This time, Luo Shuangfei had really pissed Miao Yi off.
After his bath, Miao Yi went to the side courtyard and ordered Luo Shuangfei to immediately scram and move to the place he was assigned. However, Luo Shuangfei refused to comply.
As a result, the consequences were dire. Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan had come as well. In the side courtyard, six of the strongest cultivators in East Arrival Cave had surrounded Luo Shuangfei with weapons in their hands.
In the end, Luo Shuangfei bit his lip and lowered his head, looking very wronged as he was forcefully escorted out by the six men. Before he left the hospital, he turned around to look at the expressionless Miao Yi.
Miao Yi could not help but sigh at the bitterness in her eyes.
Initially, Miao Yi didn't want to treat Luo Shuangfei so harshly. Luo Shuangfei was the first talent he had taken the initiative to recruit, and he had high hopes for Luo Shuangfei. Luo Shuangfei wanted to learn from Yang Qing when he first tried to recruit him, showing kindness everywhere he went. So much so that when something happened, Miao Yi would risk his life to serve Yang Qing. That was why he often indulged Luo Shuangfei.
He felt that he had treated Luo Shuangfei with enough respect, but who would have thought that he would not be able to move this fellow in the slightest. Now, this fellow was actually so audacious as to peep at him and his handmaidens bathing. If he continued to indulge him, who knew what this fellow would do next?
Naturally, he had to teach Luo Shuangfei a lesson. This time, he had to make Luo Shuangfei understand that if there was a next time, he, Miao Yi, would most likely take Luo Shuangfei's life. He, Miao Yi, had the ability to do so in East Arrival Cave!
Miao Yi let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't think that his first attempt at recruiting someone would be such a failure. It seemed like he had to quickly deal with this guy's identity as a Loose Cultivator. Perhaps that would allow him to settle down sooner. With the restriction of the Immortal Record, this guy wouldn't dare to act recklessly again!
He turned around and returned to the Silent Chamber to cultivate. After what had happened, he was no longer in the mood to spend time with Qian 'er and Xue' er anymore …
In Long Viridescent Cave, Gongsun Yu, who was cultivating cross-legged in a silent room, said, "Come in."
A handmaiden came in and reported, "Cave Master, someone from East Arrival Cave has come to request an audience with you."
"East Arrival Cave?" Gongsun Yu opened his eyes and asked curiously, "Who wants to see me?"
The handmaiden replied, "He said there is a letter from East Arrival Cave's Steed Deputy, Miao Yi, to be delivered in person."
Upon hearing the two words' Miao Yi ', Gongsun Yu's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself,' That lunatic wouldn't really want to cause trouble for me, would he?
However, when he thought about it, he felt that it was unlikely. If they wanted to find trouble with him, they would have done so after the annual tribute. Why wait until now?
He stopped cultivating and walked out of the training room. When he arrived at the living room, he waved his hand and said, "Bring him to see me."
Not long after, the maidservant brought the messenger in. The messenger cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Cave Master Gongsun."
Gongsun Yu nodded and asked, "Miao Yi wrote me a letter?"
"Yes!" The person took out a jade archive and handed it to the handmaiden. The latter passed the jade archive to Gongsun Yu.
Gongsun Yu picked up the jade archive and imbued his transcendence energy to read it. His eyelids immediately twitched. Miao Yi's tone in the jade archive was quite polite.
The gist of the content was, 'Previously, I, Miao Yi, had gone out on an errand. When I returned, I was glad to hear that Cave Master Gongsun was taking good care of East Arrival Cave. He was extremely grateful, and specially prepared a banquet, sincerely inviting him, Gongsun Yu, to East Arrival Cave for a banquet. He requested that Gongsun Yu do him the honor of attending. Miao Yi looked forward to it very much.
How could a mere Steed Deputy of a Cave have the right to invite other Cave Masters to a banquet? However, Miao Yi naturally had the right to do so. Who didn't know that East Arrival Cave's actual head was actually Miao Yi?
The polite invitation made Gongsun Yu's hairs stand on end. Previously, he thought that Miao Yi had been restraining himself. It turned out that this guy wasn't restraining himself, but that he wasn't even in East Arrival Cave before this. He didn't know about the handover of the annual tribute at Mount Calming Sea. Now that he had returned, he probably found out about it and immediately sent out the invitation.
