Text Chapter 240: Winning Over

It was the first time for everyone to meet, and the jokes made both sides feel relaxed. It was good that they could get along well.

Under the shade of the falling locust flowers, the atmosphere was good and the environment was beautiful. Everyone felt like they had known each other for a long time.

Of course, it was just a perfunctory show. It would be strange if they could really feel like they had known each other for a long time.

"I am Tong Renmei, and I am the Lanyu Sect..." Tong Renmei was about to introduce herself as the sitting elder of Lanyu Sect.

Who knew that Miao Yi, who was bowing to everyone, ignored him and laughed at Hong Changhai: "Elder Hong, we finally meet again. Miao Yi came to visit you specially, why are you hiding behind? Did Miao offend you somewhere?"

The scene was quiet, and everyone in Lanyu Sect looked at Tong Renmei. Tong Renmei, who was half-holding her fist, was like a duck with its neck pinched. She couldn't say the rest of the words. She found that she was ignored by Miao Yi. Her face flushed and she put down her hands in embarrassment.

However, his face soon returned to normal, and he smiled and stepped aside to let Miao Yi go over to greet Hong Changhai behind him.

Zhan Lisong, who was standing by, whispered to Tong Renmei: "This guy is too rude. He is just a little Ma Cheng, but he really thinks he is something and dares not to give face to his senior brother."

"It doesn't matter, he may not know my identity yet." Tong Renmei was generous.

Miao Yi took the initiative to grab Hong Changhai's wrist, and talked happily, ignoring others.

In the end, it was Hong Changhai who took the initiative to introduce Tong Renmei and others to Miao Yi. Miao Yi was shocked when he heard it and said: "Elder Hong, aren't you the sitting elder of Lanyumen?"

"Hong's ability is limited." Elder Hong was ashamed.

"Elder Tong, please don't remember the villain's fault. I'm sorry that Miao didn't know it just now. I'm sorry!" Miao Yi quickly apologized.

He actually did it on purpose, not purely to give Hong Changhai face, but because there were too many people here with higher cultivation than him. He just wanted to let everyone know that no matter how high your cultivation is, it is useless. I don't take you seriously at all.

Sometimes, the airs are used to be held high. Otherwise, if you come here alone and lower your head too much, everyone will think you are nothing special, and then a large group of people will not take you seriously.

Some occasions are like this.

You are more imposing. Even if people are unhappy, they have to be more sensible, because they know that you don't take everyone seriously at all. Who dares to say something offensive. They will definitely lose their temper and make everyone lose face.

If you take a step back, people will think that you are self-aware, and you will take a step forward in your mentality. I am afraid that they may not be polite to you. To put it bluntly, they think you are easy to bully.

Just like now. Although most people are unhappy with Miao Yi, they will still comfort themselves in their hearts and not bother with such a fool. On the surface, they have to bow to Miao Yi one by one.

"You are too polite!" Elder Tong turned around and extended his hand to invite him. "I heard that you are coming, and the headmaster has come out of retreat. Please come in!"

"Oh! Elder Tong, please come in!" Miao Yi said politely. He followed beside him.

The people separated on both sides to make way, and followed the two people in front to climb the stone steps step by step. He listened attentively to the two people in front of him laughing and talking.

Climbing the long steps, a courtyard wall and a heavy gate guarded the road. After passing through the courtyard wall, there were another long step, and finally he saw the Lanyumen Hall behind an open area.

When everyone arrived at the steps of the hall, most people took the initiative to stop, and only a few people were qualified to enter the hall.

Stepping into the hall, there was an empty seat under the statue of the founder of Lanyumen. It was probably the position of the headmaster of Lanyumen, but the headmaster had not arrived yet.

Miao Yi could understand this. The headmaster represented the face of Lanyumen, and sending the elders to greet him was already giving him enough face. If the headmaster sat here early to wait for you, a horse prime minister, what would it be? Miao Yi is not qualified yet.

I am afraid that it will be the same if the head of Zhenhai Mountain, Qin Weiwei, comes. It is estimated that only when Yang Qing comes can the head of Lanyu Sect come out to greet him personally.

The first thing the disciples who enter the hall do is to bow solemnly to the ancestor. Miao Yi did not bow, but he also repeatedly bowed three times to show respect.

The next step is to wait. After waiting for a while, a boy appeared from the side door behind the hall and said in a clear voice: "The head of the sect has arrived!"

Everyone sang in unison: "Welcome the head of the sect!"

Miao Yi did not need to shout for this.

Then, a middle-aged man in black clothes and a ceremonial crown appeared. There was no one else except Feng Hai, the head of Lanyu Sect.

Feng Hai looked much younger than the elders, but his cultivation was higher than that of the elders. His demeanor was extraordinary. He walked up to the high seat and sat down, and two boys stood on his left and right.

Feng Hai, who sat down, cast his eyes on Miao Yi, who bowed and said, "Miao Yi greets Master Feng."

Feng Hai smiled and said, "Your Excellency has traveled a long distance and worked hard. Please take a seat!"

Immediately, a disciple of Lanyu Sect brought a chair and placed it on the side, inviting Miao Yi to sit down. Others were not qualified to sit in the hall. Miao Yi was qualified not because of his strength, but because of respect for Miao Yi's official background. It was not right for an official to stand below and answer.

"I don't know why your Excellency came to visit my Lanyu Sect?" Feng Hai asked.

"This..." Miao Yi looked at everyone. It was not convenient to talk about his own affairs in public. He replied, "I wanted to bother Elder Hong with a little private matter, but I didn't expect to disturb Master Feng's carriage. It's really a sin."

