Transmigration with QQ Farm

Chapter 72 part 4

"I am the royal commandant and I am here under the emperor's order. Please pardon our visit!" The middle aged man cupped his hands and greeted Cheng Biyuan politely.

Cheng Biyuan hurried to greet him back, after all, the other party was here under the emperor's order, "You are too polite. May I ask what is your purpose of visit, Mr. Commandant?"

"Master Cheng, have you forgotten me already?" said the middle-aged man with a smiile.

Cheng Xiao Xiao was quite surprised upon hearing that. What did her father have to do with a royal commandant? She was familiar with the title royal commandant. It was the equivalent of an imperial guard, they were very close to the emperor. One could say it's the emperor's most trusted troop.

Nonetheless, Cheng Biyuan smiled bitterly, "Brother Zhou! Pardon me, brother Zhou!"

"No, three years ago you left without bidding me farewell. I felt for sure you have already forgotten all about me!" Zhou Jinjiang seemed a little bit displeased and his tone a little bit stiff.

"I am sorry, brother Zhou, back then...."

"Hrm, if I wasn't so busy with my missions, I would have looked for you way before now. Well, I didn't think you guys would have caused such a ruckus. That had certainly saved me the hassle of seeking you out!"

Zhou Jinjiang casted him a look then turned and looked at the Cheng's brother and sister and said, "Xiao Xiao, Zheng Yuan, you two didn't forget about your Uncle Zhou in the last three years now, did you?"

"Uncle Zhou?" said Cheng Xiao Xiao. She truly didn't remember him. She wasn't the original owner after all.

Cheng Zheng Yuan obediently called him, "How have you been, Uncle Zhou?"

"Good, good. Zheng Bin and Lan Lan have all grown up too!" Zhou Jinjiang smiled at the two children in front of him.

Cheng Zheng Bin seemed to recall a little bit about him and called out, "Uncle Zhou, Zheng Bin remembers you. You've bought me a wooden sword as a gift!"

"Ho ho, Zheng Bin has such good memory!" smiled Zhou Jinjiang happily.

He was the closest brother that Cheng Biyuan had in his circle of friends as they were both from Emperor City and have known each other for the longest. Even though they have only seen each other a few times, they were brothers that never let the fact that Cheng Biyuan was banished got in between them.

As he had said earlier, the major events that happened to Cheng Biyuan leading to his banishment, he certainly left without bidding farewell. And they have had no contacts in the last three years.

Until they have just met each other again, Cheng Biyuan was, indeed, a little uncertain. After all, they didn't knew each other through their positions. Cheng Biyuan was aware that Zhou Jinjiang worked for the royals, but he was taken aback by his sudden appearance in full official garb along with a troop of guards, which was why he didn't greet him right away.

At this time, Mrs. Cheng also approached them and bowed at Zhou Jinjiang, "Cheng Yuqin greets Uncle Zhou. It's been a while, Uncle Zhou!"

"Little sister, I never thought I'd run into you guys here!" said Zhou Jinjiang with a light sigh.

Mrs. Cheng's eyes reddened and she nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Zhou for coming to visit us!"

"You guys... " Zhou Jinjiang had an idea of what had transpired with the Cheng's. But as an outsider, it was difficult for him to meddle in their business. But he has always known that life had been rough for the family of this brother that he was fond of. He had wanted to help back in the days, it just that Cheng Biyuan didn't want to accept his help.

This time when he heard caught wind about the Cheng's family, he specifically obtained the permission from the emperor to be the lead person of this mission so he has a legit reason to leave Emperor City to come look for them.

"Okay, now that there are no more outsiders around, I would like to ask about the real situation about your family!" asked Zhou Jinjian with a solemn look. "All the rumors that I have been hearing outside, are they all true?"

"Brother Zhou, you mean the royal family has....."
"Don't get any crazy ideas!" Zhou Jinjiang seemed to have an idea about what Cheng Biyuan was about to ask, "Don't you worry, his majesty merely wanted to know whether the Cheng's truly has a beast tamer. This is very important and you must be honest to me. Biyuan, you know it as well as I do how important are beast tamers to Dafeng!"

"I understand!" Cheng Biyuan felt better after he heard that. His look lingered on his eldest daughter and he smiled, "Brother Zhou, if it was any one else, I wouldn't' breathe a word. But I don't need to beat around the bush with you, the real master beast tamer is Xiao Xiao. She can definitely command tens and thousands of beasts!"

"It's Xiao Xiao?"

Zhou Jinjiang was more than a little bit surprised, he never expected the beast tamer to be the eldest and most timid Cheng Xiao Xiao.

In his mind, Cheng Xiao Xiao was the most timid of them all. Every time he saw her in the past, she just sat there quietly, never talked much.

By now Cheng Xiao Xiao had a pretty good idea what was the old Cheng Xiao Xiao like previously. Zhou Jinjiang's expression has given his thoughts away. Smiling tenderly, she said, "Uncle Zhou, do you not believe it? Would you like me to summon them to play with you?"

"Play with me?" Zhou Jinjiang didn't understand what she meant by that.

Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled mysteriously, a wave of her arm and a fiery bird appeared. This was a new species that appeared after the dimension had levelled up. After cultivated by little Yuteng, it was no longer just a regular bird, it has gained the ability to battle.

In addition to being able to fly, it was also able to breathe fire. This was the ability of the fiery bird.

"This is a mystical beast!"

Zhou Jinjiang's eyes widened with both surprises and excitement on his face. He now believed in the words of the Cheng's. The once little brat had truly became a beast tamer.

"Good, good, good. Awesome, awesome. This is great!" exclaimed Zhou Jinjiang ecstatically. He was happy both for Cheng Biyuan and also for the fact that there's now a beast tamer in Dafeng.

Everybody at the Cheng's smiled and Cheng Xiao Xiao was quite fond of this Uncle Zhou as well. After little Yuteng had peeked into his heart, she had discovered that he was genuinely nice toward her family.

"Uncle Zhou, this is a fiery bird. It could carry it's own in flight and also assist you in battle. I am gifting it to you as a pet, please do accept it. Otherwise, my feelings will be hurt!"

"For me?"

Zhou Jinjiang was very surprised. But he was quite fond of the fiery bird in front of him. Under order, the fiery bird walked toward him and nuzzled him gently with its head. One could tell it was trying to please him.

"HAHAHA! Okay, Xiao Xiao, Uncle Zhou thank you. I will accept your gift!"

"I am glad Uncle Zhou is happy with his gift!" Cheng Xiao Xiao gave a sweet smile.

Cheng Biyuan was equally happy. Smiling, he said, "Brother Zhou, it's okay. Xiao Xiao had plenty of mystical beasts. It's rare that she was willing to give them away as gift, if you don't accept it, it will be your loss!"

"Dad! I am not that frugal!"

"I don't know if you are frugal or not, I only know that you charge others mystical stones to eat our food!"

"HAHAHA....."

The conversation between the Cheng's father and daughter made Zhou Jinjiang laughed wholeheartedly, "I have heard about that too. About how you are using those jerks from the School of Divine Condor as labors for days and even made them pay for their meals with mystical stones. Everybody had heard about that on the outside already. HAHAHA...."

"HOHOHO...."

Everybody started laughing. The laughter surprised the guards waiting outside the courtyard. Of course, those who had heard the conversation was not so surprised.
