Text Chapter 312: The Fickleness of the World

Besides sympathizing with Lan Yumen, the life and death of Lan Yumen did not have much impact on Miao Yi's mood. They were just using each other. What he cared about most now was going to Xingxiu Sea in a few years. He turned and went into the house to ask the two women, "How is your business going?"

The two women showed the results of the transaction. All the things sold for about 5 million gold crystals. The most valuable ones were the spiritual herbs that Tong Renmei had given before.

Miao Yi and Yan Xiu looked at each other in surprise. This was probably the last favor that Lan Yumen gave him.

As for the monster skin that Miao Yi wanted, the two women failed to buy it back because the Nanxuan City branch did not have it.

There were not many cultivators in Nanxuan Prefecture, and even fewer people consumed monster pills to refine disposable talismans. No one had bought it for hundreds of years, so the Nanxuan branch did not usually prepare such goods.

However, Wenfang had already gone to mobilize them and said that she would deliver them in person later.

Since the Nanxuan branch did not have the goods, it was no wonder that the two women were not doing a good job. Besides, there was no rush for this matter.

Looking back, Miao Yi was afraid that the disciples of Lanyu Sect would become restless, so he ordered Yan Xiu to inspect Zhenhai Mountain.

After Yan Xiu left, Qian'er and Xue'er showed Miao Yi a bunch of gadgets, including food and toys. The two of them spent a lot of money on this trip to Nanxuan City and bought a lot of things.

After seeing them, Miao Yi couldn't help laughing or crying. They were all small things in the market. They were not interested in so many good things offered by the lower level. Instead, they were happy to have such cheap things. It was conceivable how they had lived in captivity before.

Miao Yi was not interested in these small snacks and gadgets, and did not disturb the two girls' playfulness. He let the two play by themselves, and he continued to practice...

A few days later, Tian Qingfeng and others came back with dark faces. At this time, the news of the destruction of Lanyu Sect had spread throughout the two prefectures. The disciples of the three major sects were gloating, while the disciples of Lanyu Sect were gloomy.

Both Yang Qing above and Miao Yi below were watching coldly. It was impossible for them to speak for justice for Lanyumen. There was no justice in the cultivation world. Whoever had the bigger fist had the final say. Besides, they didn't have the ability to do so.

Yang Qing, the culprit, was needless to say. As for Miao Yi, if he died, would Lanyumen avenge him? The answer was definitely not.

The same was true for Miao Yi. The relationship between the two sides had not yet reached the point where they would risk their lives for each other.

The most important thing was that the Xingxu Sea Rebellion Suppression Meeting was imminent, and the major sects would also send people to participate. Now if you offend the people of the three major sects to death, you are an official, and they dare not do anything to you now. Going to Xingxu Sea, you will be innocent in killing people, and the result at that time can be imagined.

The most sensible way is to ignore this matter and treat it as a private grudge between the cultivation sects...

Almost every year at this time, there is a heavy snowfall, and the wish beads are handed in.

The cave masters from all walks of life came one after another. All the wish beads were paid, but there was no joy on the faces of the cave masters.

Miao Yi's harvest was a huge increase. The 100 wish beads of the direct-controlled city were completely at his disposal, and there were more than 100 commissions from the following.

Although Zhenhai Mountain now has so many Qinglian masters, the number of people has not increased. In addition to the original wish bead expenditure for the number of people, Miao Yi needs to pay extra for the higher treatment of Qinglian masters.

At the end of the last year, Miao Yi actually had a few wish beads in his hand. You must know that when he was in Donglai Cave, there were not so many Qinglian masters. He had to pay one or two hundred of them every year. Now he is making a profit. This is a good thing. The pros and cons of sitting on the position of mountain master are gradually reflected now.

The joy of the wish beads being issued has somewhat diluted some of the haze that shrouded the disciples of Lanyumen.

According to the practice of previous years, the cave masters of various routes have to escort Miao Yi to Nanxuanfu to pay the annual payment.

However, Miao Yi asked the master of Donglai Cave to take his men back because the task of shipbuilding in Donglai Cave was urgent. The masters of various caves were also sent back to their respective territories. In case of any trouble in Donglai Cave, they could provide timely support.

Miao Yi selected Tian Qingfeng and two deacons, and also called Liu Qian of the Yunv Sect, Ma Hu of the Yushou Sect, and a deacon who was dismissed from the Zhenhai Mountain by Jianli Palace. He selected six people to go to Nanxuan Prefecture together.

When he arrived in Nanxuan Prefecture, he would definitely meet the people of the three major sects. He did this to send a message to the three major sects and let them see his friendliness.

There was no way. By then, there would be 150,000 cultivators fighting in Xingxiu Sea. Its cruelty was self-evident. Yang Qing had already reminded him in advance to establish good relations with the three major sects. Yang Qing's reminder made sense. Miao Yi did not want to fight alone among the 150,000 cultivators. That would only lead to death. If he could unite with the disciples of the three major sects, then the chances of resisting risks and surviving would be much greater.

Miao Yi made such an arrangement, and Liu Qian and others showed a playful expression between their eyebrows and exchanged glances secretly. It seems that this mountain master is quite sensible.

Tian Qingfeng and others saw Miao Yi's arrangement, and their expressions were somewhat gloomy. They didn't know that Miao Yi was going to Xingxiu Sea, and they just thought that the world was fickle.

After Miao Yi noticed it, he called Tian Qingfeng to the back and reminded him: "Don't think too much. Every year, the owner of the mansion has to take out some prizes for the annual payment, and let the cave masters grab them. Your current situation is really not suitable for this. You should understand my painstaking efforts and go down to explain to your fellow disciples."

