Transmigration with QQ Farm

Chapter 68 part 1

Crazy News; Everybody Has Their Own Thoughts

After lunch and a brief break, the villagers went back to work, leaving the Cheng's in their courtyard.

"Xiao Xiao, what are your plans going forward?" Cheng Biyuan had gotten used to asking his daughter for her opinion.

Hearing that, everybody looked toward Cheng Xiao Xiao. Lifting her brows a bit, she replied, "Dad, we just pass our days as usual. We don't need to concern ourselves with drama elsewhere. As long as they don't affect us, we don't need to pay it any attention!"

"Don't pay it any attention?" Cheng Biyuan wasn't sure if he should laugh or cry upon hearing her words. "That will be impossible. We went a little overboard this time. School of Divine Condor and the seven top families aside, even those from the nine most powerful sects as well as One Clan, One Hall, One Palace, One Valley will be onto us. I'm not sure we will be able to handle them."

"Oh, so many big shots!" grumbled Cheng Xiao Xiao. She hadn't expect so many powerful players out there. What's with the nine top sects, and the ostentatious One Clan, One Hall, One Palace, One Valley. That's certainly not a concept that she could grasp.

Honestly, she couldn't really comprehend any of these powerful forces. All she ever wanted was to guard these few acres of land and live a peaceful life with her family.

"Dad, I feel that let it be the sects or One Clan, One Hall, One Palace, One Valley, they are all very remote issues. We can put them aside for the time being. I think we should be less concerned with those from School of Divine Condor or the seven largest families from Dafeng, but more concerned with those from the Cheng's or mom's family. Those will be trickier ones to take care of."

Afterall Cheng Xiao Xiao was from the modern time. She was well versed with drama within a family. Especially in ancient times when morals were strict and one must respect their elders. Any misstep will bring about scandals from the whole world."

There would inevitably be different kind of characters among a large family, especially the stuck up elders. One couldn't hit them, scold them, or kick them out, but to bow to their every whim. Any misstep would cause one's reputation to be dragged through the mud. These were the worst type of people to handle.

Cheng Biyuan and Mrs. Cheng both paused after hearing their daughter's words. Not in a million years would they have guessed that their daughter's biggest worry was their families.

Cheng Biyuan finally returned to normal after a long while. He looked at the wistful-looking Mrs. Cheng and looked more and more somber himself, "Xiao Xiao, we will go on with our own lives. Whether it's the Cheng's in Emperor City or your mom's family the Luo's from the City of Yan, they don't have a whole lot to do with us!"

"Dad, how is that possible?" Listening to her father's irrational words, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn't help but to shake her head, "Dad, as soon as words got out about us, I am certain they will be paying us visits. On top of that, I can say for sure once they know for certain you are part of the family, they will be asking for you and mom to rejoin them."

"Preposterous!" Shouted Cheng Biyuan in a thunderously voice. Little Lan Lan to one side was so scared she went and hid inside of Mrs. Cheng's arms and looked at her angry father with fear.

Mrs. Cheng gave him a stare and patted the scared little girl. The two brothers just bit their lips and didn't say a word, but one could see the hatred they have toward the Cheng's on their faces.

Cheng Xiao Xiao didn't know what exactly happened in the past, but one thing she was certain about was that the Cheng's were probably not very nice people. They couldn't even accept their own kind, how good could they be?

Realizing that he had lost control, Cheng Biyuan quickly regained his composure. Still looking angry, he said hatefully, "They had made it abundantly clear that we have no more ties to them. From now on, live or dead we have nothing to do with them. Not to mention that they are the very cold-blooded type that had no problem taking out members of their own family. If they dare come here, I certainly won't let them off easily!"

His hateful words made Mrs. Cheng let out a big sigh. She didn't say a word but agreed with him silently.

"Mom, what about the Luo's from Yan?" Cheng Xiao Xiao changed the subject.

Before Mrs. Cheng could respond, Cheng Biyuan let out a cold laugh, "With the exception of your grandmother, none of them are decent people!"

"Ye..." protested Mrs. Cheng.

"Hrm, was I wrong?" said Cheng Biyuan as he casted her a glance, "Do you not agree? Your dad had explicitly told me to never step foot into the Luo's again when I was injured. He didn't want to be embarrassed!"

"He might have said some awful things, but he's still my father!" said Mrs. Cheng with her usual soft voice and, holding the hand of her younger daughter, returned into the house.

Cheng Biyuan was so angry that he picked up the entire tea pot and poured the tea straight into his mouth, as if he was trying to let out some steam.

"Dad, no matter what the others do, we just have to make sure we are doing our best. There's no need to get angry; it's not like the others would know. They might even be happy that you are angry, so no reason to be upset!"

"Yeah, you are right. We will just mind our own business."

Cheng Biyuan put down the tea pot and left the courtyard in hasty steps. Nobody knew where he headed.

Only Cheng Xiao Xiao and her two brothers were left in the courtyard. Cheng Xiao Xiao told her younger brother Zheng Bin to go and take a nap inside the house and left the house with Zheng Yuan.

The two of them went straight to the bamboo forest. In the deepest part of the bamboo forest, the two of them stopped in front of a mount of rocks. A mild breeze and the vivid green leaves on the bamboo made rustling sounds. The two of them each sat on top of a rock.

Cheng Zheng Yuan looked at this older sister. He looked at his sister who made him felt both familiar and strange at the same time with a lot of respect. He couldn't help but to ask, "Big sister, were you trying to ask what happened to our family in the past?"

"Precisely, Zheng Yuan. Tell me what had happened in our family. I had the right to know!" asked Cheng Xiao Xiao directly at her smart brother.

Cheng Zheng Yuan nodded, a sense of hatefulness flashed past his still somewhat childish face. Cheng Xiao Xiao was a bit surprised and her heart sank.

Slowly, Cheng Zheng Yuan started recounting the past of the family back in Emperor City.

The story began when Cheng Biyuan, the oldest boy of the Cheng's, was recognized as a genius. When he was merely a few years old, he was crowned the most famed boy genius. Cultivating was as easy to him as eating. Others need to work for years to advance one level, he advanced a level a year from preparatory to martial spiritualist. Outside of cultivation, he was also well talented in poetry, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Even the emperor praised him as a boy genius and he brought upon himself jealousy from all over.

A well-rounded boy genius allowed the Cheng's to rise in their status rapidly, almost catching up to that of the Long's. During that time, the Cheng's were the elites. Every single one of them carried an air of arrogance everywhere they went.

When Cheng Biyuan reached the age of ten, the number of suitors almost broke their front door down. Who wouldn't want such an elite to be their son-in-law? But of course the Cheng's didn't care about any of them. The elders of the Cheng's didn't think the local powers were good enough for them, including the Luo's, one of the seven top family in Yan. Rather, they aim for the best of the best - One Clan, One Hall, One Palace, One Valley.
