Crazy News; Everybody Has Their Own Thoughts (5)

"That's right, have them go home at night. Less hassle for us!" Mrs. Cheng was about to raise both her hands and feet in agreement.

Cheng Biyuan's mouth moved but he dared not rebut her. Cheng Xiao Xiao just found the whole thing funny, "Mom, that's not possible. This is only temporary. We are going to need more and more help as time go on. We can't do everything ourselves, nor will we be able to do it."

"Hmm, I guess that is true!" Mrs. Cheng understood that a large family employs many servants and guards; every one of them help out with chores around the house. There no other way a large family can function.

"Dad, you can relate these requests back to Patriarch Liu. Let's go check out the location, to draft up the blue print. Then we can have the villagers help us with the construction!"

"Okay! Whatever you say!" replied Patriarch Liu after hearing all of Cheng Biyuan's requests.

In the days that followed, the Cheng's and the Willow villagers slaved over the housing project. As for the youths from Willow, anyone who were interested in practicing martial art was accepted. After some testing, they were divided into two groups - a group of students by name, and another group of official disciples. Several dozens of young men became Cheng Biyuan's first batch of disciples.

People from the outside were still recovering from the shock of what happened at the Cheng's. When the leaders at School of Divine Condor found out that the ones that they sent out muddled up things worse than before, they wanted to have them all strangled.

Not only that the Cheng's has a mystical spring in their possession, and they also have three beast tamers. All these were invaluable, even School of Divine Condor couldn't afford to offend someone like that. Yet the people that they sent couldn't possibly had offended the Cheng's more.

The dean of the school pounded his chest and also spit out blood from regret.

Regardless, they couldn't just pretend nothing had happened. After some discussions, the associate dean, along with four instructors, would be heading to Willow one more time along with some one hundred or so genius students.

The reactions of the Long's, the Xue's, and the Xu's aside, Cheng Bihua, from the Cheng's also situated in Emperor City, was lying immobile in bed, groaning and moaning, "Impossible! Utterly impossible! They can't be beast tamers! No! No! No! I refused to believe. I refuse! Refuse!

"Something is wrong. I am sure of that. That garbage, how could he be a beast tamer? Ha ha ha ...." Despite being in excruciating pain, he let out a maniacal laugh, "The useless garbage whom I have broken all of his bones turned out to be a beast tamer? Ha ha ha ha ha..."

"Ridiculous! Just ridiculous! Ha ha ha ha ha..."

The laugh got progressively more maniacal. All the servants and maids turned and ran away. They didn't want to be caught having to serve the crazy young master!"

Inside the living room sat the Cheng elders. None of them were looking very happy. The entire living room exude a sense of gloom and doom.

After a while, a more senior elder began to talk slowly, "Master, what are your thoughts? Do you still think that the rumors about what has been going on in Willow are fake?"

"....." Head of the Cheng household remained silent, with his eyes half closed.

The three elders exchanged looks, "We weren't sure if they were true before now. But now that the instructor from School of Divine Condor, along with the Long's, the Xue's, and the Xu's all attest to the fact that they were true. If we still insist that these were just baseless rumors, then either they are idiots, or we are the idiots!"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Second elder faked a few coughs. Once he got everyone's attention, he said, "If the mystical well is real, then, Biyuan and is two sons are all beast tamers? If they are real beast tamers, how come they never let that showed before?"

His words were superfluous, that was the same question that everybody had in mind. Of course, that was precise reason why they were sitting there. They all wanted to know whether Cheng Biyuan and his two sons were really beast tamers.

Everybody there were very familiar with Cheng Biyuan's life story. They knew full well how he had been wronged and the kind of humiliation that he had gone through. So, if he truly was a beast tamer, why did he have to endure all those?

On top of that, his two sons were born under everybody's watch, and they have known them their entire lives. So how did they suddenly become beast tamers?

Of course, they wouldn't think that those from School of Divine Condor, or the Long's, or the Xue's, or the Xu's were lying. Given their status, there were no reason for them to. Not to mention that all the news negatively impact their reputations. For those who enjoys elite status, their reputations are the number one thing, so all the more they wouldn't not be leaking rumors of this sort. Which left them with only one possibility....

That Cheng Biyuan was, indeed, a beast tamer!

The thought of the term "beast tamer" made all of their blood boiled. They have experienced all the benefits when their family rose from the lowest tier to the top. However, ever since Cheng Biyuan was ruined, the Cheng's reputation had suffered greatly and things were never the same again. In addition, the Cheng's had paid almost one-third of their net worth to the Luo's over the Cheng Biyuan and Luo Yuqin incident. No matter how you look at it, the Cheng's status had fallen to the very bottom in Emperor City.

If Cheng Biyuan and his sons were truly beast tamers, even if his cultivation level was low, this was still no small feat. After all, nobody said a beast tamer must be a martial art master. Even if one was just mediocre, nobody would dare cross a beast tamer.

Everybody understood this clearly. But knowing how they had treated Cheng Biyuan and his family, everybody was upset and regretful. But no amount of distress or regretfulness would do them any good. What they need to do was to figure out how to have Cheng Biyuan rejoin the family!

That was the main purpose of today's meeting.

Everybody looked occupied with their own thoughts, but they glanced repeatedly at the senior elder and master of the household. They were the ones who insisted on banishing Cheng Biyuan and his family way back when. Now they wanted him back, was that possible?

Yes, everybody had the same question on their minds. Was that possible?

Cheng Biyuan was no longer the pushover that he once was. After being abandoned time and again, would he still be grateful toward the Cheng's?

Doubtful!

Secretly they've all asked themselves, if it were them, to be perfectly honest, there were no way they would be willing to rejoin the family!

"Never mind if Cheng Biyuan and his sons are beast tamers. The first and foremost item right now, is to figure out what is going on with Cheng Biyuan and Willow Village. We'd need to first figure that out before we figure out our next move!" said number fifth elder, breaking the silence.

Third elder nodded, "Right, there's no use sitting around speculating about what is going on. No matter what, let's first find out what is going on. If it's just a beast tamer helping out Cheng Biyuan, that's a whole different story!"
