And this type of handmaiden was not only a trusted aide or a handmaiden, but also the person by his bed. Not many masters could restrain themselves from laying their hands on the delicate beauties by their side.
How could he not see through the thoughts of someone close to him? Xiong Xiao lifted her chin, looked at her pitiful face, and said in a low voice, "Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I will help you. "
He, Xiong Xiao, had a cultivation base at White Lotus Ninth Grade. If he wasn't under the powerful Yang Qing, he would have the qualifications to be a Mountain Chieftain. Once he succeeded this time, his position as a Mountain Chieftain was inevitable. Moreover, he was one of Yang Qing's trusted aides, so he had the right to say such words.
Chun Xue shook her head, "No."
Xiong Xiao pinched her chin, and asked with a tone that could not be evaded, "Speak!"
Chun Xue revealed a heartbroken expression. She bit her lips for a while, and then said, "Mountain Chieftain …"
"Mountain Chieftain?" Xiong Xiao was shocked.
If Mountain Chieftain Yang Qing really laid a hand on his woman, then he could only swallow his anger for now.
But he immediately felt that something was wrong. Mountain Chieftain Yang Qing was not a lecherous person. He heard that he already had a secret crush on someone, but because of the difference in status and background, he could not fulfill his desire. Yang Qing's efforts were mostly for that woman, and he would not lay a hand on his trusted aide's woman. Could there be another reason?
He released Chun Xue's chin, and asked cautiously, "What did I do wrong? Did I get scolded by Mountain Chieftain? "
Chun Xue knew he had misunderstood, and quickly waved her hands, "Mountain Chieftain would not waste his time on a little handmaiden like me."
Xiong Xiao also thought so, and asked curiously, "Then why?"
Chun Xue said with a sorrowful expression, "Cave Master, please do not ask any further. That person has received Mountain Chieftain's favor, and I no longer wish to pursue the matter. I also do not wish to implicate Cave Master and be blamed by Mountain Chieftain."
So it was someone else. Xiong Xiao's expression darkened. Among Yang Qing's subordinates, aside from Yang Qing, he was not afraid of anyone else. He asked coldly, "I want to see who has the guts to touch my woman. Speak!"
Seeing that he wanted to pursue the matter to the end, Chun Xue seemed to know she could no longer hide it. The Cave Master's authority also did not allow her to continue hiding it. She covered her face with tears, "Miao Yi!"
"Miao Yi?" Xiong Xiao was taken aback. There didn't seem to be anyone with such a high ranking among Mountain Chieftain Yang Qing's subordinates. However, he quickly came to a realization and said, "It's that Miao Yi who just surrendered? He has just surrendered, yet he dares to provoke you? "
He found it a little hard to believe. That Miao Yi had been defeated by Qin Weiwei's array, so he should be under Qin Weiwei's control right now. How could he have the chance to bully his own handmaiden? He reckoned he wouldn't even have the chance to meet her face to face. Could it be that there was someone else with the same name as him?
With tears streaming down her face, Chun Xue said, "Cave Master, have you forgotten how my younger brother died tragically? Back then, the entire Changfeng City was unable to find the murderer. Who would have thought that after more than ten years, I would actually see him here. "
As it turned out, this Chun Xue was none other than Head Guard Huang's daughter, Huang Yue, whom he had offered to the Immortal as a handmaiden. In other words, she was Huang Cheng's elder sister.
When she first saw Miao Yi fighting to the death with the people here, she couldn't recognize him. Even though she had seen Miao Yi before because they were neighbors in the same neighborhood, many years had passed. Miao Yi was no longer the youth from back then. His appearance had also changed greatly, so she couldn't recognize him at first.
It wasn't until the name 'Miao Yi', a name that was etched into her heart, personally came out of Miao Yi's mouth that she was shocked and recalled the past. From Miao Yi's facial features, she could vaguely tell that he was her neighbor in Changfeng City all those years ago, the murderer who murdered her younger brother.
Xiong Xiao was stunned. He naturally knew about this matter. At that time, Chun Xue had been grieving for a long time because of this. He had even urged the Changfeng City Lord to apprehend the murderer with all his might in order to appease Chun Xue. However, that brat had escaped too quickly at that time, so he wasn't caught.
