"Invitation card?" Wen Fang was too excited to react.
"Shameless. You're a smart person. Why are you acting like a fool now?" Miao Yi was amused. He pointed at Yan Beihong and the others and reminded, "The three of them are big clients. Aren't you going to give them a name card? What if I forget about you? "
"Uh … ah!" Wen Fang cried out in alarm and repeatedly expressed her guilt. She hurriedly took out three name cards and presented them with both hands. "I'm Wen Fang. Please take care of me, please take care of me!"
Yan Beihong and the other two burst into laughter again. They were completely amused by the way Wen Fang was behaving like a pie falling from the heavens. Even Qian'Er, Xue'Er, Hong Xiu, and Hong Fu could not help but laugh.
Wen Fang was quite embarrassed. She also knew that her table manners were a little too unsightly, but it didn't matter. She was so happy today that she could die. With this deal, she reckoned that she would definitely be the shopkeeper of the South Edict City Chamber of Commerce.
"Big Brother, I can't thank you enough. I don't have anything to thank you with. If there's a chance in the future, I will thank you again." Wen Fang cupped her hands and bowed.
Miao Yi waved his hand dismissively. He had never thought of asking for anything in return.
Wen Fang turned around and dragged Qian'Er and the other women to discuss the deal.
"They still have things to do. You can talk about it on the way back," Miao Yi called out to her.
Wen Fang was stunned. "On the way back?"
"We're leaving soon. We'll be going the same way for a while." He then turned to Qian'Er and Xue'Er and said, "You two go into the mountain and greet them."
Greeting who? The others didn't understand what he meant, but Qian'Er and Xue'Er understood tacitly. They knew that he was going to greet Yao Ruoxian, and so they left together.
Yao Ruoxian had told Miao Yi to meet him once he returned, but Miao Yi knew that old man wasn't a good person. He didn't have the time to get entangled with him now, so it was better to avoid him for now.
Miao Yi turned around and asked Yan Beihong and the others to stay for a while. Then, he left with Yan Xiu and found Qing Ju in the courtyard behind the mountain.
"Greetings, Little Auntie." Miao Yi greeted and bowed.
However, Qing Ju's words were filled with sarcasm the moment they met. "Yo! Sir Miao was about to be promoted to Manor Head. Qing Ju does not dare to accept Daren's greeting. The next time I see Daren, it will be this servant's turn to greet Daren. If Daren has anything to say, just tell me. "
Miao Yi didn't have a good impression of Qing Mei, but his impression of Qing Ju was pretty good. He smiled faintly and said, "Little Auntie, you are exaggerating. Your humble servant has already sorted out the matters in Mount Calming Sea. I am here to take over from you."
Straightened it out? After listening to Yang Qing's words, Qing Ju continued to stay here, waiting for Miao Yi to finish his move. They didn't even hear any commotion, and it was over? Could it be that the Manor Head's judgment was wrong?
Since they were going to talk business, Qing Ju turned around and extended her hand to invite him into the main hall.
After both parties took their seats, Miao Yi tilted his head and gestured to Yan Xiu. Yan Xiu immediately presented a jade archive to Qing Ju. Inside the archive was information on the governance of Mount Calming Sea's one million worshippers. This was equivalent to Miao Yi handing over the one million worshippers under his control. The main point of the handover was to hand over this thing. The source of the power of will for cultivation was highly valued by everyone.
Yan Xiu then placed a storage ring on the tea table beside Qing Ju. Another small wooden box was opened and pushed to Qing Ju's side. Only then did Yan Xiu retreat and return to Miao Yi's side.
Holding the jade archive in her hand, Qing Ju was about to examine it when she caught a glimpse of it. She saw that the small wooden box was emitting a gentle glow. After a brief estimation, Qing Ju had an idea that there were probably over a thousand Orbs of Will inside.
The corner of Qing Ju's lips curled into a teasing smile as she asked, "What is the meaning of this?"
"A thousand low-grade Orbs of Will!" Miao Yi smiled. "I am indebted to Little Auntie for taking care of me all these years. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it!"
"Oh! This is for me! A thousand orbs! That's equivalent to five years of Mount Calming Sea's harvest. " Qing Ju clicked her tongue and said, "It is said that those who can return from the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade are extremely wealthy. I have finally seen it for myself today. Is this storage ring for me as well? What kind of treasures are stored inside? "
Miao Yi calmly replied, "This is something that I have to trouble Little Auntie to present to Manor Head."
"Oh," Qing Ju replied. She casually picked up the storage ring on the coffee table and injected her transcendence energy to check it. His expression changed drastically when he took a closer look. There was a huge pile of heads inside. After a brief examination, he realized that they were the heads of the disciples of Mount Calming Sea's three major sects that he had seen before!
Qing Ju abruptly stood up and exclaimed, "What do you mean by this?"
Miao Yi stood up and said calmly, "Miao Yi will head to the Sea of Constellations. While he was away from Mount Calming Sea, the disciples of the three major sects in Mount Calming Sea rebelled, conspired against the law, and disobeyed orders. As the Mountain Chieftain, Miao Yi naturally couldn't ignore them after he returned. He was merely acting according to the law! "
Qing Ju quickly injected her transcendence energy to check the skulls inside. There were more than ninety of them. She was by Yang Qing's side, so she was very clear about the number of people in the two manors. She was also very clear about how many disciples of the three major sects were in Mount Calming Sea. She raised her head in disbelief and asked, "You killed all the disciples of the three major sects in Mount Calming Sea?"
"Understood!" Miao Yi nodded.
