Just when she was about to give up, a young man was coming back from theoutside. When Nan Qingqing took a good look at his face, she immediately lookedhappy. Before he walked all the way up, she walked up to meet him half way.
“Are you Zheng Yuan?”
Hearing the inquisitive voice, Cheng Zheng Yuan frowned. He looked atthe somewhat familiar-looking cla.s.sy woman but couldn’t recall where he hadseen her before, “And who are you?”
“Yo, Zheng Yuan, have you forgotten your aunty Gu? I even carried youaround when you were small, how did you forget about me already?” A face fullof smile, Nan Qingqing was friendly with him.
Aunty Gu?
That reference reminded him of someone. He looked at her closely againand his small face not so friendly and he said, “Oh, you mean when I was stilla child, who’d remember something so long ago? I don’t remember you!”
Cheng Zheng Yuan wasn’t all that fond of the Gu’s and definitely have nointention to pay any attention to someone who couldn’t even get inside thefront door?
“Aiya, Zheng Yuan, oh you child, hey, wait!!”
Cheng Zheng Yuan dashed inside his house while Nan Qingqing shoutedbehind him, ignoring her completely. He didn’t want to get involved in theissues between the adults nor was it his place to muddle into his sister’spersonal matters. So the best way to handle them was to ignore them all.
Nan Qingqing, who was still standing outside, was so angry she grittedher teeth so hard she almost crushed her silver fillings. Finally, acceptingthe fact that she’d not be meeting any one, she turned and left.
The four guards standing outside let out a sigh of relief; they werequite worry that the woman who decide to make a scene there.
At the same time, Cheng Biyuan guided the visitors through all thelocations that they wanted to tour. Sure enough, the Cheng’s indeed were inpossession of a mystical well. In addition to that, everybody was also stunnedby the bamboo forest; the Cheng’s had watered the bamboo forest so much thatthey had turned it into a forest of mystical bamboos.
It was Cheng Xiao Xiao’s purpose to transform the bamboo forest into aland of mystical bamboos, in order to provide a better cultivation place forher siblings. So she had people water this place daily and forced it into amystical bamboo forest.
The visitors were sure whether they should scold Cheng Xiao Xiao forbeing so wasteful or to be envious of the Cheng’s siblings for having such agenerous sister. This place was practically built with money!
Cheng Biyuan did not take the group back to the main building but towardthe canopy constructed for the auction. Their arrival had caught othersattention immediately. At the same time, those who had been happily snacking onall sorts of fruits and melons also knew that the auction was about to begin.
Everybody put down their delicacies and walked toward the platform inthe front. Cheng Biyuan, along with a few of his men, walked onto the platform.
Many of these who were attending today were seeing Cheng Biyuan for thefirst time but everyone knew of his life’s story. Right now, when he stood infront of everyone, his cultivation level stunned everyone present.
“Did they say he had lost all his cultivation and turned into a cripple?How is he a martial king now?”
“That’s so odd. Is this really the Housemaster Cheng Biyuan? He is amartial king now?”
“Martial king? The crippled from all the rumors is now a martial king?Is this some sort of a sick joke?”
“That wasn’t even funny. Is it true?”
“If Cheng Biyuan is truly a martial king now, I wonder how the EmperorCity Cheng’s feel about this? Are they regretting about their past decisionright about now?”
“…..”
Those standing below the platform couldn’t help but gossip. No matterhow softly they were whispering, everybody in the front were all martialspiritualists or martial kings; no matter how soft the whispering, they couldstill hear every word.
