Qin Weiwei asked, "Where did Miao Yi go?"
Yan Xiu smiled apologetically, "The Cave Master went to patrol his territory."
Qin Weiwei was startled, realizing that this guy was really at ease with his home. He had just arrived and already dared to leave the matter of the abode to patrol.
She asked again, "When will he be back?"
"This …" Yan Xiu shook his head, "Your subordinate does not know when the Cave Master will be back."
Qin Weiwei coldly snorted, "Then immediately find him and bring him back."
Yan Xiu instantly felt like crying, "Mountain Chieftain, the entire territory of East Arrival Cave is so big …"
He didn't dare to finish his sentence, but the meaning behind it was, 'Where do you expect us to find him in such a big place?!'
Qin Weiwei thought about it and felt that it was indeed a little difficult for him, so she didn't dwell on this matter. She began to call everyone in one by one to ask about Song Fu's murder and everyone's condemnation.
"Did Miao Yi use some method to threaten you all?"
"Mountain Chieftain, why do you say that? The Cave Master definitely did not threaten us. I only hate that Song Fu really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Even though we are from the same sect, I really can't stand it anymore … "
It was useless even if Dan Biaoyi's mouth was sealed. No matter how Qin Weiwei beat around the bush, or how she threatened or coerced them, it was all useless. No one would say anything else but Song Fu's fault, and resolutely defended the Great Cave Master Miao, causing Qin Weiwei to grit her teeth in hatred. It would be great if the entire Mount Calming Sea was like this. Unfortunately, there was only one East Arrival Cave.
There was obviously something fishy going on here, but these people, whether it was Yan Xiu and the others she had personally sent, or the men from the School of Blue Jade, all huddled together like an iron bucket, refusing to yield even if they were beaten to death.
Qin Weiwei was prepared to wait for Miao Yi to return before settling the score.
However, after waiting for three days, she still didn't see Miao Yi return. She didn't know when that guy would return.
What made her most speechless was that even if the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave wasn't around, his subordinates would still maintain East Arrival Cave's affairs in an orderly manner.
The other Cave Masters had reported that the School of Blue Jade disciples were unwilling to guard the mountain gates and do odd jobs, but this could not be seen in East Arrival Cave. On the contrary, Miao Yi's trusted subordinates, Yan Xiu and the others, didn't have to do such things. It was all the School of Blue Jade disciples who were loyal to their duties.
Moreover, Wang Zifa and the others' attitude towards Yan Xiu was obviously very courteous. It could be seen how they would treat the Great Cave Master Miao.
Just look at the Great Cave Master Miao. In just one night, he managed East Arrival Cave to this state. In the eyes of his subordinates, his prestige was extremely high.
The people he had personally appointed couldn't manage the affairs of each cave well, and all of them were complaining to him. On the other hand, the people he didn't want to appoint were managing the affairs well. Whose face was he slapping?
Qin Weiwei, who was silently observing, almost choked to the point of spitting out a mouthful of blood. Could it be that she was gauging the heart of a gentleman with her own mean measure?
These were troubled times, and she couldn't stay here forever. Who knew when Miao Yi would return?
After waiting for three days, she finally brought her people away. He did not know what she wanted to do, but she brought Dan Biaoyi along with her.
This caused Yan Xiu and the rest, who were sending them off at the mountain gate, to be in a state of confusion. Each and every one of them gave Dan Biaoyi a meaningful look. You have to hold on!
Everyone knew clearly in their hearts that once Dan Biaoyi couldn't hold on any longer and revealed everything, whether or not they could obtain the Orbs of Will from Cave Master Miao was secondary. The key was that the people from the School of Blue Jade would never let them go.
Yan Xiu and the others had killed a disciple from the School of Blue Jade.
On the other hand, the people from the School of Blue Jade would be equivalent to betraying their sect.
Now that such a commotion had occurred, the people from the School of Blue Jade were terrified and regretful. They regretted how they had boarded the pirate ship in the first place, causing them to not dare to disembark even when Qin Weiwei had promised them great benefits. They even had to desperately row the pirate ship, which was leaking everywhere and looked like it was about to sink, without turning back to shore.
