Hearing Yutengs voice by her ear, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldnt help but stopped in her path. The two girls behind her stopped as well.

Lets go this way! Cheng Xiao Xiao didnt know who wanted to see her, but she wanted to go check it out.

Right now, its no easy feat for anyone to step foot in Willow. Ever since they had flung every one out last time, Cheng Xiao Xiao didnt want to be bothered by any other visitors, so she specifically told the mystical beasts to guard all the entrances to the village. Anyone who tries to enter will meet the same fate being fed to the snakes!

They havent made it too far they spotted Liu Danhuang coming toward them riding on a large tiger.

After Liu Danhuang had been admitted as a disciple, his became the first patrol guard of the Chengs and patrolled the surrounding area with the Cheng brothers to keep the village safe.

Shimei1!

Liu Danhaung called out to her before he leaped off from the white tiger. The white tiger, however, approached Cheng Xiao Xiao in a very friendly manner and nuzzled her on her leg. The white tiger seemed tame, but the Lius sisters were so scared they took a few steps back.

Most girls were afraid of the vicious beasts from the dimension. With a smile, Cheng Xiao Xiao gently kicked the white tiger. This tiger was not Cheng Zheng Yuans pet, it was a different one raised in the dimension and it has also joined the rank as a member of the patrolling team.

Villagers of Willow were already aware of the change of the Chengs. Being from this era, they were no strangers to ancient martial art sect or cultivation sect. So none of them found these changes too shocking, contrarily, they accepted them all with relative ease.

Originally they thought the teacher for their youths were just some common skillful martial artist, they didnt know he was one of the best of the best. All the Willow villagers were so happy they almost lost their minds.

Liu Danhuang handed over the letter he just received to her and said, Shimei, a letter from someone from the outside. Its for master and you!

Oh?

Cheng Xiao Xiao took the letter from him and opened it up, it was from Innkeeper Zhu of Lai Yue Inn. After she finished reading it, she paused, gave it a thought and said, ShixiongDanhuang, why dont you go meet up with the visitors at the entrance of the village tomorrow morning and bring them in?

Sure!

Please dont let me keep you!

The two didnt talk for too long. Cheng Xiao Xiao brought the two girls back to the house and Liu Danhuang mounted the white tiger and resumed his patrolling duties.

After she has arrived back at the courtyard, Cheng Xiao Xiao sent Yecao to go get her father.

A moment later, Cheng Biyuan, who was dripping with sweats, returned from the construction site and said to her, Xiao Xiao, whats the matter?

Dad, no rush. Why dont you wash your face first, then we can talk?

Okay, give me a minute. Its been so hot outside!

Cheng Biyuan was about to turn around and walk inside the kitchen when Mrs. Cheng brought the maid and walked out with a bucket of water, Here you go, the water is ready. Go ahead!

Shortly, while Cheng Xiao Xiao was preparing tea and assisted by Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Biyuan got ready and went to sit next to his daughter.

Cheng Xiao Xiao handed him a cup of hot tea and smiled, Dad, youve had a hard day, have some tea!

The tea can wait. Go head, why were you looking for me?

Dad, take a look at this first!

With that she retrieved the letter from inside her sleeve and handed it over to her father. Cheng Biyuan opened up the letter without saying anything else.

Cheng Biyuan scanned over the content of the letter quickly and asked, Xiao Xiao, do you think we should meet with them?

We should. We need to purchase some items for the house and its kind of inconvenient for us to go do so ourselves. We can just have Innkeeper Zhu run the errands for us. I trust they will be very willing to do us the favor! replied Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile.

Right then, Mrs. Cheng came over as well. Sitting down, she asked, Xiao Xiao, are there a lot of people who wanted to come in?
