Transmigration with QQ Farm

Chapter 69 part 4

Expansion of The House; A Deal Was Made (4)

Cheng Biyuan cupped his hand and returned the courtesy and asked surprisingly, “You are the young lord of Green Mountain Manor? We didn’t realize that you will be visiting us, pardon us for failing to welcome you at the entrance!”

“No need to be so polite, master Cheng. Pardon me for visiting unannounced. I’ve brought with me some small gifts, nothing too fancy. I hope you will accept!”

“Oh, you didn’t have to. Young lord, c’mon in, this way please.”

“Thank you, master Cheng.”

Zhu Bo followed Cheng Biyuan into their courtyard and took a seat. Zhu Bo did not look down on the host because of the simple and bare surrounding and remained as respectful as he was. Cheng Xiao Xiao grew a bit fond of him upon seeing that.

Cheng Xiao Xiao had just learned of Green Mountain Manor from her mother just a few days ago. It was said that they were the wealthiest family in Dafeng and not one of the top families or the top nine sect. And the one sitting in front of them right now was the lord of the manor.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are filthily rich. Rumor had it that the past three generations of the Zhu’s were all prodigies in the business world. Their presence could be seen across all industries. Not only had they established their business empire within Dafeng, their businesses further extended into many countries of all sizes outside of Dafeng. The amount of wealth they have acquired has astonished many but nobody dare plotting against them.

Of course, the Zhu’s knew when to do what is necessary. Whenever a natural disaster hit in one of the counties, they will donate a large sum of money to help with the victims and the rebuilding of their homes. They were well respected among the commoners so normal royalties wouldn’t dare to act against them.

Naturally, the Zhu’s weren't born yesterday either. Rumor had it that they had under them a large army of secret security guards that watched over them and that was the reason why nobody was able to touch their wealth to this day.

Cheng Xiao Xiao was a bit surprised by his appearance. She didn’t think that Lai Yue Inn in a such small town like Daling was part of Green Mountain Manor’s business thus the honor visit of such a wealthy man.

That being said, what the Cheng’s has was definitely worth his trip!

Thinking about the items that she needed, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but to eyed him one more time. This guy was so rich that he could be dripping money from his pores, he should have no shortage of the items that she was looking for. Perhaps it could be mutually beneficial to trade with him.

“This must be Miss Cheng?”

 A gentle voice interrupted Cheng Xiao Xiao’s crazy thoughts. Meeting his sparkling eyes, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but felt a little startled.

This person was definitely not just any one!

They both had the same thought at the same time. Seeing that he had inquired about his daughter, Cheng Biyuan introduced her to him immediately, “Young lord, she is my oldest daughter, Cheng Xiao Xiao!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao, regaining her composure, took a few steps forward and bowed lightly, “Greetings from the peasant Cheng Xiao Xiao, young lord!”

“Greetings, it is nice to meet you!” Zhu Bo cupped his hands and returned the courtesy. It was extremely respectful of him to treat her that way given his status.

Afterall, not only was he a wealthy young lord with high status, he was also a generation older than her. His returning her courtesy meant a lot of respect for Cheng Xiao Xiao.

Cheng Biyuan was very pleased with his manners. That was his personality, if someone treats his family nice, he would treat him even nicer.

This person standing in front of them had just won over the fondness of all the Cheng’s. Cheng Biyuan said to his daughter, “Xiao Xiao, why don’t you sit and join us?”

“Miss Cheng, it will be a pleasure!”

He was certainly a well spoken individual and his mannerism was courteous but not over the top. Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled at him and sat down next to her father.

They exchanged some pleasantries as they enjoyed the tea. Before long, Zhu Bo finally got to his point, “Master Cheng, I’ve have heard that your family is in possession of mystical well and mystical animals so I came to see for myself. I wonder if that will be okay?”

“Okay, of course it will be okay!” If it was anyone else, Cheng Biyuan would have just ignored, but for the current company, he happily agreed.

Cheng Biyuan accompanied them out of the house but Cheng Xiao Xiao stayed behind.

Approximately one hour later they finally returned, chatting and laughing. Cheng Xiao Xiao nonetheless noticed the surprised look that Zhu Bo had failed to cover up entirely. Obviously, he was still surprised by what he had just seen.

From Cheng Xiao Xiao’s perspective, the more surprised he was, the better it would be for her. She couldn’t help but smiled slightly.

“Looks like Miss Cheng is in a pleasant mood!”

Meeting Zho Bo’s look, Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded, “You mean, everybody is in quite a good mood!”

“HAHAHA…”

Zhu Bo let out a hearty laugh. Indeed, he was in a good mood. Thinking about the fact that the four powers all stumbled in front of the Cheng’s just not too long ago, but he was able to win the Cheng’s hospitality, how could he not be happy?

And he wasn’t the only one. Even Deacon Bai, Deacon Lin, and Innkeeper Zhu were equally happy. Afterall, being able to negotiate a long time deal with the Cheng’s would earn them all handsome bonuses. And that was part of the reason they were so happy!

“There was nothing special about this place before, but after Mr. Cheng’s transformation, this place might just become the sacred land that everybody yearn for. Such an amazing place indeed!”

Cheng Biyuan smiled and nodded. Then said humbly, “Young lord is teasing. These kind of small places, we are just trying to transform it to make it more comfortable for our family is all!”

“Master Cheng. I am very serious when I said that!” Slowly, Zhu Bo’s smile gave way to a more serious look, “Generally speaking, this place might be a bit inferior to the locations of all other powers’ locations; however, even though this place is a bit on the remote side, but the surroundings are nice. It is surrounded by a lot of mountains. Specifically the one on the eastern side, there are a lot o vicious beasts hidden in there, those will all become the Cheng’s resources.

“In addition, the Cheng’s possesses a endless mystical spring. You can produce an unlimited amount of mystical beasts, mystical crops, and mystical herbs. Basically all the items that are well sought after. This is another big resource for the Cheng’s. Just these factors alone, nobody can stop the Cheng’s from rising up.

Not to mention that master Cheng already own a group of mystical beasts and you are actively recruiting disciples. It is just a matter of time before you start your own sect. Who would are to look down on this place in the future? In my humble opinion, in the next few years, the Cheng’s will continue to grow in both power and status and become a very major player in this land. Even the most elite One Clan, One Hall, One Palace, One Valley would not look down at this place.”

After his analysis, everybody there was moved. Even the way Cheng Xiao Xiao was looking at him has changed. As for the men that he brought with him, there was an incredible amount of envy along with fear and respect. After all, for most others, it will take generations to become one of the most powerful families, if at all. Yet the Cheng’s will be able to accomplish that in merely a few dozen years.

“Young lord is exaggerating. We won’t be able to accomplish that, just want to make a living is all. Young lord is just teasing us!” said Cheng Biyuan lightly as he shook his head.
