But, looking at Old Man Ning stroking his beard with a brightsmile, he thought he had a slight idea, “Master, I’m not sure young master willgo for that!”


“You said that maiden Cheng is fair looking. As long as Zong’er isengaged to maiden Cheng, I trust that they’d treat us fairly. Then we can usetheir spiritual well and raise more mythical animals to sell. We might even beable to get an in with them!”


“Master is right!” Ko Kang immediately understood who his masterwas referring to. If they can get an in with them, the Ning’s just might becomean aristocrat of Qing"an Province. “Master, young master hasn’t been home forthree years. We will have to summon him home before we can set up an arrangedmarriage with the Cheng’s.”


“We will summon him home once the decision has been made. I wonderhow he’s doing at the School of Divine Condor. Why don’t you send someone tosummon him back for a few days?”


“Yes, Master!”


The servant and master at the Ning’s had made their decision.Inside the Cheng’s yard, only three people were there. The young ones had beenbooted to practice martial art in the bamboo forest.


Cheng Biyuan looked at this daughter, sighed lightly and asked,“Xiao Xiao, what is your plan?” Unknowingly, he had became more mindful of hisdaughter’s ideas.


“Dad, don’t worry. I trust that those at the Ning’s won’t causeany troubles!” said Cheng Xiao Xiao nonchalantly. “Dad, I want to ask your opinionon whether we should open up our own shop to sell our goods or should wecontinue to wholesale? Or you don’t want to sell any of them at all?”


“Don’t sell any of them?” Cheng Biyuan frowned, “Deacon Ko of theNing’s is already aware of our situation. I’m not sure not selling them will bean option. We risk attracting even more unwanted attention if we wholesalethem. I say we just play it by the ear for now!”


“Dad, what’s bothering you?” Cheng Xiao Xiao detected a shred ofhelplessness in her father’s eyes.


“Xiao Xiao, you don’t understand human greed!” Cheng Biyuan shookhis head lightly, “If our family is not strong enough, I think we will be takenover before we know it.”


“Dad, you mean, they will play dirty to take over what are ours?”


Cheng Xiao Xiao remembered a saying: Survival of the fittest. Aslong as the others have power and status, they will be able to take over whatbelong to the Cheng’s. The Cheng’s will need to be strong in order to keepthese people at bay.


Suddenly, Cheng Xiao Xiao thought of something else and a brightsmile appeared on her face, “Dad, you’ve forgotten. We are not helpless littlelambs. If they dare come, our two dogs are not vegetarians!”


The dogs cloned from the dimension were also mythical animals.More people would not be able to rival them, let alone that they still have 7to 8 mythical beasts and mythical air in the dimension. The Cheng’s, as oftoday, did have the ability to defend themselves.


Reminded by his daughter, Cheng Biyuan had thought about the samething. His worries slowly dissipated and replaced by strong confidence. Boldly,he announced, “Xiao Xiao, since words have already gotten out about ourmythical animals, we couldn’t cover it up for much longer. Let’s just expandour ranch and ma.s.s breed our mythical animals for sale. Let’s see who stilldare to look down upon us!”


Looking at her proud father, Cheng XiaoXiao was a bit surprised. At the same time, she had also noticed the ambitionin her father’s eyes so she nodded in agreement, “Okay, let’s see how muchinterest our mythical animals can drum up!”


Ye,Xiao Xiao, you two….” Mrs. Cheng looked more worried than happy.
