Transmigration with QQ Farm

Chapter 70 part 3

Lots of Drama; Beautiful Scholar

The other two only just now notice the fiery lion after they heard his voice. Their eyes bulged out and they were all shocked beyond words.

They have seen fiery lion before, but have never seen one that was a mount of a beast tamer. But from what they could tell, they were certain that this fiery lion was her mount.

Cheng Xiao Xiao did not react to their dumbfounded looks. Looking at them, she said softly, “Fellow deacon elders, I have an idea of the purpose of your trip. I am sorry to inform you that the mystical animals that you came for had already been sold yesterday. I apologize.”

“Ugh…”

The three deacon elders have regained their composure. Hearing Cheng Xiao Xiao’s words, Elder Lin smiled, “You must be Miss Cheng Xiao Xiao of the Cheng’s. We are aware of the situation you are talking about. The mystical animals might be sold out, but certainly the mystical spring isn’t. May we purchase some mystical spring water from the Cheng’s?”

“That’s right, Miss Cheng. We would like to purchase mystical spring water from the Cheng’s as well. Would that be alright with Miss Cheng?” asked Elder Du full of smile.

Elder Quan was even more courteous than the other two, “Miss Cheng, I am the deacon of Huashan Sect. I represent Huashan Sect to purchase mystical animals and mystical spring water from the Cheng’s. I hope Miss Cheng will consider our offer!”

All three of them were after the same thing. Cheng Xiao Xiao had long been expecting this scenario so she was not surprise and handing this in stride, “The three elders are so courteous. I understand your asks, but currently we are under construction to expand our family house. We are temporarily pausing any sales activities. After sometime, we will make these purchases available to the public. Can I ask you to return then?”

“Well, this….”

The three looked at each other. They didn’t expect such a respond. This was to say that their trip was a complete waste and they felt unreconciled.

Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t pay attention to their thoughts. There was now a jade vine in her hand that appeared out of nowhere. Pointing at the foothill of Mount Wanan and the expansion construction, she continued, “Please take a look, with all these going on, you can see why we have to pause our sales for the time being.”

“…..” Looking at the direction that she pointed at, they could see all the construction activities at the foothill, they could tell the work was in full swing and they were speechless.

Sure enough, the Cheng’s wouldn’t have the time of day to take care of those who were here to make purchases. If they want to buy anything from them, they will have to wait till the construction has been completed and those from the Cheng’s to free up.

But how could they return empty-handed after coming all the way to Willow?

As though she could read their mind, a quick thought and three leather water bottles appeared in her hand and she tossed them toward the three at the bottom of the hilltop.

The three water bottles flew at them at lightning speed and the riders on the horseback simultaneously reached up for them. Holding the water bottles, they looked at Cheng Xiao Xiao with questions in their eyes.

Meeting with their inquisitive looks, Cheng Xiao Xiao said, “There three water bottles are gift for the three seniors. I hope that when the three seniors departed from Willow, you can help us spread the message that the Cheng’s has temporarily halted all sales activities. We are planning to resume these activities in three months and would appreciate it if everyone could resist from disturbing Willow for the time being!

“Willow has always been a quiet village, their villagers simple and kind. I do not wish these innocent people to be harmed by others. Anyone continues to try and intrude will be responsible for their own consequences. Please help us relay this message!” After she was done, she bid them farewell with cupped hands.

With the bottles in hand, the three of them couldn’t help but to smile bitterly. They knew there were no chance of them entering the Cheng’s. Cheng Xiao Xiao’s act had left them with no more excuses.

They felt slightly better now that they have been gifted with a bottle of mystical water. Granted, they quickly figured out the real meaning behind all these and decided against proceeding any further.

“Okay, Miss Cheng. We got it, we will spread the words to the public that the Cheng’s will only resume sales activities after three months. Farewell, Miss Cheng!”

“Farewell, Miss Cheng!”

“Till next time, Miss Cheng!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao let out a light sigh after seeing them off. She hope this would buy them three months of peaceful life.

Liu Tianshan, who was still standing nearby , couldn’t help but took a look at the person standing on the hillside and asked, “Shi mei, anything else I can do for you?”

“No,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao and shook her head, “Tian Shan shi xiong, you keep surveilling this area.”

“Okay!” replied Liu Tianshan and jumped into action right away.

Cheng Xiao Xiao did not return home right away but continued to ride on the lion’s back and have him wander around.

Not too much had passed before little Yuteng appeared smiling. “Young mistress, I’ve thrown Ning Xunzong and his two friends out. Hehehe….”

“You didn’t kill them, did you?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao in jest after hearing little Yuteng’s devious laugh.

“Dead? No. Just handicapped.”

Little Yuteng waved her arm casually, “They are so annoying, coming here over and over again. I just made sure they can never walk again!”

Sure enough, Ning Xunzong and his classmates would not be able to walk again.

As it so happened, when they were following the three deacon elders that morning, they made sure they fell behind a few miles so as to avoid detection. If one didn’t know better, they wouldn’t be able to tell that they were trailing someone at all.

It was just that their appearance was spotted by little Yuteng almost immediately. Little Yuteng, who never had any good impression about the lot, certainly would not have shown them any mercy when she was ordered to throw them out.

Once they’ve followed the elders into a small wooden area, little Yuteng ordered a white tiger to go and scare the horses. How could these normally mild tempered horses not be afraid of a tiger?

One roar from the tiger and the three were thrown off their horses. Before they could even react, a few vines whipped through the air straight at them and crushed all their knee caps.

All three of them fell on the ground at the same time and screamed in pain. What they didn’t know was that the leaves on the vine had turned into sharp blades that sliced into their legs and severed their tenders into multiple parts.

The three deacon elders on their way back happened to saw the three on the road and were shocked by the harrowing state that they were in. They recognized that one of them were Ning Xunzong so they put all three of them onto their horseback and rushed back to the Ning’s resident in town as fast as they could.

That had caused a great commotion at the Ning’s. A doctor was summoned immediately to check on the three injured people.

Everybody at the Ning’s along with the students of School of Divine Condor all waited in front of the living quarter for the doctor.

“What happened to them? How did Zhou shi diand Ning shi di sustain such serious injuries?”

“We don’t know where Zhou shi di, Gu shi di, and Ning shi di went today, all we knew was that they returned injured!”

“That looked serious, you think they went to the Cheng’s at Willow?”

“No way! Hasn’t Instructor Mu gave the order that nobody was allowed to go to Willow? They wouldn’t dare, would they?”
