After waiting for a while, seeing that Qin Weiwei was still in a daze, Hong Mian tried to ask softly, "Mountain Chieftain. Did something happen to East Arrival Cave?"
"..." Qin Weiwei snapped out of her daze, but her thoughts were still a little chaotic. She didn't know what to say, so she gently raised her hand and said, "Take a look. Help me analyze what's going on over at East Arrival Cave."
Because of her identity as a maidservant, without the Mountain Chieftain's permission, the two of them did not dare to look at such things.
Because of the way Qin Weiwei had lost her composure, the two of them wanted to know what was written in the jade archive. Now that the Mountain Chieftain had spoken, the two of them couldn't wait to take a look at the jade archive.
They wouldn't know if they didn't see it, but after seeing it, the two women were also confused.
After the two women exchanged glances with each other, they clearly had the same doubts as Qin Weiwei. They were worried that it might be fake, so they checked it once more, then twice.
However, the ten memorials were obviously written by ten people with different magical powers. The signatures and magical seals cast by spells could not be faked. It was like everyone's fingerprints.
In the end, Lu Liu, who was hugging the jade archive, said in a daze, "That Cave Master Miao is so powerful! In just one night, he subdued the entire East Arrival Cave! "
Qin Weiwei, who was deep in thought, could not help but roll her eyes when she heard that. She turned around and said mockingly, "With his cultivation, do you think it's possible?"
Hong Mian mumbled, "It's a little strange indeed!"
The two of them had been by Qin Weiwei's side for a long time, so they were well aware of the current situation in South Edict Manor.
To Manor Head Yang Qing, bringing the School of Blue Jade under his rule was tantamount to inviting a wolf into his house.
In the beginning, Yang Qing was not in a hurry to rebel. He wanted to slowly accumulate his strength, but the former Manor Head, Lu Yu, could not watch Yang Qing grow stronger, so he issued a decree to transfer Yang Qing to his side, wanting to make him a mere figurehead.
Yang Qing knew that once he went to Lu Yu's side, Lu Yu would no longer give him a chance to stand out.
It was precisely because of Lu Yu's actions that Yang Qing had no choice but to make a prompt decision and agree to cooperate with the School of Blue Jade, killing Lu Yu in one fell swoop and taking down South Edict Manor.
Although Yang Qing and the School of Blue Jade had both profited, there were some things that both sides were well aware of.
The School of Blue Jade knew that Yang Qing wasn't someone who would willingly submit to others, and would definitely think of a way to cut off the School of Blue Jade's influence on South Edict.
Yang Qing also knew that although the School of Blue Jade wouldn't dare to act recklessly now, once they used this opportunity to enter and slowly build up their relationship, they would definitely think of a way to replace Yang Qing.
The reason why Yang Qing dared to rebel was because he had built up some connections within the system these past few years. There were people by the Hall Master's side who would speak for him. Otherwise, even if Yang Qing conquered South Edict, he wouldn't be able to get the Hall Master's acknowledgement. South Edict wouldn't have a share for him, and he might even have to bear the crime of rebellion.
The reason why the School of Blue Jade didn't dare to act rashly was precisely because they lacked these connections. They didn't dare to go against the massive power structure.
But if the relationship was straightened out, the School of Blue Jade had more people under South Edict Manor's rule than Yang Qing's. If they were to make things difficult for Yang Qing, it would be very difficult for him to defend himself.
Both sides understood that their cooperation was only temporary. At most, after another fifty years, both sides might shed all pretenses of cordiality, and it would depend on who had the upper hand at that time. In short, it was either the east wind suppressing the west wind, or the west wind suppressing the east wind.
Because Yang Qing lacked manpower, although the main positions of such a large South Edict Manor were controlled by his own people, the secondary and more positions were almost all occupied by the School of Blue Jade's people.
Not only the other mountains, but Mount Calming Sea was also currently facing the same situation. Qin Weiwei was also facing the School of Blue Jade's people, who paid lip service but secretly opposed her. However, because Qin Weiwei was Yang Qing's adopted daughter, the School of Blue Jade disciples under her direct jurisdiction didn't dare to openly oppose Qin Weiwei. Now, they more or less had to give Yang Qing some face.
But the Cave Masters under Qin Weiwei didn't have this kind of face. In the memorials they sent, they all complained to Qin Weiwei, saying that the School of Blue Jade's people paid lip service but secretly opposed her, making things difficult.
