“Well, Xiao Xiao, how are you going to handle them?”
Seeing how she was remaining silent, Zhou Jinjiang got a little curious.
He had heard about what had happened when Gu Junxian was here last; Cheng Xiao
Xiao didn’t just embarrassed him a little bit, she embarrassed him royally.
Cheng Xiao Xiao lifted her chin and answered with a question, “I would
like to know how Uncle Zhou thinks I should handle him. Do share, I just might
listen to your advice.”
“I think…..” Zhou Jinjiang nodded and pretended to be pondering over the
issue, “Xiao Xiao should just consent to whatever requests that Gu Junxian will
bring up.”
Cheng Xiao Xiao laughed and shook her head, it wasn’t everyday when you
see someone of an older generation being such a gossiper.
“Who said I have so much free time!” Zhou Jinjiang blushed and his eyes widened,
“I am just worry about you, brat. How dare you call me a gossiper? You need to
learn to respect your elders!”
Zhou Jinjiang turned and walked away after he had pulled rank.
“HO HO HO….” Chuckled Cheng Xiao Xiao and immediately put the issue behind
her. As far as she was concerned, this wasn’t something that she needed to
worry about.
The unexpected had happened, the second day came and gone, and so did
the third. Yet Gu Gaoyi and his family who were supposed to arrive still
haven’t showed up.
Words had it that they have been staying in Daling.
After hearing the news, Cheng Biyuan seemed upset and unhappy.
Seeing that, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but to sigh to herself. Just
because her father valued their friendship, it didn’t mean the feeling was
mutual. Granted, as far as she was concerned, she was quite happy that the Gu’s
wasn’t heading to her house.
That’s definitely less hassle to her.
On the other hand, the Gu’s in town had already sent their men out and
somewhere between threatening and luring with large sum of money, they had
purchased a 2-layered shiheyuan.
They were now staying comfortably in town. The real reason that they
have not yet headed to the Cheng’s, however, surrounded a man in black. The
entire family had been fawning over him, like their livelihood depended on him.
They ran into this man in black on their way to Daling. He was trying to
take over the Gu’s luxurious horse-drawn carriage for its comfort. Encountering
this martial king, the Gu’s were no match of his having only martial
spiritualists in their procession.
Finally, they had no choice but to give up their luxurious horse-drawn
carriage and kowtow to him servilely. When they found out the man in black was
a disciple of Pillar’s Clan of Magical Sword, they were so excited they were
short of getting down on their knees and licking his toes.
Especially Gu Junxian. Oh what he wouldn’t do If he could become this
man’s disciple, and become a part of the renowned Pillar’s Clan of Magical
Sword?
The young man, however, had no intention of taking him as his disciple.
He had, however, subtly implied that he would not mind taking him in as a
servant.
That was a difficult decision for the usually arrogant Gu Junxian.
Certainly he really desired to join the Pillar’s Clan of Magical Sword, but he
didn’t want to be anyone’s servant either. So he was still holding out hope
that the man would take him as his disciple.
The man in black couldn’t careless what Gu Junxian has in mind. Perhaps
Gu Junxian was talented, it’d be okay to have him as a servant. As for him
being a disciple, giving his current circumstances….
When he thought about this, his look was even colder than before, as
though he looked down on Gu Junxian’s talent…
The more nonchalant he was, the more the Gu’s felt that he was of high
standing and the more they wanted to be associated with him in some ways. They
have almost forgotten their original purpose of visiting the town of Daling.
