Just when she was about to give up, a young man was coming back from the
outside. When Nan Qingqing took a good look at his face, she immediately looked
happy. Before he walked all the way up, she walked up to meet him half way.
“Are you Zheng Yuan?”
Hearing the inquisitive voice, Cheng Zheng Yuan frowned. He looked at
the somewhat familiar-looking classy woman but couldn’t recall where he had
seen her before, “And who are you?”
“Yo, Zheng Yuan, have you forgotten your aunty Gu? I even carried you
around when you were small, how did you forget about me already?” A face full
of smile, Nan Qingqing was friendly with him.
That reference reminded him of someone. He looked at her closely again
and his small face not so friendly and he said, “Oh, you mean when I was still
a child, who’d remember something so long ago? I don’t remember you!”
Cheng Zheng Yuan wasn’t all that fond of the Gu’s and definitely have no
intention to pay any attention to someone who couldn’t even get inside the
front door?
“Aiya, Zheng Yuan, oh you child, hey, wait!!”
Cheng Zheng Yuan dashed inside his house while Nan Qingqing shouted
behind him, ignoring her completely. He didn’t want to get involved in the
issues between the adults nor was it his place to muddle into his sister’s
personal matters. So the best way to handle them was to ignore them all.
Nan Qingqing, who was still standing outside, was so angry she gritted
her teeth so hard she almost crushed her silver fillings. Finally, accepting
the fact that she’d not be meeting any one, she turned and left.
The four guards standing outside let out a sigh of relief; they were
quite worry that the woman who decide to make a scene there.
At the same time, Cheng Biyuan guided the visitors through all the
locations that they wanted to tour. Sure enough, the Cheng’s indeed were in
possession of a mystical well. In addition to that, everybody was also stunned
by the bamboo forest; the Cheng’s had watered the bamboo forest so much that
they had turned it into a forest of mystical bamboos.
It was Cheng Xiao Xiao’s purpose to transform the bamboo forest into a
land of mystical bamboos, in order to provide a better cultivation place for
her siblings. So she had people water this place daily and forced it into a
mystical bamboo forest.
The visitors were sure whether they should scold Cheng Xiao Xiao for
being so wasteful or to be envious of the Cheng’s siblings for having such a
generous sister. This place was practically built with money!
Cheng Biyuan did not take the group back to the main building but toward
the canopy constructed for the auction. Their arrival had caught others
attention immediately. At the same time, those who had been happily snacking on
all sorts of fruits and melons also knew that the auction was about to begin.
Everybody put down their delicacies and walked toward the platform in
the front. Cheng Biyuan, along with a few of his men, walked onto the platform.
Many of these who were attending today were seeing Cheng Biyuan for the
first time but everyone knew of his life’s story. Right now, when he stood in
front of everyone, his cultivation level stunned everyone present.
“Did they say he had lost all his cultivation and turned into a cripple?
How is he a martial king now?”
“That’s so odd. Is this really the Housemaster Cheng Biyuan? He is a
martial king now?”
“Martial king? The crippled from all the rumors is now a martial king?
Is this some sort of a sick joke?”
“That wasn’t even funny. Is it true?”
“If Cheng Biyuan is truly a martial king now, I wonder how the Emperor
City Cheng’s feel about this? Are they regretting about their past decision
right about now?”
“…..”
Those standing below the platform couldn’t help but gossip. No matter
how softly they were whispering, everybody in the front were all martial
spiritualists or martial kings; no matter how soft the whispering, they could
still hear every word.
