Seeing that Miao Yi and the others had escaped from the Red Lotus cultivators, the contents of the archive ended there. Yang Qing let out a sigh of relief and said, "How lucky! What's up with that list of compensations? "
Miao Yi was cautious, but he put on a relaxed expression and said, "After Mount Returning Loyalty attacked East Arrival Cave, I couldn't take it lying down. Every year, I would send someone to deliver a list of compensations. I was purely hoping that they would compensate me a little. Who would've thought that they wouldn't compensate me at all.
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Xiong Xiao is your old enemy. You've finally resolved your worries this time."
"I was lucky. If it weren't for the fact that the men of Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor were loyal to Xiong Xiao and refused to listen to his commands, I'm afraid the one who would've been beheaded would've been me." Miao Yi didn't dare to admit how powerful he was. It wasn't a good thing to tell the Manor Head how he could easily kill another Manor Head.
Yang Qing glanced at him and asked, "Looks like you have a good relationship with the School of Blue Jade. You borrowed twenty Blue Lotus cultivators just like that. Don't you know about the grudge between me and the School of Blue Jade?"
His words were a little harsh. Qing Mei was expressionless as she listened, but worry flashed across Qing Ju's eyes.
"The Blue Lotus cultivators from the School of Blue Jade have been tossed around a few times. They're almost all gone. These twenty people are practically the entire School of Blue Jade." Miao Yi indicated that the School of Blue Jade was no longer a threat.
Yang Qing was naturally aware of the School of Blue Jade's resources. He nodded and asked, "How are you going to arrange for these people?"
"Naturally, I'll reward them according to their contributions. When I get back, I'll push them into the Cave Master position." Miao Yi was straightforward.
Yang Qing couldn't help but smile and asked, "Most of the Cave Masters in Mount Calming Sea are from the three major schools. Aren't you afraid that they'll object?"
"I don't have a choice. The people in Mount Calming Sea don't have the ability to kill Xiong Xiao. I can only ask the School of Blue Jade for help. They won't lend me their men for nothing." Miao Yi laughed bitterly and took out a jade archive with both hands.
Yang Qing took it and looked at it. It was the official list of the twenty School of Blue Jade disciples. There was another name that was requested to be removed from the Immortal Record. The previous jade archive had already stated that Luo Shuangfei had died at the hands of that Red Lotus expert.
Yang Qing didn't say much and approved the request on the spot. He then turned around and reminded, "The Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade is still a few years away. When the time comes, all the major sects will be sending their people to participate as well. If you can build a good relationship with them, it will be a great help to you when you reach the Sea of Constellations. "
"Your subordinate understands," Miao Yi replied.
"You have done a meritorious service in killing the traitors this time. You should be rewarded!" Yang Qing turned to look at Qing Mei and transmitted his voice secretly.
Qing Mei stepped forward and took out a hundred low-grade Orbs of Will from her storage ring as a reward. To a Manor, a reward of over a hundred Orbs of Will in one go was considered a huge reward. Miao Yi accepted the reward and expressed his gratitude.
The two of them discussed some other matters before Miao Yi took his leave.
At the same time, Yang Qing passed on the report of Miao Yi heading to Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor to kill Xiong Xiao to Qing Mei and Qing Ju, asking for their opinions on the matter.
After Qing Ju saw it, she sighed and said, "Brave and resourceful."
"Brave and resourceful. Colluding with the School of Blue Jade is not a good thing," Qing Mei said plainly.
Qing Ju was shocked. She turned around and asked, "Sister, are you suspecting that Miao Yi is up to no good?"
Yang Qing continued, "I have always admired that kid. At least he is very diligent and has never disappointed me. I need this kind of subordinate. I don't want him to end up like Xiong Xiao, so it's time for the School of Blue Jade to disappear. "
They were trying to cut off Miao Yi's external aid! Qing Ju was shocked again. "The School of Blue Jade has two Red Lotus experts!"
