Chapter 491 – An Overlooked Issue; Everybody Was Troubled (2)
At this moment in time, Cheng Xiao Xiao was quite worried. We have already spread the words and couldnt change the fact that we are recruiting for disciples. If we are sufficiently prepared for this, there just might be some embarrassing moments waiting to happen.
Dont worry, Young Mistress. Let me give it some thought. I am sure we will come up with a solution!
Okay. You give it some thoughts first!
For now, Cheng Xiao Xiao had to rely on Little Yuteng to come up with a solution; otherwise, they just might have to ask others for help.
Ask others for help!
She really didnt want to have to resort to that. After all, what belonged to the others would always belong to the others. What happened when the disciples, after joining Sacred Land Zhongyuan, have to learn skills from another sect? And what kind of rumor would that cuase?
What would others say about Sacred Land Zhongyuan when they learned about this?
This was arguably the most critical problem that they were facing and needed immediate resolution. Plus, she has very limited time before shed need to figure out a solution!
Xiao Xiao, whats the matter? Mrs. Cheng couldnt help but asked when she noticed that her daughter was being very quiet.
Xiao Xiao looked up at her, smiled and said, Mom, nothing much. I am going to look for dad. Theres something that I wanted to discuss with him about. Ill talk to you later!
Alright. Off you go then!
Mrs. Cheng knew that her ability was very limited. Most of the matters at home were taken care of by her husband and her oldest daughter. Right now, she needed to make herself better; at least as good as other wives.
Cheng Xiao Xiao released her minds eyes and immediately found out where her father was.
Having something that she urgently wanted to discuss, Cheng Xiao Xiaos pace hastened and she quickly arrived at her fathers study.
Oh, Xiao Xiao, you are here! Cheng Biyuan, who was reading some official documents, looked up at her when he sensed her presence and just in time to see her walking into his study.
What happened? What is the matter? Seeing the serious look and frown on her, he couldnt help but asked.
Dad
Cheng Xiao Xiao walked up and sat down at the chair next to her father. Smiling bitterly, she said, Dad, we are about to embarrass ourselves. The entire continent is about to witness us embarrassing ourselves.
Why do you say that, Xiao Xiao? Cheng Biyuan was looking more and more serious. He knew that his daughter was not the type whod say such a thing without reasons. There must be something that he had overlooked.
Cheng Xiao Xiaos suspicion had been confirmed when she saw the look on her dad. She couldnt help but smiled bitterly, Dad, we are about to have disciples in three months. But, our family doesnt have our own mantra, or unique skillsets. We cant possibly have our disciples go farming.
OH!
Cheng Biyuan turned plan and leapt up from his seat. His face full of shock and panic.
Seeing her father like this for the first time, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldnt help but shake her head. She had finally realized that they were too far gone already. They had already backed themselves into a corner.
Xiao Xiao, we. Cheng Biyuan, having the same bitter smile, sat back down and tightened his palms up into fists and said, We cant let this happen, Xiao Xiao. We must figure something out. If we embarrass ourselves on this issue, wed lose all our reputation and status that we have finally accumulated over this. And itd be so much more difficult to try to rebuild them again in the future!
I know! Cheng Xiao Xiao furrowed her brows deeply. This wasnt simply a problem with reputation. If they failed to handle this issue properly, this would forever be a black smudge on the Sacred Land Zhongyuans name and people would always remember this.
Xiao Xiao, should we summon all of our elders for a discussion?
No, dad. Lets not mention this to anyone yet. We will be the ones whod figure out a solution to this, on way or another day. We couldnt rely on others on this one, said Cheng Xiao Xiao decisively.
