Expansion of The House; A Deal Was Made
“It wasn’t our fault that he was injured!” said Ning Xunzong, displeased. “It was the Cheng’s who injured him. He should be mad at them. Let me put it this way, if we don’t inform him of the three geezers’ plan, wouldn’t he be more upset once he finds out?”
“We can just pretend that we don’t know about it either. You want to report to him, you can go by yourself!” replied shi xiong Zhou impatiently.
Ning Xunzong, who was just about to say something else, kept his mouth shut. He had always listened to shi xiong Zhou’s words and never thought about disagreeing with him.
Shi xiong Gu could tell that Ning Xunzong hadn’t quite figured it out yet so he explained to him explicitly, “Shi di Ning, you are aware that our associate dean will be rushing over to Willow soon, right?”
“Yeah, I have heard about that,” nodded Ning Xunzong, and still baffled, “What does that have to do with anything?”
“Nonsense, it has everything to do with everything!” Even shi xiong Gu almost lost his temper, grudgingly he explained, “Don’t you know how much the Cheng’s hate School of Divine Condor. Not even instructor Mu was able to accomplishment anything. What do you think he could do if you report that to him now? You think he could forbid the three elders from going to Willow?
“And if instructor Mu don’t have the power to stop the three from going. Then our informing him of it would just be like adding fuel to fire. And he’d displace his anger to us. Now we are just asking for it. Do you get it now?”
His simple yet straightforward words finally let Ning Xunzong knew to not be an idiot about this. But he wasn’t ready to give up just yet, “What happens if they were really able to get inside Willow tomorrow?”
“What can we do? It’s not like we can stop them. Not to mentioned that those from Lai Yue Inn had already had dealings with the Cheng’s and purchased their mystical animals. What’s the point of being anxious now?”
Naturally they have all heard of the heated discussion out on the streets. The more Ning Xunzong thought about, the more he couldn’t just let it go to rest. Gritted his teeth, he said, “Shi xiong Zhou, shi xiong Gu, how about this? Why don’t we follow behind the three geezers tomorrow and see if they are able to get into Willow? What do you think?”
“Follow them secretly?”
“And you don’t think they wouldn't notice with their level of cultivation?”
Both of them rolled their eyes at Ning Xunzong’s suggestion.
“We know the way to go there too. We can follow from afar. I am not suggesting for us to go with them. We just want to see whether they will be able to get inside of Willow!”
Ning Xunzong’s eyes sparked and he let on an odd smile and said, “And if they were able to get through, we can secretly follow them in also. We can see if any of the Willow villagers can be of use to us. And if they can….”
His words have finally piqued the interest of the other two. They exchanged the look and saw the excitement in each others’ eyes. Shi xiong Zhou couldn’t help but nodded, “Yeah, all we need to do is to follow from a distance and not alert them. As for going inside Willow…”
“Shi xiong Zhou, the Willow villagers are probably quite close with the Cheng’s. Nothing wrong for us to get close to them!” smiled shi xiong Gu brightly.
“You are exactly right!” smiled shi xiong Zhou, his eyes sparkling, “I say we go prepared. Shi di Ning, you too. Remember to bring plenty of cash!”
“Cash?” Ning Xunzong paused for a second and quickly got the hint. With a look of enlightenment, he stood up high-spirited, “No problem, let me go get some cash from the accounting!”
“Cough cough cough…”
Shi xiong Gu fake coughed. After he got Ning Xunzong’s attention, he said slowly, “Shi di Ning, don’t forget that we are sneaking out secretly. Don’t attract any attention, even those from your family. You get that?”
“Yes, yes, I understand?” After he was reminded, Ning Xunzong recollected himself and put his smile away and walked outside of the room with fake calmness.
After he left the room, shi xiong Zhou couldn’t help but shook his head and said, “That idiot, I hope he doesn’t mess it all up!”
“He was the one who messed up the whole thing from the very beginning! I think it’s a matter of time before he was kicked out of the school!”
In looking back on their first visit to the Cheng’s, shi xiong Zhou had a shred of regret of letting Ning Xunzong act like a fool and created the tension between them and the Cheng’s and finally spiraling out of control to the point of becoming enemies of the Cheng’s.
The other one has a complicated look in his face and nobody could tell what was going through his mind.
At this very moment, a group of travel-worn and weary riders on horsebacks had arrived at Lai Yue Inn in Qing’an Province. These were the ones from the School of Divine Condor.
The associate dean and the instructors were staying inside an elegantly-built side structure and all the students that came with them gathered in the hall. The topics of their conversations were none other than the Cheng’s.
“Do you think Cheng Biyuan is the beast tamer or his two sons? It is impossible that the entire family are beast tamers!” said a slightly chubby young man who had a very disturbed look on him, as though this question has really been troubling him.
“Shi xiong Chubby, how does it concern you whether they are beast tamers or not? There’s no need to be bothered by that. We will find out once we get there!”
“Oh yeah, fellow shi xiong’s and shi di’s, I’ve heard that Cheng Biyuan has an older daughter who looks to be about 16 right now. I wonder what she looks like?”
