A group of people had gathered around Mount Calming Sea, causing Hong Mian, who was guarding the residence, to be unable to eat or sleep in peace. In the end, she brought the guards of Mount Calming Sea out of the mountain and questioned them face to face, "Are you all planning to attack Mount Calming Sea?"
Tu Sanliang and the rest looked at each other, but no one said a word. They saw Miao Yi and Luo Shuangfei, who had escaped from East Arrival Cave, standing right beside Hong Mian, but who would dare to make a move now!?
The key point was that even after he made a move, he couldn't find anyone to claim the reward. Xiong Xiao's figure was nowhere to be found. Now, he couldn't leave, but he couldn't stay either. He even felt like crying. What the hell was Mountain Chieftain Xiong Xiao up to? Such a serious matter couldn't be joked about!
"Elder Auntie, allow me to inquire about it." A Sword Deviate Sect disciple who was currently at Mount Calming Sea asked Hong Mian for permission.
After receiving Hong Mian's nod, the man immediately rode his dragon steed over to Tu Sanliang. He frowned and said, "Senior Brother Tu, have you all gone mad? Don't you know who the person overseeing Mount Calming Sea is? How dare you act so rashly here?"
Tu Sanliang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He told her about his difficulties.
Xiong Xiao actually disappeared? That person was a little puzzled when he heard that, but he still tried to persuade them, "What's so difficult about that? Of course you should return to where you came from. Why didn't you return to Mount Shaotai to wait for Xiong Xiao? Why are you waiting for him at Mount Calming Sea? Don't tell me you really want to alarm the people from the two manors to surround and annihilate us? "
Tu Sanliang thought about it and agreed. After discussing it with Lan Ye and the others, they temporarily disregarded Xiong Xiao's orders and led two mountains' worth of troops back to Mount Shaotai.
"Xiong Xiao is missing?" Hong Mian had a puzzled look on her face when she received the report.
Even Miao Yi, who was at the side, found it strange. He didn't know what Xiong Xiao was trying to do.
Half a day later, Qin Weiwei had also rushed back from South Edict Manor with a few people in tow. Seeing that Miao Yi was unharmed, she heaved a sigh of relief. When Hong Mian once again sent a message to South Edict Manor, she was on her way, so she didn't know about it.
At this moment, he naturally called Miao Yi over to ask about the situation. At the same time, he also informed Miao Yi that the Manor Head had already reinstated him as the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave.
"Then what about Yan Xiu?" Miao Yi was stunned.
Qin Weiwei said solemnly, "East Arrival Cave has lost so many men. Do you want me to reward him? "
Yan Xiu had been by Miao Yi's side for many years. Not only had he contributed greatly, but he had also worked hard for Miao Yi. He was completely loyal to Miao Yi. This was especially true for the Mountain Chieftain who had been Miao Yi's scapegoat all these years. If he were to absolve himself of this responsibility just like that, it would be unjustifiable. Even though everyone knew that the true Cave Master of East Arrival Cave was Miao Yi. However, Miao Yi still wanted to fight for Yan Xiu, so he turned to Hong Mian and Lu Liu and smiled sheepishly, "Elder Auntie, Little Auntie. I have something to report to the Mountain Chieftain alone."
What right did he have to ask them to leave? The two of them looked at Qin Weiwei, who nodded. Only then did the two of them walk down the loft with pursed lips.
At this moment, Miao Yi finally stood up and moved closer to Qin Weiwei, saying affectionately, "About that, Weiwei. Aren't we friends? "
These words caused goosebumps to rise all over Qin Weiwei's body. However, the way he called her 'Weiwei' made her feel comfortable. She nodded and said, "Of course we're friends."
"Since we're friends, then can I ask you for a favor in private?" Miao Yi chuckled.
Qin Weiwei was a little annoyed. What kind of person was this? When he had something to ask of her, he treated her as a friend. But when he had nothing to do, he wanted to hide far away from her. She gritted her teeth and asked, "What is it?"