He was somewhat bewildered as he asked, "You're certain that this Miao Yi is the murderer who murdered your younger brother?"
Chun Xue choked with sobs as she nodded. "It's him. I would recognize him even if he turned into ashes. It's already been so long, so Chun Xue doesn't want to argue about it anymore. It's just that when I think of my pitiful younger brother, Chun Xue still finds it hard to bear the grief in my heart. "
In the midst of her grief, she quietly observed the Cave Master's reaction.
Xiong Xiao was silent. If it were any other time, he could definitely kill a White Lotus First Grade cultivator on the spot. It wouldn't be a big deal. However, this Miao Yi had already entered the discerning eyes of Mountain Chieftain Yang Qing. It was obvious that he had obtained the Mountain Chieftain's favor, so it wasn't a good idea to act recklessly. Losing Yang Qing's face wouldn't do him any good either.
"I have my own plans for this matter. I will definitely give you justice."
Xiong Xiao patted her on the back, and the two of them left the waterside pavilion together.
As luck would have it, when they arrived outside the Grand Hall, the expressionless Qin Weiwei just happened to lead Miao Yi over.
Xiong Xiao took the initiative to cup his fists towards Qin Weiwei. Even though his cultivation was much higher than Qin Weiwei's, Qin Weiwei was Yang Qing's adopted daughter. She was an orphan that Yang Qing had picked up from the roadside in his early years, and had always been raised by Yang Qing's side since she was still a baby. Qin Weiwei could be said to be Yang Qing's most trusted aide, so Xiong Xiao couldn't afford to slight her.
Qin Weiwei returned his greeting, and led Miao Yi up the steps of the Transient Light Hall. Yang Qing wanted to summon Miao Yi.
Xiong Xiao's flickering gaze shifted from Miao Yi's face to Chun Xue's, who was biting her lips in silence.
Miao Yi also met Chun Xue face to face. Even though the two of them were neighbors in their early years, and he also knew Chun Xue in her early years, but when Chun Xue was sent away to be an Immortal's handmaiden, she was only fifteen years old. Now, Chun Xue was already close to thirty years old. As the saying goes, a woman changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood, and her changes were much greater than a man's. How could Miao Yi still recognize her? He also wouldn't think that she was Head Guard Huang's daughter.
Xiong Xiao didn't say anything. He left Chun Xue behind, and also headed straight for the Transient Light Grand Hall.
Chun Xue didn't have the qualifications to enter the Mountain Chieftain's meeting, so she could only go to the place where the followers were supposed to be.
Inside the Grand Hall, Yang Qing sat high up, while the Cave Masters of Mount Shaotai, as well as the School of Blue Jade disciples, stood on either side. After Xiong Xiao paid his respects to Yang Qing, he cast a glance at Miao Yi, who was standing alone in the center of the Grand Hall. He then turned around and stood at his own position.
"Are the injuries on your body a hindrance?"
Clad in armor, Yang Qing sat high up, and looked at Miao Yi, who was standing below him, with a concerned smile on his face.
Miao Yi cupped his hands, which were split open between his thumb and forefinger, revealing fresh flesh and bloodstains. He replied, "It's not a hindrance."
The aloof Yang Qing dismissed it with a laugh. With a flip of his palm, the storage ring on his middle finger flashed with a faint light. A nine-branched, nine-leafed Jasper Branch and Jade Leaf floated in his palm, surrounded by specks of starlight. It was extremely beautiful.
Miao Yi wasn't unfamiliar with this item. It was the Glorious Star immortal herb.
He saw Yang Qing open his mouth and blow. The specks of starlight on the Jasper Branch and Jade Leaf immediately turned into two wisps of nebula, floating towards Miao Yi's hands.
Miao Yi was startled. The specks of starlight that blew over had already adhered to the torn open wounds between his thumb and forefinger. A refreshing coolness quickly spread from the wounds on both his hands. As the specks of starlight slowly seeped into the wounds, the torn open wounds between his thumbs and forefingers began to heal at a visible speed.
In just a short while, the wounds had already healed to their original state, greatly surprising Miao Yi. It was said that the Glorious Star immortal herb was a sacred healing medicine that was regarded as a treasure in the cultivation world. He didn't expect its effects to be so unimaginable.