Yang Qing walked to the railing and gazed at the distant mountains. With his back facing the two of them, he asked, "Previously, Elder Wu sent a letter inquiring about the grandson who was killed in Long Viridescent Cave. What is his name?"
"Wu Liu," Qing Mei replied as she walked behind him.
Yang Qing nodded. "Yes! Elder Wu didn't want his fellow disciples to think that he was abusing his power for personal gain. That's why he sent his grandson to Long Viridescent Cave to serve him. Earlier on, he privately informed me that he hoped that I would have a chance to take care of him. Who would've thought that he would be killed by Miao Yi before he could even get the chance. From the inquiry Elder Wu sent, it was clear that Elder Wu was furious. It's time to give Elder Wu an explanation. "
Qing Ju furrowed her brows. "Don't tell me Elder Wu still dares to make a move against Miao Yi?"
"Miao Yi is an official after all. He wouldn't dare to act rashly. However, he would still dare to make a move against the School of Blue Jade." Yang Qing turned around and said indifferently, "Isn't Miao Yi going to stuff the School of Blue Jade's disciples into the various Cave Master's positions in Mount Calming Sea? This kid really isn't the least bit worried that the School of Blue Jade will control his subordinates. Let me help him resolve this worry. I'll wait for Miao Yi to help the School of Blue Jade's disciples into their positions. The disciples of the three major schools will definitely have an opinion. When the time comes, I'll find a chance to explain to Elder Wu that it was the School of Blue Jade's people who were behind this. Miao Yi and his grandson had no grudge against each other. His grandson was merely a sacrificial lamb in the School of Blue Jade's power struggle. I believe Elder Wu will settle the score with the School of Blue Jade for the sake of our school's interests. "
Qing Mei and Qing Ju silently nodded. This was giving Elder Wu an excuse to avenge his grandson. The School of Blue Jade and the School of Imperial Beasts weren't even on the same level. If the School of Imperial Beasts made a move, the School of Blue Jade would probably be in deep trouble …
After the five riders left South Edict Manor, Miao Yi didn't immediately return to Mount Calming Sea. Instead, he went to South Edict City, which was directly under the jurisdiction of South Edict Manor.
Miao Yi didn't want to attract too much attention, so he ordered Tian Qingfeng and the others to wait outside the city. He abandoned his mount and entered the city alone.
Walking in the bustling South Edict City, ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell that he was a cultivator. Only cultivators would be able to tell from the storage ring on his hand.
After asking around, Miao Yi found the highest spot in the city. It was a villa on top of a hill. It was the Celestial Nation Chamber of Commerce's branch in South Edict Manor.
The guard at the gate saw the storage ring on his hand and didn't ask any questions. He immediately let him in.
As he entered, he noticed that the environment was pretty good. The courtyard was secluded, but it was too quiet. It was obvious that there wasn't much business in the tiny South Edict Manor.
It was rare for a customer to come in, so the three tellers in charge of transactions all rushed out at the same time to solicit customers.
"Esteemed customer, is there anything you want to buy or sell?"
They surrounded him and were extremely polite. Every time they completed a transaction, they would receive a commission. No matter how small a mosquito's leg was, it was still meat. It was better than nothing. Moreover, Miao Yi was wearing three storage rings on his hand. How could a businessman not have a good eye for such things?
Miao Yi couldn't stand the quarreling of the three people. He swept his gaze across the three of them. There were two men and a woman. The woman was beautiful. She wore a pink dress, and her skin was fair. It was a comfortable sight to look at. Miao Yi pointed at the woman.
The woman immediately smiled sweetly. She cupped her fists towards the other two and said, "Please excuse me. This is my customer."
The other two immediately left in disappointment. It was indeed advantageous for a businessman to be beautiful.
The woman in pink politely brought Miao Yi to her guest room and quickly poured tea for him.
