“Not to mention, who said we aren’t able to guard our own goods?Would we sell our goods if we don’t have the ability to guard them? Don’t youthink we are aware of the values of our own goods?”
She paused and smiled lightly. Looking unfalteringly at DeaconLin, she said in a provocative tone, “Would Deacon Lin like to give that a try?We will be ready whenever you like!”
“Great, great, great!” Deacon Lin gave her a dead stare, he wasenraged but wasn’t going to explode right at this moment.
Cheng Xiao Xiao was unaffected by his deadly gaze, she soundedindifferent as usual, “Of course it’s great, we hope you are great too!”
With that said, she turned away from him and looked directly atInnkeeper Zhu, “Mr. Innkeeper, we are sorry. We will no longer be doingbusiness with you. Have a safe trip back!”
“Miss Cheng, I…”
“We are sorry, have a safe trip!” Cheng Xiao Xiao interrupted him,there was no need to continue the conversation.
Deacon Lin let out a loud hrm and disappeared from the chair in aflash. Deacon Lin gave her a deep look before he stood up and left.
Last of all of them, Innkeeper Zhu walked out sighing.
This unpleasant exchange would certainly bring upon them hiddendangers in the future. Mrs. Cheng was worried, she looked at the two in frontof her and not sure what to say.
Cheng Biyuan seemed calm and n.o.body could read what was on hismind. He sipped his tea quietly as though he was unaffected by the earlierexchange.
Cheng Xiao Xiao said a few words to comfort her mother beforeheading into the kitchen to prepare dinner with her.
After dinner that night, Cheng Xiao Xiao entered the dimension andtold Yuteng to surveil their land vigilantly. She was expecting trouble thatnight.
Cheng Xiao Xiao did not forget the deadly stare from Deacon Lin.He would act tonight, he wouldn’t back off so easily.
After everyone was asleep, Cheng Xiao Xiao tipped toe out of thehouse. Under the moonlight, she strolled to her range. There were about 100mythical animals there. If they were to come, this would be their first target.
Yuteng laid her branches around the ranch. On top of serving thepurpose of surveillance, it could also attack the intruders immediately. Theywere ready for any intruders.
Time flowed!
It was between 9 – 11 PM, and Cheng Xiao Xiao was leaning upagainst Yuteng’s branches and resting her eyes, the two dogs were guarding thevegetable field. It was quiet everywhere.
“Young master, there are two people approaching!’
Yuteng’s voice rang next to her ears all of a sudden along withthe alerts from the two dogs. Cheng Xiao Xiao slowly opened her eyes and lookedto the end of the road, surely she detected two person in black approaching.
She didn’t need to see their faces, she could tell by theirsilhouettes that they were Deacon Bai and Lin. She didn’t expect the both ofthem to come together. It looked like they wanted to send a strong message.
She instructed the dogs to pretend that they were still sleepingand weren’t aware of the intruders. Just as she had expected, they headedtoward the ranch.
Hidden from sight by Yuteng, she smiled coldly as she waited fortheir arrival. She wanted to know if there going to steal the mythical animalsor to cull them!”
The two looked around warily. Deacon Lin whispered, “Go. Leave notone!”
