Lots of Drama; Beautiful Scholar

“That’s right, we can afford to offend the Cheng’s. Let’s just wait three months and re-evaluate!” Old man Lin decided to wait it out.

Old man Quan nodded, it looked like he would just do what the other two decide on doing. If they decide to wait, he’d wait with them; if they decide to leave, he’d leave with them.

The new about the Cheng’s at Willow had created yet another uproar. Other than the message directly from Cheng Xiao Xiao that there would be no trades for three months, which surprised and frustrated everyone. Another news had also startled everyone else.

There’s a master beast tamer at the Cheng’s!

This piece of news had made waves among the public all over again!

Finally the royals had heard about it. The emperor of Dafeng could no longer remain silent. He sent men to Willow Village at Qi’an Province to figure how many beast tamers there were at the Cheng’s and whether they were regular beast tamers or master beast tamers!

As the news reached more and more individuals and more and more families received the confirmation of the news, gradually they were sending their men to head toward Willow. This time there were there in preparation of purchasing mystical water and mystical animals three months from then.

In the neighboring city of Youyuan, everybody was also talking about nothing but the Cheng’s family. When it came to the part of beast tamers among the Cheng’s, everybody marveled at it as though they have seen it all with their own eyes. And every member of the Cheng’s family had became instant celebrities.

Inside the largest inn in Youyuan, two mysterious patrons were dining inside their guest room while listening to others chatting about the Cheng’s outside their room.

“Mistress, should we go check out Willow?”

The book servant in disguised in a boy’s outfit was actually a handmaid. And the comely looking scholar was a young maiden.

The maiden in a male scholar disguise frowned her beautifully arched eyebrows and said, “You can go by yourself if you are interested!”

“Oh, don’t say that, mistress. Let’s go see whether the Cheng’s really have a mystical spring, and whether they really have beast tamers. If they don’t we’ll reveal the truth to the world and call them liars!”

The little book servant said with an extreme sense of righteousness.

Miss Scholar casted her a glance and nonchalantly said, “How do you know they are fakes? What if it’s true?”

“Oh, mistress. They can fool the others, naturally you won’t believe in such nonsense made up by the commoners. Mystical spring? I think they were all made up by ignorant people!”

“Don’t look down on others!” Miss Scholar picked up her tea cup and took a sip. She repeated, “There’s no need to say that about others just because you want to go check it out. I have told you many times in the past, don’t make snap judgements. There are many occasions that when even when witnessed with your own eyes you won’t be able to tell the truth, let long something like this!”

“Mistress, what do you think? You want to go?” Having no other comeback to her mistress’s speech, the book servant just skip over the Cheng’s topic altogether and asked her directly to go.

Mistress scholar thought for a bit and said slowly, “Since we are out already, might as well wander around some.”

“I knew you’d say yes, Mistress! This is awesome! I want to see what kind of mystical beasts the Cheng’s have. If I don’t like them, I’ll kill them all!”

“Any mischievous behavior from you and I won’t take you anywhere ever again!”

“I’m sorry, Mistress, I’m sorry!”

Nobody was aware of the conversation that took place inside the guest room, let along the Cheng’s in Willow.

On the other hand, the associate dean of School of Divine Condor have also arrived in the town of Daling. While they have learned about and was shocked by the news during their travel, they were nonetheless just a few days out and had no other choices but to continue on to their destination.

As to whether they were going to wait for three months before entering Willow, they haven’t decided yet. The associate dean was enraged when he saw the three crippled students. He swore he will get justice for them!

Who was the culprit?

Ning Xunzong and the lot were certain this was done by the Cheng’s because they saw a few vines coming at them before they lost consciousness. And the only person who could have vines as weapon was none other than Cheng Xiao Xiao.

Not to mention that all the students who had been to the Cheng’s were thrown out of Willow by vines. All evidence point to the fact that the culprit must be Cheng Xiao Xiao.

But why did Cheng Xiao Xiao attacked them? This was another mystery. Even though he didn’t have an answer for that question, the associate dean still waved his hand and decided to go find out from Cheng Xiao Xiao the next day after he had gotten some rest.

After leaving Daling, Zhu Bo returned back to his own territory at the fastest speed possible along with his mystical animals and water.

Green Mountain Manor!

Zho Bo did not rest after returning to his manor but immediately summon his son into his study.

Not too much time had passed by when a straight-standing young man appeared in front of him. His handsome face looked a lot like that of Zhu Bo; he was, indeed, his son Zhu Xiangyu.

“Dad, you are home!” Zhu Xiangyu greeted his father, walked over, and sat down in an empty seat.

Zhu Bo nodded lightly and, looking at his just twenty year-old son, asked, “What’s the situation like in all the countries? I trust that nothing serious had happened?”

“Dad, what else could have happened? The most discussed topic currently is still the Cheng’s at Willow. It’s causing havoc in Dafeng.”

Recalling all the news and rumors about the Cheng’s lately, Zhu Bo couldn’t help but to smile brightly.

Casually leaning up against the chair, Zhu Xiangyu replied mindlessly and asked, “Dad, you just got back. Why did you summon me rather getting some rest?”

“Because I have things to discuss with you, of course!” Zhu Bo stared at his son who’d only relax in front of his own family and said lightly, “You don’t have much going on lately. So why don’t you make a trip for me and go back to Willow Village in Qing’an Province?”

“What? Willow again?”

Zhu Xiangyu furrowed his sword-like brows and said, “Dad, it seemed you have just arrived home, and from that exact place no less. Why do we need to go again? Something else happening at Willow Village?”

“Nothing’s happening!” replied Zhu Bo while shaking his head slightly, “I need you to make a delivery to the Cheng’s. Nothing could happen to this delivery.”

“Delivery?” Zhu Xiangyu looked much more serious and sat up straight, “Dad, do we need to invite the elders to discuss?”

“No need. I summoned you because I want to you take care of this. No need for the elders!” smiled Zhu Bo lightly. He thought about Cheng Xiao Xiao, and looked at his precious son in front of them, and felt very contended.

Zhu Xiangyu was very sensitive. He noticed the odd way that his father was looking at him and raised his defense, “Dad, are you plotting something else? Don’t try to set me up! Otherwise, I am not coming home ever again. I will go to mom’s and leave you here by yourself!”

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Zhu Bo was slightly embarrassed being blackmailed by his own son. He put on faked sternness and said, “What plot? I just want you to make a delivery to the Cheng’s. On top of that, I want you to stay for a while at Dafeng and keep an eye out on all the power players out there and the sales of the Cheng’s mystical water and animals. All these have much to do with our businesses, you understand?”
