Tian Yu and Liu Xing exchanged glances, their eyes filled with doubt. As far as they knew, Miao Yi didn't seem to know anything. He didn't seem to know that his sworn brother was the Hall Master, and he had never troubled the Hall Master either. Why would he send Miao Yi to his death in the Sea of Constellations?
Huo Lingxiao knew what the two of them were thinking, but there were some things that he would not tell even the people closest to him. These extremely private things were related to his reputation.
Before this, he had never thought about how to deal with Miao Yi. To put it bluntly, the gap between him and Miao Yi was simply too wide. Miao Yi was not a threat to him at all, and was not worth his time. Otherwise, Miao Yi would have died countless times over.
When he saw the name list that Xiong Xiao had just submitted, he thought of Miao Yi because of Xiong Xiao's name, and then recalled that night in the capital city. Even though he didn't think that Miao Yi would have the chance to meet Xiao Xiao again and find out her true identity, he thought that just in case, he might as well get rid of this hidden danger.
For the big shots, the life and death of a nobody was just a matter of a thought. It was not worth making a fuss about. This time, it was just a matter of convenience …
Mount Calming Sea. Accompanied by Yuan Fang and Luo Shuangfei, Miao Yi rushed all the way here.
Luo Shuangfei still had a listless look on his face. Along the way, he hadn't taken the initiative to speak at all. Only when Miao Yi asked him a question would he take the initiative to reply. Even then, his reply wouldn't exceed two words. Miao Yi was not used to Luo Shuangfei behaving like this.
It was precisely because of this that Miao Yi, who was prepared to bring Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan along with him, suddenly switched with Luo Shuangfei. He originally thought that Luo Shuangfei, who loved bustles, would be happy to hear that they were going out for a walk. Who would have thought that he would still be the same, like a wilted morning glory.
It can't be that you need me to invite you back to my mansion for you to come back to life, right? As he walked up the steps, Miao Yi turned his head around to take a look. When he turned back again, he saw Hong Mian standing at the entrance, sizing him up with a smile. He cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Elder Auntie."
Hong Mian turned around and led him in. Then, she asked intimately, "Did anything happen along the way?"
"Thank you for your concern. Everything is normal."
"Don't blame me for not warning you. The Mountain Chieftain is very angry …"
The two of them entered the courtyard and ascended the loft, where they saw Qin Weiwei, who was still dressed in her usual white dress, standing before the window and looking outside. With her back facing Hong Mian and Lu Liu, she said, "The two of you may withdraw for now."
Miao Yi turned his head to his left and right to look at the two girls leaving with smiles on their lips. His gaze then fell upon Qin Weiwei's graceful figure. Only a man and a woman were left in the loft, and the fragrance of a woman's body lingered in the air.
He had Hong Mian's reminder before this. Miao Yi thought Qin Weiwei would fly into a rage because of what happened to Gongsun Yu. Unexpectedly, Qin Weiwei turned around and looked at him. Her usually stern and beautiful face revealed a rare smile as she asked, "Are you saying that if I don't issue an official decree, you won't come see me?"
"Uh …" Miao Yi was taken aback. Is this stern-faced beauty smiling at me? I don't understand what you mean. I've already touched your lover's head, and you can still laugh?
He had always maintained vigilance towards Qin Weiwei. He muttered in his heart, but on the surface, he politely said, "Your subordinate pays his respects to the Mountain Chieftain."
Qin Weiwei walked up to him and said, "Are you not treating me as a friend? I told you to call me by my name in private."
The two of them were only a step away from each other, facing each other. Miao Yi raised his head, and their gazes met. Suddenly, they were both stunned. It was as if they had just realized that they were a little too close to each other.
Miao Yi could clearly smell the fragrance on Qin Weiwei's body. He could even faintly feel her body temperature, and subconsciously took a step back.
He couldn't casually say Qin Weiwei's name. It was too awkward. Even though he remembered the last time they clapped hands and became friends, he was still muttering in his heart, 'How can a superior and subordinate be friends?'
Qin Weiwei was a little nervous when she suddenly realized that they were too close to each other. However, when she saw him take the initiative to take a step back, he seemed to be a little afraid of her. Since she had the upper hand in her mentality, she became more at ease. She extended her hand and said, "Sit!"
Miao Yi accepted the order and sat down. Unexpectedly, Qin Weiwei took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea. She pushed it towards him and said, "Please have a drink."
"..." Miao Yi was a little overwhelmed by the favor. It could even be said that he was terrified. He began to feel that this woman's methods were unfathomable, and quickly stood up to thank her.
Qin Weiwei sat down, and sat next to him, separated by a tea table. She secretly gritted her teeth, and tried her best to put on a reassuring smile. "Miao Yi, I hope that we can become good friends who will tell me everything they know. But I can see that you seem to have a grudge against me."
"I wouldn't dare." Miao Yi laughed dryly, but his heart trembled. 'Tell me everything? Are you trying to trick me? '
"The word 'wouldn't dare' means that you don't see me as a friend." Qin Weiwei, who had the upper hand in her mentality, became more and more at ease.
"No, it is my honor to be friends with Mountain Chieftain."
"You're calling me Mountain Chieftain again?" Qin Weiwei pretended to be unhappy.
When she glared at him with feigned anger in her bright eyes, he laughed dryly, and forced himself to say, "Qin … Weiwei."
As soon as he said the name, a strange expression flashed across Qin Weiwei's face. She extended her hand and invited him to have some tea.
