“Soon, within these next few days.” Rong Jingshi smiled lightly with a confident look on her.
The crowed immediately looked pleasantly surprised, especially the old dean of School of Divine Condor and the ancestor of Yuni Sect. They were the two who were the most anxious. Yuni Sect’s ancestor eagerly walked stood up and walked over to Rong Jingshi and asked, “Mrs. Mo, really? You will be able to breakthrough again in the next few days?”
“Of course, Abbess can just wait and see. Everybody here heard me say that, I wouldn’t be lying to you.” Rong Jingshi smiled and couldn’t look more natural.
Seeing that she looked very sincere, the old abbess felt reassured and muttered, “Good, good…”
Everybody else who were filled with anticipation all let out a sigh of relief. Hope. Hope was right in front of them!
Grandmaster Wudao and Nun Saochen exchanged another look before both of them looked down to avoid anyone noticing their emotions.
Cheng Xiao Xiao slept comfortable for the entire day before she rubbed her belly and noticed that was actually a little hungry. She quickly instructed Yesu, waiting outside her room, to bring her some food.
After washing up, the sumptuous 2 side dishes, a soup, and a bowl of rice was brought up to her.
As she was eating in her own room, she didn’t care to be too lady like. She gulped down the soup first before picking up the bowl of rice and started working on that. As she was eating, she asked, “Where did abacus go?”
“Miss, guye went to plant cherry trees.” Yesu, seeing that her Miss asked about guye the first thing after she has woken up, couldn’t help but smiled.
“Oh.”
Cheng Xiao Xiao blinked and remembered that she wasn’t done with planting the cherry trees yet. She wondered how much more time would Mo Xuanzun need to finish it up.
Cheng Xiao Xiao ate and thought at the same time and didn’t say anything else.
Quickly, she devoured all the food in front of her. After she was done, she hesitated for a little bit before she decided to leave her room. She can wait till the evening to go into her dimension.
Walking out of her own courtyard, she saw her father, Zhou Jinjiang, and the other elders gathering around.
“Miss,” all the elders stood up to greet her. All of them looking very respectable.
Cheng Biyuan and Zhou Jinjiang had been through this before. Cheng Biyuan was well aware of the underlying reason for this but Zhou Jinjiang was still startled by this scene.
He trusted that if his speculation was correct, then Cheng Xiao Xiao was not going a master beast tamer, but also a sacred contractor. Someone like her…
Having thought of that, a ferver crossed his face fleetingly and then he was full of smile.
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded at them and walked up to greet them, “Dad, Uncle Zhou.”
“Xiao Xiao, you are here.” Nodded Zhou Jinjiang, the way he looked at her had become more respectful.
It was the kind of respectful that came from within, deriving from his respect for her unusual ability. His respect for her had been growing gradually that even he himself might not have been aware of it.
“Where are you heading?” asked Cheng Biyuan gently when he saw his daughter.
Sitting on the chair, Cheng Xiao Xiao replied casually, “Abacus are planting cherry trees. I thought I’d go take a look!”
“HO HO HO.” Zhou Jinjiang couldn’t help but chuckled after he heard her words.
Cheng Xiao Xiao raised her brows a little, rolled her eyes, and asked him directly, “What’s so funny? Hrm, hrm. I am going to have a little talk with Aunty Zhou in a bit!”
“Oh yeah? And just what would you be talking to her about? You want to snitch on me, eh? That won’t do any good” said Zhou Jinjiang as he smiled at her.
“I guess we will just have to find out, huh?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao as she lifted her chin. “I am going to tell Aunty Zhou and the few other young aunties that Uncle Zhou has the intention of marrying another young lady. No, he has his eyes on a pretty widow. Uncle Zhou, if I told them that, do you think Aunty Zhou and the other aunties would still let you in the door tonight?”
