Should they inform them now?
Thinking about those mythical animals, old man Ning felt a burn in
his heart. He just might have better odds putting his trust in his old friends
than in the School of Divine Condor.
“Master, we don’t do the negotiations. We let Mr. Lin and the lot
to deal with the Cheng’s, then we ask for a share from them. That ought to be
the best solution!”
“You are right!” Old man Ning nodded, “We should place our bet on
old man Lin and the lot rather than in School of Divine Condor. Not to mention
that if we can get mythical animals from both sides, that would be even
better!”
“Right, master. Let’s notify Mr. Lin and the lot as quickly as
possible. Once the folks from School of Divine Condor are here, there might be
complications.”
“Right! Let me send them a message immediately and have them come
over as quickly as possible!”
The two took actions immediately after their discussion.
Speaking of, the deans and instructors of the School of Divine
Condor gathered around discussing the news from their students -- that a
mythical spring was found at the foothill of Mt. Wan’an in Qing’an Province.
More importantly, this spring water can raise mythical beasts. This news has
stunned everyone!
Was it true? Was it fake? Everybody has their own opinion!
Some said it could be real. Others were skeptical. How could a
mythical spring be possible? Even the School of Divine Condor has just a
mythical vein, not mythical spring.
After a full-day of discussion, the dean has made the decision of
sending out one instructor with ten students to Qing’an Province to investigate
it further before sending more people.
If it was fake, it would be good experience; and if it was real,
all the more better.
There’s no such thing as completely insulated wall, and you can’t
wrap fire1 with paper. A news this big was leaked in no time.
The news spread like wild fire through then entire Dafeng. Still
some believed the news to be true and others were skeptical of it.
Regardless, a mythical spring would be priceless. Most people sent
out helpers to seek out this mythical
spring in Ching’an Province and ascertain the truth.
All of a sudden, the path to Ching’an was filled with people from
all walks of life, all going after this mythical spring.
Even the masters and elders of Cheng’s residing in the Emperor’s
City reacted the same way as everybody else upon hearing the news – feeling
suspicious and believing it at the same time. After all, the rumor must have
started from something.
A man in this thirties looked very surprised when he heard this
news. He remembered clearly that his older brother, who was banished from the
family, settled down in Willow Village in Qing’an Province.
As far as he was concerned, Willow Village was a small village. He
had never heard of any mythical spring before. He was certain this news was
made up by someone.
Listening to the family discussion, he watched on with a sneer and
an anticipation of calamity!
Perhaps others didn’t noticed his look, but one of the elders
noticed and frowned.
After the meeting, he called the man into his study. Settling down
on his chair, he asked, “Cheng Bihua, you know about this?”
“Dad, know about what?” asked Cheng Bihua, confused.
