"Alright! Chen Fei … "Qin Weiwei nodded and remembered the name.
"And Yan Xiu." Miao Yi smiled. "If Yan Xiu comes looking for you one day, please help me take care of him as well."
Qin Weiwei was immediately astonished. She knew about the relationship between him and Yan Xiu. Why would he come looking for her? He couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Is something the matter?"
As soon as Miao Yi saw the look on her face, he could tell that she still didn't know about the name list for the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. He shook his head and said, "It's all because of the School of Blue Jade. Actually, it's nothing much. I just want to be prepared for the worst."
With regards to Yan Xiu, this was the only arrangement he could make. If Yan Xiu wanted to continue mingling with the officials and stay in Mount Calming Sea, the newly appointed Mountain Chieftain would obviously not use someone else's trusted aide. His future days would probably be difficult. Seeking refuge with Qin Weiwei was a good choice. If he wanted to leave with Yao Ruoxian, then he would have to seek Qin Weiwei's help in removing his Immortal Record. With Qin Weiwei's background, it wouldn't be a problem for her to do such a thing.
As for Qian'Er and Xue'Er, if he was no longer around, their best option would be to follow Yao Ruoxian. Yao Ruoxian would not abandon his two daughters.
Naturally, Qin Weiwei had heard about the incident at the School of Blue Jade, but she didn't understand what it had to do with her taking care of Chen Fei and Yan Xiu. However, since Miao Yi had spoken, she didn't reject him. She asked, "Then how are you going to thank me this time? I've always been the one helping you, but you've never repaid me. "
Recalling how Yang Qing had secretly coerced him back then, Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to ask me to repay you with my body, do you?"
Qin Weiwei lifted her foot and used the tip of her foot to draw a mark on the snowy ground. Seemingly joking, she said, "If you're willing, there's nothing you can't do."
"Mountain Chieftain Qin is so beautiful. I can take advantage of you in this matter. There's nothing to be unwilling about." Miao Yi gestured towards a certain direction with his lips and said, "The person who is unwilling is over there."
Hinting that it wasn't that I didn't want to help you last time, but that I couldn't do anything.
"Oh!" Qin Weiwei had long since guessed it, and teased, "If you really have the heart to repay me, who can stop you? You might as well try avoiding that person."
Miao Yi thought she was joking, and teased back, "Don't tell me you're thinking of having sex with me?"
Qin Weiwei rarely revealed a mischievous expression. "That's a good idea. Why don't we give it a try?"
"Haha!" Miao Yi chuckled. He realized that this woman wasn't that difficult to get along with after spending some time with her. This kind of joke could also be made, and it was not as cold as it looked on the surface. However, if this joke continued, as a man, it did not matter to him, but he would be suspected of being a hooligan to a woman. It would be too much to continue, so he took the initiative to change the topic. "I'll leave the two of them to you. I owe you a favor, and I'll repay you when I have the chance."
Qin Weiwei did not delve any further into the topic of devoting herself to him. She had her own reservations and was not a thick-skinned person. However, a hint of complexity flashed quietly in her bright eyes before she smiled sweetly. "Alright. I'll wait and see how you repay me. "
Just like the previous years, Manor Head Yang Qing took out another batch of Orbs of Will as a wager, and the venue for the competition was still the same as before.
Everyone gathered at the mountainside to watch the competition. Miao Yi, who was mixed in with the crowd, felt a little awkward, or perhaps uncomfortable, because Qin Weiwei had openly sat side by side with him and took the initiative to communicate.
Gongsun Yu, who was tailing behind them, would cast his gaze over from time to time. Seeing Qin Weiwei and Miao Yi conversing so intimately, it would not be an exaggeration to say that his gaze was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
He followed Qin Weiwei to Mount Shaotai, and naturally, Qin Weiwei did not mistreat him. He continued to be a Cave Master.
