Luo Shuangfei was indeed a little listless. Ever since he was chased out of the manor by Miao Yi, he had been listless.
However, in Gongsun Yu's eyes, it was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Miao Yi was purposely tricking him, and now he understood that he had been tricked.
"What exactly are you two doing?" Hong Mian's voice was cold.
He asked the two of them, but his gaze was focused on Miao Yi's face. Including Gongsun Yu, there were a total of eleven cultivators in Long Viridescent Cave's register. Miao Yi's subordinates had already killed eight of them in an instant. If he were to kill another two, Long Viridescent Cave would be left without an army.
Hong Mian, who knew the whole story, didn't even need to guess to know that it was Miao Yi who did it on purpose. Hong Mian was furious. Miao Yi dared to do such a thing even though she was in Long Viridescent Cave. He was simply looking down on her. Looking down on her was the same as looking down on Mountain Chieftain Qin Weiwei. She was here to mediate on behalf of Qin Weiwei.
Miao Yi laughed dryly and said, "Elder Auntie, we were sparring and making a bet. I said that I could randomly pick one of my subordinates, and that Cave Master Gongsun's subordinates wouldn't be able to defeat him even if they worked together. Cave Master Gongsun didn't believe me, so he bet two hundred low-grade Orbs of Will with me. The result was obvious. I won."
Hong Mian abruptly turned to stare at Gongsun Yu, "Cave Master Gongsun, is this true?"
"Miao Yi, you tricked me. Sparring is true, but I didn't ask you to kill anyone!" Gongsun Yu was enraged. His subordinates were almost all killed, and he was about to become a Cave Master without any followers.
Miao Yi's expression immediately changed. He coldly said, "Gongsun Yu. Don't treat others like fools. Who was the one who thought they could win by outnumbering you? Who was the one who said that there would always be accidents in a spar? You even used words to provoke me. Do you regret it now? "
"You …" Gongsun Yu was speechless.
Hong Mian looked at Gongsun Yu in disbelief. 'Didn't you ask the Mountain Chieftain to mediate because you were afraid of them? You even dared to provoke him?
Hong Mian didn't believe Miao Yi's nonsense. She immediately pointed at his two handmaidens and said in a deep voice, "You two, tell me everything that happened. If you hide anything from me, don't blame me for being rude!" She wouldn't listen to just one side of the story. She wanted to confront him face to face.
The two handmaidens panicked and turned to look at Gongsun Yu. Hong Mian immediately shot him a cold glance. "Cave Master Gongsun!"
Gongsun Yu could only nod silently, and the two maids immediately told him what had happened.
Naturally, the two of them were on Gongsun Yu's side. They wanted to avoid mentioning anything that was unfavorable to Gongsun Yu.
However, Miao Yi was standing right next to her. Naturally, he had to remind her at the right time. You guys seem to have missed out on something.
Hong Mian immediately asked, "Is that so?"
The two girls didn't dare to make a sound. They quietly glanced at Gongsun Yu. Hong Mian immediately shouted, "Yes or no? Answer me!"
In the end, he completely understood what had happened. Even Gongsun Yu realized that he was a little stupid. He broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained, "Elder Auntie, this is a trap that Miao Yi intentionally set up!"
Hong Mian was so angry that she laughed. 'What's the use of you understanding it now?! How could I not know that this was a trap set up by Miao Yi to deliberately stir up trouble? But if it weren't for your own selfish motives, how could you have fallen for it? With me here, Miao Yi clearly didn't dare to act recklessly, so he deliberately beat around the bush. You could have just endured it for a while, but you idiot actually thought that you could gain the upper hand by outnumbering him. If Miao Yi could let you win so easily, would you still need to ask the Mountain Chieftain to mediate? Not only did you take the initiative to fall into his trap, you even dared to provoke him and let him be the one in the right. Now it has become a spar between the two of you, and you even said beforehand that accidents are inevitable in a spar. Aren't you just offering yourself up to be slaughtered? You've already set the tone yourself. Why do you still need me to make the decision?
