"He doesn't even care about Milord?" Qing Mei questioned and said expressionlessly, "Did he forget who raised him up single-handedly? If not for Milord, he would have been a dead man back at Transient Light Cave. "
"There's no point in saying all this. He also worked for me. There's no such thing as owing anyone. It's all in the past! Transient Light Cave … "Yang Qing sighed," Time really flies! In just a few decades, a Steed Deputy of a small Cave is now on equal footing with me. When I was his age, I wasn't even a Cave Master. At that time, the two of you hadn't followed me yet. I've always admired this kid's abilities, but I never expected him to make a name for himself so quickly. I never thought that the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade would help him. Now that he has caught the eye of the Palace Lord, he can be considered to have flown up the tree branch! "
Qing Ju probed, "Will he blame Manor Head for not taking care of his people?"
"Blame me? How do you expect me to take care of them? If I didn't turn a blind eye behind the scenes, how could those two little girls, who have already become mere figureheads, survive in Mount Calming Sea for ten years? He, Miao Yi, has offended everyone from the three major sects and caused such trouble. Do I still have to offend people for someone who might not even come back alive? Our two Manors have more than just Mount Calming Sea. I can't ignore the bigger picture of our two Manors for the sake of Mount Calming Sea! " Yang Qing said indifferently, "Don't worry. That kid isn't the kind of person who doesn't know how to think in a roundabout way."
Mount Calming Sea. After staying for half a month, Shen Fenghua finally left. He couldn't possibly stay in Mount Calming Sea forever.
After finally sending off that annoying guy, Qian'Er and Xue'Er heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them went deep into the mountains to find Yao Ruoxian, and told him the good news of Miao Yi's imminent return.
Yao Ruoxian originally wanted to persuade the two girls to follow him, but was stunned when he heard the news. "That kid actually came back alive?"
He didn't think Miao Yi could come back alive. If it weren't for the fact that he was afraid of making the two girls sad, he wouldn't have even given those thirty-five tiny mantids to Miao Yi.
Xue'Er proudly told him, "In the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, Master was ranked tenth!"
"Tenth!" Yao Ruoxian was very surprised, but soon waved his hands in excitement. "Wahaha! That kid must have brought a lot of good stuff back! Girl, when that kid comes back, tell him to come see me immediately! "
Shen Fenghua had just left. Who would have thought that just two days later, another Deacon Fan from Suppressing Second Hall would arrive as well, causing the entire Mount Calming Sea to receive him warmly.
However, this Deacon Fan's character was much better than Shen Fenghua's. He was amiable to everyone. He maintained a courteous attitude towards Qian'Er and Xue'Er as well. When he had nothing to do, he would drag Zhou Huan and the other two to various caves in Mount Calming Sea for a stroll. The three of them were at a critical juncture in the competition for the position of Mountain Chieftain, so he was more than happy to entertain them.
No one in Mount Calming Sea could tell that Deacon Fan Zizhang had come with the Hall Master of Suppressing Second Hall's decree of reorganization. They only thought that he was here to enjoy himself.
As a matter of fact, within the entire territory of Suppressing Second Hall. Not many people knew about Fan Zizhang's mission. If Fan Zizhang did not tell Yang Qing, Yang Qing would not know. The reason why Huo Lingxiao could bypass the Advisors and directly instruct the Deacon to handle this matter was because he didn't want to make this matter too public. After all, this matter involved the Palace Lord. Moreover, how could a Hall Master flatter a Mountain Chieftain?
Huo Lingxiao really didn't want to do such a thing. However, the Palace Lord had pushed the responsibility of convincing Miao Yi to stay in Traversing Moon Palace onto him. There was nothing he could do.
The Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade had ended a long time ago. The news of the survivors' return had to be made public eventually. The Fifth Earthly Branch's Overlord also intended to let everyone know of the Fifth Earthly Branch's impressive results.
The news reached South Edict Manor. The Mountain Chieftain of Mount Calming Sea, Miao Yi, had actually returned alive? And he was even ranked tenth!
Especially in Mount Calming Sea. Countless people were panicking like ants on a hot pan.
"He actually came back alive …" Tian Qingfeng stood in his cultivation manor in a daze. He then stood absent-mindedly in the courtyard for an entire day.
Zhou Huan, Mao Yifan, and Liu Qian were still accompanying Deacon Fan on a tour of the Immortal's Abode below. They were currently on a boat on a sparkling lake, and when they received the news from their fellow disciples in the Immortal's Abode, they were also anxious. The three of them were in a hurry to return and think of a way to save themselves.
However, Fan Zizhang pulled them back. "Are you not willing to accompany this Deacon?"
Beside him, Zhou Huan laughed dryly and said, "The Mountain Chieftain is about to return. We have to make preparations to welcome him. Otherwise, it would be rude of us."
Fan Zizhang pretended not to know about their trivial matters and said, "What's the rush? Your Mountain Chieftain hasn't returned yet, has he? I think you guys are still looking down on this Deacon. Do you think I'm inferior to a mere Mountain Chieftain like him? "
The three of them were extremely anxious, but they couldn't afford to offend him. Liu Qian knew full well what she had said to Qian'Er and Xue'Er back then. They braced themselves and said, "I won't hide it from Deacon. During the Mountain Chieftain's absence, we have offended his two handmaidens. If we don't make preparations in advance, I'm afraid the Mountain Chieftain will not let us off once he returns. "
"So that's how it is!" Fan Zizhang suddenly burst into laughter and said, "You guys are worrying too much. I guarantee that you will be safe this time!"
