Excluding the fact that Miao Yi had already made a promise to the School of Blue Jade.
In Yan Xiu's eyes, Miao Yi's method of solving a problem was to first stir up trouble. Once the matter was stirred up, Miao Yi's trouble would immediately come. For example, when Cave Master Miao had first arrived at East Arrival Cave to take up his post, the first thing he did was to first secretly smash the mountain gate, then frame him for the crime and kill him.
No matter how Yan Xiu looked at the situation in front of him, it seemed like Miao Yi was deliberately stirring up trouble. Otherwise, with Miao Yi's temperament, how could he have the patience to watch the people below slowly quarrel?
It was no wonder he had followed Miao Yi for so many years. Miao Yi had to admit that he did not have the same ability as Yang Qing, who could calmly use trickery to solve problems at all times. He, Miao Yi, was more used to stirring up trouble, then finding a loophole. Afterwards, he would fiercely make his move and resolve the matter quickly!
Yang Qing's way of solving problems was a little reserved, while Miao Yi's way of solving problems was a little more intense.
"Stop arguing." Miao Yi handed the teacup over to Xue Er, asking her to brew another cup. He turned around and slapped the armrest, once again suppressing the quarrel. Shaking his head, he said, "Since we can't decide on the Cave Master's appointment for now, then let's put it aside for now. There's still a vacancy for an Advisor and three Deacons. Who do you think is suitable?"
This question was no different from the previous one. One could imagine the situation. As soon as he said this, the people below started arguing again.
The members of the Sword Deviate Sect naturally wanted to promote the members of the Sword Deviate Sect, and the members of the Jade Lady Sect did not give way either. The administrator of the School of Imperial Beasts also wanted to be promoted to an Advisor. Since it was not appropriate for him to promote himself, he secretly had the members of the School of Imperial Beasts make a ruckus while he fought desperately for the three vacancies for his fellow sect members.
Noisy! Continue arguing! Miao Yi took the teacup that Xue 'Er had brought over and slowly sipped on it. He listened and allowed everyone to continue arguing.
This was probably the first time in the history of Mount Calming Sea's Great Assembly Hall that such a ruckus had occurred. When it came to matters of their own interests, no one was willing to back down. The ruckus nearly caused the roof to collapse.
The disciples of the Sword Deviate Sect, the Jade Lady Sect, and the School of Imperial Beasts were already pointing fingers at each other, spittle flying everywhere. They argued until their faces and necks were red. In the end, they almost reached the point of insulting each other. I scolded you for being incompetent, and this one scolded the other for being trash. They were cursing to the point where they had physical contact and were just short of fighting.
The people from the School of Blue Jade didn't join in. From time to time, they would glance at Miao Yi, who was sitting high up on the throne.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er glanced at Miao Yi from time to time as well. The two ladies could also tell that the members of the three major sects dared to cause such a ruckus. It was obvious that he didn't think much of Miao Yi. The two girls couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Yan Xiu understood this principle as well. If it was Yang Qing here, or even if it was Qin Weiwei, no one would dare to bellow like this. However, there was no lack of Miao Yi deliberately showing weakness and indulging them.
After finishing his cup of tea, Miao Yi looked at the bottom of the teacup and suddenly threw it away.
Yi. Yi 'Yi's Yu. The teacup shattered beneath the stage. Miao Yi abruptly stood up with a cold expression, sweeping his cold gaze across the crowd. Yi. of.. Yi.
A crisp sound rang out, and the Assembly Hall instantly fell silent. All eyes were focused on the sound, and the people who had been arguing until their ears turned red were stunned. They seemed to have realized that they had gone too far.
The Mountain Chieftain was obviously asking for everyone's opinion before making a decision. If they didn't fight for it now, would they have to watch the other sects take all the benefits?
Zhou Huan, Liu Qian, and the others discreetly waved their hands at their fellow disciples, indicating for them to return to their original positions. The messy hall was quickly restored to order, with the exception of the shattered teacups at the foot of the dais.
"It's fine if you want to argue. Do you still respect me as a Mountain Chieftain? "Miao Yi asked coldly." Are you trying to show me who I am? "
Miao Yi was still in Yi Hua's hands. They didn't want to go overboard. They apologized, "Please calm down, Mountain Chieftain."
