ch 218 – Plotted Against By The Relatives; An Attack At Midnight (3)
“Um… okay…” Mo Xuanzun thought about it for a bit and said, “Okay, I will try my best to find the time to make it out there. But I can’t be sure when that will be. I will let shi mei knows once I found the answer to the jade vine!”
“Okay, thank you, shi xiong!” smiled Gong Zixuan.
“Hehe, I knew young master Mo would not be able to resist!”
Mo Xuanzun did not leave Palace of Mystical Beasts immediately after that; he stayed for another two days before departing.
As for his destination? Nobody knew.
Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t have to worry anything in the family at all. Most of the matters were taken care of by her parents, along with Zhou Jinjiang’s assistance. Everything was well organized!
After moving into the new residence, Cheng Xiao Xiao had a lot of rest along with a lot of cultivating in the dimension. Her younger sister had been staying in the main structure with her parents so she no longer need to share a bed with her. She was used to catching up with her rest in her bed.
When she wasn’t going out, Cheng Xiao Xiao preferred to stay in her own quarters and read some, practiced her calligraphy. She was no different than any other young women raised in an overprotected environment
“Mistress, young master is here!”
The two she kept around were the two sisters Yesu and Yecao. Right now the one in front of her was Yesu, the older of the two.
Seeing how her behavior had been transformed by Innkeeper Zhu, Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded. She put down the ink pen in her hand and went to greet her brother downstairs.
“Big sister….”
Cheng Zheng Yuan stood up from the chair when he saw Cheng Xiao Xiao. He had a lot of respect for his older sister and that came from his heart.
“Zheng Yuan, I heard you are looking for me. What is the matter? Is something wrong?” Cheng Xiao Xiao gestured him to sit and inquired about the purpose of his visit.
“Nothing!” said Cheng Zheng Yuan, slightly embarrassed. He peeked at her through the corner of his eyes; he looked like there was something on his mind, but he was hesitant to share.
Cheng Xiao Xiao found that both annoying and funny at the same time, “We are siblings, what can’t you share with me. C’mon, spill!”
“Haha, big sister, it’s not like that!” Cheng Zheng Yuan inadvertently showed the childish side of himself. His eyes beamed and asked, “Big sister, you are incredible. How did you become martial master in such short time? Did you encounter something major on your trip?”
“Yeah, I might have ran into a little bit trouble that brought about the sudden break through, but these things don’t happen everything and it’s not something I could teach you either!”
She knew what he was fishing for, but she had no intention to let him into the dimension any time soon. After all, they were families; she didn’t want them to just be loyal to her.
Unless they encountered something that’s a life and death matter, then she’d let them go inside. But just for cultivating? She’d rather figure out some other ways to help him out.
“Oh? That’s what I thought too!”
Cheng Zheng Yuan smiled, but he couldn’t hide the disappointment in his eyes. Cheng Xiao Xiao felt a tinge of guilt and said, “Zheng Yuan, you are already a mid-level martial scholar. That’s really quite talented already. It won’t be helpful in a long run to force raise your cultivation level. Don’t worry, I will help you when the time comes for your break throughs!”
“Yes, big sister, I understand!” Cheng Zheng Yuan nodded and smiled.
Seeing that he didn’t look genuinely happy, Cheng Xiao Xiao was a bit surprised and asked, “Zheng Yuan, something else on your mind?”
