“Lai Yue Inn, son of the Lord of Green Mountain Manor, young master ZhuXiangyu had been in business with the Cheng’s this entire time. He just mightbe the only one who had a shred of idea with regards to what the Cheng’s wouldbe selling!”
“If Zhu Xiangyu knows, we should find an opportunity to ask him about.i.t!” Elder Fan made a split second decision.
Naturally n.o.body objected to that!
Cheng Xiao Xiao had just returned from cultivating in the dimension andshe heard chattering from the courtyard downstairs; it was Yesu and ZhouJinjiang, the manager.
“Uncle Zhou, what’s the matter?” Walking down the stairs, Cheng XiaoXiao asked the ones that were still lingering.
Zhou Jinjiang smiled when he saw her, “Xiao Xiao, about time you showup. I need to talk to you about something!”
“What? Some other matters that Uncle Zhou couldn’t take care of?” smiledCheng Xiao Xiao. Her eyes rolled around and she asked, “Is this about the newservants? You finished screening them already?”
“Exactly that. It’s almost time for the auction and I have about 50 orso people who are somewhat decent. Xiao Xiao you take a look at the foryourself!”
“Okay, not a problem. Just send them over, Uncle Zhou!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded, as far as loyalty from these individuals wereconcerned, all she needed to do was to toss them into the dimension. Thedimension was the best transformation machine.
A group of men and women of various ages appeared in Cheng Xiao Xiao’scourtyard. They all appeared very respectful from their looks; as for theirtrue feelings internally, that’s everybody’s guess.
If she wasn’t so worried that there would be spies among them, shewouldn’t indiscriminately toss everybody into the dimension. Unfortunately, theCheng’s were just starting out, they couldn’t afford to take the risk and loseeverything that they have built from the groun up.
It only took half a day’s time. By the time everybody came back out fromthe dimension, Cheng Xiao Xiao could tell from the way they looked at her thather effort was not wasted.
When she returned them back to Zhou Jinjiang to put them to work, the managersaw nothing but loyalty in these individual’s eyes. He was completely shocked.
He had an inkling that her secretwas far more than just being a master beast tamer, it was entirely possiblethat …..
She was also a mythical contract binder.
Mythical contract binder was definitely a whole different league!
Rumors had it that a mythical contract binder can bind any kind oflifeform. Regardless of type, as long a it has a mind, and intelligence, and aslong as the mythical contract binder has the will to do so, they will be ableto control these lifeforms regardless of their will.
To put it simply, a mythical contract binder can bind anyone (includingspirits) and make them their servant and their slaves.
This idea had never occurred to Zhou Jinjiang before, but after ChengXiao Xiao had shown this over and over again; he started to suspect thatpossibility.
Qing Zhu, Lu Zhu, and Cheng Chi and the lot had only been with her for afew days before they were undoubtedly loyal to her. If that was gratefulness,perhaps that was one explanation.
The most suspicious of all it was that arrogant Ying Ziliang. He was theone who had no hesitation about killing the entire Cheng’s. But not only did hedisappear mysteriously, when he resurfaced, he was also incredibly loyal toCheng Xiao Xiao right away. With the exception of her, even when it came to thehousemaster Cheng Biyuan, he was at most respectful to him. Nowhere was heclosed to loyal to him.
And now, it has been merely half a day, and these people immediatelyhave the same loyal look toward this mistress whom they had just met; how couldZhou Jinjiang not get suspcious?