Miao Yi said solemnly, "I wasn't around for some time. The matter with Mount Calming Sea has been delayed for some time. East Arrival Cave and Long Viridescent Cave are useless now. We can't let this drag on any longer. "
Someone below muttered, 'East Arrival Cave is useless now. It's all because of the grudge between you and Xiong Xiao that Xiong Xiao sent his troops to massacre you. You're lucky that you managed to escape. Long Viridescent Cave is also your doing. You almost killed everyone, and now you still have the face to say it here? If it wasn't for the Manor Head's favor, how could you have become the Mountain Chieftain of Mount Calming Sea?! '
"I believe many of you here are doubting my right to be in this position. There must be many who are unconvinced by me." Miao Yi laughed coldly, then continued expressionlessly, "It's been so many days since the incident. I believe many have already heard the news. Xiong Xiao has already defected to Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor and became the Manor Head. These days, I, Miao Yi, have personally gone to Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor and taken the life of that traitor Xiong Xiao with my own hands. I brought his head back and presented it to the Manor Head. This Mountain Chieftain position was obtained by me using my life. Merit will be rewarded, and the Manor Head personally bestowed it to me. It's useless even if you're unconvinced! "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Xiong Xiao was already dead?
Everyone doubted the veracity of Miao Yi's words. Going to Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor within Suppressing Third Hall's territory to kill Xiong Xiao?
But everyone knew that if Miao Yi were to lie in front of everyone, he would be the one who would be embarrassed in the future.
Yan Xiu was shocked as well. 'So the Mountain Chieftain wasn't around these days because he went to Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor to kill Xiong Xiao!'
Miao Yi was just showing off a little. There was no need for him to spout nonsense. Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to intimidate everyone with his arrogance. He had to be more practical when dealing with these people. He swept a cold gaze across them and said in a deep voice, "Today, there must be a conclusion to the vacancies of Advisor, Deacon, and Cave Master. Zhou Huan!"
The Sword Deviate Sect disciple with the highest position in Mount Calming Sea, Zhou Huan, with a cultivation at Blue Lotus First Grade, stood up and cupped his fists. "Present!"
"The people you recommended earlier are all disciples of the Sword Deviate Sect, right?" Miao Yi asked.
Zhou Huan answered without hesitation, "They are indeed disciples of the Sword Deviate Sect. However, Zhou Huan believes that we shouldn't avoid family ties when selecting talents. Those who are capable should take the position."
Miao Yi nodded. "Those who are capable should take the position. Well said. I agree." His gaze fell on Liu Qian. "Liu Qian, the people you recommended are all disciples of the Jade Lady Sect, right?"
Liu Qian, who was also the representative of the Jade Lady Sect in Mount Calming Sea, also had a cultivation at Blue Lotus First Grade. When she heard Miao Yi's question, she cupped her fists and said, "The fellow disciples I recommended are all outstanding as well. Similarly, we shouldn't avoid family ties when selecting talents."
Miao Yi looked towards the School of Imperial Beasts and asked, "Mao Yifan. What are your intentions in recommending your fellow disciples?"
Mao Yifan was a little unlucky. As the School of Imperial Beasts' Head Disciple in Mount Calming Sea, he also had a cultivation at Blue Lotus First Grade. Logically speaking, he was also qualified for the position of Advisor. However, Qin Weiwei had to arrange for one of her trusted aides at the time, so there were only two vacancies left for the three of them to share.
Qin Weiwei had Yang Qing as her backing, so she didn't have to worry too much. In order to be fair, she actually had the three of them draw straws. Naturally, the result of the draw was that Mao Yifan was in a difficult position. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a Deacon.
Mao Yifan cupped his fists and said, "Naturally, those who are capable should take the position. Your subordinate has no selfish motives!"
"No selfish motives, huh?!" Miao Yi sneered and said, "Those who are capable should take the position, huh? Fine then. I will listen to you. Those who are capable should take the position. From this moment onwards, all the Advisors, Deacons, and Cave Masters who currently hold the position will be dismissed. Empty all the positions! "
Everyone was shocked. Zhou Huan was stunned for a moment. Zhou Huan was stunned for a moment before he furiously asked, "Why?!"