Everyone immediately understood that it was not convenient to say it publicly. Feng Hai paused his eyes on Hong Changhai and didn't ask any more questions.

Then he just said a few words of courtesy. It was impossible for Feng Hai, the leader of the sect, to be intimate with Miao Yi and his little pony Ma Chengduo. Miao Yi really didn't have the strength yet, so he just came out to express his feelings for me. Official respect means.

After Feng Hai said something about Mingtong Renmei's hospitality to the distinguished guests, he left under the respectful greetings of everyone.

Hong Changhai, who was paying tribute in the main hall, twitched violently. Miao Yi had already said that he had a private matter to discuss with him, but the head ordered Tong Renmei to entertain...

Naturally, the dignified Lan Yumen has many annexes for entertaining guests, and Tong Renmei personally accompanied Miao Yi to stay in the annex.

The high-walled courtyard, shaded by ancient trees, small bridges and flowing water, rockeries, pavilions and waterside pavilions, and quiet scenery. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the necessary organs. It is an elegant place to live quietly, and it is perfect for entertaining guests.

After Tong Renmei personally took Miao Yi around the elegant courtyard, she asked, "It's not as good as Donglai Cave, where Zhongling is located. The hospitality is not good. I hope you won't be offended."

Miao Yi shook his head and said: "Elder Tong is serious. Although the environment of Donglai Cave is good, it has been war-torn and cannot compare with the elegance of this place."

He didn't mean to be polite. The various caves were constantly fighting and suffering, and it was indeed impossible to find this kind of background. For example, the ancient trees in the yard that were often a hundred years old were not found in the Donglai Cave. They could only transplant some flowers and plants for decoration. , this is the gap in foundation, money can’t buy it.

"Speaking of the deeds of your lord who has gone through many wars and led his men to repeatedly defeat powerful enemies, Tong also heard about it in the Lanyu Sect. It can be said that your lord is young and promising. His future is bound to be limitless."

"It's just a fluke, and thanks to the disciples of the Blue Jade Sect who sacrificed their lives to help. If Miao really has a future that is limitless, he will never forget the great contribution of the Blue Jade Sect."

The two complimented each other in the courtyard, and after entering the main hall and taking their seats, Tong Renmei finally turned the conversation to business, "I just heard in the main hall that your Excellency has come to visit on personal matters. I wonder if there is anything Tong can do for me?"

Miao Yi was amused in his heart. He didn't know whether it was because of his strong official background or because he was really great, but there were people who couldn't wait to get Hong Changhai to step aside and rush to work for him.

Of course he doesn't think that he is great, he only thinks that his official background is strong.

Little did he know that no matter how powerful he was, he was just a Ma Cheng. The reason why he was like this was because he had a close relationship with Hong Changhai. In order to protect himself, Hong Changhai praised Miao Yi so much that he seemed to be of great use.

There is no way, if Miao Yi loses his use value, no one will pay attention to him even if he, Hong Changhai, pulls this line.

Judging from the news from other Lan Yumen disciples in the two houses, the Donglai Cave Master is indeed very attractive.

When Yang Qing was in danger, this man fought against Zhang Decheng's troops in the north, single-handedly fought in and out with one or two hundred people, and managed to rescue Yang Qing's daughter. They fought against Liu Jingtian's troops in the south for a sneak attack, defeated the opponent, and even beheaded Gui. Su Biao, the master of Yishan Mountain, was a mere cave master with outstanding military exploits in the two mansions.

If nothing happens to this kind of person, he will be promoted sooner or later, otherwise it will be unfair.

What's even more powerful is that this guy dared to lead a cave to attack Xiong Xiao, the master of Shaotai Mountain twice. He was very powerful in Yang Qing's two houses.

As for what they said that angered Yang Qing, Lan Yumen didn't believe it. When they were still cooperating with Yang Qing, Lan Yumen knew that this guy was so highly regarded by Yang Qing that he actually became the cave master with his first-grade White Lotus cultivation. This position can be said to be Yang Qing's confidant.

Since he was demoted to Ma Cheng, but Yan Xiu was appointed as the master of Donglai Cave, and the power of Donglai Cave was still in the hands of this guy, it seemed that Yang Qing favored Xiong Xiao and dealt with this guy, but Lan Yu Men Gan can conclude that in Yang Qing's mind, Xiong Xiao is definitely not as good as this guy.

Therefore, Lan Yumen concluded that it would be a matter of time for this guy to come back. When he improves his cultivation, he would probably become the master of the mountain within a hundred years.

And almost all of his men are disciples of the Lan Yu Sect, and all of them are disciples of the Hong Changhai lineage. What will it mean if this guy becomes the mountain master? This means that there is no one else available. After Rong is promoted to Mountain Lord, most of the cave masters under him will be Hong Changhai's disciples.

It can be said that things are different now. Yang Qing is no longer controlled by the Blue Jade Sect. I think Yang Qing will not be too obstructive by then.

This means that Hong Changhai's disciples will control the territory of millions of believers by then, and the convenience they can provide to the Lanyu Sect will be great. For example, just doing business in the territory will be open to the Lanyu Sect. Bringing huge crystal coin income to Sapphire Sect.

At that time, the entire Blue Jade Sect will look at Hong Changhai's face, otherwise Hong Changhai will order his disciples to interfere if he is unhappy. At that time, Hong Changhai will be lifted up again by his disciples.

With such a huge benefit, which elder of the Blue Jade Sect would not be jealous of it? Naturally, Tong Renmei didn't want Hong Changhai to succeed. There was no reason to give up the seat that was already on her butt so easily. (To be continued...)
