“That’s it? Are Deacon Bai and DeaconLin idiots? Why couldn’t they do that?” Zhu Xiangyu was disgruntled about theirtwo subordinates.
Corners of Zhu Bo’s mouth formed amysterious smile, “I don’t know if they are idiots, all I know was that they couldn’trival the Cheng’s. I should say, they couldn’t rival Cheng Xiao Xiao!”
“Cheng Xiao Xiao? Is she Cheng Biyuan’sdaughter?” Zhu Xiangyu was a bit surprised, “You mean to say that Cheng XiaoXiao is more powerful than her father Cheng Biyuan?”
“I can’t guarantee whether she is morepowerful than Cheng Biyuan. But in addition to making sure our delivery arrivesafely, you also need to figure out whether the Cheng’s father and sons are themaster beast tamers or whether it is the hidden Cheng Xiao Xiao. From DeaconBai and Deacon Lin’s reports, it seems the maiden Cheng Xiao Xiao was the realmaster beast tamer!”
Hearing his father’s words, a brightsmile filled Zhu Xiangyu’s beautiful face. He nodded, “This is interesting. A16-year-old master beast tamer will definitely be more powerful than ChengBiyuan!”
“Xiang’er, there’s one more thing thatyou’d really need to look into!” said Zhu Bo as solemnly as he could.
Zhu Xiangyu noticed his dad’s solemnnessand cautiousness so he, too, became more serious, “Dad, do tell!”
“Everything the Cheng’s has came soabruptly. You will need to find out where all of them came from!”
“Huh?”
After hearing that, Zhu Xiangyu pausedfor a second and became quiet. Zhu Bo knew that his son was pondering about itso he didn’t interrupt him.
After a while, Zhu Xiangyu looked up andsaid, “Dad, you are right. All of the Cheng’s possessions appeared about 6months ago. Cheng Biyuan and his family have settled down in Willow for threewhole years. They have always been a normal family. If it wasn’t for themystical animals, n.o.body would ever notice such a small village.”
“….” Zhu Bo nodded and didn’t sayanything!
Zhu Xiangyu continued to ponder as hetalked, “Rumored had it that Cheng Biyuan sustained serious injuries andcouldn’t even get out of bed six months ago. That’s when the mystical wellappeared behind his house. Then it was the appearances of the ranch and thepond and all the other mystical animals. Everything came by so suddenly. Theseobviously didn’t belong to the Cheng’s originally!”
“You are exactly right, Xiang’er. Gooda.n.a.lysis. According to Innkeeper Zhu and Deacon Bai’s investigation, all theirpossessions seemed to have appeared out of the blue, as though they were giftedto them. Isn’t that odd?”
“That is very odd, indeed!”
Both the father and son weredumbfounded. They couldn’t figure out where all the Cheng’s possessions camefrom, each item more impressive than the last!
“Since it is so odd, we must figure outwhat is going on!” Zhu Bo gave his own son a look and smiled lightly, “Youshould be able to handle this, right?”
“Well, that’s hard to say!” Zhu Xiangyudidn’t pound his chest and make any big promises, but the twinkles in his eyeslooked as though he was taking some sort of an oath.
Zhu Bo gave a quick knock on the top ofthe table and reminded his son, “Maybe you will find the answer when you makethe delivery to the Cheng’s!”
“Oh, okay, I will give it a try!”
After the father and son had came to aconclusion, Zhu Bo told his son the list of items that Cheng Xiao Xiao hadasked for. Upon hearing that, Zhu Xiangyu was even more curious than before. Heslammed his palm on the table and decided to head toward the city of Daling a.s.soon as humanly possible.