The three of them looked at each other and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
Fan Zizhang shook his head and smiled. "To tell you the truth, I already knew that your Mountain Chieftain would be returning before I came. I don't mind telling you guys a little. Miao Yi will soon be transferred out of South Edict Manor and promoted to a Manor Head somewhere else. Why should you be afraid of someone who is about to leave? "
The three of them were surprised and overjoyed at the same time. Liu Qian was still uneasy as she asked, "But what if he attacks us before he leaves?"
Fan Zizhang laughed coldly and said, "Don't worry, all of you. Don't tell me you think I'm only here for a routine inspection? I don't mind telling you this. I'm here with the Hall Chieftain's decree. If I want to protect the three of you, do you think Miao Yi would dare to go against the Hall Chieftain? Of course, if the three of you want to seek help from someone else, I won't hold you back either. Please go ahead! "
The three of them were overjoyed. They immediately apologized profusely and served Miao Yi even more diligently...
Shen Fenghua, who was in Suppressing Second Hall, was also a little surprised when he heard the news. Miao Yi had actually returned? However, he managed to get some information out of Huo Lingxiao and found out that Miao Yi was about to be transferred out. As such, he didn't think too much of it. As long as he stayed in Suppressing Second Hall, Miao Yi wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
He then sent someone to inform Zhou Huan and the others that Miao Yi was about to be transferred out of South Edict Manor. He also told them not to panic and to just hold on! Once Miao Yi left, everything would be over.
Of course, he didn't count on Zhou Huan and the others. He still had to focus on Huo Lingxiao. As long as Huo Lingxiao was happy, he didn't think a mere Miao Yi would be able to do anything to him. For now, he did everything he could to please Huo Lingxiao. He couldn't let Tian Yu and Liu Xing fall behind either.
After receiving confirmation from Shen Fenghua that Miao Yi was about to be transferred out of South Edict Manor, and with Fan Zizhang keeping watch over Miao Yi, Zhou Huan and the others were relieved. They quickly replied to Shen Fenghua, telling him not to worry. The three major sects weren't to be trifled with. Miao Yi wouldn't dare to do anything to them.
They didn't mention that he was two-timing and had even hooked up with Fan Zizhang. Anyone who wasn't an idiot would do something like that.
When Shen Fenghua received the reply and saw how confident the three of them were, he also felt reassured. It was a pity that he had let the two women from Mount Calming Sea go.
Back at Mount Calming Sea, Qian'Er and Xue'Er could clearly sense the changes in the mountain. Their Master hadn't returned yet, but the news that he was about to return came back. Everyone in Mount Calming Sea was now polite to them, and they would come running to ask for instructions from time to time.
Even the Cave Masters, who had been told by Zhou Huan and the others not to panic, also reported the situation to their superiors. They didn't want things to escalate to the point where there was no way out.
Yan Xiu, who was assisting the two ladies, finally felt the power of Miao Yi's presence. He hadn't even returned yet, and yet he was already making those rascals restless.
At South Edict Manor, a few riders charged into the mountain gates. Dressed in a white dress, Qin Weiwei jumped off her steed, asked where the Manor Head was, and went straight to the back of the mountain.
At the back of the mountain, she saw Yang Qing sitting cross-legged and meditating by himself. After paying her respects, she immediately asked, "Father. Is the news of Miao Yi's return true?"
Yang Qing got off the couch and stood up. He nodded and said, "It's true."
Qin Weiwei's eyes flickered, and she asked, "Did you already know?" What she was implying was, 'Why didn't you tell me earlier?'
Yang Qing frowned deeply. "You're a Mountain Chieftain. You came all the way back just to ask about this?"
Qin Weiwei averted her gaze. "He and I are friends. I'm just concerned."
"Friends?" Yang Qing gave her a sidelong glance and walked to the railing. He calmly said, "It's normal for friends to be concerned for each other. There's no need to feel guilty. Also, let me tell you, Miao Yi has obtained the Palace Lord's favor. After he returns, he will be transferred out of Suppressing Second Hall and promoted to another place as a Manor Head. In the future, he will have nothing to do with South Edict Manor. The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be destroyed by the wind. Now that the distance is too far, it's not a bad thing to interact less. It's fine to just maintain a normal friendship. That way, you won't be implicated. "
There was a faint hint of persuasion in his words.
Transferred out of Suppressing Second Hall to be a Manor Head? Qin Weiwei's body trembled slightly. She bit her lip and remained silent.
Yang Qing tilted his head and glanced at his daughter. He knew that his daughter hadn't given up when she arrived. It wasn't that he hated Miao Yi that much, but based on his experience, even though Miao Yi was in the limelight now, the risk factor he carried was too high. It was only a matter of time before something happened to him. He couldn't be bothered to care about other people's daughters, but he couldn't possibly push his own daughter into the fire pit...
A month later, Miao Yi's return date was nearing. Yang Qing gave Miao Yi a lot of face. Not only did he gather all the Mountain Chieftains under his command, he even personally led his troops to Mount Calming Sea to welcome Miao Yi.
Along the way, he met Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who were leading their troops to welcome him. The Cave Masters of Mount Calming Sea had also arrived. Since a Mountain Chieftain had returned, they naturally had to welcome him.
