Crazy News; Everybody Has Their Own Thoughts (3)

Little Yuteng saw through her, unhappily she said with a pout, "Young mistress, don't you be thinking that just because you won't kill them they'd offer you the same courtesy. These are all bandits and outlaws. If snakies didn't kill them, there'd be nobody alive in Willow Village right now. And not just the Willow Villagers, your family as well."

"......"

Cheng Xiao Xiao didn't say anything. She knew that little Yuteng was telling the truth. That, however, didn't make her feel any better. She had, indeed, heard her younger brother reported that the snakies had killed several dozens of people, but she was too distracted at the time and didn't think much of it. Now that she had the time to reflect, she was starting to feel awful about it.

"Young mistress, let me tell you something. This is a place where only the strongest will survive. You want to live peacefully you will need to kill others, because they want to kill you. Certainly you aren't going to just stand around and wait for them to do so. So your only option is to kill them first. You must accept this fact. Honestly this is not such a big deal. Human and vicious beasts are all the same. If you can't tame them, kill them!"

Looking at the little person who kept going on and on talking about killing and such, Cheng Xiao Xiao didn't know what to make of all these. Was this really going to be her life from this point forward?

Listening to her father's story, she understood there more troubles will follow. And to take care of these troubled matters, she didn't think not killing anyone would be an option. But killing....

Frowning slightly, she looked at the littler person sitting on a branch and said, "Yuteng, from now on, you take care of the killing!"

"Ha ha ha! No problem! That's wonderful!" little Yuteng almost clapped her hands in rejoice.

Cheng Xiao Xiao was completely speechless. Looking at little Yuteng who's laughing ever so happily, she wondered if she has lost her mind. Why was she so happy about killing people?

Little Yuteng sensed her perplexity and smiled, "Young mistress, Yuteng has not gone crazy. Any one I killed from now on will turn into my fertilizer. That will allow me to grow faster!"

"Fertilizer...."

Right then and there, the cute little kid turned into a human-eating little devil in Cheng Xiao Xiao's eyes.

After four hours progressing in turtle-like speed, the hundred something wounded finally arrived at the town of Daling.

Their appearances shocked the public. Nobody could comprehend how they could have left so valiantly and gallantly and came back all injured after just half a day.

Innkeeper Zhu was astonished when he heard the news, even Deacon Bai and Deacon Lin were wordless. This was simply beyond their wildest imagination.

The people that they sent out have yet to returned so they didn't yet have the details of what had happened. The only thing they could be certain of was that these people were defeated at the Cheng's.

Shortly thereafter, 10 or so wounded VIPs appeared at the inn, they were Long Yuze and his lot. Those from School of Divine Condor had returned to the Ning's.

When the Ning's saw the wounded, they were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. Not one of them returned unscathed!

Shortly thereafter, everybody learned of three very important news:

One, Cheng Biyuan, master of the house of Cheng, was the one and same from the Cheng's of Emperor City, the famed elite boy genius at one point.

Two, there was, indeed, a mystical spring in the Cheng's possession!

Three, Cheng Biyuan, master of the house of Cheng, along with his two sons were all beast tamers. All the folks from School of Divine Condor, the Long's and Xue's of Emperor City and Xu's from City of Huang could confirm that.

When the news spread, the whole world was shocked. This was truly astounding news!

If the Cheng's mystical spring had caught the public's attention, then the fact that there were three beast tamers at the Cheng's were definitely like a bolt from the blue.

Rather, everybody was very familiar with Cheng Biyuan. After all, his life had been so full of drama, who could ever forget that? And now that news about him have spread, it was no surprised that everybody was shocked out of their seats.

Of course, the one who was shocked out of his seat was the master of the Cheng's at Emperor City. The first thing he did after he recovered from the shock was to strike his favorite Cheng Bihua across his face so hard that he head turned the size of a pig's head.

How the outsiders react had not much to do with villagers of Willow or the Cheng's. They continue to live their lives as usual.

However, something was different in Willow today. The house of Patriarch Liu of Willow was filled with visitors. All of them villagers of Willow and all of them male.

The youngest one was Liu Danhuang, who was sitting in an inside corner.

Sitting at the host seat was Patriarch Liu, who, with his eyes half closed, hasn't utter a word yet. There were many attendees but nobody was saying anything, the entire living room was so quiet all one could hear was breathing sounds.

After a long while, Patriarch Liu looked up and a light of intelligence shone from his eyes. Looking at the several dozens of villagers in front of him, he said, "I believe everybody more or less have an idea of what had happened at the Cheng's. I trust that everyone has a pretty good idea the kind of people the Cheng's are, so I am not going to elaborate on that. What I want to say is, with my title as Patriarch, I would like to invite Master Cheng to be the instructor of Willow, to give our young a shot at new lives. So that Willow villagers will not only be hunters for generations to come. I trust that every one here has first hand experiences of what the life of a hunter is like.

"Master Cheng is a big shot. He never would have been here, but god had delivered him to us. And we should make good use of this opportunity to afford our youths the opportunity to rise above and have careers of their own and bring pride to the village of Willow. What is everyone's opinion?"

"......"

Everybody there looked at each other and nobody commented. Liu Danhuang, sitting in the corner, was nervous. He is worried that the others would veto this idea. He would really like to be accepted as a disciple of Cheng Biyuan.

"Uncle Liu was right. I agree with this request. Life has been harsh in our village. We struggle all the time just to feed ourselves, let alone bringing pride of the family. If our youths can become Master Cheng's disciples, it will offer them an alternative. Even if they can't bring pride to the family, but if they will just be able to put food on table and keep a roof overhead, that will still be an improvement. I personally support this idea!"

Liu Sanzhen was the first to voice his opinion.

Liu Hanlin, sitting next to him, broke into a smile, "This is a great idea. If I wasn't as old as I am, I'd want to become a martial art disciple too. I'm just worried that brother Cheng won't accept me as his student!"

Hearing his opinion, everybody started breaking out into approving smiles. Everybody understood that this was a great idea logically. But it took them a while to wrap their mind around an idea so unfamiliar. But once someone else had already voice their opinion, the rest of them started to open up.

"Patriarch, we are all hunters. We know full well how difficult lives are as hunters. Now that we are offered this opportunity, we would be doing our youths a disfavor if we let it slip past. I support this suggestion as well!"
