At the same time, Cheng Xiao Xiao, holding a small shovel in her hand,
was busy bossing someone around doing physical labor for her.
“Xiao Xiao, I can plant the cherry trees myself. Why don’t you go take a
break somewhere else?” said Mo Xuanzun as he was digging a big hole.
“Work harder, why you have so much to say?” Cheng Xiao Xiao, who was
shoveling soil into a hole with a sapling, said without even turning around.
Cheng Xiao Xiao’s original plan was to have a few people come and help
out. She didn’t expect the tool to object to that adamantly and insisted on
planting the entire cherry forest for her.
Having heard that, Cheng Xiao Xiao was naturally very moved by his
thoughts and had a lot of hopes for this place. Nonetheless, many ideas in life
was easy when you think about it, but much harder when actually carrying it
out!
Case in point is this man in front of him who’d spent most of his life
cultivating and studying. Sure, he could dig holes with a spade alright, but
his speed was even slower than that of a turtle. If he was to do this all on
his own, she wasn’t even sure if this cherry forest would be done a year from
now!
So, as Cheng Xiao Xiao also not wanting others to ruin the sweet
memories of their place, the always been viewed as high and mighty Maiden Cheng
and her guye were here day in and day out digging holes and planting
trees.
None of the servants understood why they insisted on doing that
themselves. Did they enjoy torturing themselves?
A few uncles from Willows offered to help out of the kindness of their
heart, but they were all sent away by guye with money.
So, their actions became even more of a mystery to everyone.
“Aiya, Xiao Xiao, wait a minute!” shouted Mo Xuanzun as he tossed away
the shovel in his hand.
Cheng Xiao Xiao, who had just finished planting a sapling, stood up,
wiped away the sweats on her forehead and asked, baffled, “What seems to be the
matter?”
“Xiao Xiao, let’s not rush to plant the trees. Let me think of a
tactical arrangement first!” said Mo Xuanzun with a smile, his eyes deep and
sparkling.
“A tactical arrangement?”
Naturally, Cheng Xiao Xiao was familiar with the term, many a times,
even. She just didn’t know it very well, so she asked casually, “Okay, what
kind of an arrangement do you want to do? This will be a playground for
everyone in the future. You sure having an arrangement will be a good idea?”
“Yes! For sure!”
Mo Xuanzun held her hand and walked out with her. Appearing in front of
them were the entire layout of the Cheng’s. Squinting, Mo Xuanzun said, “Xiao
Xiao, tactical arrangement is a good thing. It’s what most clans and sects use
to keep out enemies. After all, when powerful enemies attack, they can do a lot
of damages. If we have a tactical arrangement that we can activate, we can
greatly minimize our own loss and protect our loved ones.
“You should know that, no matter how strong one is, they are still
limited to how many they can protect. So, in the event that the enemies come in
numbers, we will have to rely on a tactical arrangement to protect more of our
own. Every single sects and clans do that, including the Top 9 Clans and Top 4
Powers.”
“I understand!” Cheng Xiao Xiao casted him a sideway glance, raised her
brows and said, “Since you are going to become the Cheng’s guye, I am
trusting you with this. Surely, you will be able to handle this!”
“Well, this….”
Smiling, Mo Xuanzun looked at her and said, “Xiao Xiao, those of us at
the Temple of Divine Plans are well versed in setting up tactical arrangements
and I truly would like to do a large scale one here, but I feel that my
memories have been slipping a little lately. I’m afraid I will need some help!”
