ch 116 – Lots of Drama; Beautiful Scholar (9)
Thats right, we can afford to offend the Chengs. Lets 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, hed wait with them; if they decide to leave, hed leave with them.
The new about the Chengs at Willow had created yet another uproar. Other than the message 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.
Theres a master beast tamer at the Chengs!
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 men to Willow Village at Qian Province to figure how many beast tamers there were at the Chengs and whether they were regular beast tamers or master beast tamers!
As the news reached more and more individuals and more and more families received the confirmation of the news, gradually they were sending their men to head toward Willow. This time 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 Chengs family. When it came to the part of beast tamers among the Chengs, everybody marveled at it as though they have seen it all with their own eyes. And every member of the Chengs family had became instant celebrities.
Inside the largest inn in Youyuan, two mysterious patrons were dining inside their guest room while listening to others chatting about the Chengs outside their room.
Mistress, should we go check out Willow?
The book servant in disguised in a boys outfit was actually a handmaid. And the comely 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, dont say that, mistress. Lets go see whether the Chengs really have a mystical spring, and whether they really have beast tamers. If they dont well reveal the truth to the world and call them liars!
The little book servant said with an extreme sense of righteousness.
Miss Scholar casted her a glance and nonchalantly said, How do you know they are fakes? What if its true?
Oh, mistress. They can fool the others, naturally you wont believe in such nonsense made up by the commoners. Mystical spring? I think they were all made up by ignorant people!
Dont look down on others! Miss Scholar picked up her tea cup and took a sip. She repeated, Theres no need to say that about others just because you want to go check it out. I have told you many times in the past, dont make snap judgements. There are many occasions that when even when witnessed with your own eyes you wont be able to tell the truth, let long something like this!
Mistress, what do you think? You want to go? Having no other comeback to her mistresss speech, the book servant just skip over the Chengs 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 some.
I knew youd say yes, Mistress! This is awesome! I want to see what kind of mystical beasts the Chengs have. If I dont like them, Ill kill them all!
Any mischievous behavior from you and I wont take you anywhere ever again!
Im sorry, Mistress, Im sorry!
Nobody was aware of the conversation that took place inside the guest room, let along the Chengs 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.
