“Oh, is that so?” frowned the younglord, “We really couldn’t find out anything at all?”
“Well, a little bit?” replied Deacon Baicautiously, “From what our scouts were able to gather from afar. It looked likethe Cheng’s are doing some large constructions to expand the family house. Theentire Willow Village are helping out!”
“Expanding?”
The young lord remained silent. After along while, he looked up at the three waiting nearby, “Do you think you will beable to arrange a meeting with the Cheng’s?”
“Well….” Deacon Bai didn’t reply rightaway. After exchanging a look with both of his colleagues, he said, “Younglord, we can’t guarantee a positive outcome, but it’s worth a try. We havetraded with them a few times, they think they might be willing to meet up withus.”
“Okay, I will give you three-day time.Come up with something good. I just need to be able to talk to them. Dismiss!”
“Yes, we will take off now.”
The three dared not dilly dally and leftright away.
After they have retreated from thecourtyard, Innkeeper Zhu asked the others cautiously, “Deacon Bai, do youreally think we will succeed?”
“I have no idea. But we’ve got to giveit a try. C’mon, let’s try to figure out something. Share any ideas that youhave and we will take the actions together!” replied Deacon Bai.
The other two nodded and started comingup with ideas for this difficult task.
They weren’t the only ones having aheadache in this town. There was also old man Ning of the Ning’s.
After the last few days, those fromSchool of Divine Condor were driving him insane. Not only did they have toprovide the with the best food and services, they also have to put up withtheir att.i.tudes, even old man Ning could you escape that fate. How could he bein a good mood?!
Ko Yang, standing next to old man Ning,didn’t look any happier. They have never expected those from the well famedSchool of Divine Condor to behave so poorly. With the exception of theinstructor and maybe two or three students, the rest all turned into themasters of the Ning’s. They certainly barked orders to everyone at the Ning’sas if they were masters of the household.
Their behaviors were no different thancuckoos taking over the host birds’ nests!
If the hosts were going insane, so wereall the servants. They have all been avoiding those from School of Divinecondors like they were poisonous snakes, hiding as far away as possible. Butwhat good would that do?
They were all sent back to serve thesearrogant young men and women!
The entire Ning’s was turned into atremendous mess and there was nothing old man Ning could do other than sighingand regretting.
After all, someone of his statuscouldn’t afford to offend someone from School of Divine Condor, not even astudent. Not to mention that his own grandson was one of them.
Now he finally understood why his kindand simple grandson and turned into such an arrogant jerk.
Being surrounded by those like that dayand night could certainly have that effect on you.
If they were all like that, how couldhis grandson be the exception to the rule?
Thinking about that, he regretted evensending his grandson to School of Divine Condor; nevertheless, there were nosuch thing as a pill for regret.
Knock, knock….
Hasty knocking interrupted the two quietmen.
Ko Yang walked up to open the door rightaway. An urgent-looking butler busted in and said, “Master, old man Lin and thelot have arrived!”
“What, he has arrived already?” Old manNing jumped up from his seat and walked out right away, meanwhile urging that,“Let’s go, we must go and welcome them!”
