Yan Xiu didn't expect Gongsun Yu to be waiting here to greet him. He immediately returned the greeting, "Cave Master Gongsun."
Gongsun Yu scrutinized Yan Xiu from head to toe, causing Yan Xiu to feel very uncomfortable. He could not forget the time when Gongsun Yu had forced him to kneel on the ground with a single spear strike.
"Cave Master Gongsun, what advice do you have for me?" Yan Xiu asked, puzzled.
"Nothing much." Gongsun Yu smiled and said, "I wonder why the Mountain Chieftain asked you to stay behind alone just now?"
Yan Xiu frowned. This question was too rude. Was there a need for the Mountain Chieftain to tell you about my conversation? He said perfunctorily, "Nothing much. If there's nothing else, Cave Master Gongsun, Yan Xiu will take his leave. "
"No hurry!" Gongsun Yu immediately placed his hand in front of Yan Xiu's chest, completely disregarding Yan Xiu. "I believe the Mountain Chieftain talked to you about Miao Yi just now?"
Yan Xiu was taken aback and looked at him in astonishment. How did he know?
When Gongsun Yu saw his reaction, he knew that he had guessed correctly. He was just testing it out, but he didn't expect it to be true. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did the Mountain Chieftain say about Miao Yi?"
Yan Xiu's expression darkened. "Cave Master Gongsun, don't go overboard. Is the Mountain Chieftain's business something you can inquire about?"
Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan quickly rushed over and stood beside Yan Xiu. Yuan Fang asked coldly, "Cave Master, what's the matter?"
Gongsun Yu completely ignored Yuan Fang. He glared at Yan Xiu and coldly said, "Yan Xiu. You know your own limits. You don't have the right to call the shots in East Arrival Cave. Do you really think you're the Cave Master just because I call you Cave Master Yan?"
"Cave Master Gongsun, the affairs of East Arrival Cave are none of your business!" Yuan Fang bellowed.
"Yo! Are they from the School of Blue Jade? " A man and a woman appeared in a flash and stood behind Gongsun Yu. From their attire, it was obvious that they were from Sword Deviate Sect and Jade Lady Sect. Gongsun Yu's Long Viridescent Cave was now fully staffed, and most of his subordinates were disciples from the three major sects.
The Sword Deviate Sect disciple pointed at Yuan Fang's nose and sneered, "The two Cave Masters are talking. Since when was it your turn to interrupt? If you want to play, my Sword Deviate Sect will accompany your School of Blue Jade. "
Gongsun Yu smiled. The School of Blue Jade probably didn't have the guts to provoke the Sword Deviate Sect.
Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan could be said to have suppressed their anger. It was true that the School of Blue Jade couldn't afford to offend the Sword Deviate Sect and the Jade Lady Sect, but these two fellows before them actually dared to act so presumptuously in front of two Blue Lotus cultivators. They must be tired of living.
The two of them were about to flare up, but Yan Xiu didn't want to cause trouble in this kind of place. "Ignore them. Let's go."
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Yu stretched out his hand again to stop him. "Your subordinate has no respect for his elders. How dare he shout at this Cave Master? It won't be too late to let your subordinate apologize first before you leave."
"Gongsun Yu. Don't go too far! "Yan Xiu was enraged. Even a clay figurine had a temper.
"Cavemaster." Beside him, Lai Yuhan interjected and asked Yan Xiu to calm down. He cupped his fists towards Gongsun Yu and said, "It's fine if we apologize. I just want to ask Cave Master Gongsun, do you insist on making East Arrival Cave bow to you today?"
The last sentence could be said to be a deep shout.
Gongsun Yu's expression changed slightly, and he instantly came to his senses. He didn't know why he couldn't control his emotions. Even though the person before him was easy to bully, East Arrival Cave still had that madman who hadn't shown himself. He wasn't to be trifled with. That bastard was capable of anything. If he really angered that bastard, he would raise his troops and attack his Long Viridescent Cave. With Long Viridescent Cave's strength, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.
