CHIRP!
The mystical crane responded. It was almost as if the intelligent cranecould comprehend the words of its master.
“Xiao He, we are here at the country of Dafeng and heard about what wasgoing on in Willows. Everything seemed to be related to this Cheng Xiao Xiao.Do you think we should go pay her a visit?”
……….
Xiao He couldn’t be bothered with a response. It just pretended that it didn’thear him.
It didn’t matter to Mo Xuanzun whether Xiao He responded to him or not,he continued, “My original idea is to go seek out ‘Miss Mean’ first. But we’dneed to address this Cheng Xiao Xiao issue sooner or later. Otherwise shimei Gong would nag me when she found out I never paid Cheng Xiao Xiao avisit. In light of that, I should probably sacrifice a little of my time and gopay her a visit and ask about the vine. I will take off as soon as I get ananswer from her and return to my search for ‘Miss Mean’.”
“Xiao He, let’s look around here for a little bit, then we will headtoward Qing’an Province. We will continue to search for her on our way to meetCheng Xiao Xiao. If I could locate ‘Miss Mean’ in Qing’An Province, I will takeher with me to meet Cheng Xiao Xiao. Both shi mei Gone and Miss Jun’ersaid Cheng Xiao Xiao was quite an interesting character, I am sure ‘Miss Mean’will find her amusing!”
“Xiao He, do you think you will like this Cheng Xiao Xiao? I heard shewas a master beast tamer. Do you think you will be tamed by her? I am tellingyou now, even if she could tame you. You can’t fly anyone around on you unlessit’s ‘Miss Mean’. Xiao He, I want you to be nicer to ‘Miss Mean’. If you aren’tnice to her, I will knock on your head!”

The mystical crane responded with a long, loud cry. If anyone couldunderstand it, they’d know that it was shouting all sorts of stuff at itsmaster!
Always getting distracted by the newest and shiniest toys!
A caravan of and luxurious horse-drawn carriage were chugging alongslowly on the path leading toward Qing’an Province under the protection of overone hundred guards.
There were a lot of pa.s.sengers Inside the largest horse-drawn carriage;merely three of them. It was Gu Gaoyi and his immediate family.
Gu Gaoyi, sitting crossed legged inside the carriage, looked on coldlyas his wife dotingly feeding her son Gu Junxian with food and beverage,treating him as though he was still a child.
Anyone who didn’t know better would certainly think that Gu Junxian wasa paraplegic, needed to be served hands and feet.
Yan Qingqing have noticed that her husband had looked displeased sincethe beginning of their journey. She was so angry that her eyes widened and shecomplained querulously, “Ye, whatever do you want mean by that? Are youmad at us or something? You looked so disgruntled all the time!”
“HRM!” Hrmped Gu Gaoyi in a dissatisfying manner, refusing to dignifythat with a response.
Ever since Gu Junxian had taken a 3-month long vacation from his school,he went home immediate and recounted to his parents everything that hadhappened at the Cheng’s. How terrible the Cheng’s had treated him, how cunningCheng Xiao Xiao was. Long story short, there was not one good soul in theentire Cheng’s!
What he wanted is to head over to the Cheng’s immediately to call offthe engagement. He couldn’t and wouldn’t let it happen; he’d rather die than tomarry that woman. If his family would not call it off, he’d rather die abachelor!
Under their son’s adamant request, Gu Gaoyi and Yan Qinging had nochoice but to give up their sliver of hope and agreed to his demand. He hadfurther demanded that they head over to Willows immediately. He wanted to calloff the engagement during the auction at the Cheng’s. He wanted the entireworld to know that he was the one who called off the engagement and Cheng XiaoXiao was dumped. He wanted her to be shamed in front of everyone, to avenge forhow she had treated him!
Thinking about the shame that he was about to brought onto the Cheng’s,Gu Junxian was immediately in a good mood. He was happy, even eager to arriveat the Cheng’s. He could already see it in his head. Ideally, he’d see ChengXiao Xiao regretted about her behavior. If she regretted….
Young master Gu’s imagination had gone wild, and he started all sorts offantasies about his wildest dreams coming true!