Luckily the Mountain Chieftain had the foresight to not accept a fool like you. Otherwise, wouldn't I have to follow suit and serve a fool like you? ' Hong Mian couldn't stop laughing coldly. She turned her head to the side and couldn't be bothered to speak anymore. Gongsun Yu was truly infuriating her.
"Cough cough!" Miao Yi coughed twice and took out a jade archive. "Cave Master Gongsun, I know you can't take out two hundred low-grade Orbs of Will at once. It's fine if you split it over ten years. But why don't you first sign a Commandment of Conformity?"
Yuan Fang held back her laughter. Only the Master would do something like this. If it were Yan Xiu, he wouldn't do it. She felt so good about venting her anger.
"Miao Yi, you tricked me on purpose!" Gongsun Yu, who was trembling in anger, said the same thing again. He knew he was in the wrong, and didn't know what else to say.
Miao Yi's expression darkened when he heard this. His eyes shone with an ominous glint as he said, "Cave Master Gongsun, you sure know how to make a good deal. If I had lost, nothing would have happened to you. But now that I have won, you want to renege on your debt. You're not at a disadvantage either way. Do you think I'm a pushover?"
Gongsun Yu's heart trembled when he saw the ominous glint in Miao Yi's eyes. He looked towards the two behind Miao Yi. Just one of Miao Yi's subordinates was enough to challenge his entire Long Viridescent Cave … Gongsun Yu's intestines were already green with regret. He didn't know what kind of medicine he had taken to provoke Yan Xiu.
"Elder Auntie!" Gongsun Yu looked at Hong Mian with a pleading expression. He saw the ominous glint in Miao Yi's eyes. He would be lying if he said he wasn't afraid now. Not all of East Arrival Cave's men had arrived. Only three had come. He wouldn't be able to handle any one of the three before him.
'You've already made the decision. Why are you still looking for me?' Hong Mian really wanted to leave. She was so angry, but Gongsun Yu was loyal to Qin Weiwei. He had risked his life to save Qin Weiwei before, and he was also Yang Qing's personal attendant. If Gongsun Yu were to sign this contract now, Long Viridescent Cave's ten years' worth of Orbs of Will would be given to Miao Yi. Who would be willing to serve Long Viridescent Cave then? Then Gongsun Yu could forget about being a Cave Master. He wouldn't be able to continue being one.
"Miao Yi. You've already killed so many of their men. If you continue to cause a ruckus, it will be too much!" Hong Mian warned.
Since Hong Mian had shown herself, it wouldn't be good for the matter to continue. Miao Yi slowly put away the jade archive in his hand. "For Elder Auntie's sake, and with her as a witness, it's fine even if I don't sign this Commandment of Conformity. I will remember those two hundred Orbs of Will for now."
Even though he wouldn't sign the Commandment of Conformity, he wouldn't say no to those two hundred Orbs of Will either. If Gongsun Yu were to misbehave one day, he would come back to collect his debt.
This guy … Hong Mian felt a headache coming on. She didn't know what to say about Gongsun Yu. 'You couldn't win against him when you played hard, and you couldn't win against him when you played dirty. Yet you still dared to cause trouble for East Arrival Cave on your own accord. Do you have nothing better to do?!'
After such an incident, it was obvious that Miao Yi wouldn't stay here any longer. Hong Mian wouldn't allow him to stay either, and Hong Mian herself had to rush back to report on the completion of the mission.
Before he left, Miao Yi, who was sitting on his dragon steed, formally said to Gongsun Yu, "Gongsun Yu. When I meet someone I'm no match for, I can only endure and avoid them. However, you're quite bold. You clearly know that you're no match for me, yet you still dare to bully my East Arrival Cave. This is just a small punishment as a warning. If there's a next time, I won't let you off so easily. Hmph!"
He then left Long Viridescent Cave together with Hong Mian.