Qing Ju shouted angrily, "Miao Yi! Are you out of your mind? There are some things that everyone is well aware of. It's enough for you to just kill a few to vent your anger. The Manor Head will also be able to explain himself! You killed all of them. If the people of the three major sects were to swallow this, where would their dignity be? How could they let you go?! When the time comes, even the Manor Head won't be able to protect you. Do you really think that just because you've just returned from the Sea of Constellations and the Overlord wants to summon you, no one will dare to punish you for the crime of killing the innocent? The Sect Masters of the three major sects are people who can meet the Overlord directly. They are many times stronger than you! Do you really think that your subordinates are meat on the chopping block? That you can chop them up however you want? What do you think the rules of the Celestial Nation are? If everyone does as you do, wouldn't the cultivation realm be thrown into chaos?! "
"Little Auntie, you're exaggerating!" Miao Yi said solemnly, "If one day the Manor Head is away on an errand and orders you and Elder Auntie Qing Mei to temporarily take over as Manor Head, your subordinates see you as nothing. Not only did they not greet you or pay their respects, but they even blatantly ridicule your looks. I wonder how the Manor Head will deal with this once he finds out? If the people below didn't report to you, but instead reported to the people of the three major sects, and then disregarded the decrees of the two Aunties, colluded with each other to seize power, and even dragged the two Aunties to drink with them. After that, they even prepared to send the two Aunties to serve others. What would the Manor Head do if he found out? Killing all of these people would be considered a light punishment. I only regret that I killed too little! "
Qing Ju was taken aback. She sighed, "I understand how you feel, but there are some things that are not irredeemable. Just bear with it and it will all be over!"
"Bear with it? I have to bear with the people I can't win against, and I have to bear with the people I can win against. Then why should I, Miao Yi, be the Mountain Chieftain on both sides? I might as well go back and be my Steed Deputy. At least I won't have anyone to bear with me! "
"What's the point of saying such angry words? Have you never thought about the consequences of your actions?"
"Miao Yi is not someone who only knows how to show off. I have testimonies in my hands. If I can't even kill those who rebel against my superiors, conspire against the law, and defy orders, then the cultivation realm will truly descend into chaos!"
"Testimonies?" Qing Ju suddenly sneered. Her face was filled with ridicule as she said, "Oh! I remember now. There are also those people from the School of Blue Jade. You can't be so naive as to think that their testimonies will be of any use, right? The people of the three major sects can totally accuse them of being in cahoots with you, because you were the one who pulled them into Mount Calming Sea in the first place. They can easily exclude the testimonies of the School of Blue Jade disciples. When that happens, you'll be the one to suffer! Once the situation goes awry, do you think you can count on those people from the School of Blue Jade not to betray you? When that time comes, your only fate is death! "
As she said this, her face was filled with pain. "Miao Yi! Are you stupid?! You have such a bright future ahead of you. Why can't you just bear with it? Don't you men say that it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge? Why are you in such a hurry? I want to see how you're going to clean up this mess now! "
"Miao Yi understands Little Auntie's intentions." Miao Yi nodded and took out a pile of jade archives. "I was going to trouble Little Auntie to present these to Manor Head. Why don't Little Auntie take a look at these first before criticizing Miao Yi?"
They were none other than the testimonies of the three major sects' disciples accusing each other.
Qing Ju read through them one by one. The more she read, the more astonished she became. In the end, she exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible? How could the disciples of the three major sects possibly testify against each other? "
Miao Yi asked, "Could it be that Little Auntie believes that I have the ability to fake their transcendent seals? I don't think even the Six Sages can do that, right? Little Auntie, take a good look. Not only are there accusations from the School of Blue Jade, but there are even more accusations from the three major sects themselves. Everyone in Mount Calming Sea has admitted to the truth. There is not a single piece of irrefutable evidence. May I ask if this can shut the mouths of the three major sects? "
Qing Ju was speechless. "How did you do it?"
Miao Yi didn't answer her question and said, "I won't hide it from Little Auntie. I only asked Little Auntie to present half of it to Manor Head. To avoid any accidents, I will bring the other half to Suppressing Second Hall to seek justice! I hope Little Auntie will inform Manor Head and ask him to handle this matter impartially! "What he meant was that he didn't want Yang Qing to be affected by the influence of the three major sects. 'I still have a backup plan!'
He was even on guard against Yang Qing now! Qing Ju's expression twitched. She asked again, "How did you do it? How could they possibly seek their own deaths?! "
There was no need to explain this! Miao Yi cupped his fists and said, "If Little Auntie has no further questions, please sign the handover document. Suppressing Second Hall is still waiting for me to report in!"
Qing Ju stared at Miao Yi for a while with a complicated expression. To be honest, she had always hoped that Miao Yi and Qin Weiwei would be together. She felt that the two of them were quite compatible. Moreover, Miao Yi had just returned from the Sea of Constellations and was about to ascend to the position of Manor Head at such a young age. He was in no way inferior to Yang Qing, so she believed that her thoughts were correct. But now, she suddenly understood Yang Qing's feelings very well. This time, Miao Yi had caused her heart to palpitate with fear. What parent would dare to hand their daughter over to such a restless man?!
She had personally witnessed this guy climb up step by step. From now on, he would no longer be under Yang Qing's control. He would spread his wings and soar. She didn't know if he would be able to fly higher and further in the end, or if his wings would break and he would fall in the near future. Either way, once he left, she didn't know where he would end up. It would be difficult for him to meet Qin Weiwei again. Perhaps it would be better for the two of them to break off!
