Lots of Drama; Beautiful Scholar (1)

"Cheng Biyuan and Luo Yuqin were both legend to be handsome and beautiful. Their daughter must be fair!"

"I've heard that Cheng Biyuan's oldest daughter's name is Cheng Xiao Xiao and she's quite pretty. We've got to check that out for ourselves, hahaha...."

"Hehe, you wish. You think she will have an eye for you?"

"HA HA HA..."

Joyous and teasing noises filled the big hall of the inn. Among them was a young man in black sitting in the corner. He was also a student of School of Divine Condor. He merely sat there quietly as he listened to his schoolmates' bantering.

Right then and there, a name entered his mind, it was none other than Cheng Xiao Xiao that the others were talking about.

His name was Gu Junxian from the Gu's in the city of Yan. He had heard this name since he was a child; a name that had brought him much shame.

The reason he felt shameful was because of a man by the name of Cheng Biyuan. Whenever the name Cheng Biyuan was brought up, Cheng Xiao Xiao would be brought up; whenever Cheng Xiao Xiao was brought up, him, Gu Junxian would also be brought up sooner or later.

Gu Junxian's fiancée was none other than Cheng Biyuan's daughter - Cheng Xiao Xiao.

Cheng Xiao Xiao's father was a useless piece of trash; his future father-in-law was a useless piece of trash.

This joke followed him through his entire childhood; now, he was finally able to be completely unaffected when these two names were mentioned in front of him, as though he was oblivious to them. Having a deep, meaningful look and a faint smile, it was as though he had merely heard the names of some strangers.

"Shi xiong Gu, have you ever heard of this Cheng Xiao Xiao?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang next to his ears. He turned slightly to look and found a more junior schoolmate of his looking at him curiously.

Gu Junxian gave him a cold look with no intention of responding to his question.

The one who asked the question smiled with slight embarrassment and stop disturbing his peace but turned his attention back to listening to others making fun of Cheng Biyuan and his family with perked ears.

Gu Junxian, with his eyes half closed, looked at though he was meditating. As to whether he could hear the bantering or not, only he'd know.

Over at the Cheng's at Willow!

Cheng Xiao Xiao was observing Innkeeper Zhu with the servants and maids of various ages and listening to him giving them lectures on rules after rules of how to be respectful and follow orders of their employers. Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn't help but nodded.

Even though she was from the modern age, she still understood that ranks and rules have their places and reasons. She had no intention to play God and therefore she was not about to advocate that everyone was an equal. She could only made the best out of living within the bounds of what was the norm.

You want to be above everyone else? Let's see if you can make that happen. You want respect from others? Let's see whether you ere able to earn that. No matter what, nobody would just hand it over to you, everything must be gained through hard work.

As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Whatever it is that you want, you'd better be prepared to pay the equivalent cost. Don't dream about it if you can afford it!

"Xiao Xiao, what are you thinking about?"

Mrs. Cheng was standing next to Cheng Xiao Xiao without her realizing it. She followed her daughter's line of sight and couldn't help but to smile, "Xiao Xiao, good job thinking ahead, now that we have Innkeeper Zhu's help in training the underlings, that's truly a lot less headaches for me."

"Mom, don't worry too much. Anything you can delegate down, you go ahead and delegate. You just need to supervise from the side."

"Oh you kid, I know that much!" Mrs. Cheng complained lightly, then sighed again, "Now that we are starting to rebuild our family all over again from scratch, there are so much to worry about."

"Mom, we are doing all these to ensure a better future!" Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled beautifully at her mother.

"Haha, you are right!" Thinking about the days to come, Mrs. Cheng also put up a happy smile. "Oh, by the way, Xiao Xiao, I almost forgot to ask you. Didn't you say the villagers will be heading out of the village today? What kind of arrangements have you made? Will that cause any trouble?"

"Mom, I have already assigned that to Yuteng. Don't worry, it will be fine!"

Cheng Xiao Xiao has already had the discussion with little Yuteng the night before. Yuteng will be commanding the mystical beasts, large and small, to hide along the mountainous roads and observe the villages and surveil for intruders. If any villagers is harassed, the mystical beasts will appear and help out.

Little Yuteng had been bored out of her mind lately. After accepting the assignment, she happily left with the mystical beasts to have some fun.

Mrs. Cheng knew that little Yuteng was a very capable fairy. She was much less worried now that she knew Yuteng was out there protecting the villagers.

"Mom, where's Lan Lan?" Cheng Xiao Xiao was a bit surprised that the naughty Lan Lan was not around to be seen.

"That little hoyden? She went with Zheng Yuan and Zheng Bin on their surveillance duties!" complained Mrs. Cheng with a smile, but her love for her children was unmistakable from her look.

Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled also, "Then let her go play. They can't study right now anyway. She should take this opportunity to have some fun!"

"That's too much playing!" said Mrs. Cheng, but she also understood that their current environment wasn't conducive to the kid's studying and learning, might as well let them have some fun.

"They should have fun in their childhood!"

"Nonsense, they need to study too!"

Both the mother and daughter's faces were filled with slight smiles. They chatted softly while gazing through the courtyard at all the busy silhouettes in a distance and looking forward to the elegant environment that would soon be done. All the graceful buildings that they could soon call home.

"Young mistress, we have a situation!"

Suddenly she heard little Yuteng's voice. Cheng Xiao Xiao stood up right away and said, "Mom, you stay home, I will be back shortly."

Then, before Mrs. Cheng could respond, she was already out of the courtyard. The abruptness caught Mrs. Cheng in surprise.

"This kid, what's with the urgency? I hope everything is alright!"

Cheng Xiao Xiao did not stay long enough to hear her mother's words. Soon as she was outside the house, a red fiery lion appeared out of nowhere. Cheng Xiao Xiao mounted the lion and told it to take off.

Innkeeper Zhu, who was instructing the servants, just happen to witness that. When he saw the appearance of the fiery lion, he was shocked speechless.

Since when did level three mystical beast became so worthless and would just appear on demand?

Everybody on this continent understand the ranking of magical beasts, for the most part they were divided into: regular vicious beast, mystical beast, sacred beast, immortal beast, and godly beast. But the residents here have only seen the regular vicious beasts and mystical beasts. Sacred beasts and immortal beasts exist only in folklore; as for godly beasts, those only existed in old text scrolls, it has been tens and thousands of years since they were last seen.

Vicious beasts evolve into mystical beasts, any vicious beast that cultivate would be considered as mystical beasts. Once they become mystical beasts, they further divide into 9 levels. Levels 1-3 are junior mystical beasts, 4-6 are mid-level mystical beasts, 7-9 are apex mystical beast. Mystical beasts that exceed the apex level would become sacred beasts.

Sacred beasts become immortal beasts in similar fashion. According to the legend, once a immortal beast becomes a godly beast, it would be able to resume a human form. Nobody on this continent has yet to witness a godly beast in it's human form.