Tian Qingfeng felt much better after receiving his special explanation, and he suddenly realized that it was like this.

He had also heard about the annual payment for the prize. With their strength as all Qinglian monks, there would not be much suspense in the competition. But it was not appropriate to show off now. Could it be that they were deliberately letting the water and admitting defeat to slap themselves in the face? The best way was not to go.

"I understand." Tian Qingfeng bowed his hands and thanked him.

Looking back, Miao Yi led six riders to rumble out of the gate of Zhenhai Mountain. Who knew that while they were still on the mountain road, they saw a person flying towards them. It was none other than Wen Fang.

Miao Yi knew her intention at a glance. It was probably to deliver the monster skin. He was not free now. Anyway, the transaction was handed over to Qian'er and Xue'er.

Wen Fang's face lit up when she saw Miao Yi. She raised her hooves and stopped urgently in the wind and snow.

Who knew that Miao Yi just smiled and nodded and said hello, "Go find Qian'er and Xue'er."

Throwing down a word, he had led the team to split from her on both sides. Going away quickly.

Wenfang turned her horse back and bit her lip as she looked at the figure going away. The wind and snow stained her black hair, her eyes were a little red, and she looked a little aggrieved. She sat on her mount and panted heavily.

Qian'er and Xue'er found her as soon as they arrived in Nanxuan City. When they heard that it was Miao Yi's business, she immediately became very alert. Although Miao Yi did not give her the big deal she imagined, it was a good start. She had to let Miao Yi see her attitude.

But Nanxuan City did not have the leather that Miao Yi wanted. Wenfang immediately promised the two women that she would deliver it as soon as possible.

The amount of leather that Miao Yi wanted was not very valuable, so the higher-ups would not send a Red Lotus master to deliver it. When the news was sent to the Zhenyi Temple branch, they replied that there were some goods. But not enough.

After all, not many people in Zhenyi Temple would use talismans. The key is that talismans, which consume demon pills at one time, are too luxurious, and few people in small places would use them.

However, the goods will be transferred from the Yuexing Palace branch immediately. In order to deliver the goods to Miao Yi in time and save time, Wenfang rushed to Zhenyi City overnight. A woman, she kept on running all the way, regardless of day or night. She ran for several days and nights in the wind and snow without a break. Finally, she delivered the goods to Zhenhai Mountain as soon as possible, just to show her sincerity.

Who would have thought that her sincerity would only be exchanged for a greeting from Miao Yi. The bitterness of being ignored by a small person and being ignored for her hard work made her nose sour.

Wenfang looked at her exhausted mount, raised her hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes, took a deep breath, and gave herself an encouraging smile. She believed that as long as she worked hard, one day Miao Yi would also bring a name card to invite her like he invited Luo Ping.

With his slender hands, he pulled the wind-blown hair behind his white ears, and turned the tired dragon horse to run towards Zhenhai Mountain again...

After leading the team to Nanxuan Prefecture, Miao Yi met Yang Qing to pay the annual tribute, reported some of the conditions of Zhenhai Mountain, and went to the waiting room.

Many mountain masters have come, and many of them look at Miao Yi with strange eyes. In everyone's impression, Miao Yi rose to power with the help of Lanyumen. Now that Lanyumen has been destroyed, Miao Yi can be said to have no external assistance, and most people are gloating.

But no one dared to show it to his face. This madman could lead people to Wanxing Prefecture on the other side of Zhenbing Palace to kill Xiong Xiao. What else can't he do? So when they saw Miao Yi entering the waiting room, they all bowed and greeted him.

It was just a polite greeting. To the newcomer Miao Yi, the senior mountain masters maintained their due reserve. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were jealous of Miao Yi's rapid rise. If it weren't for Miao Yi's fierce reputation, someone would have teased him.

Miao Yi could read the same playfulness in everyone's eyes, and he didn't care about it. He didn't do anything wrong. How could you control what he was thinking? I'm afraid that the Six Saints couldn't control it. When you should think more open-mindedly, you should think more open-mindedly, otherwise you will only let others succeed and make yourself angry.

Qin Weiwei was also here. She was undoubtedly the object of the mountain masters' praise. After seeing Miao Yi smile and nod at her, Qin Weiwei stood up and walked over, also smiling: "Let's go out for a walk?"

Miao Yi hesitated a little. It might be bad if Yang Qing saw us together. But in the end, he stood up and walked out with her.

The two walked side by side, passing through the corridors with carved beams and painted buildings, chatting about some trivial matters, asking each other about their respective situations after taking office, climbing up the snowy mountains, looking around at the snowy mountains and chatting easily.

He tilted his head to glance at Qin Weiwei's beautiful face reflecting the snow, and seeing that she was not angry about the last incident, Miao Yi smiled and said, "Master Qin, I want to ask you for help with something."

Qin Weiwei looked back and said, "It seems that every time you ask me for help, it is as a friend. I still treat you as a friend. What about you?"

"Okay, Weiwei." Miao Yi changed the address.

Qin Weiwei asked curiously, "You are the mountain master now. If you have any problems, you can go directly to the mansion master. What do you need my help for?"

"It has nothing to do with the mansion master. I have a friend under your command, named Chen Fei. If it is convenient, please help take care of him."

"If you want to take him over, I will let him go."

"It's better to be with you than with me." Miao Yi shook his head. If he didn't go to Xingxu Sea, he would have asked Qin Weiwei to ask for him. If he went to Xingxu Sea and couldn't come back, and transferred Chen Fei to his side, everyone would know that he was his confidant, which might not be a good thing for Chen Fei at that time.