He slowly lowered his hand and said, "Forget it. For the sake of Brother Miao, I won't argue with you."
He looked as though he was a magnanimous man.
Lai Yuhan cupped his fists forcefully and said, "I will remember Cave Master Gongsun's courtesy today. When I return, I will inform Steed Deputy Miao. I believe Steed Deputy Miao will definitely thank you for your kindness. Farewell! "
The meaning behind his words was clear. 'We don't dare to touch you, but someone else in East Arrival Cave does!'
The corner of Gongsun Yu's lips twitched. This was clearly saying that he bullied the weak and feared the strong. However, as he watched the three of them leave, he didn't dare to stay any longer. He was even vaguely worried about what he would do if that madman really came knocking on his door. It was true that he was Yang Qing's confidant, but Xiong Xiao was also Yang Qing's confidant. A certain someone still nearly killed Xiong Xiao.
Gongsun Yu felt a little regretful. Ever since Miao Yi was demoted to a Steed Deputy, he heard that he had only met Qin Weiwei once in the past ten years. He hadn't even figured out the situation yet. How could the usually calm him suddenly lose control of his emotions ….
Fifth Earthly Branch's capital city, Jade Capital Peak. Miao Yi and the others were all standing in the courtyard, looking up at the sky. Dozens of streaks of light descended from the horizon, and instantly landed on the peak of Jade Capital Peak.
Today was the day when the Palace Lords were rushing to the capital city to hand in their tributes. Each Palace Lord had brought along their respective Hall Masters to escort them. The sight of them flying through the sky together was truly a spectacular sight. Even the weakest among them was an expert at the Red Lotus realm.
Today was also the day of the New Year, so the entire capital city was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. In the sky, a dozen streams of light flew over from another direction, causing the common people and cultivators in the city to raise their heads and exclaim in surprise.
Even up on the mountain, Miao Yi and the others could vaguely hear the commotion at the foot of the mountain. However, Miao Yi and the others' cultivation was not high enough, and the other party was flying at an incredible speed, so they couldn't see what the Palace Lords and Hall Masters looked like at all.
Looking up, Miao Yi and the others couldn't help but sigh. They didn't know when their own cultivation would be able to reach such a realm where they could move unhindered between heaven and earth.
Luo Shuangfei didn't seem to have the slightest interest in flying around. Instead, he would occasionally pluck a flower from the surrounding flowerbeds and stick it in his hair. He would even hold a mirror in his hand and look at himself. When he was pleased with himself, his thick eyebrows would even curl up and down as he smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. Coupled with the large, hairy mole on his face and the flower on his head, it was as disgusting as one could imagine. However, he still looked as if he was enjoying himself endlessly, causing those who occasionally glanced at him to shudder in disgust. They wanted nothing more than to go over and give him a couple of kicks.
After nightfall, the entire capital city was immersed in the splendid glow of colorful lanterns. The sound of firecrackers could be heard everywhere, and dazzling fireworks could be seen rising into the sky. The mountains and rivers reflected in the scenery, creating a beautiful sight to behold.
As they descended from Jade Capital Peak, Miao Yi and the others could smell the thick stench of gunpowder as they walked along the streets, immersing themselves in the joyous bustle of the human world.
The group wanted to head to the busiest spot of the night, Jade Lake, to admire the scenery. However, there were too many joyous people on the streets, so the group decided to stay by the river instead. They rented a flower boat with lanterns of various colors hanging on it, and sipped on pastries and tea as they rode the boat along the waterway. However, the waterway was also filled with boats today, making it a little crowded.
Both sides of the river were bustling with activity, and the lanterns were gorgeous. Luo Shuangfei's eyes weren't enough to take it all in, and he couldn't sit still any longer. Holding something in his hand and biting on it, he ran back and forth on the deck. Whenever he saw a flower boat filled with girls passing by, he would immediately swallow the food in his mouth and whistle at the girls to tease them, smiling and waving at them.
