“Dad, where is Eleventh Elder now? I am guessing your intention is tosave him and bring him back?” Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t going to let anyone hadthe opportunity to make fun of her. So she just raised the question directlyand pretended nothing had happened.
Cheng Biyuan nodded and said, “The Emperor City Cheng’s don’t have muchhumanity left in them anymore. What wouldn’t they do for their own gains? Ourmen inadvertently found out that the Cheng’s had sent out a lot of men headingin the Mocheng direction but we didn’t know why. It was after furtherinvestigations by our men before we learned that they were all headed forEleventh Elder.”
“We didn’t know about this before. Now that we are aware of it,naturally we can’t just sit by and do nothing about it. Why don’t you and ElderYing take a trip to Mocheng Province and bring them here?”
“Mr. father-in-law, your son-in-law is willing to go with Xiao Xiao tosave these people. How about we let Old Man Ying stay here, what do you say?”
Mo Xuanzun volunteered himself; he didn’t want to miss any opportunityto spend with the love of his life.
“Oh? You two going together?” Cheng Biyuan was a bit surprised. Afterall, Mo Xuanzun has very prestigious status; he hadn’t planned on having himtake care of these kind of matters for them.
Mo Xuanzun, full of smile, nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. father-in-law, Iwill accompany Xiao Xiao. Old Man Ying can stay back and take care of the ranchand the mystical fields!”
“Guye, we have specific people for these tasks, I don’t think I’dneed to do that!” Old Man Ying felt that he was being treated unjustly. Hewasn’t the one who offered to accompany the Miss on the mission; yet the guyestill chalk it up to him.
Mo Xuanzun squinted and looked at Old Man Ying with razor sharp eyes,“What? You can’t even watch out on the ranch and mystical fields even when youare at home?”
“Of course, guye, I will take good care of them!” With a chilldown his spine, Old Man Ying made promises immediately.
“That’s better. Don’t let Xiao Xiao had to worry about anything athome!”
“And just what does that have to do with you?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao a.s.she pouted a little but she didn’t know too displeased about what he said. Shesaid to Cheng Biyuan, “Dad, if that’s the case, I better head out to look forEleventh Elder sooner rather than later. And this tool had met him onealready!”
“Okay, just be careful on your way. Coming back soon and don’t digress!”Cheng Biyuan told them.
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and said, “Dad, don’t worry. We will be fine!”
“Hrm…” Cheng Biyuan didn’t really trust her words. She said the samething last time, but she almost died on her trip. He turned toward Mo Xuanzunand said to him, “Young man Mo, you take good care of Xiao Xiao and bring herback safely!”
“Yes, Mr. father-in-law. Even if that means my life, you son-in-law willmake sure Xiao Xiao comes back unharmed!” said Mo Xuanzun ever so seriously.
“Don’t say things like that. You both come back safely!” Cheng Biyuansmiled and was progressively more pleased with this official guye. Hewas started to look at him as one of his own child.
“Alright, let’s go. You guys are men, right? Stop being so sappyalready!”
“Okay, be on your way then!”
Then two turned and left one after another. The three seniors couldn’thelp but smiled lightly. Old Man Ying smiled and said, “Miss has certainlyfound herself a good guye!”
“He is a good guye. I thought any man that Xiao Xiao would fallfor would be someone more a.s.sertive. I never expected a big kid like MoXuanzun. That was quite surprising!” sighed Mo Xuanzun.
Cheng Biyuan nodded as well, “That is true. Xiao Xiao is tough on theoutside and soft on the inside; Mo Xuanzun was tough on the inside and soft onthe outside. The two of them compliment each other very well. That’s a verygood thing!”
