Since he had already decided to defect, since he had already decided to fall out with Yang Qing, then there was no need for him, Xiong Xiao, to endure under Yang Qing's pressure.
He now had a Blue Lotus First Grade cultivation, and had three Blue Lotus First Grade cultivators as his subordinates. He commanded the forces of twenty Caves, and had long since possessed the ability to easily flatten East Arrival Cave. Killing Miao Yi for revenge was not a problem at all. If it weren't for his misgivings about Yang Qing, he would have done so long ago.
It was precisely because he was wary of Yang Qing and knew that Yang Qing was already dissatisfied with him that he had been keeping a low profile all these years. Most of his time was spent on cultivation, taking advantage of the fact that he had enough Orbs of Will from the two Mountains to raise his own cultivation in case of any mishaps.
All these years, Xiong Xiao and Miao Yi could be said to have coexisted peacefully. Xiong Xiao was wary of Yang Qing and didn't dare to touch Miao Yi. On the other hand, Miao Yi was wary of the strength Xiong Xiao had in his hands. He knew that he couldn't defeat Xiong Xiao if they fought at the moment, so both sides had been patient. In exchange, the two of them had lived in peace for more than ten years.
Who would have thought that Yang Qing would secretly put his name on the name list for the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade? In the past, the cultivators who had participated in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade had all narrowly escaped with their lives. Those who managed to return alive were definitely the cream of the crop. The Celestial Nation was vast, and there were many talented individuals. Xiong Xiao had to admit that he was no cream of the crop and could not compare to those cream of the crop. Once he entered the Sea of Constellations, he basically had no chance of returning alive.
Xiong Xiao was filled with resentment. He had already swallowed his anger and kept a low profile, but who would have thought that Yang Qing would not give him the chance to slowly raise his cultivation level, and had secretly set him up.
Now that he was on the verge of defecting, he didn't mind using the authority in his hands one last time to eliminate Miao Yi. He even wanted to send his troops to Mount Calming Sea and get rid of Qin Weiwei as well to teach Yang Qing a lesson!
However, he knew that it was unrealistic to kill Qin Weiwei. It wasn't that he didn't have the strength to kill Qin Weiwei; he absolutely had the strength to do so.
However, his subordinates would not do the same. Even if he did not tell them the plan of action now and gave the order when they reached Mount Calming Sea, it was likely that no one would listen to him and attack Qin Weiwei. Qin Weiwei was backed by Yang Qing. Xiong Xiao had no choice but to give up on this plan.
Because he wasn't sure if he could persuade his subordinates to defect with him. Many of his subordinates had the benefits of two caves. Where else could they find such a good deal after defecting? In the face of practical benefits, if it were him, Xiong Xiao would not be willing to do this. It was just that he was forced into a corner and did not have the slightest confidence in persuading his subordinates to go with him.
Getting rid of Miao Yi would be no problem. Everyone knew about the grudge between him and Miao Yi, so it was normal for them to fight each other.
After sending out the decree to all the cave residences, Xiong Xiao immediately gathered his troops. They set out with a rumble, gathering troops along the way. They didn't reveal that they were going to attack East Arrival Cave.
This time, he didn't leave his personal handmaidens behind. Xia He and Qiu Yu were also brought along by his side. Now that the two handmaidens had gone through more than ten years of training, they already possessed a cultivation base at White Lotus First Grade. It wasn't easy for him to nurture them again, so naturally, he would bring them along as well …
Long Viridescent Cave. After receiving the news from Mount Calming Sea, Gongsun Yu heaved a sigh of relief. With the Mountain Chieftain stepping forward to mediate and even sending Hong Mian over, there shouldn't be any major problems.
However, the thought of meeting that lunatic, Miao Yi, still made him feel a little nervous.
After calculating the time, Gongsun Yu brought his men ahead of time to welcome them at the mountain gate.
After waiting for more than two hours, the sky was already turning dark. In the distance, the six riders led by Hong Mian finally appeared in their line of sight.
The six riders galloped over and stopped outside the mountain gate. The six of them dismounted their dragon steeds, and Gongsun Yu stepped forward to pay his respects. "Greetings, Elder Auntie."
"Cave Master Gongsun." Hong Mian smiled in response. When she turned around, she found that Gongsun Yu and Miao Yi's gazes had already met.
