Just as the two of them were discussing, Zheng Jinlong, who was pacing back and forth in the courtyard anxiously waiting for news, suddenly stopped in his tracks. He looked towards the black dot in the sky, and extended his arm to welcome it.
The goshawk messenger he had released for two days had finally returned, and landed on his arm with a whoosh.
He impatiently took out a narrow jade strip from the tube at the goshawk's feet, and imbued his transcendence energy to examine it.
He saw the words written on it: Wang Zifa and the others have put in a lot of effort, and will cooperate!
This was the School of Blue Jade's reply. Zheng Jinlong immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't know the school's attitude, and he didn't dare to reveal his true intentions to Wang Zifa and the others. He was afraid that he would be implicated, and if the School of Blue Jade wanted to investigate to the end, he wouldn't be able to stop them.
After deceiving the school, Zheng Jinlong was also confident. He quickly placed the goshawk in the hawk's nest, and turned to return to the house. He took off his blue robes, and changed into a black outfit.
The Cave Master of East Arrival Cave disliked the School of Blue Jade's clothing, and insisted on unifying East Arrival Cave's clothing.
When the black-robed Zheng Jinlong walked out of the courtyard, Wang Zifa and the others appeared out of nowhere, and repeated the same old tune, "Senior Brother, what do you think?"
They were also anxious. If Zheng Jinlong really didn't cooperate, then they could only listen to Miao Yi, and join forces to get rid of Zheng Jinlong.
Even though they knew this was like drinking poison to quench their thirst, they had no other choice, and could only take care of the moment.
"Seeing that all of you wholeheartedly worked for the school, I have racked my brains for you this time!" Zheng Jinlong sighed, and gave the secret jade strip he had just received to them.
After they took turns to imbue their transcendence energy to examine it, they were all overjoyed. Under Wang Zifa's signal, they stood in a row, and cupped their fists in unison, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"
"I haven't seen the Cave Master for a few days. I wonder if the Cave Master has any orders!"
After Zheng Jinlong said this, everyone knew that he had already decided to take a share of the loot, and was going to reassure the Cave Master.
Everyone immediately followed him respectfully.
After receiving the notification, Miao Yi led Qian'Er and Xue'Er to the front hall. He walked to the high seat, and Qian'Er and Xue'Er stood nervously to his left and right. Yan Xiu, who had followed him out, stood at his own position below.
"Summon them in!" Miao Yi said lightly.
Yan Xiu had already explained the rules to the two maidservants earlier. As the Little Auntie, Xue Er's body trembled slightly. She immediately strode to the entrance of the Grand Hall, mustering her courage, she shouted towards the crowd waiting at the bottom of the stairs outside, "The Cave Master invites everyone to enter the Grand Hall to discuss matters!"
His voice wasn't soft, but it was clear that his voice was trembling. He was clearly a little nervous. It was understandable that he was showing off his might in front of a group of immortals for the first time.
He in, Miao's Miing Chen. "When he and and and Xue were, and and and Yi were., Miao and and and, and and and and and and, Wang, and and," and.
"Greetings, Cave Master!" Everyone cupped their hands in greeting.
Now that everyone was finally here, there was no need to fear that there would be no one left to fight in the future. Even if they encountered a White Lotus Fourth Grade cultivator, they would still be able to put up a good fight. Miao Yi smiled and said, "No need to stand on ceremony!"
Qian'Er and Xue'Er subconsciously peeked at Miao Yi, and realized how impressive the Cave Master was. So many Immortals listened to his words.
Actually, there were only nine people below, plus the one guarding the mountain gate outside. There were only ten subordinates, and East Arrival Cave couldn't afford to keep too many people.
However, to the two girls who had just arrived, even one Immortal was a lofty existence in their eyes, let alone ten. They had never seen so many Immortals that they had to look up to appear in front of them all at once.
If they knew that their Master's cultivation was the weakest among all the Immortals, how would they feel?