The nine Cave Masters under Qin Weiwei all sent complaints, but in the end, the Cave Master with the weakest strength sent the only piece of good news.
A Cave Master with only a cultivation at White Lotus First Grade had killed a School of Blue Jade disciple with a cultivation at White Lotus Third Grade the moment he took up his post. This matter could have possibly caused a disturbance between the School of Blue Jade and Yang Qing.
But look at the result! The School of Blue Jade unanimously condemned that person named Song Fu as deserving of his punishment. They listed Song Fu's misdeeds, unanimously condemned him, and fully supported the Cave Master's actions. Even if the School of Blue Jade had any objections, they probably wouldn't have any.
Seeing this piece of good news, Qin Weiwei couldn't feel the slightest bit happy. Instead, she was filled with doubts. That bastard had just left, and in just one night, he could immediately manage the entire East Arrival Cave like an iron bucket?
Especially when the School of Blue Jade disciples were tightly united by the Great Cave Master Miao's side … What kind of joke was this? It made one feel nauseous just thinking about it.
What was this? Was this a slap to the faces of the other nine Cave Masters, or a slap to her, Mountain Chieftain Qin Weiwei's, face? Could it be that they weren't as capable as him, Cave Master Miao? Could it be that her, Qin Weiwei, not wanting Cave Master Miao to go to East Arrival Cave to take up his post was a foolish act?
But if it was a fraud, the testimonies of these people couldn't be faked!
Could it be that the person named Song Fu was really so despicable?
But how despicable did he have to be for all the School of Blue Jade disciples to find him an eyesore?
Qin Weiwei shook her head slightly, feeling that it wasn't right. No matter how despicable that Song Fu was, the School of Blue Jade disciples couldn't possibly submit memorials one by one to condemn him, and declare their support for the Great Cave Master Miao.
That bastard had just left, and his cultivation was so low. How could he have such great prestige?
Qin Weiwei wouldn't believe it even if she was beaten to death if it was said that he was subdued by the aura of a bastard.
Hong Mian and Lu Liu also knitted their brows tightly, with a puzzled look on their faces.
"I'm not going to bathe anymore. Get changed, and summon that messenger to see me!"
Qin Weiwei stood up from the water with a splash, and invoked her arts on the shore. A cloud of mist burst out from her suet body, and the water droplets on her body instantly disappeared.
The two handmaidens immediately helped her put on her clothes, shoes, and socks. Her beautiful hair was coiled up, and six snow-white jade hairpins were inserted into the shape of butterflies, locking up the coiled hair bun at the back of her head.
In the Mount Calming Sea Grand Hall, Mountain Chieftain Qin Weiwei sat high up on her throne with a cold expression on her face.
Dan Biaoyi, who was standing below, was frightened by her questions. However, no matter how Qin Weiwei asked, he insisted that it was Song Fu who disobeyed the Cave Master's orders, which led to the destruction of the mountain gates. He was also disrespectful to the Cave Master, which was why he was executed by the Cave Master as a warning to others.
Regarding the possibility of Miao Yi killing a White Lotus Third Grade cultivator, Qin Weiwei didn't need to doubt it too much. She had witnessed the battle at Transient Light Cave, and she had also heard about the matter of Miao Yi eliminating the Ghost Cultivator afterwards. Two White Lotus Third Grade cultivators had died, and only that bastard had returned after completing his mission. Therefore, it was completely possible for Miao Yi to kill Song Fu.
But she wasn't a fool. Would it be so easy to get all the School of Blue Jade disciples of East Arrival Cave to submit a petition to help Miao Yi escape responsibility?
"Dan Biaoyi, are you sure you aren't hiding anything from me?" Qin Weiwei coldly snorted as she stared below.
The people at the lower levels weren't clear about the struggles of the upper echelons. Dan Biaoyi only knew that he had personally participated in the matter of Song Fu's death. Once he admitted to it, not only would the people at East Arrival Cave not tolerate him, the people from the School of Blue Jade would also seek revenge on him. Not to mention that it was related to the multiplication of the Orbs of Will.
So even if he was beaten to death, he couldn't tell the truth. Dan Biaoyi was adamant that this was the case, which made Qin Weiwei feel a little helpless. She faintly felt that East Arrival Cave had really been turned into an iron bucket by that bastard overnight.
