Gongsun Yu was really unlucky. Whether it was those who were protecting him or those who were harming him, both of them used Gongsun Yu as an excuse.
Qin Weiwei gritted her teeth. This bastard would rather kill Gongsun Yu than propose marriage. How could she endure this?
Qin Weiwei shook her head and sighed, "It's not just about Gongsun Yu. Godfather has been forcing me to settle the marriage as soon as possible. But how can he force something like this, where both parties are willing, to happen?"
"That's right!" Miao Yi hurriedly nodded and said, "There's no point in forcing him. Just reject him directly and it'll be over."
"But I agreed this time."
"Uhh …" Miao Yi asked suspiciously, "Since you aren't willing, why did you agree?"
"Because if I didn't agree to your request, I wouldn't be able to help you solve so many problems in one go during this trip to South Edict Manor." Qin Weiwei said coldly and without any personal feelings, "For the sake of you, my friend, I've already done my best. Can't you help me just this once?"
"This …" Miao Yi was a little suspicious that this woman was just messing with him. But after thinking about it, he knew that a person like Qin Weiwei wouldn't joke around with her clean reputation. He suddenly didn't know what to say. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but how am I supposed to help you with something like this?!"
"It's very simple. You just need to find my adoptive father and propose marriage."
When he thought about the situation where he went to look for Yang Qing to ask for her hand in marriage, Miao Yi instantly felt as though he was sweating profusely. Wiping his forehead, he said with a bitter expression, "Qin … Wei … Wei. Is it appropriate for a mere Cave Master like me to go look for the Manor Head to ask for her hand in marriage? At that time, Manor Lord wouldn't kill me in a fit of anger, right? "
"It'll be fine. I'll go with you. I've already said that we're in love with each other. As long as you ask for my hand in marriage, I naturally have a way to make my foster father agree."
"Mutual affection?" Miao Yi's eyes widened. He was at a loss for words, and hesitantly asked, "Isn't that a little inappropriate?"
"Inappropriate? I agreed to Foster Father's marriage because of you. Everything started because of you, but you're not willing to help me? Could it be that because of you, I can find a random man to marry? "
"This … it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that this kind of thing … I'm a man and I don't really care. I'm afraid of tarnishing your reputation! Think about it, if you and I have this status, how are you going to get married in the future! "
"You don't have to worry about that. If I really meet the man I like, I'll be happy. I will explain the reason to him clearly. "
"Make it clear? Did he make it clear? Qin Weiwei, I'm really doing this for your own good. From a man's point of view, no matter how you explain things, the other party will still hold a grudge. "
"Do you think that no one would be willing to marry me, the daughter of the Manor Head of South Edict Manor?"
"No, no. You have power, influence, status, and you're also beautiful. There are a lot of people who want to marry you … "Miao Yi scratched his face. He didn't know what else to say. How could such a thing happen to him? He had a faint suspicion that this woman was trying to scam him. However, it seemed like a woman didn't need to use her reputation to scam others. In the end, he weakly said," Actually, you can find someone else to try. I think … Gongsun Yu is actually a good choice. He will definitely be more than happy to help … "
Bang! Qin Weiwei slammed the table and stood up. Miao Yi was startled by her frosty expression.
"Scram!" Qin Weiwei waved her hand and pointed at the door, saying sternly, "I can't help you with your matters. The matter between you and Gongsun Yu has not been settled yet. Let the Manor Head deal with it however he wants. I don't care anymore!"
Miao Yi's expression twitched. He finally understood what it meant to be a superior official who could crush someone to death. But then again, he also felt that it was quite shameless of him to say something like that. Taking a step back, if Qin Weiwei and Gongsun Yu really got together, then forget about this woman. Gongsun Yu would definitely kill him.
"Don't be angry." Miao Yi's smile was uglier than crying.
"Angry? It's not worth it to be angry over someone like you. "Qin Weiwei shouted again," Scram! "
"I … I promise, alright?" Miao Yi took the initiative to plead, "Weiwei, don't be angry. We are friends. How can I not help you when you are in danger? I promise to ask the Manor Head for your hand in marriage, alright? "
Qin Weiwei's rapidly rising and falling chest gradually calmed down. She stared at him coldly and said, "You better think this through. You are willing. I didn't force you."
You are obviously forcing me, and you still say you didn't force me? It's just that both you and your daughter are my immediate superiors. I'm not strong enough, so I have no choice but to compromise! Miao Yi felt tears welling up in his eyes. On the surface, he still had to smile apologetically and say, "No, no. Since we are friends, it's impossible for me to not help when I see a friend in trouble."
Qin Weiwei's eyes flickered. She suddenly experienced the thrill of power.
Actually, she had already experienced it when she forced Miao Yi to be her friend. It was precisely because she had experienced it for the first time that she realized that power was a very useful thing. That was why her skin gradually grew thicker. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said such words.
Of course, she had to disguise her words, pretending to help him or something. If you really asked her to do it for real, she wouldn't be able to put up a front like this. She wouldn't be able to open her mouth even if you beat her to death.
She also didn't know how to talk about love. She didn't have any experience in that area, so she might as well use force under the pretense of concealment.
