It had been over ten thousand years since a mythical contract binder had
walked on this continent, and now her…
Was she…?
Zhou Jinjiang couldn’t say for certain, but he dare suspect that the
brat Cheng Xiao Xiao just might be an extremely talented mythical contract
binder.
Granted, this was nothing but his own speculation. He dare not ask, nor
did he dare share it with Cheng Biyuan. His intention wasn’t to share this
joyous news with everyone, but to hide it as best he could!
Thinking about this, Zhou Jinjiang bid Cheng Xiao Xiao farewell and left
with the new servants.
Cheng Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, stared at his back and fell into
deep thought!
She could sensed that something was no longer the same with Zhou
Jinjiang – the way he walked to her was more respectful than normal.
This was never the case before. Zhou Jinjiang had always treated her as
someone from a more junior generation, and had never spoken to her in that tone
before.
As for why had prompted the change, she hadn’t figure that out just yet.
The time of the promised auction has come and the Cheng’s were getting
busier and busier. Even though the maiden Cheng Xiao Xiao had repeated over and
over again it was not necessary to prepare food and drinks for the guests but
Zhou Jinjiang disagreed. He still had what was necessary prepared.
Inside the Cheng’s study!
Cheng Biyuan and Zhou Jinjiang sat facing each other with very solemn
looks on them. Their looks were brought upon by the completeness of the guests;
with the exception of the Four Top Powers, everybody else was there.
This was not a situation they had anticipated. And everyone one of them
aimed to win their bid!
“This is going to be rough!” smiled Cheng Biyuan bitterly at the person
in front of him.
Zhou Jinjiang smiled bitterly back at him, “Rough or not, we got to push
through it. All these people are losing their minds over our goods. We must be
careful in the next few days!”
“Exactly. If Willows wasn’t guarded by Xiao Xiao’s mystical beasts, it’d
have been mowed down already!” Cheng Biyuan thought about those persistent
cultivators and couldn’t help but shook his head.
Luckily his daughter Xiao Xiao had foresaw and prepared for that.
Otherwise they’d have even more issues to deal with right now!
“Speaking of, My Lord, how do you plan on handling the issue between you
and Gu Gaoyi?” Zhou Jinjiang couldn’t contain his curiosity on this issue.
Granted, this concerned the Cheng’s reputation greatly, it was only
natural that he was concerned about it.
Cheng Biyuan was silent when this subject was broached; his look
slightly dismal. It was quite obvious that this issue has been weighting down
on him.
Zhou Jinjiang looked on quietly and the study fell silent all of a
sudden.
After a long while, Cheng Biyuan shook off his dismal look and said,
“Let him be, I guess. If my speculation is correct, he was here to end our
verbal betrothal.”
Zhou Jinjiang nodded. Anyone with half a brain could have figured that
one out. After all, it was an open secret that Cheng Xiao Xiao was not fond of
Gu Junxian at all. It only made sense that his family would come and end the
betrothal.
“Judging by the fact that there had been no activities on their part as
of late, Gu Gaoyi will very likely show up during the auction. And mostly
likely that’s when he was going to broach the subject!” Zhou Jinjiang pointed
that out.”
“Most likely!”
There was no doubt on Cheng Biyuan’s mind, “It doesn’t matter to me
either way, but I worry that Cheng Xiao Xiao wouldn’t let it go down
peacefully, and….”
The thought of that made Cheng Biyuan’s head throb. The scale of the
auction had already way exceeded their expectation, and then you throw in drama
like this, how could he not feel his stomach churn.
“My Lord, truth be told, I am looking forward to Xiao Xiao teaching them
a lesson!” said Zhou Jinjiang as if hinting on something else.
“……”
