"..." Miao Yi was speechless for a moment. He furrowed his brows and asked, "You are my superior. Why did you come all the way here to pay your respects to me?" With a shake of his sleeves, he cupped his fists and said, "Your humble servant greets the Mountain Chieftain."
"I wouldn't dare!" Gongsun Yu returned the greeting in a flurry. He was groaning in his heart. 'I've never seen what the Palace Master looks like, but he's here to welcome you personally. How could I not come and pay my respects?' Of all places to be a Cave Master, why did you have to come here? Don't tell me you're purposely making life difficult for me?
He was simply overthinking things. Why would Miao Yi make things difficult for him? If he hadn't met him, he would have forgotten about Gongsun Yu's existence. Based on Miao Yi's current position and the connections he had, why would he care about a mere Gongsun Yu? In the past, the Mountain Chieftains under him didn't even have the right to meet him.
Yan Xiu then waved his hand and introduced Tian Qingfeng to the side, "Milord, this is Manor Head Tian of South Edict Manor."
"Yo! He's already the Manor Lord. "
Miao Yi chuckled as he looked at Tian Qingfeng. Back then, when the School of Blue Jade was destroyed, Tian Qingfeng initially had the tendency to become Miao Yi's trusted aide. However, after Miao Yi went to the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, Tian Qingfeng decided to play it safe and was left behind in South Edict Manor. Miao Yi didn't expect him to still be able to climb his way up. Cupping his hands, he said, "Greetings, Manor Lord."
"Not at all, not at all!" Tian Qingfeng hurriedly bowed to return the gesture. He really couldn't accept such a gesture!
Two Hall Masters, a Palace Advisor, and a deacon of Jade Capital Peak's Golden Palace. He had wreaked havoc in Tempest Tavern and bathed Flowing Clouds Dune Sea in blood. Not to mention, he was his old superior. Even though he had been demoted, his strength and connections were still there. Even the Hall Master himself had come to greet him personally.
Seeing that Miao Yi had no choice but to feign civility with his subordinates, Huo Lingxiao looked up at the sky, then down at the ground. He was starting to get a little impatient. He waved his hand and said, "Alright! Feel free to do as you please. "As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Miao Yi's arm and cheerfully walked towards the official residence.
East Arrival Cave's official residence was no longer the same as before. After so many years, it had been renovated and remodeled many times. Even its layout and style had changed.
Miao Yi, who was used to living in grand and luxurious palaces, suddenly felt as though he had walked into a small farmhouse. He muttered to himself, 'Why is it so small?'
"Before I came here, I paid a visit to Suppressing Second Hall. Who would have thought that Big Brother wouldn't be here? I didn't expect him to come here. "
"Sigh! Now that you're back, how could I not come out to welcome you? "
Huo Lingxiao and Miao Yi sat in the main hall and chatted.
Tian Qingfeng and Gongsun Yu's handmaidens were cleaning the courtyard while Xue'er was directing them. Things were moved there, things that were an eyesore, and so on. She didn't know that they were the handmaidens of the Manor Head and Mountain Chieftain. In any case, when she saw the four women standing in the official residence, she immediately ordered them around. She was used to ordering people around.
She seemed to have forgotten something. There were only a few people in this tiny abode of Immortal's Cave, so how could there be so many maidservants for her to order around? Tian Qingfeng and Gongsun Yu's maidservants didn't even dare to say a single word of disobedience. They would do whatever she wanted them to do.
Qian 'Er and Xue' Er only realized the identities of these maidservants when they were bidding farewell to each other. The two of them felt rather embarrassed.
Huo Lingxiao wasn't in a good mood when he left, and Miao Yi couldn't make him happy either. This bastard was still thinking about Wu Menglan, and implicitly hoped that Miao Yi would help him attack Wu Menglan's Suppressing Third Hall and Zhao Fei's Suppressing Geng Hall. How could Miao Yi agree to this? Naturally, Huo Lingxiao left disappointed.
By the time he sent off all the guests, it was already night time. Early the next morning, Miao Yi once again sat on the Cave Master's throne of East Arrival Cave, which he hadn't sat on for a long time.
"Greetings, Cave Master!" A group of subordinates respectfully greeted him.
This was true respect, not fake respect. It could even be described as trembling with fear. The Cave Master who sat on the throne was an important figure whose name shook the world. Usually, everyone would often mention that the Deacon of Jade Capital Peak's Golden Hall came from East Arrival Cave. Usually, they would just talk about it. They never thought that Miao Yi would come back to be the Cave Master, and actually let them see him in person.
Miao Yi looked at the few little white lotuses below him, and was speechless. He wasn't used to it. He casually said a few words, and told everyone to look for Yan Xiu if they needed anything in the future. Then, he left.
Soon. Miao Yi experienced the comfort of being the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave again. There was nothing to do below him, and none of his superiors could control him. The territory was so small that he didn't have to worry about anything. The little white lotus cultivators below him were all working hard, and no one dared to slack off.
His body and mind relaxed. Miao Yi enjoyed himself for a few days. He didn't cultivate, and instead indulged himself in the scenery, enjoying Qian'Er and Xue'Er's beautiful bodies. Every day, he would enjoy the pleasures of the two girls, and the two girls would do their best to serve him.
Early in the morning, a torrential downpour woke the three of them up from their embrace on the bed. Qian'Er rested her head on Miao Yi's arm, and said gently, "Milord, it would be great if we could live like this for the rest of our lives."
Xue'Er nodded her head in agreement. She didn't want to be a marquis or a hegemon anymore. She didn't want to be a superior person anymore.