No one dared to object to the personnel changes at Mount Shaotai. Firstly, Qin Weiwei had Yang Qing's backing, and secondly, the incident with Xiong Xiao had shocked everyone. It was not a personal grudge between Xiong Xiao and Miao Yi, but rather, they had assisted Xiong Xiao in his defection. It was already good enough that they were not held accountable. Who would still dare to object? Qin Weiwei could adjust it however she wanted, and everyone behaved themselves.
They respected Yang Qing's wishes. Qin Weiwei took the opportunity to demote all the Cave Masters who were in charge of two Caves. In an instant, there were ten more Cave Master positions, and just like that, Gongsun Yu successfully obtained his position.
Miao Yi also saw Tu Sanliang, who was behind Qin Weiwei. Miao Yi, on the other hand, responded with a smile and a nod to this bastard who had ambushed him in East Arrival Cave and almost killed him.
Who would have thought that Tu Sanliang would look at him with disdain, then turn his head to the side, seemingly disdainful.
At the same time, Miao Yi could also feel Yang Qing's gaze drifting over. Miao Yi sighed in his heart. He knew that Qin Weiwei would attract Yang Qing's attention by doing this, but he couldn't just chase Qin Weiwei away.
The competition had begun. Each Cave Master rode their dragon steeds down the hill to enter the arena, and Gongsun Yu followed suit.
However, no one from Mount Calming Sea was participating, which attracted many people's scornful gazes. Those gazes were clearly saying, 'As expected, once the School of Blue Jade fell, this bastard would become a coward without any external help.'
Not to mention Tian Qingfeng, even Liu Qian and the others felt a little uneasy. No matter what, they were now members of Mount Calming Sea. If Mount Calming Sea was looked down upon, they would lose face as well.
Standing at the side, Qin Weiwei naturally felt everyone's scornful gazes as well. She tilted her head to look at Miao Yi, only to see that he was completely unperturbed. His eyes were calm, and he turned a blind eye to the scornful gazes around him. His attention was focused on the competition below.
To Qin Weiwei, this didn't seem like Miao Yi's character, who would easily cause trouble. However, deep down, she approved of him. After so many years, this bastard was becoming more and more mature … Perhaps this was the saying, 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder.'
Who would have thought that Tu Sanliang, who was standing behind her, seemed to want to embarrass Miao Yi. "Mountain Chieftain Miao, why aren't your Cave Masters in the following competition? Could it be that they're afraid of embarrassing themselves and are hiding?"
Both sides immediately burst into laughter. Qin Weiwei furrowed her brows and turned to look at Tu Sanliang. Tu Sanliang laughed dryly and shut his mouth.
Miao Yi didn't want to offend the members of the three major schools because he was about to go to the Sea of Constellations. However, when someone tried to bully him, he wasn't someone to be trifled with. He laughed and said, "Indeed, I'm afraid of embarrassing myself. Once the Cave Masters under me make a move, the others' Caves won't stand a chance. I'm afraid that they'll embarrass themselves and embarrass my colleagues, so I didn't bring them along."
These words were a slap to the faces of all the Mountain Chieftains, including Qin Weiwei's as well. Qin Weiwei glared at him, and Miao Yi smiled apologetically.
Beside him, a Mountain Chieftain with the surname 'Wang' scoffed, "Mountain Chieftain Miao, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue with such a big tone?"
"Biting my tongue?" Miao Yi gave him a sidelong glance, and calmly said, "Those who know me know that I don't like to boast. I only like to fight with real swords and spears. My subordinates all like to kill, and to accomplish their goals. Let's forget about a competition that's just for fun. It really doesn't suit them. It's not that I'm blowing my own trumpet, but to think that my Mount Calming Sea only had twenty steeds who dared to charge into Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor and take Xiong Xiao's head. Why would I be afraid of a mere competition? Let me ask you, other than my Mount Calming Sea, which other mountain can do the same? If any Mountain Chieftain is unconvinced, as long as you aren't afraid of sleeping but not waking up, why don't you tell me your name? Another day, I will personally lead twenty steeds and pay you a visit! "
'Sleeping but not waking up?' As soon as he said this, an uproar broke out on both sides, one after another accusing him of being arrogant.
