“I know!” Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned and nodded. She, too, had heard Cheng Huihui’s crying.
“Let’s go!”
The two of them held hands and went over to the living room at the fastest speed possible.
“What happened?”
Cheng Xiao Xiao’s voice made everybody turned to look at her.
All the elders stood up and cupped their hands to greet them, “Young Miss, guye…”
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded at them before she turned to look at Elder. She didn’t know what had happened, but she figured out right away that the problem laid with Elder.
The two of them greeted all of their elders before Cheng Xiao Xiao looked intensely at Elder with her sparkling eyes and asked, “What happened?”
“Young Miss, First Elder from Capital City came and poisoned me. He wanted to use me as a pawn to spy on Sacred Land Zhongyuan and also funnel him the resources here,” explained Elder nonchalantly.
“Oh, I see. They have finally come.”
Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t surprised at all. When Cheng Huihui saw her, she turned to tear-stained face toward her and implored, “Xiao Xiao, your aunty begs of you. Please save my father. I don’t want to lose another loved one. Please, Xiao Xiao….”
“Aunt Huihui, don’t worry. Elder will definitely be fine,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao as she patted Cheng Huihui on her hand. She then pulled out a handkerchief and helped her wiped away her tears.
“Really?” asked Cheng Huihui anxiously.
She wasn’t the only one who expressed her disbelief. The others felt dubious about that as well. After all, the Ancient Forefather of Temple of Divine Plans had just said that nobody has the antidote in this world.
The crowd quickly put on a look of relief. They have all been to the dimension and knew that Cheng Xiao Xiao has abilities. It would truly be desperate when she said she didn’t have a solution to it.
“Xiao Xiao, really?” Even Elder couldn’t help but to ask. Even though he was already prepared to die, but who wouldn’t prefer to live if that was an option?
Mo Xuanzun smiled and nodded, “Elder, don’t worry. If Xiao Xiao said she can save you, that means she will be able to. Just relax.”
“Oh!” Elder saw that the others seemed to be convinced by that but he was still dumbfounded about how everything was so confident in Cheng Xiao Xiao.
Of course, he just nodded and did not ask any further.
Cheng Xiao Xiao sat down, looked at the man in front of her and asked, “Elder, can you share with me the details of First Elder’s visit? I want to know what happened.”
“Sure!”
Everybody there were more or less families, Elder saw no reason to hold anything back so he recounted the entire incident from when First Elder showed up to when he took off.
When he was done, Cheng Xiao Xiao’s look was scary cold. She frowned deeply and said, “He was the one who ruined my dad’s cultivation? But why?”
As she was saying that, she had reflexively looked over at her father and wished that perhaps he’d have the answer.
Everybody else also gradually looked over at the Housemaster. They were all curious what drove the First Elder to commit such an act.
Unfortunately, Cheng Biyuan let everyone down. Shaking his head slightly, he said, “I don’t know either. This entire time I was it was someone outside of the family who did that to me.”
“Exactly, Young Miss. I trust that nobody other than that First Elder b*stard would know the real reason behind it. Even if we told the truth to the Capital City Cheng’s, they wouldn’t believe it as well,” said Elder with utter certainty.
Cheng Xiao Xiao thought about it for a little and couldn’t figure it out. She trusted that there were other unknown secrets hidden behind it. Giving the one next to her a sideway glance, she asked, “Abacus, are you able to see into the past?”
“Not a problem. Finding out what had happened in the past is not that difficult to do.” Mo Xuanzun nodded.
That was when Ancient Forefather started, “The Capital City Cheng’s must be hiding something. And they are hiding probably had something to do with Little Biyuan. Yuze, why don’t you try to look in the past and find out that reason. Once we find that out, it’d be much easier to plan out next move.”
