Mo Xuanzun raised both of his hands and swore that there would never bea next time, unless she allowed him into her room. His second statement madeher kicked him again.
The drama between the two was finally over after that. The Cheng’s werequite pleased with the performance; after all, it was quite entertaining.
“Miss, Master asked you to go see him in the study!” announced herfather’s houseboy to her!
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded and rushed over to her father’s study right away.
She ran into Mo Xuanzun on her way so the both of them went to the studytogether.
When they arrived, her father wasn’t the only one in the study. Therewere also Manager Zhou and Elder Ying.
“Dad, Uncle Zhou, Old Man Ying!”
“Father-in-law, Uncle Zhou, Old Man Ying!”
The two greeted everyone in the room one after another. Old Man Yingstood up and greeted them back with cupped hands and a smile, “Miss, guye.”
“Oh, I see that Xiao Xiao and guye came together!” Even ZhouJinjiang added with a smile on his face.
After the last few days, Cheng Xiao Xiao had stopped complaining abouthow others refer to the certain someone. It wasn’t like she could stop themanyway, so she just let it be.
Cheng Biyuan nodded at them and said, “Have a seat!”
The two of them sat down and Cheng Xiao Xiao asked directly, “Dad, didsomething happen?”
“Matter of fact, YES!” Cheng Biyuan looked very angry, “Eleventh Elderand his family were pursued and killed by the Emperor City Cheng’s!”
“Eleventh Elder?”
Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t understand why her father reacted the way that hedid. It didn’t seem like it was any of their concerns.
Looking at his daughter’s dubious look, Cheng Biyuan recalled that hisdaughter had lost her memories from before. Suppressing his anger, he startedrecounting events about Eleventh Elder.
After her father’s recounting, Cheng Xiao Xiao understood now thatEleventh Elder was a decent person. At least he was nice to her family.Eleventh Elder had helped her father through a lot of hardship after hiscultivation was ruined; otherwise, her parents’ days at the Cheng’s would havebeen even worse.
“Aiya, father-in-law, your son-in-law recalled now that I hadinadvertently ran into the Cheng’s Eleventh Elder about a month ago when I waslooking for Xiao Xiao around Mocheng Province. At the time they were followedby some guy by the name of Cheng Xing and his group of martial spiritualists!”
“Young man Mo, can you give us more details on that?” Cheng Biyuan had heardof this Cheng Xing. He knew that he was, indeed, a member of the Cheng’s. Whathe didn’t know was that he was the leader of the group that was pursuingEleventh Elder.
Mo Xuanzun recounted the entire event of how he saved all the people aswell as the accusatory inquiries from Eleventh Elder. Instantly, Cheng Biyuanwas exuding a killer’s intent; one could tell that he was furious.
“I apologize, father-in-law. I had completely forgotten about the event;I should have let you know sooner!”
At that moment in time, Mo Xuanzun looked like an embarra.s.sed kid,apologizing to his elders for something he had done wrong. The others werebaffled by his reaction.
Even Cheng Biyuan, who was so angry that he wanted to kill someone if hecould, almost laughed out loud from Mo Xuanzun’s silly look. Who would havethought that the genius mathematician, respected by all, was just a big kid inperson?
Cheng Xiao Xiao, among all, was finding this very refreshing. She hadnever seen him like that before. She couldn’t help but to reach out and pinchedhim on his cheek like he was but a cute little kid.
After letting her pinched him a few times, Mo Xuanzun blinked and pulleddown her hand, “Xiao Xiao, why are you pinching me?”
“Cough cough cough…”
The three seniors were the one who felt awkward from the exchange. Oneby one they turned their head and looked away, pretending that they hadn’t seenanything. After she recovered from the zone, Cheng Xiao Xiao stared at theculprit and her cheeks an attractive pinkish color.