After the nine of them stood in two rows, Zheng Jinlong stepped out again and cupped his fists, "Your subordinate, Zheng Jinlong, has just arrived, and has yet to contribute to East Arrival Cave. I wonder if the Cave Master has any orders?"
This was to show that he was willing to listen to orders.
Miao Yi said with a faint smile, "The newcomer has to perform. How about guarding the mountain gate for a day?"
The people below were startled. He wanted a White Lotus Third Grade cultivator to guard the gate again? Could it be that the Cave Master didn't understand his intentions, and wanted to kill Zheng Jinlong again?
Zheng Jinlong was also shocked. He was only saying polite words on the surface, he didn't expect the other party to be serious. Only then did he realize that although this bastard before him had a low cultivation, he had the ability to kill a White Lotus Third Grade cultivator.
But he quickly saw through the Cave Master's intentions. It was to see if he was truly willing to accept orders. The other party didn't believe in his words, and wanted him to show his stance with his actions.
"Your subordinate obeys!" Zheng Jinlong cupped his fists and accepted the order.
Miao Yi couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush with him. To him, this was his territory, so it was a simple matter.
"Since everyone is almost here, let me introduce them to everyone." Miao Yi pointed to the handmaidens on his left and right, "This is Qian'Er, and this is Xue'Er!"
Everyone looked at each other, then cupped their fists one after another, "Greetings, Elder Auntie, Little Auntie!"
Qian'Er and Xue'Er nervously bowed in return.
After the exchange, everyone dispersed. Zheng Jinlong went to the front of the mountain gate to change shifts, causing Wang Xiuqin, who was on duty at the mountain gate, to be terrified. How could she dare to trouble her Senior Brother to guard the mountain gate?
After hearing that it was the Mountain Chieftain's intention, Wang Xiuqin was finally willing to let go. But she reminded him in a low voice, "Senior Brother, you also know about Senior Brother Song's situation. You still need to be more careful."
Zheng Jinlong nodded. On the surface, he didn't think much of it, but in reality, his heart was stretched taut. He was still a little worried that the Cave Master would play dirty.
Everyone wasn't fools when Song Fu's mountain gate was smashed last time. After the incident, they all guessed that Miao Yi was playing dirty behind their backs, and was only looking for an excuse to flip out.
So Zheng Jinlong decided to guard the mountain gate to the death today. He couldn't go anywhere, lest he failed miserably...
The news of Zheng Jinlong lowering his head and surrendering quickly spread to Mount Calming Sea. Qin Weiwei, dressed in snow-white robes, was lying on the deck chair in the loft. She looked at the secret report in her hands and felt a wave of annoyance. That bastard actually dealt with the people sent by the School of Blue Jade to investigate. Were the people from the School of Blue Jade all useless?
Yang Qing knew he couldn't hide Song Fu's death from last time. There was no point in hiding such a thing, so he summoned the person in charge from the School of Blue Jade on the spot and let him see the pile of reports.
The people from the School of Blue Jade didn't say anything and immediately condemned Song Fu as deserving of death. However, they requested Yang Qing to arrange for another person to go over and atone for his crimes.
Everyone knew that atoning for one's crimes was a lie, and that the real reason was to investigate the truth. But Yang Qing agreed on the spot.
After that, Qin Weiwei asked Yang Qing why he agreed. What if they found out the truth?
Yang Qing said, 'If they found out, then so be it. When the time comes, I will directly express my stance to protect that kid. I want to see what the School of Blue Jade's attitude is, and test their bottom line. Secondly, I will send some trouble to that kid, and see if he can handle it, and if he will disappoint me!'
The secret report was quickly forwarded to South Edict Manor.
In the same mountain pavilion, Yang Qing chuckled after receiving the secret report. "Another one has fallen into the trap. This kid has really turned East Arrival Cave into a bottomless pit. He'll swallow whoever comes! It looks like the School of Blue Jade is only so-so. They can't even deal with a mere Cave Master under my command. Haha! "
