"Hehe, this is not your fault!" Xiao Hua nodded. "Let Black Bear, Golden Eagle, and White Lion worry about the demons. After all, this old man knows nothing of... demon cultivation methods. In the future, just treat them as a branch of the Creation Outer Gate!"
"Yes, Master is wise~" Qin Xiaoyao said with a fawning smile. "That is all there is concerning the Creation Sect. After all, too little time has passed, and this disciple has not been able to accomplish much."
"Good!" Xiao Hua nodded, then called out, "Where is Liu Yi?"
"This servant is here!" Hearing this, Liu Yi hurried into the cave and cried, "What are Master's orders?"
"Go summon Jiang Ming, Qin Chengyi, and Jiang Haodang!" Xiao Hua ordered.
Liu Yi acknowledged the order and left. Xiao Hua looked at Qin Xiaoyao with great interest. "Xiaoyao, did you take several hundred Daoist soldiers under your wing because you feared that the demons of Black Cloud Ridge would grow too powerful for you to contend against?"
The moment Qin Xiaoyao heard this, panic appeared on his face. He dropped to his knees and kowtowed. "Master, forgive me! This disciple had no such thoughts when I did it. Yet after placing all those Daoist soldiers under the Second-generation disciples, this disciple suddenly became wary. This disciple... fears it was a natural reaction, guarding against the strength of Black Bear and the others! But the deed has already been done. If this disciple were to go back on my word now, it would be even more disadvantageous to me. Thus, this disciple could only make the best of a mistake. If Master dislikes it, this disciple will go back and correct it at once."
"Mm... since that is so, there is no need to change it!" Xiao Hua