Miao Yi looked at Gongsun Yu with a smile.
Gongsun Yu appeared rather awkward. He still took the initiative to step forward and greet Miao Yi, the Steed Deputy, with the dignity of a Cave Master. "Welcome, Brother Miao. We meet again."
"Well said." Miao Yi smiled and cupped his fists. "I've sent out invitations to Cave Master Gongsun twice, but Cave Master Gongsun didn't give me any face. I thought Cave Master Gongsun had forgotten about me. Or is it because I've been demoted to a Steed Deputy, so Cave Master Gongsun doesn't take notice of me? "
"The friendship between me and Brother Miao is not something that can be influenced by one's status. You and I once risked our lives and fought side by side. How could I forget such a friendship? It's just that I was too busy with official business and couldn't leave at the moment. Today, I, Rong Yu, will show my hospitality and apologize to Brother Miao. "Gongsun Yu turned around and waved his hand." Elder Auntie, Brother Miao, please come inside! "
In front of his subordinates, he spoke beautifully. He didn't mention that he had no choice but to apologize because he had offended East Arrival Cave and was forced to his doorstep. Instead, he secretly changed it to apologize to Miao Yi because he wasn't invited to the banquet.
Beside him, Yuan Fang was secretly amused. 'Wasn't he so arrogant back at Mount Calming Sea? He was full of confidence when facing Yan Xiu, but as soon as Miao Yi appeared, he immediately softened. As expected, evil people needed to be tempered by evil people. '
Miao Yi shot a glance at Hong Mian, who was staring at him. He couldn't not give Hong Mian face in front of her. Otherwise, he would expose Gongsun Yu's hypocrisy on the spot and embarrass him.
He then followed her and walked under the Long Viridescent Cave's memorial arch.
As soon as the group entered the Cave Master's residence, the two attendants that Hong Mian brought along and Miao Yi's two subordinates were invited to another place to receive their guests. Due to their status, it wasn't appropriate for them to sit at the same table as the host. Meanwhile, Hong Mian and Miao Yi were personally welcomed by Gongsun Yu at the Cave Master's residence.
As soon as they arrived, the dishes and wine were already prepared. Gongsun Yu warmly invited the two of them to sit down, and his two personal handmaidens quickly poured wine for the three of them.
Hong Mian glanced at Gongsun Yu's two beautiful handmaidens, whose faces were glowing from being nourished, and lightly shook her head.
She and Gongsun Yu were old acquaintances. Before Gongsun Yu became a Cave Master, he didn't have the right to choose handmaidens who had the aptitude to cultivate. The handmaidens by his side had also changed a few times. Those who were slightly older and less attractive would be sent to places like the Manor of Merciful Hope, and then replaced with younger and more beautiful ones.
Of course, she knew that Gongsun Yu was pursuing Qin Weiwei. Compared to the other cultivators from the two manors, Gongsun Yu was considered good in both appearance and loyalty. What's more, he was Yang Qing's trusted aide. Yang Qing originally had the intention of matchmaking them. In his opinion, Gongsun Yu's act of switching handmaidens was very normal.
But that was from a man's point of view. Hong Mian sighed inwardly, 'Why doesn't Gongsun Yu think from Qin Weiwei's point of view as a woman? Gongsun Yu's status is inferior to Qin Weiwei's, and his strength is only so-so. Not only can he enjoy his personal handmaidens, he even wants to dual cultivate with Qin Weiwei and enjoy the pleasures of the bed with her, placing Qin Weiwei on the same level as the other handmaidens. How can Qin Weiwei endure this?'
Hong Mian, Lu Liu, and Qin Weiwei had conversed quite a bit in private, so they more or less knew what Qin Weiwei was thinking. This was how the world was. Qin Weiwei didn't expect any man to keep his chastity for her for the rest of his life. At the very least, whoever Qin Weiwei married, her two personal handmaidens would sooner or later become servants to accompany her. Qin Weiwei wasn't so selfish that Hong Mian and Lu Liu wouldn't know what it was like to be a man for the rest of their lives.
However, Qin Weiwei only wanted her first impression to be the strongest, so that the other party would restrain himself a little and not be too fickle. Was it not enough for a man to have a few women to accompany him? Qin Weiwei didn't think that her expectations were too high.
