The commotion caused by the two women was anything but small; usually, it was just a ruckus, but this time it had turned even the Cave into nothingness. Although the chaos lasted only a few moments, the disciples of Spirit Sword Mountain and Tai Shu Yi had already arrived at the scene.
Seeing the situation before him, Tai Shu Reincarnation couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. Spirit Sword Mountain was currently facing financial difficulties. In order to come out on top, they had not only refrained from putting Spirit Sword Mountain at stake but had also emptied the storerooms within the mountain, leaving them bare enough to starve a mouse.
While a single Cave might not be worth much in spirit stones, redecorating it would still require a significant amount of them. Right now, Tai Shu Reincarnation was treating one spirit stone as if it were two. Fortunately, the disciples in the mountain were still supportive; otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble would arise.
Tai Shu Yi was not particularly concerned about this; his focus was on how far Tai Shu Yun had progressed in her Realm.
"Who did this?"
Feng Miaomiao, usually a reckless person, acted like a submissive cat in front of Tai Shu Yi.
"It was Sister Yun; I was involved too, but she caused the most damage," Feng Miaomiao said, her confidence clearly wavering.
"Oh!" Tai Shu Yi replied noncommittally. "Be more careful next time; if you break anything again, you'll have to pay for the repairs." With that, he ignored everyone else and swiftly left. Upon seeing that Sword Master had spoken, the disciples scattered like birds and beasts.
Once Tai Shu Yi was gone, Feng Miaomiao patted her racing heart and let out a huge sigh of relief as she ran over to Tai Shu Reincarnation.
"Grandpa Reincarnation, you’re here too."
"Yes." Tai Shu Reincarnation snapped back to reality. "Feng Girl, what are you planning this time?"
"Grandpa, I almost forgot," Feng Miaomiao suddenly remembered her purpose for coming to Spirit Sword Mountain.
"It's about those elders; your Spirit Sword Mountain has been recklessly collecting materials and disrupting the market balance of Star Domain. They sent me to ask how you plan to resolve this issue. They're just a bunch of bored people with nothing better to do, and they need someone to come and inquire."
Tai Shu Reincarnation immediately understood what was going on. Ever since he had rejected a purchase proposal from a Co-Governance Council Steward in this area last time, he knew something like this would eventually happen. He just hadn't expected that they would insidiously send Feng Miaomiao over.
"Feng Girl, what does your master think?"
"It was only because my master agreed that I was sent here," Feng Miaomiao said, feeling a bit wronged. She really didn't want to come; it wasn't that she couldn't see through the complexities of this place, but since her master had spoken, she had no reason to refuse.
"Your master agreed to the Elder Council's arrangement?" Tai Shu Reincarnation narrowed his eyes at this news. There must be something wrong; otherwise, with that person's sharpness, they would never involve their disciple in such matters.
"Alright, you can go meet your uncle later," he said casually as he walked away.
Feng Miaomiao was stunned. Her intention was for Tai Shu Reincarnation to go meet Tai Shu Yi, but unexpectedly, he just left without saying anything, leaving her to face the person who made her heart feel cold. Suddenly, her world seemed to darken.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she rushed in front of Tai Shu Yun with a flattering smile.
"Sister Yun, how can you bear to see me like this?"
Tai Shu Yun's anger came quickly and left just as fast. Seeing Feng Miaomiao's pitiful appearance softened her heart. Just as she was about to agree, her grandfather's voice reached her ears.
"Let her go alone."
Tai Shu Yun was taken aback and then looked at Feng Miaomiao with a troubled expression, conveying helplessness.
"Will you help or not?" Feng Miaomiao sensed that being soft wouldn't work and prepared to resort to threats.
"I'll tell you this: whether you want to help or not, you have to help. Otherwise, I'll let everyone know you have someone special in your heart."
"Do as you wish." Although Tai Shu Yun didn't understand why her grandfather would say that, she decided to follow his instructions. After all, she was curious about what kind of relationship her uncle had with this beauty before her.
"Alright, you're ruthless," Feng Miaomiao said, fully committed now.
"It's not that I won't help; it's just that I can't. But there is someone who can help you." Seeing Feng Miaomiao like this made Tai Shu Yun unable to resist adding one more thing instinctively.
"Who?" Feng Miaomiao exclaimed, her face lighting up with a stunning smile like that of a proud peacock. "Quick, tell me, my dear sister! When you get married, I'll prepare a grand gift for you."
Tai Shu Yun's face flushed like the sun, and she spat in annoyance.
"Who wants your gift? Fine, I'll tell you. The only one who can help you on this mountain is him."
"Him?" Feng Miaomiao was puzzled. Who could he be? Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her head, and she looked surprised.
"Your him isn't that him, is it?"
Tai Shu Yun nodded silently.
"Where is he now? Can he really help me?" Feng Miaomiao was skeptical; she knew very well what kind of person Tai Shu Yi was. Even the elders of the Co-Governance Council wouldn't give him face.
