It could be seen that Wang Zifa took good care of his fellow disciples. The four White Lotus Second Grade Junior Brothers and Sisters took turns guarding the mountain gate.
Nan Sisi was the one guarding the mountain gate today. Miao Yi and Zhu Tianbiao dismounted their horses at the mountain gate archway.
"Cave Master, you're finally back. Everyone has been anxiously waiting for your return." Nan Sisi took the reins from the two, turned around and immediately invoked her arts to shout, "Cave Master is back."
Miao Yi looked at Nan Sisi a few more times, then smiled as he entered the mountain gate. He didn't think that everyone would miss him so much. He guessed that Nan Sisi was just flattering him.
Before he reached the Grand Hall, he saw the people of his cave rushing over, each of them greeting him, "Cave Master is back."
Miao Yi nodded and led the group into the Grand Hall. He climbed up to the high seat alone and asked, "Did anything happen while I was gone?"
"Something happened!" A few of them said in unison. Wang Zifa and the others' worry was written all over their faces.
"Something happened? Isn't everyone fine? What happened? "Miao Yi looked at Yan Xiu standing below and asked. Currently, he trusted Yan Xiu the most.
Yan Xiu was very calm. He cupped his hands and said, "Cave Master, on the second day after you left, Mountain Chieftain Qin Weiwei rushed over with her men. She's asking about Song Fu's death."
At the mention of that woman, Miao Yi's face darkened.
He wasn't worried that Song Fu's death would be exposed, but he had just taken office and that woman immediately ran over to check on him. What was the meaning of this? To think that he had immediately sent someone to deliver the report to her. It was obvious that she didn't believe him.
Miao Yi's gaze swept across the crowd, and coldly snorted, "That bitch didn't purposely cause trouble, did she?"
"..." The originally worried crowd was instantly rendered speechless. Each of them stared at him with wide eyes, giving him a thumbs up in their hearts. Cave Master, you're amazing. You actually dared to scold the Manor Head's goddaughter in public, and scold the Mountain Chieftain of Mount Calming Sea as a bitch!
"Cough cough!" Miao Yi coughed dryly. He also realized that he had misspoken. How could he have spoken out his thoughts in public? He switched to a smiling expression and asked, "The Mountain Chieftain didn't say anything, right?"
Wang Zifa and the others secretly exchanged glances. It seemed that the relationship between this Cave Master and Manor Head Yang Qing was not what everyone had imagined. It seemed that the grudge between them was rather deep, even Yang Qing's daughter had called him a slut. It could be seen what their relationship was like.
When the people from the School of Blue Jade joined Yang Qing's banner, they more or less came with a mission. It was impossible for them to listen to Yang Qing wholeheartedly. After Miao Yi caught hold of these people's weakness, they were still worried about how they could fool their sect in the future. But now, it seemed like this Cave Master Miao could be secretly won over to the School of Blue Jade's side. If he could turn Yang Qing's trusted aide into a spy the School of Blue Jade had planted by Yang Qing's side, he would be able to report to his sect. Perhaps it would even be a meritorious deed.
Yan Xiu, on the other hand, didn't think too much about it. He replied, "The Mountain Chieftain didn't say much. She just kept asking us about the truth of the report."
This is it! As long as he could control the mouths of the people from the School of Blue Jade, so what if Qin Weiwei found out the truth? He didn't believe that Yang Qing, who had just helped him up, would remove him later on because of this matter. Wouldn't that be like slapping his own face, saying that he didn't have a good eye for people?
He didn't believe that Yang Qing would do something that would damage his Manor Head's prestige. Besides, he didn't do anything wrong, did he? East Arrival Cave was his territory in the first place. So what if he cleaned up East Arrival Cave? You, Yang Qing, sent me to East Arrival Cave. Even if you don't support me, you can't be a hindrance!
Miao Yi said disapprovingly, "You guys aren't spouting nonsense, are you?"
Everyone immediately replied at the same time, "We're tight-lipped, but the key is that Dan Biaoyi was taken away by the Mountain Chieftain. We don't know if Dan Biaoyi can hold up."
Miao Yi chuckled, "Everyone, don't worry about this. I believe Dan Biaoyi won't spout nonsense."
He had something in his heart that he didn't say out loud. Dan Biaoyi had a hand in killing Song Fu. It would be strange if Dan Biaoyi would speak up so easily.
Actually, the calmer Yan Xiu and Qiu Shaoqun were also thinking the same thing.
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of galloping dragon steeds could be faintly heard from outside.
Everyone waited for a while, and saw the previously mentioned Dan Biaoyi quickly enter the Grand Hall. He cupped his fists towards everyone in high spirits, and then greeted in the middle, "Cave Master!"
Without waiting for Dan Biaoyi to open his mouth, everyone had already crowded around him, asking him if he had spouted nonsense after being taken away by the Mountain Chieftain.
With Yang Qing's words as a foundation, Dan Biaoyi naturally patted his chest and guaranteed that he definitely didn't betray everyone.
With these words, everyone instantly heaved a huge sigh of relief. One by one, they patted him on the shoulder, saying that he was a good man.
Sitting high up on his throne, Miao Yi was also very happy to hear Dan Biaoyi's words. He crossed his legs, and was secretly pleased with himself. East Arrival Cave is completely under my control!
"Everyone, don't be too happy too early. Do you know Zheng Jinlong?" Dan Biaoyi looked around at everyone and asked.
Wang Zifa nodded, "Of course we do. He's our Senior Brother, and entered the sect even earlier than Senior Brother Song Fu."
Everyone was curious as to why he would mention Zheng Jinlong. Dan Biaoyi pointed outside and said, "He came with me, and is now waiting outside for the Cave Master to summon him!"
Everyone faintly felt that something was wrong, and Wang Zifa immediately asked, "Why did Senior Brother Zheng come here?"
Dan Biaoyi sighed, "Even though I withstood the interrogation, the higher-ups still showed our report to your School of Blue Jade. It seems that a Senior from your sect who was in charge of coordination in South Edict Manor personally spoke to the Manor Head, saying that Song Fu was disrespectful and deserved to die. He requested the Manor Head to allow the School of Blue Jade to send another person to take Song Fu's place, in order to atone for his crimes. Thus, Zheng Jinlong came with me. Everyone, to put it bluntly, your sect seems to be suspicious of this matter. Zheng Jinlong has been beating around the bush with questions on the way here. Everyone better be prepared. "
After he finished speaking, he cupped his fists towards Miao Yi and said, "I purposely left Zheng Jinlong outside so that I could inform you in advance, and hope that the Cave Master can make plans as soon as possible."
Miao Yi, who was sitting high up on his throne, nodded his head, and looked towards the crowd, asking, "What do you all think of this matter?"
After the School of Blue Jade's members exchanged glances, Wang Zifa said with a grave expression, "Cave Master, I'm afraid that Senior Brother Zheng has come here just as Dan Biaoyi said, to investigate the truth regarding Senior Brother Song's death."
Miao Yi scoffed, "You people from the School of Blue Jade really don't know when to stop, to actually want to find out the truth about us. If he doesn't behave himself later, all of you can attack together and get rid of him. We have the advantage in numbers, so we don't have to be afraid of him. That's right, how's his cultivation? "
Everyone's expression changed greatly, and Wang Zifa hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No! Cave Master, if we kill Senior Brother Zheng, then we'll be in big trouble. Senior Brother Zheng is easy to kill, but what happens after we kill him? What if our sect sends another disciple with a Blue Lotus cultivation? What should we do? "
