After looking around for a long time, he rode Charcoal in a circle around the mountain gates. He repeatedly went in and out, but no one came to stop him. There really wasn't even a ghost's shadow.
Was this place where anyone could enter really his territory?
Or was Qin Weiwei playing with him, purposely making him a Cave Master without any followers?
The Great Cave Master Miao's expression darkened. The good mood of being a new official turned into a bubble. He suddenly roared in anger, "Is there anyone still alive? Get the hell out here!"
He invoked his arts and roared, his voice shaking the mountains and plains, scaring the birds in the forest into fleeing in all directions.
Fortunately, the situation wasn't as bad as he thought. Very quickly, three silhouettes heard the roar and quickly came out.
The leader was none other than Yan Xiu. Miao Yi also knew the other two. They were also Transient Light Cave's surrendered soldiers. They were the two White Lotus Second Grade cultivators who had surrendered at Transient Light Cave. One was called Dan Biaoyi, the other Qiu Shaoqun. It could be said that they were all Transient Light Cave's surrendered soldiers to Yang Qing.
When both sides met, they were both stunned.
Yan Xiu's gaze fell on the storage ring on Miao Yi's finger. With a face full of smiles, he cupped his fists and asked, "Is the new Cave Master appointed?"
"Senior Yan?" Miao Yi had a strange expression on his face. Didn't Qin Weiwei refuse to give Yan Xiu to him? Why was he here? Naturally, he asked, "Why are you here?"
Yan Xiu turned around and pointed at the other two, smiling, "Mountain Chieftain asked me to bring the two of them here to temporarily watch over East Arrival Cave. When the new Cave Master is appointed, I believe the new Cave Master will be you."
"What the hell is that b * tch up to? Is it fun to toy with people?" Miao Yi rolled his eyes.
He didn't know that if Yang Qing could let Qin Weiwei oversee Mount Calming Sea, how could Qin Weiwei mess around with official business? Even though she was very unhappy with Miao Yi, she wouldn't delay official business. She was also worried that Miao Yi's cultivation was too low, and that he wouldn't be able to control his subordinates by overseeing East Arrival Cave. Hence, she specially sent Yan Xiu, who was on good terms with Miao Yi, over, and appointed Yan Xiu to temporarily oversee East Arrival Cave. Even the other two surrendered soldiers of Transient Light Cave, Dan Biaoyi and Qiu Shaoqun, were also sent over. She hoped that Miao Yi would have a few more close people by his side, and wouldn't let anything happen to East Arrival Cave.
Yan Xiu asked curiously, "Which bitch?"
"Uh …" Miao Yi swept a glance at Dan Biaoyi and Qiu Shaoqun, and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. It was not good to speak ill of Mountain Chieftain Qin Weiwei in front of outsiders, so he casually said, "It's nothing."
Yan Xiu immediately understood from his reaction, and could roughly guess which despicable person he was referring to. He also knew that Miao Yi did not have a good relationship with that person, and that there were some things he could not say in front of Dan Biaoyi and Qiu Shaoqun. He immediately cupped his fists and changed the topic, "Is it the new Cave Master? If so, please take out the Mountain Chieftain's personal order to verify it. Yan Xiu will then be able to carry out the handover of East Arrival Cave. "
Miao Yi flicked out a jade archive from the storage ring on his middle finger, and it fell into Yan Xiu's hand. After Yan Xiu looked through it, he nodded to the other two. The three of them immediately stood in a row, and bowed in unison, saying, "Your subordinates greet the Cave Master!"
If this was before, when Miao Yi was still the Transient Light Cave Steed Deputy, Dan Biaoyi and Qiu Shaoqun would not have paid any attention to Miao Yi. But now it was different. During the battle at Transient Light Cave, the two of them had already witnessed Miao Yi's strength. He had single-handedly killed three White Lotus Second Grade cultivators, and one White Lotus Third Grade cultivator. Furthermore, even when five of them joined forces, they were still unable to defeat Miao Yi. The two of them had no choice but to lower their heads, and could only be respectful at this moment.
Sitting on Charcoal's back, Miao Yi's face immediately broke into a smile, and he extended his hand to help him up, saying, "Senior Yan, the three of you need not be so courteous."
