“That’s right, we can afford to offendthe Cheng’s. Let’s just wait three months and re-evaluate!” Old man Lin decidedto wait it out.
Old man Quan nodded, it looked like hewould just do what the other two decide on doing. If they decide to wait, he’dwait with them; if they decide to leave, he’d leave with them.
The new about the Cheng’s at Willow hadcreated yet another uproar. Other than the message directly from Cheng XiaoXiao that there would be no trades for three months, which surprised andfrustrated everyone. Another news had also startled everyone else.
There’s a master beast tamer at theCheng’s!
This piece of news had made waves amongthe public all over again!
Finally the royals had heard about it.The emperor of Dafeng could no longer remain silent. He sent men to WillowVillage at Qi’an Province to figure how many beast tamers there were at theCheng’s and whether they were regular beast tamers or master beast tamers!
As the news reached more and moreindividuals and more and more families received the confirmation of the news,gradually they were sending their men to head toward Willow. This time therewere there in preparation of purchasing mystical water and mystical animalsthree months from then.
In the neighboring city of Youyuan,everybody was also talking about nothing but the Cheng’s family. When it cameto the part of beast tamers among the Cheng’s, everybody marveled at it asthough they have seen it all with their own eyes. And every member of theCheng’s family had became instant celebrities.
Inside the largest inn in Youyuan, twomysterious patrons were dining inside their guest room while listening toothers chatting about the Cheng’s outside their room.
“Mistress, should we go check outWillow?”
The book servant in disguised in a boy’soutfit was actually a handmaid. And the comely looking scholar was a youngmaiden.
The maiden in a male scholar disguisefrowned her beautifully arched eyebrows and said, “You can go by yourself ifyou are interested!”
“Oh, don’t say that, mistress. Let’s gosee whether the Cheng’s really have a mystical spring, and whether they reallyhave beast tamers. If they don’t we’ll reveal the truth to the world and callthem liars!”
The little book servant said with anextreme sense of righteousness.
Miss Scholar casted her a glance and nonchalantlysaid, “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. Mysticalspring? I think they were all made up by ignorant people!”
“Don’t look down on others!” MissScholar picked up her tea cup and took a sip. She repeated, “There’s no need tosay that about others just because you want to go check it out. I have told youmany times in the past, don’t make snap judgements. There are many occasionsthat when even when witnessed with your own eyes you won’t be able to tell thetruth, let long something like this!”
“Mistress, what do you think? You wantto go?” Having no other comeback to her mistress’s speech, the book servantjust skip over the Cheng’s topic altogether and asked her directly to go.
Mistress scholar thought for a bit andsaid slowly, “Since we are out already, might as well wander around some.”
“I knew you’d say yes, Mistress! This isawesome! I want to see what kind of mystical beasts the Cheng’s have. If Idon’t like them, I’ll kill them all!”
“Any mischievous behavior from you and Iwon’t take you anywhere ever again!”
“I’m sorry, Mistress, I’m sorry!”
n.o.body was aware of the conversationthat took place inside the guest room, let along the Cheng’s in Willow.
On the other hand, the a.s.sociate dean ofSchool of Divine Condor have also arrived in the town of Daling. While theyhave learned about and was shocked by the news during their travel, they werenonetheless just a few days out and had no other choices but to continue on totheir destination.
