuckled as he took a sip of tea.
He was sending his guest off. Zhan Lisong and Tang Yue's expressions darkened as they stared coldly at Miao Yi.
Tong Renmei also gave Miao Yi a sidelong glance, but he didn't press him too hard. Miao Yi had just arrived, so it wasn't appropriate to press him. He immediately stood up and smiled. "Milord, you must be tired from all the running. Please rest for a while. We will hold a feast for you later! We won't disturb you any further. "
Miao Yi stood up and smiled. "I won't be seeing you out!"
Both parties cupped their fists in farewell. As Tong Renmei led the two Elders out of the main hall, he glanced at the boys standing by the door and frowned.
After the three of them had left the side courtyard, Tong Renmei stopped in his tracks and turned to Tang Yue. "Junior Brother, why did you arrange for two boys to serve you?"
Tang Yue was surprised. "Senior Brother, is this always the arrangement for guests?"
Zhan Lisong nodded. "That's right. Guests usually don't like their privacy being exposed. So, arranging for two boys without any cultivation is the most reassuring. They like it too."
"How can he be the same as other guests?" Tong Renmei retorted with a question, then waved his hand and said, "It's not the same. Officials like them are different from cultivators of sects like us. They often have beautiful concubines by their side to serve them, so having two boys might not be to their liking."
The two Junior Brothers were stunned. The School of Blue Jade was either filled with their own disciples or their own family members. It could be considered a prestigious and upright sect, and it wasn't some filthy place. Where would they find beautiful concubines to sleep with? They couldn't possibly send someone to the nearest city to get two brothel girls, could they?
That wouldn't do. It would be a disgrace to the sect's reputation. It would be troublesome if word got out. Besides, he had a hundred thousand followers. He could get any beauties he wanted with just a word. He might not even be interested in those brothel girls. There was no need to do something so strenuous and unrewarding.
Seeing that the two of them still didn't understand what he meant, Tong Renmei reminded them again, "Go find two young and beautiful female disciples."
"Ah! This … "Tang Yue's forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat. Wasn't this making things difficult for them?" Senior Brother, let the female disciples of our sect 'accompany' the guests. Was this appropriate? I'm afraid those female disciples won't be willing to do that. If the Sect Master hears about it … "
"What's up?" Tong Renmei abruptly turned around and said, "Did I say that I wanted them to do something shameful?"
Isn't that what you mean? The two of them muttered in their hearts, but on the surface, they still blushed with shame. "No."
Tong Renmei said earnestly, "I'm asking them to entertain the guests on behalf of the School of Blue Jade. I'm not asking them to do anything else. However, he had to make things clear to them. This person was someone who could shove twenty School of Blue Jade disciples into East Arrival Cave in one go. Now that he had lost three of them, he reckoned it wouldn't be a problem for him to recruit another two. Whoever could serve the guest well, he might even allow them to join East Arrival Cave. When that time came, all he had to do was ask. Naturally, we won't stop them. "
The two Junior Brothers were sweating profusely. They thought to themselves, 'After going around in circles, isn't it just asking the female disciples of our sect to do that?'
Tang Yue, who was in charge of this matter, was a little troubled. "Senior Brother, I'm afraid the cultivation of those young female disciples won't be enough to join East Arrival Cave, right? Their cultivation is sufficient, but their looks are a little too old. I'm afraid it won't be suitable. "
"That will depend on their abilities. Usually, it wouldn't be their turn to participate. This is a rare opportunity. At such a young age, they can go to East Arrival Cave and share the power of faith of the world. It will allow their cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds. This is a good thing that many people can only dream of. It's their luck to meet them. Whether or not they can grasp this opportunity is up to them. "
"… Understood!"
"Remember, find two reliable people. In case they go to East Arrival Cave, they can be our eyes. Now that East Arrival Cave is filled with Hong Changhai's men, we have to listen to whatever he says. We are completely in the dark. Also, tell them to be careful with Miao Yi staying here. "
"Understood!" Tang Yue could only grit his teeth and agree. He thought to himself, 'You won't even say the word' dirty ', yet you want me to do this dirty thing. How am I going to explain this to those female disciples later as an Elder?! Isn't this forcing a good girl into prostitution?! '
Thus, in the end, two female disciples from the School of Blue Jade, who were both top-notch in terms of figure and appearance, came to the side courtyard. They wanted to take the place of the two boys serving the esteemed guests.
However, they were stopped by the side courtyard's guards, Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan.
Even though the two of them were disciples of the School of Blue Jade, they were now members of East Arrival Cave. Protecting Miao Yi's safety was their responsibility. How could they allow anyone to enter and disturb Miao Yi so easily?
After the two female disciples bowed to the two sect elders, they awkwardly explained their purpose for coming.
Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan were still clear about the School of Blue Jade's rules. Whenever a guest came to the sect, they would always be served by a capable boy. Why did it change to a female disciple?
The two of them suspiciously verified the identity of the two girls. One of them brought them in, and took the place of the two boys.
The two boys were currently boiling water, preparing to bathe the guests. After all, not every place had a hot spring.
