“Nice?” Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled, she didn’t think she
was being nice!
Mrs. Cheng happened to overhear the conversation
between the two of them and scolded lightly, “Zheng Yuan, stop being such a kid
and stop with the nonsense!”
“Mom, that’s not nonsense! They were never nice
people to begin with, why do we have to be nice to them?” asked Cheng Zheng
Yuan, feeling unjust.
“You are such a child. You shouldn’t talk like that.
When you go back into the mountains, remember to bring more water with you.
It’s not easy to find water in the mountains!”
“Look at you being such a child. That’s very
unbecoming. You need to learn to be more generous and stop being so petty!”
“I have enough to eat!”
Cheng Zheng Yuan didn’t want to listen to his
mother’s nagging anymore so he stopped his bowl and chopsticks and skidded out
of there.
Seeing that her son had run away, Mrs. Cheng turned
and look at her daughter, “Xiao Xiao, have some people send some water up into
the mountains in a bit, okay?”
“Mom, don’t worry. I’ll send water. I guarantee
there won’t be a shortage of water!” smiled Cheng Xiao Xiao brightly when she
made promises to her mother.
After a while, when Cheng Xiao Xiao finally
finished eating, she left the house slowly. She walked inside the bamboo forest
and when nobody was around, flashed into the dimension and have little Yuteng
take her up the mountains to look for the others.
With little Yuteng’s help, they found the
people sitting on the ground resting in no time. Even Innkeeper Zhu and the lot
haven’t arrived yet. She found a tree and hid on top of it and looked down
coldly at the people.
They were indeed the students of School of
Divine Condor. They didn’t want to do the hard labor, but under the threat and
encouragement of Instructor Mu, they started slaving away.
As lunch time approached, everybody was
starting to get hungry. That’s when they realized all the Cheng’s already went
to lunch, but nobody said a word to them.
Before they could complain, an aroma from
deliciously cooked lunches came from the foothills. They invigorated everyone
and made them feel hopeful.
After a short while, when everybody looked
on, dozens of people finally showed up in front of them. Seeing all the lunch
boxes they were carrying with them, some of the students wanted to lung forward
and grab them out of their hands.
Naturally, with the Associate Dean there,
even if they wanted to, they wouldn’t dare. They could just looked on and hope
that they would get their meals shortly.
Seeing everybody’s wolf-like look, Innkeeper
Zhu shivered. He looked at everyone with a shred of pity in his eyes. He cupped
his hands at the white-bearded man and said, “Associate Dean, Instructor Mu,
pardon me. I am here to do business with you!”
“WHAT?!”
Everybody was stunned. As though their
acupuncture points were pushed, they were stoned. Their reactions made
Innkeeper Zhu and his people wanted to laugh.
When they have recovered from the shock, Mu QIngtong
was the first to shout, “Innkeeper Zhu, what do you mean by that? What do you
mean doing business, huh? Aren’t you afraid of the Cheng’s?”
“Pardon me, I was here on Miss Cheng’s orders. If
you want food, that’s fine, but you need to give up something to trade for
them!”
Innkeeper Zhu was unphased by their vicious stares
and continued, “These are food with spiritual chi; if you don’t want it, many others would kill for them. So if
you want any, you better hurry!”
“You….”
Mu Qingtong was so angry he was about to spit out
blood, but there was nothing he could do about Innkeeper Zhu. He resorted to
looking at the disciples and asked, “Your master doesn’t care about this
either?”
“Our Master don’t worry him about these matters.
It’s always our shi mei who makes the
calls!”
Liu Tianshan opened up a lunchbox and the delectable
rice and dishes could be seen, “Are you guys buying? If you aren’t, I can eat
another share. Our shi mei had
already said, we can have all the leftovers, until we couldn’t eat anymore!”