Miao Yi smiled. Some things were beyond his control. There was a price to pay for his leisure here. There was no need for him to tell the two girls what the Realm Beyond Heaven wanted him to do.
Turning around, he freed himself from the two girls' embrace, and got off the bed naked. He walked to the window barefoot, opened it, and looked at the torrential downpour outside.
As soon as the window opened, the two girls on the bed gasped in surprise. They weren't wearing any clothes, and were afraid of being seen, so they quickly covered themselves with the blankets. However, the two of them quickly hid under the quilt and started to play around. They were very happy.
Miao Yi turned around to take a look, and his interest was piqued as well. He closed the window and returned to the bed. He crawled under the blankets and began to punish the two ladies once more...
On the bed, the storm outside had also stopped. With their cheeks flushed red, the two girls began to talk about their childhood in East Arrival City.
The three of them were in high spirits, and decided to go to East Arrival City to play. They quickly got up to wash up and tidy themselves up.
He left the room and flew into the sky.
When they arrived at East Arrival City, the three of them strolled leisurely through the city after the rain. The two women, who were like goddesses in the eyes of mortals, attracted the attention of many.
With so many people watching, the three of them felt uneasy. Moreover, it started raining again. Hsiu Gan Yi? What do you mean by that? Mu Ying was startled and frightened.
With his hands behind his back, Miao Yi admired the scenery on both sides of the river. Qian'Er held an umbrella beside him to shelter him from the rain, while Xue'Er brewed tea under a charcoal fire. The drizzling willow trees in the city, and the green grass on both sides of the river. The scene was like a painting.
On the embankment, under a willow tree, a girl wrapped in a black shawl and holding an oil paper umbrella. Her face was beautiful, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears. Her back was to the river, and she stared blankly at a gatehouse, as though she was reminiscing about something.
The whispers of the passersby made her turn around to look. When she saw Miao Yi at the bow of the boat, her eyes instantly widened in disbelief.
As the boat was about to pass, the girl turned around and extended her hand, "Boatman!"
The boatman, wearing a bamboo hat and a straw cape, waved his hand and said, "The guest has booked the boat." He meant that it was inconvenient to take on other guests.
Unexpectedly, the girl immediately landed on the boat, giving the boatman a fright.
At the bow of the boat, Miao Yi and the others turned around and saw the Blue Lotus Fourth Grade mark between the girl's brows. The girl held the umbrella and smiled, "I'm hitching a ride. I hope you don't mind."
Miao Yi stared at her for a while and frowned slightly. He felt that this girl looked familiar, and couldn't help asking, "Have we met somewhere before?"
The girl walked to Qian'Er's side and gestured for her to step back. Qian'Er looked at Miao Yi, and he nodded slightly.
Qian'Er immediately stepped back, and the girl walked to Miao Yi's side. She propped up the umbrella to shield Miao Yi from the rain and took Qian'Er's place. She smiled faintly and said, "I used to be the daughter of a family on this shore. I've been away from home for many years, and this is my first time back. Everything is the same, but the people have changed. I wonder where we met before? Is Miao Yi from here as well?"
Miao Yi smiled. "No, I'm just passing through."
The girl replied, "May I ask for Miao Yi's name?"
"Jia Xian." Miao Yi swept his gaze over her. "Are you a cultivator?"
The girl nodded, admitting that she was a cultivator. "So it's Brother Jia. I believe Brother Jia is a cultivator as well."
Miao Yi nodded. "I am a fellow cultivator. May I know your name, Miss?"
"I used to be the daughter of a wealthy family on the shore, the Fang Family. My surname is Fang, and my name is Susu. Brother Jia thinks I look familiar. Have you been here before? "Fang Susu asked.
Miao Yi nodded. "I have indeed been here before, but that was many years ago. I don't remember exactly how long it has been."
Fang Susu gritted her teeth. She stared at him with her large, bright eyes and said, "Then it must be fate. It seems Brother Jia is also revisiting an old place. Why don't we travel together?"
Miao Yi smiled and nodded. "That's fine too. I couldn't ask for more than a beautiful woman to accompany me!" As he said this, he looked at the shore with the bearing of a superior. It seemed like it was only right for Fang Susu to hold an umbrella for him. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
As the boat sailed through the city, Fang Susu pointed out the history of the various historical sites and local customs to Miao Yi, proving that she was indeed from this place.
Along the way, Fang Susu kept probing Miao Yi about where he cultivated, but he avoided answering. If it were in the past, he would have told her. However, he was too famous now, so it was better not to mention it. And he wasn't interested in finding out who this Fang Susu was either.
After the rain stopped in the afternoon, the group abandoned the boat and went ashore, touring the city for two days.
Two days later, in a certain tavern, Fang Susu knocked on Miao Yi's door again. She realized that the room was already empty. She didn't even know when he had left. A jade plate was left on the table, with only a few words, saying that he had already returned, and that they would meet again if fate willed it. He didn't mention where he was going, nor did he explain anything. It was as though he was just a passerby...
When Qian'Er and Xue'Er returned to East Arrival Cave, they realized that many guests had arrived. This was because news of Miao Yi's' promotion 'to Cave Master had gradually spread. Zhao Fei and Wu Menglan had arrived on the day Miao Yi left, and had been waiting here all this time.
Some people from the major sects of the Fifth Earthly Branch had also arrived. All of them were Sect Masters, and they had brought gifts with them. It was unclear if they were here to congratulate Miao Yi on his' promotion ', or to console him. This surprised Qian'Er and Xue'Er. They guessed that more people would come later.
Unfortunately, Miao Yi didn't return. When the guests asked where he had gone, the two girls didn't know either. Miao Yi only said that he had some matters to attend to, and wouldn't be back anytime soon.
