Chapter 446: The Calm Before the Storm

Miao Yi asked curiously, "If I recall correctly, didn't I demote you already? How did you get reinstated?"

Liu Xinggong didn't know how to answer this question and only stuttered unintelligibly. Zhou Huan hurriedly stepped forward with cupped fists and responded, "Mountain Chieftain, Liu Xinggong is a highly capable subordinate. After gaining the two Aunties' approval, he was reinstated to his former position."

Miao Yi sized him up and asked, "Don't tell me you were also reinstated to your former position because you are a highly capable subordinate?"

This was a rather strange question to ask. Zhou Huan revealed an awkward expression, unsure of how he should answer.

Miao Yi turned around and looked at Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who lowered their heads quietly—they had failed to live up to their Master's expectations. However, so much had happened these past ten years that they couldn't explain it all on such short notice.
