He wanted the attention, but he didn’t expect that his opponent
wouldn’t even pay him any attention. He looked pissed off, but before he could
say anything, his instructor shot him a look and he knew better and swallowed
his words.
“So you are the Cheng’s maiden – Cheng Xiao Xiao!” said Mu
Qingtong as he gave her a long, meaningful look.
“You knew I am, why ask?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao coldly, “So what’s
with coming here with all these people?”
“Nonsense!” shouted Cheng Xiao Xiao blatantly, “You want to show
off, go somewhere else. We don’t like strangers here!”
“Miss Cheng, the old saying had it that anyone that come to your
house is a guest…”
Cheng Xiao Xiao cut him off right away, “We don’t welcome
unfriendly guests, please leave!”
“You…” Now Mu Qingtong was mad. Nobody had ever talked to him like
that before, especially in front of his students. But he managed to keep his
temper under control, with a mild tone, he said, “Miss Cheng. We are here to
ask for a favor, you don’t need to be so standoffish. Is that how you were
raised?”
“You mean I should be raised to offer you fine wine and fine
dining right about now?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao sarcastically, “Surely you knew
about my confrontable with Ning Xunzong previously.”
“Ugh, yes!” Mu Qingtong had no idea why she brought that up, but
had no intention to cover that up.
Looking even more sarcastic, Cheng Xiao Xiao said, “Well, if
that’s the case, why should we welcome you? You are right. I knew why you guys
are here. You want us to submissively hand over our mythical animals and the
mythical well, and my family to become your servants. Should we kneel down now
and greet our masters?”
“What?” A hint of annoyance flashed through Mu Qingtong’s face.
Sternly he turned and looked at Ning Xunzong. Ning Xunzong was too scared to
meet his gaze.
Mu Qingtong wasn’t an idiot. The few sentences from Cheng Xiao
Xiao and judging by the reaction from Ning Xunzong, he could put two and two
together and now the reaction from the Cheng’s made sense. Apparently, the
Ning’s went too overboard previously, leading to the consequences today.
“Greetings, Miss Cheng, I am Long Yuze of the Long’s of Emperor
City!” Suddenly a middle-age man wearing a brocade robe appeared out of nowhere
and greeted Cheng Xiao Xiao with cupped hands.
“Greetings, Mr. Long!” Cheng Xiao Xiao bowed slightly. Of course
she knew all these people came with the same purpose in mind, but since they
were still amicable, she had no reason to be rude to him.
Right then, another middle-age man stood out and greeted her with
cupped hands, “Miss Cheng, I am Xue Xingchen of the Xue’s of Emperor City!”
“Miss Cheng, I am Su Yiyang of the Su’s of City of Huang!” said
another middle-age man.
The presence of these three surprised everyone from School of
Divine Condor. These were all very powerful families. One could hear the crowd
started discussing among themselves.
Mu Qingtong looked extremely displeased that others had the upper
hand. He was even more mad that idiot Ning Xunzong and his two idiot friends.
They discovered the mythical beasts and mythical spring, not only were they not
able to secure a deal, but they had offended the Cheng’s, putting them in an
awkward position.
