But after he listened to Cheng Xiao Xiao’s reasoning, he nodded inagreement. Afterall, if this was one way to collect mystical stones, why theh.e.l.l not?
Especially once he heard that there would be an award waiting for himafter the a.s.signment; he was so excited that he even decided to foregobreakfast. Receiving a bunch of bamboo sticks the sisters Yesu and Yecao, he took off from the Cheng’s right away andimmediately found a location to set up the roadblock.
Naturally, his reasoning was the same as everyone had found out. Theyhave to pay to get in, they were free to leave if they didn’t want to pay. Hewas extremely adamant about that.
Even the last few ent.i.ties that arrived were stopped at the roadblock.After they’ve found out about the Cheng’s ask, they weren’t sure how to reactto that. They felt that was quite a rude way to conduct business.
When young master Zhu Xiangyu found out about it, he applauded ChengXiao Xiao’s way of business immediately. They were making a boat load of moneybefore the auction had even started! Their way of conducting business wasunrivaled by even Green Mountain Manor.
After he was done appreciating her business ac.u.men, he started to cooldown and something else has occurred to him. If the Cheng’s were willing topull something like this, they would not need to rely on his family foranything in the future. It would get harder and hard to do business with them.
Even when they have some needs for them here and there right now, theywere already difficult to deal with; he could only imagine what it would belike in the future….
Thinking about the crafty Cheng Xiao Xiao, Zhu Xiangyu felt thatshe would be difficult to deal with. Not to mention that there were a lot ofmysteries surrounding her, and n.o.body would figure her out!
Even though words had it that she was very hands off in theCheng’s business, after the last few encounters with them, he dare notunderestimate her in any way. Quite contrarily, he wanted to find out hersecret ways more and more.
His eyes beamed with confident all over again and he ordered hissubordinate to pay the mystical stone quickly so they could be on their merryway to Willows.
While the drama was unfolding on the way to Willows, far away atthe School of Divine Condor, a few instructors and four a.s.sociate deansappeared in front of the dean’s hall.
After a while!
The closed door opened slowly and a family silhouette appeared.Following that, an aura that was enough to cover heaven and earth came straightat them.
They dare not be slow in greeting him. All of them bowed at thesame time and said, “Greetings, Dean.”
“Okay, no need to be so polite!”
The dean, in his pale white color robe, waved at them. Afterthey straightened up, the dean frowned disgruntledly and everybody was worried.
“You are all planning to come with me?”
Apparently, the dean wasn’t planning on taking everyone withhim. They exchanged looks with each other and n.o.body wanted to back out.
n.o.body wanted to give up on the rare opportunity to go on amission with the dean.
If they could travel with the dean and he grew fond of them,even if he didn’t take them as his disciples, just a few pointers from himwould be of immense value.
An opportunity like this would only present itself once everydozens of year; only an idiot would pa.s.s up on it.
n.o.body said a word for a while.
Naturally, the dean could see through them all. He chastisedthem in discontent, “When I asked you to go, n.o.body wanted to. Now that youhave made a mess out of everything, and….
“So is this how it is going to be? n.o.body cares about what isgoing on with the school anymore? Is that how you show your dedication? How doyou propose to manage the school like this?”
“……”
None of them dare say a word and the dean was done wasting histime to say any more. He named them out directly, “a.s.sociate Dean Jing, QiBaiyan, Gu Wu, the three of you will accompany me to pay Count Chong Yuan avisit. The rest of you are staying behind!”