The girls on the boat waved their scarves and said, "Young Master, come on up!"
"Alright, alright. We'll be right behind you!" Luo Shuangfei winked at them happily.
Inside the cabin, Miao Yi and the others couldn't help but shake their heads at his behavior. How could there be such a weirdo among cultivators?
Leaning against the railing and looking around, Miao Yi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "What a bustling scene."
As the boat followed the river into Jade Lake, the surface of the river abruptly widened into a boundless expanse. Countless flower boats of various sizes could be seen on the surface of the lake, and the reflections on the rippling surface of the lake resembled the stars in the sky, reflecting off the bright moon and starry sky. It was a sight to behold.
From time to time, the sound of musical instruments could be heard from the flower boats that passed by, and the sounds of birds singing and swallows dancing could be heard. Those large, luxurious boats used by brothels were much larger than the one Miao Yi and the others were using to ferry passengers.
According to Lin Pingping, the location of the Top Courtesan Competition would be at the center of Jade Lake. A large ship would be anchored there, and they were still quite a distance away from that location.
A medium-sized flower boat that was several times larger than the one Miao Yi and the others were on passed by in front of them. Its four sides were draped with white muslin that fluttered in the night breeze. Inside the boat was a large couch, and a man dressed in a thin gray robe sat cross-legged with his hair tied up with a jade hairpin.
"Wuu … wuu wuu …"
A graceful woman with a graceful figure rested on his thighs. A yellow flute covered in tear stains was placed vertically against her red lips. As her jade-like fingers moved up and down, the melodious sound of the flute was filled with vicissitudes and ethereal, causing one's mind to drift away. It was completely different from the music played on the other boats.
The woman leisurely played the flute with her eyes closed. Her skin was as white as snow, and her chest was half-exposed. She wore a light yellow long dress that was as long as a piece of muslin, and the slit almost reached her crotch. Her slender legs, as round as jade, were enough to make one's blood boil. Her legs were almost lifted from the bottom of her dress, and she laid bare on the couch, her fine black hair cascading down like a waterfall.
The man reached out to the golden alms bowl beside him and picked up an ice cube. He used the cold to gently rub it over the woman's snow-white chest, leaving behind a trail of water. The woman closed her eyes and played the flute with a faint smile on her face.
Attracted by the ethereal and melodious sound of the flute, Miao Yi and the others couldn't help but look over. As the veil around them fluttered in the night wind, the man's face was revealed. Miao Yi couldn't help but be taken aback. 'Xiao Yizhu?
The man on the boat with the charming woman was actually his sworn brother, Xiao Yizhu. But why would he appear here? ' Miao Yi thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He immediately rushed to the bow of the boat and shouted, "Big Brother Xiao!"
Inside the boat, Luo Shuangfei and the others were astonished. 'There's someone he knows here?'
The two boats had almost passed each other by each other. Xiao Yizhu heard a familiar voice and subconsciously turned around to look. When he saw Miao Yi standing at the bow of the boat, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He quickly turned his head back and pretended not to see him.
This Xiao Yizhu was naturally the Hall Master of Suppressing Second Hall, Huo Lingxiao. He was a little depressed. 'Why did I bump into this brat here? What's an East Arrival Cave Steed Deputy doing here?'
When he turned around, Miao Yi could clearly see that it was indeed him.
The melodious sound of the flute paused for a moment. The woman resting on Huo Lingxiao's thigh opened her eyes slightly and glanced over. She calmly asked, "Since it's an acquaintance, why didn't you greet me?"
There was a hint of indifference in her languid tone. As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of the flute could be heard again, along with the rhythm of her jade-like fingers.
Huo Lingxiao was slightly taken aback. He didn't think that she would be able to detect a slight movement from him. He smiled and said, "Maybe I got the wrong person."
