After hearing his recounting, Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned and asked,perplexed, “Eleventh Elder, then why didn’t you just come to Qing’an directly?Were you worry that my father would turn you away?”
“Of course not!” Cheng Yu shook his head and said, “I have a pretty goodidea what kind of a person Cheng Biyuan is. And that is exactly why I didn’twant to turn to him. I knew for a fact that if I ever show up at the Cheng’s,First Elder and the housemaster would come up with all sorts of ways to forceme to plot against you. I don’t want to be a p.a.w.n of theirs; nor do I want themto control us for the rest of our lives. For that, I am willing to give up mylive!”
Toward the end, Cheng Yu’s eyes was filled unadulterated hatred. Thekind of hatred that stemmed from his family being slaughtered almost made himlost his mind.
Hearing his words, Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded subtly. This Eleventh Elderwas a nice man with positive character and has his own set of principles. Ifthe asks of him exceeded his bottom line, he’d rather die than to comply. Andthat was clearly what was going on.
Perhaps he was right, but that was certainly cruelty for his family!
“Eleventh Elder, no matter what, you should return with me!”
“No, I will not go. If I go to Qing’an now, everything that I have doneup to this point would be meaningless. Whether you are inviting me, or they aretrying to force my hands, I shall not go!” said Cheng Yu in a deep voice.
“Wrong! You should come with us! You must come with us!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at him directly and asked, “Eleventh Elder, I understandwhat is going through your mind. And I very much respect that. I only have onequestion for you – do you want to avenge your family?”
“Yes! Of course! Even if it will cost me my life, I still want toslaughter the First Elder!” shouted Cheng Yu at the top of his lungs. Hatredfilled his red eyes.
“Good then. And that’s exactly why you must go with us to Qing’anProvince. If you come with us to Qing’an Province, you will have theopportunity to avenge your family. Don’t you worry, they will not be able tocontrol you. And as long as you want to avenge your family, we will back youall the way!”
Her voice was decisive and her tone serious.
Cheng Yu, who was finally beginning to calm down a little was just nownoticing that Cheng Xiao Xiao was already a martial spiritualist He wa.s.shocked. If he remembered it correctly, she wasn’t even cultivating when sheleft Emperor City. It has only been a few years and she was already a martialspiritualist? That certainly was abnormally fast!
What he didn’t know was that Cheng Xiao Xiao has only been cultivatingfor about a year; if he was to know that, he eyes would probably pop out oftheir sockets.
Seeing him that way, Cheng Xiao Xiao had a pretty good idea what wasgoing through his mind. She smiled slightly and said, “Eleventh Elder, myfather is now a martial king. Think about it, was it really no hope of usavenging your family? Our Cheng’s now is not the same Cheng’s back then,there’s not much the Emperor City Cheng’s could do to us.”
“Martial king?” Cheng Yu paused and his eyes bulged out. He askedincredulously, “You mean Cheng Biyuan is now a martial king?”
“Exactly what I meant!” nodded Cheng Xiao Xiao. She looked at him andsaid, “Eleventh Elder, you are already at apex martial spiritualist. You canbreakthrough any minute. If you come with us, I can help you become a martialking right away. You still think they could easily control you then?”
“Martial king!”