However, Miao Yi remained calm in the face of such a situation. He coldly stared at the crowd below. If anyone dared to accept the challenge, he wouldn't mind doing it again. It just so happened that he was tight on cash lately.
There were many people scolding him, almost as if they were attacking him from all sides. However, none of the Mountain Chieftains dared to accept the challenge.
If it were someone else, they might have said, 'Who's afraid of who?'. However, Miao Yi's notoriety was known far and wide. If anyone dared to accept the challenge, it would be proven that this lunatic might actually do it for real. The twenty Blue Lotus cultivators in Mount Calming Sea were no joke. No one was willing to risk their lives.
Behind him, Tian Qingfeng and the others, including Liu Qian and the others, subconsciously straightened their backs. The Mountain Chieftain's words were indeed domineering, and they had vented their anger.
Qin Weiwei was speechless. She had just said that this guy had matured. Who would've thought that he would go against all the Mountain Chieftains with just a single sentence!
She tilted her head to glance at Yang Qing, who was on the other side, and replied with a heavy 'Mm'. The criticism directed at Miao Yi immediately stopped, and everyone forcefully focused their attention on the competition below.
During the third round of the competition, Gongsun Yu returned in low spirits. He looked at Qin Weiwei with a face full of shame.
Qin Weiwei didn't think much of it. The strength of the two Manors had greatly increased. Many of the Cave Masters were from the three major schools, and they were quite capable. It was impossible for Gongsun Yu to be ranked at the top like he was in the early days.
After the competition ended, Miao Yi took the initiative to look for Qin Weiwei. He asked her to introduce him to the experts from the three major schools who were overseeing South Edict Manor.
Qin Weiwei didn't reject him. She only said, 'You owe me another favor.'
When he visited the experts from the three major schools in South Edict Manor one by one, Miao Yi prepared a few meager gifts and presented them to each of them to establish a good relationship.
However, they reacted coldly to him. Although they accepted the gifts, they didn't agree to anything. If it weren't for Qin Weiwei's sake, they probably wouldn't even treat them well.
Someone made it clear that it wasn't right for Mount Calming Sea to directly pull down the people from the three major schools. If they wanted to get closer to each other, they hoped that Mountain Chieftain Miao would repent in time.
The meaning behind his words was very clear. He wanted the people from the School of Blue Jade in Mount Calming Sea to step aside, and let their sect's disciples take over. Otherwise, there was no need for further discussion.
Actually, when Miao Yi first brought down the people from the three major schools, he didn't think that the School of Blue Jade would be destroyed.
At that time, supporting the School of Blue Jade was also for his own benefit. The few major schools were openly and covertly competing against each other. They were all fighting for benefits in the two Manors, and no one could pull them all together. When he went to the Sea of Constellations, he shouldn't expect everyone to revolve around him. They were too powerful and wouldn't take him seriously. One must know that the three major schools didn't only have disciples serving in the two Manors. Once he went to the Sea of Constellations, even Yang Qing couldn't control the three major schools. But the School of Blue Jade was different. The benefits of the School of Blue Jade in Mount Calming Sea were tied to Miao Yi. When he went to the Sea of Constellations, the School of Blue Jade would definitely instruct their disciples to protect him. It was easy to judge which choice to make.
But who would've thought that the School of Blue Jade would suddenly collapse? It caught Miao Yi off guard, and he was helpless.
Although he wouldn't do anything to avenge the School of Blue Jade, he wouldn't bring down their disciples from their positions in Mount Calming Sea either. If he really did that, wouldn't he become a fickle and despicable person?
Miao Yi wasn't a gentleman, and he didn't mind being a despicable person. However, he wouldn't become a treacherous person.
