Naturally, Cheng Biyuan understood what he was trying to convey, but hedidn’t express his opinion. Knowing the way his daughter was, she wouldn’tstand to let anyone wrong her even just a little bit. On top of that, Gu Gaoyihad been ignoring his family and their situation the entire time, they nolonger have much friendship remain to speak of. He surely wasn’t happy aboutthat. If they truly try to call off the betrothal at the auction, then….
His daughter most likely wouldn’t mind helping them loosen up some withthat giant fan of hers!
“My Lord, the three top powers from Emperor City are here as well!” ZhouJinjiang brought up another topic.
That, too, was another headache for Cheng Biyuan.
The Cheng’s of Emperor City!
The thought of this family brought a bleak look on Cheng Biyuan. Helaughed coldly and said, “I’m glad they came. Save me a trip to go look forthem!”
“Yes, but we really can’t act upon it….” Sighed Zhou Jinjiang slightly.
It was never a good idea to wave your family’s dirty laundry in public.No matter what the outcome, you still made a fool out of yourself.
And that applied to the Cheng’s as well.
Cheng Biyuan understood what he meant by that. Smiling slightly, hesaid, “If they don’t care, neither do it. People would be able to tell who’s inthe right and who’s not. I don’t mind collecting interest first!”
“Truly the good and the bad are all going to come all at once,” ZhouJinjiang shook his head and laughed.
“……”
Zhou Jinjiang glanced at the onewho was remaining silent, “If only we have two martial emperors to guard us, wewouldn’t have to worry about a thing. I’m afraid there will be a few attendingthis even who was above the level of a martial emperor. If that’s the case, itwouldn’t matter how many mystical beasts we have, they would just becomepointless sacrifices!”
“We will do the best defense that we can, and have faith in Xiao Xiao’sability!” For some odd reasons, Cheng Biyuan thought about his oldest daughterimmediate. A bitter smile appeared on him, “Look, me, Cheng Biyuan, iscompletely relying on his daughter now!”
“Alllright, My Lord, are you trying to gloat about how lucky you are?You must be teasing, I couldn’t even rely on my children if I wanted to. I amrelying on my niece!”
“Nonsense, you are not even making any sense at all now!” Cheng Biyuanbusted out laughing.
Zhou Jinjiang glanced over at him and said in a solemn tone, “That is.e.xactly the way I look at it!”
“Okay, enough of messing around…”
“I am not kidding. I am dead serious, that I am relying on my niece!”said Zhou Jinjiang in the most serious tone he could muster.
Cheng Biyuan looked at him, speechless.
The two brothers continued to chat away in the study.
Inside the dimension, Cheng Xiao Xiao was browsing at her treasures inthe warehouse.
Rows and rows of numbers flashed past and the smile on her fair facenever diminished.
Bored, Little Yuteng sat and played with her fingers on the other sidde.She didn’t understand. She had committed all these numbers to memory long timeago. If that’s what her young mistress wanted to know, she could have told herright away.
And now, she was just examining them one at a time. She was bored out ofher mind just watching her.
“Snow ginseng….”
Cheng Xiao Xiao paused in the middle of tapping on the screen. Theamount they have in stock surprised her. Should she say that little Yuteng wasjust that good? They have over 1,000 snow ginseng, that was no small feat!
Suddenly, Cheng Xiao Xiao thought of a few members of the household andshe turned her head slightly to look over at the pouty little Yuteng, “littleYuteng, are all of our snow ginseng of the same age?”
“Of course not, they are of a variety of ages!” smiled little Yuteng.
“Oh, that’s wonderful. Little Yuteng, if my dad and Uncle Zhou wants tobreakthrough to the next level, what age’s snow ginseng should they use?”