On the main road, just as they were about to part ways, Hong Mian reminded him, "Miao Yi. You've killed so many of Long Viridescent Cave's men. Shouldn't you come with me to Mount Calming Sea to explain things to the Mountain Chieftain?"
"Elder Auntie. The facts are all there. There's no need for me to explain."
"The facts are all there?! In reality, you and I both know exactly what happened. "
"Elder Auntie. I've always respected the truth. If you want to make wild guesses, I can't do anything about it."
Even though Miao Yi was in the right, he still felt a little guilty. It was better not to go to Mount Calming Sea.
In the end, both parties parted ways at the fork in the road. Miao Yi cupped his fists to bid farewell. After watching the three steeds disappear into the distance, he turned around and smiled, "Luo Shuangfei. You did well this time. I'll remember your contribution."
"Oh!" Luo Shuangfei replied, then went silent again.
Yuan Fang also smiled, "Brother Luo is truly capable. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to withstand the methods of the three major sects. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Brother Luo is the number one expert of East Arrival Cave."
Luo Shuangfei thought to himself, 'If I were the number one expert of East Arrival Cave, then I wouldn't have appeared here.' He replied somewhat dejectedly, "I was defeated by Milord. I dare not claim to be the number one expert of East Arrival Cave."
"Uhh …." Yuan Fang looked at Miao Yi in shock. He didn't know how Miao Yi had subdued Luo Shuangfei, so he asked with a questioning gaze.
Miao Yi smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go back."
The three dragon steeds galloped off once again. Yuan Fang still had a look of doubt on his face. Based on the abilities Luo Shuangfei had displayed, it was obvious that he hadn't used his full strength. It was more than enough to kill those eight people. Even though his cultivation was a level higher than Luo Shuangfei's, he knew that it would be very difficult for him to defeat Luo Shuangfei. At the same time, he also knew that his strength was higher than Miao Yi's. How could Luo Shuangfei be defeated by Miao Yi? Could it be that Miao Yi still had some tricks up his sleeves?
In reality, that was indeed the case. Previously, when the eight people from the three major sects had joined forces, if it was Yuan Fang, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. However, in terms of strength, Yuan Fang's cultivation was clear for all to see. At most, Miao Yi could only rely on his body of transcendent artifacts to remain undefeated. It would be very difficult for him to defeat Yuan Fang. If he were to encounter a Blue Lotus expert, the most he could do was to retreat.
However, Yuan Fang's cultivation was useless against Luo Shuangfei. He might not even be able to break through the defense of Luo Shuangfei's armor artifact. Everything else aside, Luo Shuangfei only needed to release the Purple Marten to deal with Yuan Fang.
However, whether it was Luo Shuangfei's Black Rakshasa or the Purple Marten, they might be useful against others, but against Miao Yi, those crooked techniques were completely useless. He could only face them head-on. In a head-on clash, Yuan Fang's spear arts, which were already considered very advanced, were no match for Miao Yi's. In the end, he was defeated by Miao Yi.
Therefore, not only did Yuan Fang not understand, even Luo Shuangfei, who had excitedly led a group of Loose Cultivators to become bandits, only to be forced to surrender, was also very depressed.
In short, in East Arrival Cave, Yuan Fang's cultivation could suppress Miao Yi, while Luo Shuangfei's techniques could suppress Yuan Fang. However, Miao Yi's strength could suppress Luo Shuangfei. It was unknown whether it was a vicious cycle or a virtuous cycle...
That night, in East Arrival Cave. Yao Ruoxian was in a nearby cave, scribbling and drawing some sort of complicated pattern on the stone wall. Sometimes he would sketch something on the stone wall, and sometimes he would stroke his beard in deep thought. As he was deep in thought, his ears twitched slightly, and he abruptly turned his head to look outside the cave.
"Why is there so much going on in a tiny little East Arrival Cave?" Yao Ruoxian furrowed his brows. He turned around and with a flick of his large sleeve, he stored the little fellow that was still chewing on the white crystals on the stone couch. In a flash, he rushed out of the cave.
