“Okay, not a problem. Just give me their names and I’ll take care of
that!”
“I have it all written down!” Innkeeper Zhu fished out a notebook from
his chest and said, “Miss Cheng, I have been recording their training journal
daily. I trust that you can tell what the issues are.”
“Oh…”
Taking over the notebook, Cheng Xiao Xiao had not expected Innkeeper
Zhu to have gone such an extra mile. A daily journal was no small feat! “Thank
you so much, Innkeeper Zhu! I really appreciate this!”
“Thanks again, Innkeeper Zhu, will you be taking off with young Mr.
Zhu?” Cheng Xiao Xiao did not start reading the journal right away but put it
inside her sleeve.
“Ugh, perhaps I will leave with him, ho ho…”
Innkeeper Zhu’s smile was a bit forced, but he did a good job hiding
it and Cheng Xiao Xiao pretended that she hadn’t noticed.
The two chatted for a bit longer and Cheng Xiao Xiao took off.
Innkeeper Zhu could no longer maintain that smile. He couldn’t help
but to wipe away the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.
“She was good. The way she looks at you was way more severe than that
of Master Cheng. It was like you can’t hide anything from her. She knows
everything that was going on…”
“Useless!” Came a familiar voice and Innkeeper Zhu turned pale. He
dare not look at the person approaching him.
The house guests of the Cheng’s decreased quickly.
Young Mr. Zhu was gone! Innkeeper Zhu was gone!
Their departure had no impact on the Cheng’s. They didn’t leave with
mystical animals this time because the date that Cheng Xiao Xiao promised the
public was only a month and a half away. Even if they had wanted to purchase
more, the Cheng’s would not have agreed to it.
After they have departed, Cheng Xiao Xiao read the journal given to
her from Innkeeper Zhu. She had a pretty good idea which ones she shouldn’t
keep.
It’s time to take care of them. Otherwise, it would not befit the
Cheng’s for them to overstay.
After dinner, the whole family sat around the courtyard to chitchat!
“Ye, now that Xiao Xiao is back, should we move into the new
courtyard?” asked Mrs. Cheng.
The main courtyard of the Cheng’s has already been completed. In
additional to the main hall for the parents, even the side halls for the
siblings were ready. Other than a couple courtyards meant for guest that had a
little bit more remaining to go, the Cheng’s could move in whenever. They no
longer need to stay in the straw huts.
Their places were ready a few days ago, but since Cheng Xiao Xiao was
still out, nobody suggested to move now. Now that the entire family are
together, naturally Mrs. Cheng would bring it up.
Cheng Biyuan looked around at the place that have been staying at for
the last four years and he have a complicated look on him, “I guess it is time
to move. As we have more and more visitors, this place is a bit on the shabby
side. It’s certainly difficult to entertain guests.”
“Ye is right!” Mrs. Cheng had been thinking the same thing for
a while now.
Cheng Biyuan turned and looked at his daughter by his side, “Xiao
Xiao, do you have any other thoughts?”
“Dad, whatever you and mom
decide!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled, “We should move though. This place is smaller
and more inconvenient. Now that our new house is built, we have no reason to
continue to stay in the straw huts, am I right?”
“Ho ho ho….”
The family laughed together. Cheng Zheng Yuan shouted out, “I can
finally sleep by myself! I don’t want to sleep with Zheng Bin anymore! He kicks
me every night!”
“Brother! You are just making all these up! I would never…!” cried
little Zheng Bin in his own defense.
Cheng Zheng Yuan glanced over at his young brother and pursed his
lips, “Sure you did! You kick me awake several times a night, made me want to
toss you off the bed!”
