ch 116 – Lots of Drama; Beautiful Scholar (9)
“That’s right, we can afford to offend the Cheng’s. Let’s just wait three months and re-evaluate!” Old man Lin decided to wait it out.
Old man Quan nodded, it looked like he would just do what the other two decide on doing. If they decide to wait, he’d wait with them; if they decide to leave, he’d leave with them.
The new about the Cheng’s at Willow had created yet another uproar. Other than the ssage directly from Cheng Xiao Xiao that there would be no trades for three months, which surprised and frustrated everyone. Another news had also startled everyone else.
There’s a master beast tar at the Cheng’s!
This piece of news had made waves among the public all over again!
Finally the royals had heard about it. The emperor of Dafeng could no longer remain silent. He sent n to Willow Village at Qi’an Province to figure how many beast tars there were at the Cheng’s and whether they were regular beast tars or master beast tars!
As the news reached more and more individuals and more and more families received the confirmation of the news, gradually they were sending their n to head toward Willow. This ti there were there in preparation of purchasing mystical water and mystical animals three months from then.
In the neighboring city of Youyuan, everybody was also talking about nothing but the Cheng’s family. When it ca to the part of beast tars among the Cheng’s, everybody marveled at it as though they have seen it all with their own eyes. And every mber of the Cheng’s family had beca instant celebrities.
Inside the largest inn in Youyuan, two mysterious patrons were dining inside their guest room while listening to others chatting about the Cheng’s outside their room.
“Mistress, should we go check out Willow?”
The book servant in disguised in a boy’s outfit was actually a handmaid. And the coly looking scholar was a young maiden.
The maiden in a male scholar disguise frowned her beautifully arched eyebrows and said, “You can go by yourself if you are interested!”
“Oh, don’t say that, mistress. Let’s go see whether the Cheng’s really have a mystical spring, and whether they really have beast tars. If they don’t we’ll reveal the truth to the world and call them liars!”
The little book servant said with an extre sense of righteousness.
Miss Scholar casted her a glance and nonchalantly said, “How do you know they are fakes? What if it’s true?”
“Oh, mistress. They can fool the others, naturally you won’t believe in such nonsense made up by the commoners. Mystical spring? I think they were all made up by ignorant people!”
“Don’t look down on others!” Miss Scholar picked up her tea cup and took a sip. She repeated, “There’s no need to say that about others just because you want to go check it out. I have told you many tis in the past, don’t make snap judgents. There are many occasions that when even when witnessed with your own eyes you won’t be able to tell the truth, let long sothing like this!”
“Mistress, what do you think? You want to go?” Having no other coback to her mistress’s speech, the book servant just skip over the Cheng’s topic altogether and asked her directly to go.
Mistress scholar thought for a bit and said slowly, “Since we are out already, might as well wander around so.”
“I knew you’d say yes, Mistress! This is aweso! I want to see what kind of mystical beasts the Cheng’s have. If I don’t like them, I’ll kill them all!”
“Any mischievous behavior from you and I won’t take you anywhere ever again!”
“I’m sorry, Mistress, I’m sorry!”
Nobody was aware of the conversation that took place inside the guest room, let along the Cheng’s in Willow.
On the other hand, the associate dean of School of Divine Condor have also arrived in the town of Daling. While they have learned about and was shocked by the news during their travel, they were nonetheless just a few days out and had no other choices but to continue on to their destination.