Qin Weiwei, who had noticed everyone's expressions from the corner of her eyes, had a cold expression on her face. She was even more certain that there was something fishy going on.
Handmaiden Hong Mian shot a glance at her mistress, and couldn't help but stifle a smile from the corner of her mouth. She thought to herself, regardless of whether there was anything fishy going on, it was obvious that Cave Master Miao had indeed made these people obedient and obedient, for them to be able to band together like this. It was no wonder that he dared to abandon the affairs of the cave and run around as soon as he arrived. If the other Cave Masters had the ability, then the matter of Mount Calming Sea would be easy to handle.
She just didn't know if what the Mountain Chieftain had said, that if Cave Master Miao truly wanted to obtain the support of his subordinates, she would give the position of Mountain Chieftain to Cave Master Miao …
Qin Weiwei obviously saw through her thoughts, and glared fiercely at her. How could words spoken out of anger be taken seriously?
Qin Weiwei didn't stop to rest as she rushed back to Mount Calming Sea at top speed. After inquiring if there were any urgent matters, she brought Dan Biaoyi along and directly rushed to South Edict Manor.
Yang Qing's personally appointed trusted subordinate had killed a disciple from the School of Blue Jade the moment he took office. This matter couldn't be concealed, and would be exposed sooner or later. Regardless of whether the School of Blue Jade would react or not, they would at least ask about it. Qin Weiwei had to personally report the details, so that Yang Qing would be prepared beforehand.
Knowing that they were going to South Edict Manor again, Dan Biaoyi was a little flustered. Why did it seem like this matter was getting more and more serious? Was it necessary?
The people at the lower levels didn't know about the matters of the upper levels, and the secret struggles that were involved were very complicated. If they had known, they might not have dared to do it in the first place.
After arriving at South Edict Manor, Qin Weiwei didn't need to inform Yang Qing before meeting him.
She followed behind Qing Ju to the pavilion at the highest peak of the back mountain, and saw Yang Qing meditating and cultivating.
"Qin Weiwei pays her respects to the Manor Head!" Qin Weiwei, dressed in clothes as white as snow, bowed.
When there were others around, Qin Weiwei had always maintained the etiquette of a superior and subordinate towards Yang Qing. She would only call him 'Father' in very private situations.
Yang Qing slowly stopped his cultivation, and after opening his eyes, he spat out an Orb of Will the size of a quail egg from his mouth, and smiled. "Why are you here, Weiwei?"
He stood up and walked to the side of the tea table to sit down. He extended his hand, gesturing for her to sit down and talk. "What's the matter?"
Qin Weiwei sat on the chair on the other side of the tea table. "Manor Head, I'm afraid the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave that you personally appointed has caused you some trouble."
Yang Qing replied with an 'Oh', and slightly furrowed his brows. "Miao Yi, what trouble did he cause?"
"Manor Head, please have a look yourself." Qin Weiwei placed the box containing the reports she had brought along in front of him.
After Yang Qing opened it and looked through it, he was also confused.
As Qing Mei and Qing Ju exchanged glances, Yang Qing quickly went through each of the jade archives one by one, going through them one more time.
He was someone who could put on an act, and didn't make a fuss like Qin Weiwei before. He only asked curiously, "Weiwei, what's going on?"
"I don't know what's going on either. In order to investigate this matter, I purposely made a trip to East Arrival Cave. In the end, that bastard Miao Yi went out to patrol his territory …" Qin Weiwei explained in detail what she had seen at that time.
After Yang Qing finished listening, he lightly tapped his fingers on the table. After pondering for a long time, he shook his head. He couldn't figure it out either, and finally said, "Call the person you brought over. I'll ask him personally."
Dan Biaoyi was quickly summoned over. This was the first time he had met such a high and mighty person like Yang Qing face to face. In addition to the fact that he had a guilty conscience, this bastard was extremely nervous.
However, there was one thing he managed to do. No matter how Yang Qing asked, he still repeated the same old words.
Yang Qing didn't ask in a roundabout manner like Qin Weiwei. He stood up and slowly walked to the front of the pavilion's railing. Gazing at the mountain scenery in the distance, he slowly placed his hands behind his back. with an expressionless face, he calmly said, "Drag him out and behead him!"