Liu Qian also stepped forward and asked, "May I ask, Mountain Chieftain, why are we being dismissed for no reason at all?"
Mao Yifan naturally wouldn't remain silent either. "We didn't do anything wrong. Are you going to dismiss us just because we had a small argument just now? How can Mountain Chieftain convince the masses by doing this? We refuse to accept this! "
As he shouted, the School of Imperial Beasts disciples followed suit and shouted, "We refuse to accept this!"
Zhou Huan and Liu Qian both turned around. The disciples behind them immediately shouted in unison, "We refuse to accept this!"
"We refuse to accept this!"
Everyone in the grand hall seemed to be in an uproar, all of them opposing the Mountain Chieftain.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er's faces were filled with worry. What could they do if this went on?
Miao Yi calmly watched on for a while. Suddenly, he shouted angrily, "Enough!"
Zhou Huan took a step forward and said, "We have served Mount Calming Sea with all our might until the day we die, but the Mountain Chieftain has dismissed us for no reason at all. If you do not give us a satisfactory explanation, we will all go to South Edict Manor together and demand justice from the Manor Head!"
"Explain?" Miao Yi narrowed his eyes at them. "Didn't you already explain yourself? Didn't you quarrel endlessly and even wanted to start a fight in the Conference Hall? Didn't you say that the most capable person should be the leader? "
Liu Qian cupped her fists and asked, "Does Mountain Chieftain think that we are incapable of taking up this position?"
"Whether we have the ability or not is not up to you to decide. Prove it with your strength! " Miao Yi berated, then faced the crowd and said in a deep voice, "From now on, we will treat everyone equally. Anyone who believes that they have the ability to take on the positions of Advisor, Deacon, or Cave Master can apply for it. The winner will immediately take up the post. As for the loser, don't say anything about your ability. Get lost! "
"…" Zhou Huan and the others were instantly speechless. They realized that they had screwed themselves over for so long.
But the logic was already clear. They were the ones who shouted that the most capable person should take up the post. Even if the Manor Head found out about this, they would be the ones to suffer.
But who would have thought that they would be included in this rule as well? They were fighting for their fellow disciples, but now they couldn't possibly say that they were an exception and didn't need to take up the post, could they? This time, they had fallen into a huge trap.
Everyone was instantly rendered speechless.
Many of them looked at each other in dismay. They were all itching to make a move. Now, everyone had a chance!
The crowd immediately fell silent.
"Yan Xiu, Qian'Er, Xue'Er!" Miao Yi turned his head to his left and right. "Go and collect their appointment jade archives and storage rings."
"Yes!" The three of them acknowledged the order.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er walked down the stairs and followed behind Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu was already used to carrying out Miao Yi's orders. He was the first to walk up to Zhou Huan and cupped his fists calmly. "Advisor Zhou, please hand over your appointment jade archives and storage rings."
Who asked a certain someone to stand in the front row?
Zhou Huan's expression twitched. Unfortunately, he couldn't swallow his words. Gritting his teeth, he braced himself and emptied his storage ring under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Then, he handed over the storage ring and the Jade Archive of Appointment.
After Yan Xiu checked that there were no mistakes, he handed them over to Qian'Er and Xue'Er respectively. He then walked up to Liu Qian and cupped his fists.
There was no need to say anything else. Liu Qian had no choice but to obediently hand over the items.
The next one was naturally Mao Yifan.
The three of them were still fine. After some thought, they realized that they were the only Blue Lotus First Grade cultivators in Mount Calming Sea. After a competition, they would naturally get back what was rightfully theirs. Furthermore, it would be more justifiable. Hence, the three of them were quite cooperative.
The ones who were truly complaining about the three of them were the current Cave Masters. They had taken up their positions, but never once did they say that they would take up the post. Most of them were only able to become Cave Masters as soon as they arrived in Mount Calming Sea because of their backgrounds.
The Cave Masters could easily tell from the heated gazes around them that there were many people with higher cultivation than them. There were too many people who wanted to take up their positions. If they handed it over, who knew if they would be able to snatch it back. They were screwed over by those three bastards!
