Yan Xiu sighed, "You let Song Fu, a White Lotus Third Grade cultivator, guard the mountain gate. Isn't that a little too much?"
"If I don't let him guard the mountain gate, are you going to let the three of you go? We are all brothers from Transient Light Cave. I can't do such a heartless thing. "
After saying that, Miao Yi also felt that his words were a little too hypocritical. He chuckled, "I was born in the streets. I don't know much, but when dealing with people who don't know what's good for them, if you back down, they will be arrogant. Just you wait, I'll take care of whoever doesn't behave. If I can't even handle them, then I don't need to be a Cave Master anymore. "
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They couldn't say that Miao Yi didn't know the gravity of the situation.
Yan Xiu could only remind him again, "Cave Master, I'm afraid Song Fu might not be willing to guard the mountain gate."
The meaning behind his words was to tell Miao Yi, 'If Song Fu doesn't take your words seriously and doesn't go guard the mountain gate, or if he wants to go, then he doesn't go. What can you do to him? I'm afraid that when the time comes, you, the one who gave the order, will be the one who can't back down. '
"How can I not see that? If he is willing to guard the mountain gate, then I really don't need to ask him to go."
Miao Yi coldly snorted and raised his eyebrows. After a moment of silence, he came back to his senses and saw the three of them staring at him in a daze, trying to figure out his intentions. He coughed and went back to the main topic, "Did anything happen in East Arrival Cave while I was away?"
"Other than those fellows being a little troublesome, nothing really happened …" Yan Xiu reported the recent situation. He then took out the report sent by the City Lord of East Arrival City from his sleeves and handed it over with both hands.
Miao Yi received it, and sat in his seat, flipping it open to take a closer look. The opening was filled with flattering words, while the latter part described the geography of East Arrival City, as well as the customs and customs of the land under East Arrival City's jurisdiction. Towards the end, there was an important introduction on the number of followers. It was obvious that he knew the Cave Master was most concerned about this, because it was related to the annual payment of Orbs of Will.
Seeing that the number of people had increased compared to last year, and that the City Lord had solemnly guaranteed that this year's Orbs of Will would definitely be collected, Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief and closed the report. He then tossed it back to Yan Xiu and said, "Make some changes and copy it on a jade archive. The Mountain Chieftain is waiting for this."
This was something that Qin Weiwei had specifically instructed him to do before he came, because Qin Weiwei also wanted to understand the situation under her rule. When the time came, the entire situation of Mount Calming Sea had to be reported to Yang Qing. After Yang Qing had taken control of South Edict's situation, he also had to personally go to the Hall Master to give an explanation, or perhaps a guarantee. You can't just snatch the territory and act like nothing happened. To put it bluntly, you have to ensure that the benefits of the Hall Master's side won't be affected.
"Understood!" After Yan Xiu cupped his fists and accepted his orders, he switched to a more relaxed topic, "Cave Master, the City Lord of East Arrival City has prepared a small token of appreciation, and wishes to pay you a visit. He has meticulously prepared two handmaidens for you, and I personally went to pick them for you. Do you want to have them send them over for you to take a look? If it's not suitable, it's better to change it to something that suits you. "
"That's very kind of you! But we haven't settled our own internal affairs yet, so it's not time to enjoy ourselves yet. Let's put it aside for now. Qiu Shaoqun, I have something for you to do. "Miao Yi beckoned Qiu Shaoqun over.
Qiu Shaoqun immediately walked to the side to receive his orders. Miao Yi didn't hide it from the other two, and whispered a few words to Qiu Shaoqun.
As they listened, the expressions on their faces gradually changed. In the end, Qiu Shaoqun couldn't help but let out an 'ah', and with a bitter expression, he said, "Cave Master, doing this … I'm afraid it's not very good, is it?"
Miao Yi let out an 'oh', and cast him a sidelong glance. He said in an indifferent tone, "If you don't want to do it, then forget it. I won't force you, and I won't trouble you again in the future. You can go now. I don't believe that I can't take care of those bastards with the Manor Head backing me up."
"I …" Qiu Shaoqun was a little bewildered. The meaning behind the Cave Master's words was for him to stand aside from now on. In the end, he clenched his teeth, and cupped his fists to express his loyalty, "Cave Master, this subordinate doesn't mean it that way. This subordinate just feels that smashing my own mountain gate is a little inappropriate. But since the Cave Master has made such a decision, this subordinate will naturally obey!"
"That's more like it. We're a family, so why be so polite? Come, come, three heads are better than one. Let's discuss this together again! "
Miao Yi waved his hand once again, and called Yan Xiu and Dan Biaoyi over. The few of them met together and whispered, and no one knew what they were plotting.
In any case, after the matter was settled, Yan Xiu, Dan Biaoyi and Qiu Shaoqun all looked at each other, as though they were in a state of trepidation.
Especially Yan Xiu, who looked at Miao Yi with a somewhat complicated gaze. He thought to himself, 'No wonder he could stand out. It wasn't without reason. Just the ruthlessness with which he dealt with the problem was something he couldn't compare to.'
That night, outside the East Arrival Grand Hall, Charcoal, who was lying on the ground dozing off, would occasionally swing his snake tail, hitting the ground loudly.
Inside the Grand Hall, a candle torch as thick as a child's arm was swaying.
A plate of wine and dishes were placed on a low table. They looked and smelled great, and were personally prepared by Yan Xiu. To this former drunkard, cooking was his forte.
The Cave Master did not stick to his usual style, and displayed an amiable attitude. He sat on the ground, and raised his cup to drink with his two subordinates.
Not long after, a slightly nervous Qiu Shaoqun dashed in, and lowered his head to whisper into Miao Yi's ear, "He's not here."
"You really don't listen to this Cave Master's words at all. Do you think you can embarrass me like this?" Miao Yi coldly snorted, and tilted his head, saying, "Do it!"
Under the gaze of Yan Xiu and Dan Biaoyi, Qiu Shaoqun steeled his heart, cupped his fists towards Miao Yi, and accepted the order. Bracing himself, he quickly turned and dashed out of the hall.
"Drink!" Miao Yi raised his cup and called out to the two.
Putting down his wine cup, Yan Xiu was still a little worried, and asked in a low voice, "What if someone finds out?"
Miao Yi casually said, "If they find out this time, there will be a next time. If you obediently guard the mountain gates well, and I can't find an excuse to make a move, then I won't pursue this matter."
Just as he finished speaking, a few loud rumbles came from the direction of the mountain gates outside.
Yan Xiu and Dan Biaoyi stood up, a little fearful.
Miao Yi picked up some food with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, his face expressionless.
In order to quickly raise his own cultivation, in order to have enough strength to find his little brother and little sister and take care of them, he had risked his life several times to sit in the position of East Arrival Cave Master. So he wouldn't allow anything to jump out and block his path.
The loud rumbles outside were only the beginning …..
Yan Xiu and Dan Biaoyi looked at Miao Yi's reaction, and saw that he was unbelievably calm, and felt a chill in their hearts. Even Yan Xiu felt as though he didn't know him anymore, and his throat moved as he swallowed.
Not long after the loud rumbles outside, Qiu Shaoqun quietly dashed in, and nodded to them, indicating that he had completed his task.
Miao Yi slammed his chopsticks on the table, stood up, and strode out of the hall.
The three of them followed behind him, and lined up outside the hall. With Miao Yi in the lead, they stopped at the entrance of the hall, and faced the waning night sky.
Not long after, several figures came upon hearing the noise, and landed outside the East Arrival Grand Hall. Each of them held a weapon, and were the bewildered Song Fu and the others.
