"Reward him!" Yang Qing smiled and nodded.
Qing Mei immediately took out a grain-sized pearl that was faintly emitting a gentle glow from her storage ring and awarded it to Dan Biaoyi.
"Thank you Manor Head, thank you Manor Head for your reward!" Dan Biaoyi was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked him.
"You may leave!" Yang Qing waved his hand.
After Dan Biaoyi had left the mountain, Yang Qing chuckled and shook his head, "The moment he took office, he secretly smashed his own mountain gate. To think that this kid could think of something like this. He really dared to do it. Sigh! He is both brave and intelligent, and can be put in an important position. If he were to become a Mountain Lord, he could solve a lot of problems for me. It's just that his cultivation is a little too low. He can barely be a Cave Master, and it would be too much to ask for another important position. Previously, I let him, a White Lotus First Grade, guard East Arrival Cave because I wanted to see how many people in South Edict Manor would listen to my words, and whether they could keep their word. I wasn't acting on impulse, I just wanted to see who would jump out to stop me. If I really put him in East Arrival Cave, I was a little worried about whether it was the right thing to do. Now that I see that the kid is rather capable, I was worrying too much. "
Qing Mei and Qing Ju looked at each other, they could see that Yang Qing was increasingly admiring Miao Yi. When the time was right, he would definitely be put in an important position again. As handmaidens, the two of them knew that they could not be too distant from this Cave Master Miao in the future.
Qin Weiwei, on the other hand, pursed her lips, looking a little displeased.
Unexpectedly, Yang Qing had already called out her name with a smile, and asked, "Weiwei, I didn't make a mistake in choosing the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave that I personally appointed to you, right?"
His words were filled with ridicule. Of course he knew that there was something wrong between his daughter and Miao Yi.
However, Qin Weiwei didn't like hearing these words. She stood up and walked to his side, and said unkindly, "He's having fun now. Let's see if he can still be as happy as he is now when he has to take out Orbs of Will to fulfill his promise to his subordinates!"
Yang Qing laughed heartily, and pointed at her while shaking his head, "You! You! Do you really look down on the person that I personally picked for you? 'Didn't I just kill your mount? Why are you wasting your time here?' Why don't you think about it. He has all these people in his hands, and they even betray the sect? Even if he doesn't fulfill his promise after this, what can they do to him? "
"..." Realization dawned on Qin Weiwei and she was rendered speechless!
Yang Qing walked back to his chair and sat down, sighing, "If only our South Edict Manor had a few more talents like that brat, then the School of Blue Jade would no longer be a threat. The matters of South Edict Manor would be easier to handle."
Qin Weiwei frowned and said, "Manor Head, after this incident, don't you think that kid is too scheming?"
Yang Qing shook his head lightly and said, "If he was truly scheming, he wouldn't have immediately launched an attack the moment he bumped into the door. Instead, he would have communicated with you beforehand and arranged a path of retreat so that he wouldn't have to bear the responsibility before making a move. The way he did it shows that he felt that what he did was only natural. That's why he would act as if nothing had happened and run out to patrol after he was done."
Qin Weiwei was still unhappy. She mumbled, "No matter how I look at him, I still feel that he is a little despicable and shameless. It's just that you admire him. No matter how you look at him, you find him pleasing to the eye."
Yang Qing laughed involuntarily, "It doesn't matter whether you find him pleasing to the eye, or whether I admire him or not. That's not important. During the battle of Transient Light Cave, he dared to face a strong enemy with a cultivation at White Lotus First Grade without retreating. A Tiger General is nothing more than this. When I sent him to Changfeng Realm to exterminate the evil, two of Xiong Xiao's White Lotus Third Grade cultivators died in battle. He was the only one who returned alive to complete the mission. When I sent him to oversee East Arrival Cave, among the various Cave Masters within Mount Calming Sea, even in the entire South Edict Manor, he was the only one who swiftly pacified East Arrival Cave with a thunderous method. The other Mountain Chieftains and Cave Masters were afraid of the School of Blue Jade's power. They only knew how to complain, and couldn't come up with a viable response. Is this how you explain it to me by letting them oversee a region? In short, Miao Yi has never disappointed me. Doesn't this speak volumes about his abilities? Weiwei, as a leader, sometimes you can't just consider your own preferences. You need to learn to appreciate the merits of your subordinates. There is no perfect person in this world. Knowing how to use people is what a leader should do! "
Qin Weiwei remained silent. She knew that what Yang Qing said made sense, but she couldn't deny her dislike towards Miao Yi. In short, she just couldn't stand the sight of that guy!
'No one knows a daughter better than a father!' Yang Qing, who was observant, shook his head lightly. He knew that it would be difficult to change his daughter's attitude in a short period of time. This kind of thing couldn't be forced …
At the pier by the great seaside of East Arrival City, as far as the eye could see, the blue sea was boundless. The sky was high and the sea was wide, with seagulls flying in the sky.
After spending a few days walking around, Miao Yi quietly returned to the city to see Ji Xiufang. Afterwards, he once again came to the place where he had crossed the sea to come ashore.
The pier was still bustling with activity. All sorts of marine goods were being unloaded from the fishing boats, and there were also sailing ships that had come from afar docking.
After Miao Yi pulled people around to ask about the situation, he once again mounted his horse and left with Zhu Tianbiao.
After a few days of patrolling, he had a rough idea of the situation in East Arrival City. Once the two of them left the pier, Miao Yi smiled and said, "That Xu Xinliang is a pretty good City Lord. Looks like there's no need to replace him."
Zhu Tianbiao immediately flattered him, "Cave Master is wise!"
"..." Miao Yi was speechless. He rolled his eyes, 'What does this have to do with whether I'm wise or not? Someone else chose a City Lord because they had good foresight. It has nothing to do with me. He doesn't even know how to flatter me. '
The two of them rode along the coastline. Miao Yi had lived on the island for ten years, so he had a rather good understanding of the sea. He could roughly tell the depth of the sea from its color.
When they came to an area with towering reefs, the two of them stopped. Miao Yi dismounted his horse and leaped onto the reefs to examine the surrounding terrain.
Zhu Tianbiao came to his side and asked, "What are you looking at, Cave Master?"
Miao Yi replied with a question, "I heard that in the cultivation world, there's a type of ship that can cross the sea without the use of manpower?"
"Yes." Zhu Tianbiao explained, "For cultivators whose cultivation has reached the Red Lotus realm and can fly, it's useless. Only cultivators below the Red Lotus realm would use it."
"Is it difficult to build?"
"It's not difficult! Actually, it doesn't look any different from a normal ship. It's just that the ship's stern has an additional spiral blade forged by a craftsman. It's connected to a transmission device to propel it forward. Those with the right conditions would use a transcendent artifact to propel it, while those without the right conditions would use the leg strength of a dragon steed to run on the wheel at the stern of the ship to propel it. Its speed would far surpass that of a normal human-powered ship. Cave Master, why are you asking this? "
Miao Yi didn't answer his question. He pointed to a spot and said, "We'll do it here. Dig a small pier and build a ship specifically for my East Arrival Cave to use. Later, I'll have Yan Xiu contact the workers of East Arrival City to build it."
Zhu Tianbiao cupped his fists and said, "Cave Master is wise!"
"I say …" Miao Yi originally wanted to ask, 'You didn't even ask me what I wanted to do, but just said it was wise. Is there something wrong with your head?'