"Only he can help you. He's right here on the mountain."
"What? He's on the mountain?" Feng Miaomiao became even more curious. She knew everyone on Spirit Sword Mountain and couldn't imagine who could make her close friend and rival so infatuated.
"I'll take you to him." Tai Shu Yun also wanted to see Zuo Dao and found a perfect excuse. Seeing this, Feng Miaomiao couldn't help but realize her intentions.
With such a commotion between the two women, Zuo Dao certainly knew about it. However, he was currently very busy with a pile of materials that needed his assistance in refining. The spot in the Cave that once held heaps of materials had now been replaced by towering storage bags.
He just didn't expect the two women to come looking for him.
Feng Miaomiao curiously sized up the young monk in white robes before her. No matter how she looked at him, she felt he was better than herself. He wasn't particularly handsome but had an unforgettable aura.
Tai Shu Yun stood beside Feng Miaomiao, feeling a bit awkward.
"Young Master Zuo, Senior Sister Feng has something she needs help with." After clearly explaining Feng Miaomiao's intentions, she stared at Zuo Dao with wide eyes.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Dao immediately grasped the gravity of the situation. The recent commotion caused by Spirit Sword Mountain had been too significant, and they hadn't offered any benefits in return, leading to trouble knocking at their door. It seemed to be related to the imposing figure of the young woman before him and her master, which further implicated Tai Shu Yi.
His head began to throb; what was going on? It turned out that the Earth Altar Star Domain had an organized, disciplined, and sizable underground society. Zuo Dao felt like cursing—if he didn't resolve this issue quickly, he wouldn't find peace anytime soon.
He brought along the two women and headed straight for Tai Shu Yi. After all, they were in this predicament because they were trying to help him.
Tai Shu Yi seemed to understand their purpose and didn't say much. He was also quite troubled by the matter; it was clear that the Elder Council's true intention was to target Feng Miaomiao's master. How could that foolish woman not see it and instead send her disciple over?
As for the two women, he couldn't speak directly about it but cast a pleading glance toward Zuo Dao.
In truth, Zuo Dao didn't mind such troubles. If it became impossible to resolve, he could just take down that so-called Co-Governance Council. He had noticed a change in his temperament after emerging from seclusion—he had developed a slight inclination towards violence. While he could suppress it at Spirit Sword Mountain, constantly doing so wasn't a solution. He understood that sometimes it's better to let things flow than to block them.
Since Tai Shu Yi had handed this problem over to him, he decided not to be overly polite and turned directly to Feng Miaomiao.
"About this Elder Council issue, what do they plan to do? They need to present some regulations. We can't just be blamed for disrupting the market stability of the Star Domain without any justification."
"My name is Feng Miaomiao, not 'Feng Cat'." Feng Miaomiao was taken aback by Zuo Dao's brazen remarks. "You think I don't want that? But the Elder Council has already demanded that you submit all materials acquired during this time and then await their decision."
"What? The Elder Council is being too domineering! We acquired these items through normal channels and haven't sold them; why should we hand them over?" Zuo Dao felt that the members of the Elder Council were more oppressive than modern-day city management officials.
"Those old geezers only know how to play this card. If you refuse to comply, they'll send Enforcers after you. Can Spirit Sword Mountain withstand those Enforcers?" Feng Miaomiao was getting anxious; it seemed like this person was completely unwilling to compromise, which was not good for her—she didn't want anyone from Spirit Sword Mountain to get hurt.
"And who are you to make decisions on behalf of Uncle Yi?"
"Just because I'm an Elder Disciple of Spirit Sword Mountain," Zuo Dao recalled his own identity once again.
"What? Elder Disciple?" Feng Miaomiao was completely stunned. The person in front of her, who was even younger than her, was actually the Elder Disciple of Spirit Sword Mountain?
"That's right, I am the new Elder Disciple of Spirit Sword Mountain. As long as it's related to Spirit Sword Mountain, I have the final say," Zuo Dao proclaimed confidently, as if he were beating a drum to announce his authority.
Tai Shu Yi, sitting at the top, gave Feng Miaomiao an encouraging look, feeling delighted inside. With this person taking charge, there was nothing to worry about.
"But those Enforcers are really powerful; some of them are even stronger than my uncle," Feng Miaomiao knew the background of those Enforcers well. They were high-quality fighters created by the Co-Governance Council using vast resources.
"So what?" Zuo Dao seemed a bit distracted; there were a few batches of pills in the cave that were about to be ready, and he needed to hurry back.
"As long as they dare to come, I'll make them understand why the flowers of Spirit Sword Mountain are so vibrant." With that, he had already vanished from sight.
Feng Miaomiao stood there foolishly and asked, "Does Spirit Sword Mountain have flowers?"
Tai Shu Yi and Tai Shu Yun also looked bewildered.
"When did Spirit Sword Mountain ever have flowers?"
