Speaking of pleasant surprises, Old Man Ying was probably the one that
best know all the tricks up her sleeves. Even his old face showed signs of
happiness as he waited for rewards from his young mistress.
Looking at their reactions, Cheng Xiao Xiao started to wonder – were
they just all very smart old men, or that she had accidentally gave her
thoughts away? Why was it that they all seemed to be able to read her mind?
“HOHOHO….” Seeing the surprised look on his daughter, Cheng Biyuan
couldn’t help but started laughing lightly and said, “Xiao Xiao, you had never
sat with us for so long. Naturally we started raising our hopes that something
good is coming our way. Well, was it really true that something good is coming
our way?"
“Oh really? We get prizes?”
Old Man Ying was so excited he almost jumped into the air. His smile was
so deep that his old face resembled a chrysanthemum. The two others on the side
were surprised.
Surely she said there were prizes, but was it necessary to be so
excited? Was that what they meant when they said people regresses when they get
old?
The happy Old Man Ying didn’t care about how others were looking at him.
He mindlessly rubbed his hands together and smiled at Cheng Xiao Xiao, “Young
Mistress, what kind of prize do we get?”
“Oh, so you want a prize? That’s fine, I can give you a prize, but if
you can’t breakthrough advanced level martial emperor, I will have to rethink
prizes in the future. What do you say?” Cheng Xiao Xiao did not produce her
items right away, she intended to tease the old man some more first.
Advanced level martial emperor?
All their eyes’ beamed as they heard that term.
Old Man Ying paused for a second but recovered almost immediately.
Remembering that his young mistress has the ability to raise other’s
cultivation level; his heart was beating so far it was about to jump out of his
mouth!
Advanced level martial emperor has been his goal for the longest time.
Once he reached advanced level martial emperor, then he would have a shot at
breaking through to the very infrequently heard of martial monarch.
It was just that he had been stuck at the mid level martial emperor
level for nearly 30 years; even when he had drank so much mystical water from
the dimension, it still felt like something was missing and he wasn’t able to break through.
Now that he heard Cheng Xiao Xiao requesting him to go up a level to
reach advanced-level martial emperor, that was like a dream come true! He was
happy like a kid in a candy store, giggling in a silly way in front of every
one.
Seeing him like that, Cheng Xiao Xiao had no heart to tease him any
further. She produced a water bottle and a snow ginseng and handed them over to
him, “I won’t be looking out for you anymore if you still can’t break though
with these help!”
“Of course, of course. I am sure I can break though, Miss. I will
breakthrough tonight!” He accepted the two items with both hands, even the mild
temperament old man’s hands trembled uncontrollably.
“Now, off you go!”
“Yes, Miss. I shall go right away!”
Old Man Ying, holding both items in his hands, disappeared in a flash.
Old Man Ying had definitely been growing on Cheng Xiao Xiao. She had
started to feel that he was a part of the family. When she turned around, she
just happened to saw the envious look on Zhou Jinjiang.
Seeing him like that, Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled cheerfully, “Don’t worry,
Uncle Zhou, I won’t play favoritism. Since Uncle Zhou had guessed it correctly
as well, naturally you will get a prize too!”
Zhou Jinjiang was stunned by her words for a second but recovered
immediate. Full of surprised, he asked, “Xiao Xiao, are you serious?”
“Of course I am serious!” Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at him full of
interest, “Uncle Zhou, but don’t be happy too soon. Same rules apply, you must
breakthrough tonight; otherwise, prizes going forward will be re-evaluated.
Would you still like to have them?”