"Cave Master does not dare to address your subordinate in such a manner." Yan Xiu said seriously, "Everyone has their own status. From now on, Cave Master can just address your subordinate as Yan Xiu."
Miao Yi chuckled, but when he looked to his left and right, his expression darkened again. He pointed at the unguarded mountain gate and asked, "What is going on here? Why isn't there even a guard? Don't tell me my East Arrival Cave only exists in name only, and anyone can come and go as they please? If we don't even know that a thief has stolen something and left, then what are we doing here? Yan Xiu, the Mountain Chieftain let you temporarily manage East Arrival Cave, and this is how you manage it? "
The words he said were a little rude. It wasn't that he didn't want to give Yan Xiu face, but this matter had gone too far. If this continued, they wouldn't even know when someone would suddenly attack. Yan Xiu's muddle-headed way of handling things made him very unhappy.
"Cave Master, Sir, you have really wronged your subordinate." Yan Xiu explained with a bitter expression.
There was no other reason. The entire South Edict Manor had ten mountains, and required at least one thousand and one hundred cultivators to keep watch. And after Yang Qing conquered South Edict, his territory had suddenly expanded, and the troops and horses under his command were simply not enough. Most of the troops were made up by the School of Blue Jade's disciples, according to the agreement he had with the School of Blue Jade.
East Arrival Cave was no exception. Before Miao Yi came, other than Yan Xiu, Dan Biaoyi and Qiu Shaoqun, the other seven were all School of Blue Jade disciples. Three of them had a cultivation at White Lotus Third Grade, while the other four had a cultivation at White Lotus Second Grade.
Even though Yan Xiu had been ordered to temporarily manage East Arrival Cave, those seven were all disciples of the same sect, and could be said to be in cahoots with each other. Adding on to the fact that they had the advantage in numbers, they simply didn't care about Yan Xiu at all.
Yan Xiu had transferred people from among them to guard the gate, tend the horses and take care of the miscellaneous items, but they didn't care at all. Instead, Yan Xiu and the other two were forced to tend the horses, do the chores, and even prepare meals for them. Who would have the free time to guard the mountain gate here?
Originally, the City Lord of East Arrival City had wanted to present some manpower or items to Miao Yi, but Yan Xiu knew that once the items were delivered, they would definitely be divided up cleanly by these people. When that time came, regardless of whether the new Cave Master was Miao Yi or not, he wouldn't be able to answer to the new Cave Master. Thus, Yan Xiu secretly threatened the City Lord, saying that he had to wait for the Cave Master to arrive before making a decision. Otherwise, the Cave Master wouldn't spare the City Lord.
As they were talking, there were seven people dressed in blue inside. After hearing the commotion, they walked out slowly and unhurriedly, unlike Yan Xiu and the other two who had dashed over in a flash.
Miao Yi, who sat upright on his dragon steed, narrowed his eyes as he looked at these people, a glint in his eyes seeping out. Both of his hands were placed on his abdomen, and his middle finger with the storage ring on it was lightly tapping his knuckles. No one knew what he was thinking.
Yan Xiu and the other two seemed to be a little afraid of these people. Yan Xiu didn't dare to speak openly, and directly introduced these people to Miao Yi through voice transmission.
The first three people who swaggered over were called Song Fu, Wang Zifa, and Zhu Tianbiao. They didn't look young, especially Song Fu, who was practically an old man. He looked even older than Yan Xiu, but they all had a cultivation at White Lotus Third Grade.
The four people behind the three of them all had a cultivation at White Lotus Second Grade. They were called Shang Youlai, Hou Sheng, Wang Xiuqin, and Nan Sisi. The two behind them were women.
Seeing Miao Yi sitting upright on his dragon steed, and the storage ring on Miao Yi's hand, in addition to the reactions of Yan Xiu and the others, Song Fu and the other two looked at each other. They already knew what was going on, and the ridicule in their eyes was hard to conceal. A brat with a cultivation at White Lotus First Grade actually wanted to be their Cave Master. What a joke, did he really think the School of Blue Jade was easy to bully?
