“Well, Xiao Xiao, how are you going to handle them?”
Seeing how she was remaining silent, Zhou Jinjiang got a little curious.He had heard about what had happened when Gu Junxian was here last; Cheng XiaoXiao didn’t just embarra.s.sed him a little bit, she embarra.s.sed him royally.
Cheng Xiao Xiao lifted her chin and answered with a question, “I wouldlike to know how Uncle Zhou thinks I should handle him. Do share, I just mightlisten to your advice.”
“I think…..” Zhou Jinjiang nodded and pretended to be pondering over theissue, “Xiao Xiao should just consent to whatever requests that Gu Junxian willbring up.”
Cheng Xiao Xiao snickered and said, “Alright, Uncle Zhou, since whenhave you turned into such a gossiper? I think you have way too much free timeon hand. If you have so much free time, I can surely help find some tasks tooccupy your time!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao laughed and shook her head, it wasn’t everyday when yousee someone of an older generation being such a gossiper.
“Who said I have so much free time!” Zhou Jinjiang blushed and his eyes widened,“I am just worry about you, brat. How dare you call me a gossiper? You need tolearn to respect your elders!”
Zhou Jinjiang turned and walked away after he had pulled rank.
“HO HO HO….” Chuckled Cheng Xiao Xiao and immediately put the issue behindher. As far as she was concerned, this wasn’t something that she needed toworry about.
The unexpected had happened, the second day came and gone, and so didthe third. Yet Gu Gaoyi and his family who were supposed to arrive stillhaven’t showed up.
Words had it that they have been staying in Daling.
After hearing the news, Cheng Biyuan seemed upset and unhappy.
Seeing that, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but to sigh to herself. Justbecause her father valued their friendship, it didn’t mean the feeling was.m.u.tual. Granted, as far as she was concerned, she was quite happy that the Gu’swasn’t heading to her house.
That’s definitely less ha.s.sle to her.
On the other hand, the Gu’s in town had already sent their men out andsomewhere between threatening and luring with large sum of money, they hadpurchased a 2-layered shiheyuan.
They were now staying comfortably in town. The real reason that theyhave not yet headed to the Cheng’s, however, surrounded a man in black. Theentire family had been fawning over him, like their livelihood depended on him.
They ran into this man in black on their way to Daling. He was trying totake over the Gu’s luxurious horse-drawn carriage for its comfort. Encounteringthis martial king, the Gu’s were no match of his having only martialspiritualists in their procession.
Finally, they had no choice but to give up their luxurious horse-drawncarriage and kowtow to him servilely. When they found out the man in black wasa disciple of Pillar’s Clan of Magical Sword, they were so excited they wereshort of getting down on their knees and licking his toes.
Especially Gu Junxian. Oh what he wouldn’t do If he could become thisman’s disciple, and become a part of the renowned Pillar’s Clan of MagicalSword?
The young man, however, had no intention of taking him as his disciple.He had, however, subtly implied that he would not mind taking him in as aservant.
That was a difficult decision for the usually arrogant Gu Junxian.Certainly he really desired to join the Pillar’s Clan of Magical Sword, but hedidn’t want to be anyone’s servant either. So he was still holding out hopethat the man would take him as his disciple.
The man in black couldn’t careless what Gu Junxian has in mind. PerhapsGu Junxian was talented, it’d be okay to have him as a servant. As for himbeing a disciple, giving his current circ.u.mstances….
When he thought about this, his look was even colder than before, asthough he looked down on Gu Junxian’s talent…
The more nonchalant he was, the more the Gu’s felt that he was of highstanding and the more they wanted to be a.s.sociated with him in some ways. Theyhave almost forgotten their original purpose of visiting the town of Daling.