Gongsun Yu finally understood what it meant by 'no good banquet, no good meeting'. That madman had a huge army under his command. Among all the Cave Masters in Mount Calming Sea, his army was the strongest. Previously, he had also heard about the men from the three major sects who went to East Arrival Cave and never returned. Gongsun Yu was a little doubtful that he would be able to return alive if he went to East Arrival Cave. There was nothing that that madman wouldn't dare to do. He even dared to kill a Mountain Chieftain like Xiong Xiao. Why would he care about a mere Cave Master like him?
Gongsun Yu was now filled with regret. Why had he been so impulsive back then in Mount Calming Sea? Why hadn't he been able to control his emotions?
In short, he definitely wouldn't dare to attend this banquet. He placed the jade archive on the tea table at the side, and smiled at the messenger, "I'll have to trouble you to return and reply to Brother Miao. Tell him that Gongsun Yu has other matters to attend to, and is temporarily unable to attend the banquet. On another day, Gongsun Yu will definitely personally host a banquet and invite Brother Miao. "
He wrote a tactfully declining jade archive and handed it to the messenger. Just like that, he sent the messenger away, and immediately gathered all the men in the cave to discuss a countermeasure.
East Arrival Cave. After the messenger's reply was delivered, Miao Yi, who was sitting on the throne in the grand hall, looked at the jade archive and scoffed, "Trying to hide? If you have the guts to bully me, how can you, Gongsun Yu, hide from me if you don't give me an explanation? "
Hearing this, the crowd below felt relieved and chuckled. Then, they saw Miao Yi write another jade archive and throw it to the messenger, "I'll have to trouble you to make another trip. I'll see how long he can hide. If he doesn't apologize, he can forget about this matter."
Thus, the messenger brought Miao Yi's letter and rushed to Long Viridescent Cave.
When Gongsun Yu heard that the messenger had come again, he knew that it was definitely nothing good. He immediately went into hiding, afraid that he wouldn't be able to turn back if he saw him. After his handmaiden received the jade archive, she said to the messenger, "The Cave Master has gone out to patrol his territory. When the Cave Master returns, I will definitely pass on the message."
After sending the messenger away, the jade archive was naturally handed over to Gongsun Yu.
The gist of the letter was, 'Gongsun Yu, could it be that you, Miao Yi, a Steed Deputy, don't have the right to invite you, a Cave Master, so you don't want to give me face? If you, Gongsun Yu, don't come to the banquet, then I, Miao Yi, will have to personally bring my men to Long Viridescent Cave to disturb you. '
'A threat. This is a blatant threat. It's obvious that if you don't come, I will bring my men to settle the score with you.'
'How arrogant!' Gongsun Yu gnashed his teeth in anger, but he knew that he couldn't win. He could only swallow his anger and send a message to Mount Calming Sea, asking the Mountain Chieftain to mediate.
When the news reached Mount Calming Sea, Qin Weiwei, who was pacing back and forth in the loft with a transmission jade archive in hand, frowned and said, "Miao Yi is back! I didn't hear that Gongsun Yu and Miao Yi had any grudges. How did Gongsun Yu offend Miao Yi? "
Naturally, Gongsun Yu wouldn't say how arrogant he had been in Mount Calming Sea. He only said that he had unintentionally offended Yan Xiu. Now that Miao Yi wanted to stand up for Yan Xiu, he didn't want internal strife to occur in Mount Calming Sea, so he asked the Mountain Chieftain to mediate on his behalf. He was willing to apologize.
He wanted to apologize and settle the matter. However, it would be too shameful to admit defeat like this. How would his subordinates look at him in the future? If Qin Weiwei stepped in, he could say that he was giving face to the Mountain Chieftain, and he would have a way out. At least it would be better than Miao Yi using force to intimidate him.
Hong Mian and Lu Liu also shook their heads. They had never heard of how Gongsun Yu and Miao Yi became enemies.
"That bastard is really despicable. He actually didn't come to see me when he returned. Could it be that he ignored my words?" Qin Weiwei slammed her hand on the long table. She had instructed Yan Xiu to come see her immediately if Miao Yi returned. Who would have thought that not only did he not come to see her, but he was also thinking about finding Gongsun Yu first. She turned around and said in a deep voice, "Send my decree. Tell Miao Yi to come see me immediately!"
