It seems Miao Yi had misunderstood Sun Lianping. This was not his own personal issue, but a mindset instilled upon the entire Traversing Water Palace.
Miao Yi could even understand why the bastard that sent Qi Xiuhong to the Subjugation Crusade was able to do so so easily, when even Huo Lingxiao, as powerful a Hall Master as he was, had to cover up the fact that he had sent him to the Subjugation Crusade. For a mere Manor Head to be able to publicly do such a thing just because he coveted his subordinate's body, without fear of repercussions of any sort, it was easy to imagine how preposterous the rules around this place were!
Miao Yi continued pondering all the way till dawn, but he still couldn't figure out what to do with this situation. He pushed open the window and stood by it, gazing out into the distance from within Raincloud Manor as he helplessly released a sigh.