"It's about Yan Xiu." Miao Yi said seriously, "I feel that Yan Xiu is more suitable to be the Cave Master of Long Viridescent Cave than Gongsun Yu. You really should consider it."
Putting aside the matter of Long Viridescent Cave, Qin Weiwei had almost forgotten about this matter because of the ambush on East Arrival Cave. Her expression turned cold, "Miao Yi. I sent Hong Mian to mediate, but you went on a killing spree in Long Viridescent Cave. Do you still have any respect for me? "
"Weiwei, you've really wronged me. I had no other choice. Gongsun Yu insisted on having me spar with him. When he saw that I didn't bring enough men, he decided to fight eight against one. If he thinks my men are easy to bully, then he's really trying to kill them. My men were also forced to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth. "
Qin Weiwei turned around and stood face to face with him. She sneered, "Miao Yi. Do you think I'm an idiot? I've already seen Hong Mian's report at South Edict Manor. It's obvious that you've set a trap for Gongsun Yu."
"Weiwei, Hong Mian only knows the surface, but not the inside story! She doesn't know how deeply in love Gongsun Yu is with you … "
"What nonsense are you talking about? What deeply in love?" Qin Weiwei gritted her teeth and interrupted him, "Miao Yi. I'll say it again. There's no secret relationship between us!"
"I understand. I understand everything." Miao Yi nodded repeatedly and said, "But that bastard Gongsun Yu probably misunderstood the relationship between you and me. The moment he saw me, he became extremely jealous. He couldn't be more obedient in front of Hong Mian, and took the initiative to provoke me behind Hong Mian's back. He even warned me to stay away from you. Don't you think I've been wronged? If you hadn't explained it to me beforehand, it would be hard for me not to misunderstand the relationship between the two of you. I was forced to agree to spar with him because I had no other choice. "
Hearing this, Qin Weiwei's full chest heaved up and down. Her breathing quickened and her expression turned ugly. She believed Miao Yi's words because based on her understanding of Gongsun Yu, it was possible that he would do such a thing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to provoke Yan Xiu during the handover of the Mount Calming Sea's annual tribute.
Miao Yi didn't care if there was a secret relationship between her and Gongsun Yu. He only wanted Qin Weiwei to understand, 'Didn't you say that there was no secret relationship between you and Gongsun Yu? If you help Gongsun Yu, it proves that there is a secret relationship between the two of you … At the end of the day, Miao Yi only wanted to protect himself. '
"Weiwei, I really think that Yan Xiu is more suitable to be the Cave Master of Long Viridescent Cave than Gongsun Yu." Miao Yi added.
Qin Weiwei shifted her gaze and came to a realization. Regardless of whether Gongsun Yu had truly said those words, at least this guy before her wanted to remove Gongsun Yu from his position and replace him with his own men.
"You don't have to think too much about Gongsun Yu. Do you know that your massacre at Long Viridescent Cave has already angered the Manor Head? He wanted to remove your Immortal Record on the spot. If it weren't for me pleading on your behalf, you would already be a Loose Cultivator by now," said Qin Weiwei.
"Uhh …" Miao Yi was a little speechless. He couldn't lose his Immortal Record. If he didn't have this layer of tiger skin, he was afraid that all the treasures he had would immediately be robbed and killed. With his strength, he wouldn't be able to keep them even if he wanted to. He reckoned that he wouldn't even be able to walk out of Mount Calming Sea before he was killed.
He immediately changed the topic and asked cautiously, "Then did the Manor Head agree to let Luo Shuangfei join the Immortal Record?"
Qin Weiwei replied expressionlessly, "The Manor Head didn't agree. I had to use my personal connections and put in a lot of effort to get the Manor Head's approval."
Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to ask for more. He could only put up with Yan Xiu's side for now. However, there was still a problem that needed to be solved. "My East Arrival Cave has no one to use now, and Xiong Xiao is eyeing it covetously. What do you think …"
Qin Weiwei calmly said, "You still have two subordinates. I will think of a way to squeeze out another eight people from Mount Calming Sea to give you a total of ten subordinates … This friend of mine is very kind to you, isn't he?" This seemed to be going against Yang Qing's words of not giving Miao Yi even a single soldier.
Only eight? Miao Yi's expression froze. He cautiously asked, "May I know the cultivation of the eight people I'm giving them to?"
Qin Weiwei's expression remained indifferent as she replied, "Naturally, they will be allocated according to the standard Immortal's Cave."
Miao Yi's expression twitched as he said, "Weiwei, you also know the situation of East Arrival Cave. East Arrival Cave's location isn't good, and it has been repeatedly massacred. I don't want to look for trouble, but trouble comes to me on its own accord. For example, Ever Peace Manor and Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor. I have no grudges against them, but once something happens, they will come to my East Arrival Cave first. Therefore, the standard Immortal's Cave allocation will not be able to handle it."
Qin Weiwei sighed, "It's not like you don't know the situation of Mount Calming Sea. Where would they find so many experts for you?"
Miao Yi explained, "What I mean is, I want to replenish the manpower I lost. Why don't I recruit another twenty people from the School of Blue Jade? Can you help me negotiate with the Manor Head?"
Qin Weiwei had already guessed this guy's intentions. She sighed again and said, "When the Manor Head removed your Immortal Records, I spent a lot of effort to help you. When the Manor Head took a step back and wanted to transfer you to South Edict Manor to be left idle, I was the one who helped you, and even helped you fight for the position of Cave Master. The Manor Head did not allow Loose Cultivators to join the two Manors, and I was the one who pleaded with the Manor Head using my status as his daughter. Now that you want to recruit so many people from the School of Blue Jade, I don't know how much effort I will have to put in to beg the Manor Head later. Miao Yi, don't you think you're asking for too much? "
Miao Yi was a little embarrassed by her words, and weakly said, "Weiwei, aren't we friends? Friends should help each other." Even he felt guilty when he said these words. He felt that he was a little too despicable.
Qin Weiwei was silent for a while, then resolutely said, "Fine! I can help you, but how are you going to thank me? "
Miao Yi was about to brush her off, but Qin Weiwei unexpectedly added, "I don't listen to half-hearted words."
Miao Yi was speechless, and could only try asking, "What kind of thanks do you want?"
Qin Weiwei turned around and walked to the back of the long table, then sat down. She placed both her hands on the table, and stared at him as she said, "Didn't you say you would devote your life to me last time?"
Miao Yi chuckled and said, "That was just a joke."
Qin Weiwei shook her head and said, "But I took it seriously."
"Uhh …" Miao Yi was dumbfounded for a while, then laughed dryly and said, "Can you not make fun of me? I know my limits. How could you possibly like me …"
"I'm not joking." Qin Weiwei said with a serious expression, "Didn't you say that friends should help each other? I have something I want you to help me with right now. "
Like I said, how could you possibly like me? But what kind of matter is it that involves dedicating your life to me? Miao Yi was bewildered and asked, "What is it?"
Qin Weiwei said with a solemn expression, "You also know that the rumors between Gongsun Yu and I are everywhere. When I returned to South Edict Manor this time, I was reprimanded by the Manor Head because of this matter. I also don't want this kind of senseless rumor to continue. The best way is to end my single status. When that happens, the rumors will fall apart on their own. So I want you to propose to the Manor Head, and say that you want to marry me. "
"Ah …" Miao Yi's body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground in fright. He was really frightened. His back was drenched in sweat as he said, "Don't scare me."
Qin Weiwei calmly said, "Don't worry. I'm not really asking you to devote your life to me. I'm just asking you to bear the burden of a false reputation."