If Gongsun Yu didn't have the bad habits that Qin Weiwei hated, Hong Mian reckoned that Qin Weiwei might have already gotten together with Gongsun Yu, and she might have even become his concubine. Unfortunately, they weren't fated to be together!
Hong Mian looked at Miao Yi again, and realized that this guy was quite a good person. He was loyal and loyal, and had never been a playboy when it came to women. When it came to men and women, he could be considered a rare character in the cultivation realm. If Qin Weiwei really did marry him one day, it wouldn't be considered an injustice even if she became his concubine.
Little did she know that she had overestimated Miao Yi. If she knew that Miao Yi had wanted to take in Qian'Er and Xue'Er, but his plans were ruined by Luo Shuangfei, who knew what she would think.
After the two handmaidens poured the wine, they stood to the side. Gongsun Yu raised his wine cup, and said with a face full of smiles, "Elder Auntie and Brother Miao have come from afar. Let me first offer a toast to both of you."
Miao Yi truly didn't come here to drink and chat with him. He came here to denounce him. He didn't want to just hold his wine cup and sit there indifferently.
Gongsun Yu was slightly embarrassed as he held his wine cup. Beside him, Hong Mian immediately kicked Miao Yi's ankle under the table, and glared at him. Miao Yi had no choice but to reluctantly raise his wine cup and accompany her in drinking a cup.
Miao Yi's expression was clear, and there were no outsiders here. Hong Mian shot a glance at Gongsun Yu, reminding him that this guy beside her probably had a limit to his patience. It was best to do what needed to be done as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this guy took the initiative to make things difficult for them, it would be embarrassing for everyone. She didn't want to let down the Mountain Chieftain's good intentions.
Gongsun Yu understood. He filled his cup with wine, and raised it with both hands, "Brother Miao. Previously, I have offended East Arrival Cave in many ways in Mount Calming Sea. It was all my fault. I sincerely apologize to Brother Miao. I hope that Brother Miao can be magnanimous and not stoop to my level."
Miao Yi looked to his left and right. 'Damn it. There's not a single outsider here. Is it enough to hide here and apologize in private? Shouldn't you at least apologize in public? Otherwise, who would know that you apologized to me? You, Gongsun Yu, are shameless, but my East Arrival Cave isn't? Just you wait and see!
Raising his brows, he was about to flare up and teach Gongsun Yu a lesson when Hong Mian realized something was amiss and promptly interrupted, "Miao Yi. Everyone is working for the Mountain Chieftain. Even though Cave Master Gongsun has done something wrong, East Arrival Cave did not lose anything. Now that Cave Master Gongsun has sincerely apologized, please do not make things difficult for the Mountain Chieftain."
In the first place, she was sent by Qin Weiwei to mediate this matter. Naturally, she would not allow the matter to escalate and would do her best to calm it down.
The corner of Miao Yi's mouth twitched. Hong Mian had brought up Qin Weiwei, so it wouldn't be good for him to not give Qin Weiwei face in public. If he really made Qin Weiwei lose all her face, not only would he not be talking about Qin Weiwei, he would also be slapping Yang Qing's face. Yang Qing would definitely teach him a lesson.
With Hong Mian sitting here, it wouldn't be good for him to cause trouble. He could only raise his wine cup and calmly say, "I can feel Cave Master Gongsun's sincerity in apologizing. There's no point in bringing up this matter any further. Let's just leave it at that."
Hong Mian immediately clapped her hands and laughed, "Awesome! That's why I'll drink this cup with you two. "
As the mediator, she took the initiative to raise her cup and stand up. Miao Yi and Gongsun Yu had no choice but to stand up as well. The three of them clinked their cups together and drank it down together.
After the three of them sat down, Hong Mian and Gongsun Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Miao Yi put down his wine cup and looked to his left and right, then said, "Cave Master Gongsun. This is my first time coming to Long Viridescent Cave. I have yet to experience the scenery of Long Viridescent Cave. When the sun rises tomorrow, I would like to take a look around. What do you think, Cave Master Gongsun?"
Hong Mian immediately shifted her gaze to Gongsun Yu, as though saying, 'The other party let you off so easily. Surely you wouldn't reject such a small matter, right?'