Miao Yi began to curse in his heart, 'Damn it, I'm a grown man. Why should I be afraid of a woman like her? When have I ever been afraid of her? There are only the two of us here. If we were to fight, I wouldn't be afraid of her at all. Why are you so nervous?'
He immediately relaxed himself, and prepared to deal with the situation as it came. He pretended to be relaxed as he leaned back on the chair, and picked up his teacup to take a sip. Crossing his legs, he asked, "Qin Weiwei. What business do you have with me?"
Qin Weiwei was taken aback. She was also a little unaccustomed to his sudden behavior. "Are we friends?"
Miao Yi thought to himself, 'The initiative in this matter is entirely in your hands. Who asked you to be one rank higher than me? If you say yes, then yes. If you say no, then no.'
He turned around and smiled. "Last time, we clapped hands and agreed to be friends. You aren't thinking of going back on your word, are you?"
Qin Weiwei retorted, "Since we are friends, can't I look for you for no reason?"
'This woman is too hypocritical. She obviously called me over because of Gongsun Yu's matter, and yet she says it's for no reason!' Miao Yi criticized her in his heart. On the surface, he was cheerful as he said, "Since we are friends, you don't have to use your status as a Mountain Chieftain to force me to come here. Why do I always have to run errands here? Can't you just come to my place on your own accord?"
On the other hand, Qin Weiwei was very serious as she reflected on her words. She realized that he wasn't wrong. She seemed to have put herself on too high of a pedestal. Friends shouldn't be like this. The way she put herself was not befitting of a friend at all. She was clearly using her status as a superior to suppress others. Thus, she nodded her head seriously and said, "Alright. I will remember your words. In the future, I will look for you on my own accord."
"Ugh …" Miao Yi was shocked. He thought to himself, 'This is bad. This woman has become so powerful now. Even with all his precautions, he still accidentally fell into her trap. Isn't this the same as inviting her to East Arrival Cave to cause trouble?'
Miao Yi wanted to slap himself. He had never seen such a foolish person before.
Changing the topic, he tried asking, "Mountain … Qin Weiwei. Do you really not have any other business with me?"
She originally didn't want other matters to get involved so quickly, but since he had asked, Qin Weiwei furrowed her brows and asked, "Why did you go against Gongsun Yu?"
I knew it was because of Gongsun Yu. Stop pretending … Miao Yi laughed and said, "That pretty boy is really despicable …"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he remembered the relationship between Gongsun Yu and Qin Weiwei. Wasn't a pretty boy synonymous with seducing women? Calling Gongsun Yu a pretty boy in front of Qin Weiwei would be insulting her. He hurriedly explained, "Mountain Chieftain, I didn't mean anything by it. I just saw that Gongsun Yu has a fair complexion and is quite good looking."
There was no need for him to explain. How could Qin Weiwei not know what he was referring to? She couldn't help but grit her teeth. How could she not know about the relationship between her and Gongsun Yu between the two Manors? Even Yang Qing had asked her about it. It was just that she wouldn't try to defend herself over such a matter, because she believed that the innocent would naturally remain innocent. There was no need for it. However, Gongsun Yu was intentionally being vague and seemed to tacitly approve of such remarks. It made it seem as though there was really something going on between the two of them.
Today, she felt that it was very necessary to explain this matter clearly and clearly.
Dressed in white, her ample bosom heaved up and down. She took a deep breath and said, "Miao Yi, I can responsibly tell you that Gongsun Yu and I do not have that kind of relationship that others are talking about. Those are all rumors."
"Yes, yes, yes. They must be rumors." Miao Yi immediately nodded in affirmation.
Qin Weiwei was no fool. How could she not see that he was trying to flatter her? Gritting her teeth, she said, "There is absolutely no romantic relationship between Gongsun Yu and I. There is nothing going on between us. There is nothing going on between us."
Miao Yi didn't even think about it. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Mountain Chieftain is not that kind of person. Those are all rumors. I have never believed in such nonsense. I have often refuted such statements on behalf of Mountain Chieftain."
His attitude of going along with her words without any consideration almost made Qin Weiwei so angry that she slammed the table and stood up. Her voluptuous chest heaved up and down a few times. She gritted her teeth and said, "What do I have to do for you to believe that there is nothing between us?"
'Is there a need to explain it to me?' Miao Yi said in astonishment, "I believe you."
"You …" Qin Weiwei suddenly pointed at his nose and said through gritted teeth, "You don't believe me at all."
'Why are you still asking when you already know?' With a serious expression, Miao Yi said, "I truly believe you."
He felt that there was no need to continue on this topic. He was here to do business today, not to quarrel. If he continued on, this woman would probably fly into a rage out of humiliation. He didn't want to ruin his plans. He quickly put on a smile and changed the topic, "Mountain Chieftain. It's not that I have anything against Gongsun Yu. It's just that he has gone too far."
From calling her Mountain Chieftain in the beginning, to calling her Qin Weiwei, and now, naturally, to calling her Mountain Chieftain. It was clear how deep this bastard's prejudice against Qin Weiwei was.
Qin Weiwei didn't want to change the topic at all. She felt that she had to make things clear today. With a frosty expression, she said, "What do I have to do for you to believe that there is nothing between us?"
'This woman is going all out. Is there no end to this? You're the one who forced my hand!' Miao Yi coughed, and said in a serious tone, "It's not difficult to shut everyone's mouths. Your subordinate is willing to serve Mountain Chieftain. Since that bastard Gongsun Yu is not a good person, I will help you kill him later. This matter will then be settled once and for all. Your subordinate can guarantee that it will be done cleanly."
"..." Qin Weiwei was stunned. She quickly waved her hand and said, "No. You can't do that."