The frost on her pretty face gradually melted. Qin Weiwei sighed and said, "Actually, doing this will be beneficial to you as well. If you and I carry that false reputation, not only can I get rid of those rumors and Godfather's forced marriage, it will also be easier for you to talk to the Manor Head about some of your matters. Otherwise, it won't be right for me to always side with you and help you. With this layer of relationship between us on the surface, Godfather might soon think of a way to promote you to Mountain Chieftain. "
'I do want to be a Mountain Chieftain, but not in such a manner! ' Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "You might be able to get rid of the rumors, but I'm afraid I'll be plagued by them again. When that time comes, people will definitely say that I'm living off a woman."
Qin Weiwei was taken aback. She hadn't considered this point before. Before this, she only thought that there wouldn't be any disadvantages for Miao Yi if the two of them were together. Now that she thought about it, it seemed that it was a little too much to let a man carry such a reputation. It turned out that her status and background weren't all her advantages. A hint of regret flashed across her eyes.
Miao Yi didn't really care about reputation and whatnot. As someone who came from a dirty street butcher background, he was long used to being looked down upon by others. Right now, he was at a loss as to how he should propose to Yang Qing. He looked out the window and casually asked, "If I really carry that reputation, will I have to stay here when I come to Mount Calming Sea in the future?"
Qin Weiwei said a little unnaturally, "You can."
"Sigh! What a pity. "Miao Yi sighed.
"What's a pity?" Qin Weiwei asked in return, "Don't tell me you want to stay in the same room as me?"
'I do want to!' Miao Yi retracted his gaze from the window and looked at Qin Weiwei's beautiful face. He then quickly swept his gaze over her perky breasts and laughed dryly, "What a pity that it's only for show. It's a pity that I'm only in name but not in reality. I'm afraid that outsiders will think that I'm very lucky with women."
Qin Weiwei replied with a seemingly calm 'oh' and asked, "Do you really want to put on a show with me?"
Miao Yi teased, "Mountain Chieftain is so beautiful. I'm afraid that any man would want to put on a show with you."
Qin Weiwei coldly said, "I won't stop you. If you have the guts, why don't you give it a try? Maybe I won't reject you."
"Ahem!" Miao Yi coughed dryly with an awkward expression. He thought to himself, 'This woman is so certain that I won't dare to touch her.'
To be honest, he really wanted to put on a show with Qin Weiwei. If he really did carry that status and had such a beautiful woman by his side, any man would probably want to get intimate with her.
Unfortunately, he was working under her father. If he really angered Yang Qing, he could easily be turned into a Loose Cultivator with a kick. Forcing himself on Qin Weiwei would undoubtedly be a joke to his future. He couldn't afford to offend her! Moreover, he wasn't shameless to the point where he couldn't wait any longer...
Suppressing Second Hall. Advisor Liao Busheng from Suppressing Third Hall was quietly waiting by Huo Lingxiao's side. He was here on Wu Menglan's orders to deliver a letter to Huo Lingxiao.
Huo Lingxiao sat there with one elbow resting on the tea table. He expressionlessly read the contents of the jade archive.
Liao Busheng had been paying attention to Huo Lingxiao, but he couldn't see any reaction from his face.
After reading the contents of the jade archive, Huo Lingxiao put it down and lifted his head with a smile, "I didn't expect Wu Menglan to be so interested in my subordinate. Go back and tell Wu Menglan that there are many men in Suppressing Second Hall who are stronger than Xiong Xiao. If she wants more, I can personally choose a few for her. I guarantee that she will be satisfied."
Liao Busheng's expression changed slightly. This was an insult to his own Hall Master. Unfortunately, he was alone and didn't dare to act rashly. He could only say in a low voice, "Farewell."
Huo Lingxiao raised his hand slightly and said, "I won't be seeing you out!"
After Liao Busheng flew away, Huo Lingxiao's expression gradually darkened. Suddenly, the transcendence energy in his body surged.
Bang bang bang …
A series of explosions rang out. Many things in the room were blasted to smithereens, causing Tian Yu and Liu Xing to turn pale.
With a wave of his sleeve, Huo Lingxiao blew the smoke and dust out of the room and sneered, "Xiong Xiao, you've got guts. You actually dared to make a fool out of me. I think you must be tired of living."
Yang Qing's guess was right. The reason why Xiong Xiao's name had been leaked from the list was because of Huo Lingxiao.
Of course, how could the Hall Master be so eager to see his subordinates fall into chaos? Naturally, he had someone unintentionally leak the information to Xiong Xiao. However, as long as Xiong Xiao wasn't stupid, he should be able to guess that the Hall Master had good intentions for him.
The reason for this was very simple. While supporting Yang Qing, he also wanted to support someone who had the ability to keep Yang Qing in check, in case Yang Qing didn't listen to him.
Within the rules of the game, a high cultivation could not solve all problems. A good brain was very important. In the battle between Yang Qing and Zhang Decheng, Xiong Xiao's performance was remarkable, and Huo Lingxiao had taken a fancy to him.
When Yang Qing handed over the list, as the Hall Master, he couldn't be too obviously biased towards Xiong Xiao. On the surface, he didn't cross off Xiong Xiao's name, but he had someone secretly leak it to Xiong Xiao. The purpose was also to see if Xiong Xiao had the ability to wrestle with Yang Qing. If he did, the list could be changed at the last moment.