Miao Yi didn't even sit down. He immediately waved his hand and said, "No need to trouble yourself." He took out Luo Ping's name card from the capital city's Chamber of Commerce and placed it on the table.
The woman in pink picked it up and looked at it. A look of disappointment flashed across her eyes. It turned out that it was a customer of one of the tellers in the capital city. It was obvious that he wanted someone to come and serve him. There was nothing else for her to do. It should be known that those who could get such a name card and have a teller serve them were all big customers. The commission would definitely be quite high.
She asked enviously, "May I know where the esteemed customer would like Mr. Luo to contact you?"
"Mount Calming Sea. Miao Yi. Have Luo Ping come and find me as soon as possible." Miao Yi calmly replied.
The woman in pink tried asking, "Are you the Mountain Chieftain of Mount Calming Sea, Miao Yi?"
Miao Yi was taken aback. He scrutinized the other party and asked curiously, "You know me?"
The other party really didn't know who Miao Yi was. However, the location was specified to be in Mount Calming Sea, and he was able to get a teller from the capital city's Chamber of Commerce to serve him. Naturally, he would guess that Miao Yi was the person with the highest status in Mount Calming Sea. He didn't expect to guess correctly.
The girl in pink perked up. As the saying goes, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys moonlight first. She still had a chance to fight for it. If it was really a big client, it would be good for her to get some business from him in the future.
"Mountain Chieftain Miao's name resounds throughout Mount Calming Sea. This little girl has admired you for a long time." Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, the girl in pink first flattered him, then hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Miao Yi. She then took out her name card and presented it to him with both hands. "My name is Wen Fang. Actually, if Mountain Chieftain Miao wishes to conduct any business, you don't have to bother Teller Luo to come all the way from the capital city. Wen Fang can also help Mountain Chieftain Miao with the proper arrangements. It's no different from Teller Luo.
No matter what kind of business it is, Wen Fang can still mobilize people from all over the country. "Miao Yi chuckled. He grew up in the marketplace, so how could he not see that this girl was trying to steal his business? He took the name card and looked at it, then nodded and said," We'll talk about it later. Remember to have Luo Ping come and find me as soon as possible. "
The reason he came to the Chamber of Commerce this time was to prepare for his trip to the Sea of Constellations. No matter how many items he had on hand, they were not as important as his life. Hence, even if he had to go bankrupt, he had to create a good set of equipment to protect his life. Hence, the transaction this time was relatively large. He was a little worried about the strength of this South Edict Manor branch and this girl. He still felt that Luo Ping from the capital city was more reliable. After all, he had dealt with them before.
Disappointment flashed across Wen Fang's eyes. The other party was looking down on her small temple. But then again, this also proved that the other party's business was definitely a big one. Otherwise, it would have been fine if it was just a small business.
With Mount Calming Sea right beside her, she did not have to worry about not having a chance in the future. It all depended on whether she could grasp the opportunity.
Thus, she smiled again and promised, "Mountain Chieftain Miao, don't worry. I will definitely inform him as soon as possible."
Miao Yi nodded, took the two name cards, and took his leave.
Wen Fang sent him off with a smile on her face. Miao Yi asked her to send him off, but she still refused to let him go and insisted on sending him off. Along the way, she kept asking Miao Yi to look for her if he had any business in the future, and that she could run errands for him if he needed anything in South Edict City.
Miao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In just a short while, Wen Fang had started calling herself 'Little Sister', and Miao Yi had become 'Big Brother'. She was even more affectionate, saying that when Little Sister was free, she would go to Mount Calming Sea to visit Big Brother, and hoped that Big Brother wouldn't reject her at the door.
Miao Yi was speechless at the sudden appearance of a Little Sister. Since she was so enthusiastic, he couldn't very well say that Mount Calming Sea did not welcome her. Naturally, he would politely welcome her or something like that. He just hoped that this woman wouldn't take it seriously. How could he have the leisure to deal with just anyone?