As he was bathing, Miao Yi didn't know how the School of Blue Jade usually treated their guests. He didn't find it strange when he saw the two girls come in to serve him. He was used to being served by Qian'Er and Xue'Er.
He naturally opened his arms, and allowed the two female disciples to help him undress.
However, he also noticed something strange. The two female disciples seemed to be novices. Their movements were a little clumsy when they undressed him, and they were even trembling a little.
After Miao Yi entered the water, the two nervous female disciples finally bit the bullet and took off their clothes. Those who agreed to Tang Yue's request must have already thrown caution to the wind for the sake of their future.
Revealing their graceful figures and snow-white skin, they trembled as they entered the water, and stood on either side of Miao Yi. Their hands trembled as they helped Miao Yi bathe. It was obvious that they weren't used to touching a man's skin. Compared to Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who were sent to East Arrival Cave to show their filial respect to Miao Yi and had been carefully trained beforehand, they couldn't be compared at all.
Miao Yi looked to his left and right at the two whose faces were flushed red, and shook his head. They didn't know how to serve someone at all. What was the point of sending them here?
In the end, Miao Yi still had to do it himself. He casually washed himself, got out of the bath, put on his clothes, and left. He didn't do anything to the two girls, and didn't even say a word. He left the two bewildered female disciples in the water.
It looked like they didn't win the favor of the esteemed guest!
The two female disciples gritted their teeth. Since it was already like this after taking off their clothes … the two of them were prepared to throw caution to the wind tonight. For the sake of their future, they could only let down a certain Senior Brother!
That night, Tong Renmei held a banquet for Miao Yi in the side courtyard. He didn't seem to notice that the boys serving him had already been replaced by two female disciples, and acted as though he had nothing to do with the matter.
After the banquet ended, not long after they bid their farewells, Hong Changhai finally came in. He asked the two disciples at the door in a low voice, "Have Tong Renmei and the others all left yet?"
Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan nodded. They looked to their left and right, and let their master in.
When they entered the main hall, they suddenly saw two female disciples serving him. Hong Changhai was also surprised, and sternly reprimanded them, "What are you two doing here?"
The female disciples trembled as they replied, "We are here to serve Milord."
"Serve?" Hong Changhai had a suspicious look on his face.
He didn't think too much into it, and assumed that Miao Yi was used to being served by women. He reprimanded the two of them and left first, before entering the main hall with Miao Yi.
"Elder Hong, is there something wrong?" Miao Yi turned around and asked the female disciple who was walking away.
"Hehe! It's nothing. " Hong Changhai waved his hand. Since the guest liked to be served by women, he wouldn't spoil his mood.
Miao Yi had mysteriously been made a scapegoat. He didn't ask for beautiful women to serve him.
He wasn't the kind of lecherous person who would want to sleep with any woman he saw. If he really had such a taste, not to mention the fact that Qian'Er and Xue'Er's chastity was long gone, what kind of beauty in East Arrival City couldn't he get? It was just a matter of saying the word, and someone would naturally think of a way to offer it to him.
After the two of them sat down, Hong Changhai chuckled, "Milord, did you have a good chat with Elder Tong?"
Miao Yi knew what he was worried about, and smiled, "Rest assured, Elder Hong. Your beloved disciple is serving under me. How can I let my own subordinate be disappointed?"
Hong Changhai immediately felt reassured, and his brows relaxed as he said, "Milord told the Sect Master in the Grand Hall today that you have a private matter to discuss with me. I have come here today to listen."
He had also asked Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan in private about Miao Yi's intentions in coming here, but the two of them didn't know either. They only knew that Miao Yi had suddenly decided to come here. Before this, there weren't any clues, and it wasn't even easy to guess.
"Actually, it's nothing major. I just wanted to ask if Milord still remembers the opening of the Boundless Secular World?"
"Of course I wouldn't forget such a major event. That was already several decades ago."
"I heard from Yuan Fang and the others that the School of Blue Jade didn't send anyone to participate at that time."
Hong Changhai smiled bitterly, "How can any random sect participate in such an event? Every sect wants the Glorious Star immortal herb. Our School of Blue Jade was ostracized by those major sects. Those who participated in this event were all from the major sects within the territories governed by the Twelve Overlords. Why is Milord asking about this? "
Miao Yi asked, "There's a city within the borders of South Edict Manor, called Changfeng City. When the Boundless Secular World opened all those years ago, there were various sects residing nearby. Could Elder Hong help me find out which sects went to Changfeng City at that time?"
Hong Changhai didn't know what he wanted to do. He muttered, "Those who participated are those sects. It shouldn't be difficult to find out. Just find the sects that participated that year, and ask any one of them."
Miao Yi immediately perked up, "Does Elder Hong have any familiar sects to ask?"
Hong Changhai smiled, "Even though the School of Blue Jade isn't a major sect, I have been in the cultivation realm for many years. I still have a few acquaintances in some of the sects. This shouldn't be too difficult."
"Then, can I entrust this matter to Elder Hong?"
"Milord, you're exaggerating. It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. There's no need to entrust it to me. I will do my best." Hong Changhai waved his hand generously. However, he was still a little doubtful as he asked, "Milord, did you come here just to find out about these sects?"