As soon as the Mountain Chieftain's decree arrived at East Arrival Cave, Miao Yi, who was sitting high up on his throne, sneered at the crowd, "Looks like Gongsun Yu has complained to Qin Weiwei. Luo Shuangfei, here is your chance to resolve your official identity. "
Miao Yi thought Luo Shuangfei would be very happy to hear this, but who knew that Luo Shuangfei, who was standing below, would only reply with an 'Oh'. After that, he didn't say anything else, and stood there listlessly with his shoulders drooping.
Ever since Miao Yi had forcefully chased him out, Luo Shuangfei had lost his usual vigor. He sat listlessly all day and didn't call him out. He just stayed in his own manor and didn't come out.
Yan Xiu wanted to go to the city and find two handmaidens for him, but he didn't want it either.
A lively fellow had suddenly become like this, looking pitiful all day. Such a huge contrast made Miao Yi feel a little sorry for him. He even wondered if he had suppressed him too much...
Suppressing Second Hall. All the Manor Heads were gathered in the grand hall. Yang Qing was naturally among them. Today was a big day for the entire Suppressing Second Hall.
The Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade that happened once every three hundred years was at hand. Every Manor had to report two participants. Since Yang Qing was in charge of two Manors, he had to report four.
This was something that would offend many people. Even though those who contributed greatly to the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade would be heavily rewarded, the death rate was too high. However, the mortality rate was too high, and no one was willing to go. At the same time, it gave the Manor Heads a chance to eradicate those who disagreed with them.
After the meeting was over, the Manor Heads handed over their names to Little Auntie Liu Xing. Sitting high up on his throne, Huo Lingxiao waved his hand and dismissed the meeting, then left with his two handmaidens.
The Manor Heads then went to the waiting room to await the final instructions from the Manor Head. The final decision on the name list was still in Huo Lingxiao's hands. The Manor Heads couldn't help but feel a little nervous. If Huo Lingxiao were to put their names on the list, it would be disastrous.
Inside the harem, Huo Lingxiao read through the jade archives submitted by the Manor Heads one by one. Most of them didn't have any objections, and immediately gave his approval. The handmaidens beside him immediately noted down the names on the list, because these names would eventually be submitted to the higher-ups.
After receiving the name list submitted by Yang Qing, Huo Lingxiao noticed that Xiong Xiao's name was among the four names. He furrowed his brows and was about to cross off Xiong Xiao's name, but when he placed his finger on the jade archive, he paused for a moment. In the end, he crossed off another name and added another.
This name wasn't anyone else's, but Miao Yi's!
He then handed it over to Liu Xing to tabulate. When Liu Xing saw Miao Yi's name, she was slightly taken aback. She glanced at Huo Lingxiao, knowing that he must have his reasons for doing so.
After confirming the names of the entire Suppressing Second Hall, Liu Xing took a pile of jade archives and went to the waiting room. She then forwarded the Hall Master's instructions to the Manor Heads.
After reading through the list, most of the Manor Heads heaved a sigh of relief. The Hall Master didn't make things difficult for them.
Only Yang Qing was shocked when he saw the name list. He had reported four names, and all of them were Blue Lotus cultivators. He thought that the Hall Master would cross off Xiong Xiao's name, but who would've thought that the Hall Master would give him face and add Miao Yi's name instead. He couldn't figure out what was going on no matter how hard he tried.
After the Manor Heads dispersed and returned to their respective places, Yang Qing went to the entrance of the harem and requested an audience with Huo Lingxiao.
Huo Lingxiao didn't see him, so Tian Yu stopped him and said, "The Hall Master knows what you are here for. The Hall Master has already said that you just need to follow his orders."
Yang Qing was stunned. He cupped his fists and asked, "Miao Yi is only a White Lotus cultivator. May I ask why the Hall Master has included him in the list?"
He only wanted an explanation and a reason. Unexpectedly, Tian Yu calmly said, "No one said that White Lotus cultivators can't participate. Manor Head Yang, please leave!"
After sending Yang Qing away, Tian Yu actually wanted to know the reason as well. When she turned around and saw Huo Lingxiao, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did the Hall Master add Miao Yi's name?"
