Transmigration with QQ Farm

Chapter 78.2

Zhu Xiangyu was speechless. She was the only woman who had always been chasing him away. Nobody else ever dare talk to him like that. Except for her. And not just once or twice. This was the second time she was sending him away just today!

Was she really not fond of him at all?

“Yes, the purpose of my trip today is to discuss with Master Cheng and Miss Cheng about the auction you will be hosting in a month!”

“Auction?”

Cheng Biyuan had almost forgotten all about it. He thought Cheng Xiao Xiao was just throwing things out at the time. But it looked like everybody had taken it seriously. He would probably have to find some time to take care of this.

“Xiao Xiao, it was your proposal. How do you want to proceed?”

“However. We will just have someone build a small podium when the time comes. I will wing it when the time comes! Don’t worry, dad!” Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t seem to be troubled by this at all.

Cheng Biyuan nodded and said, “Okay, we will have that arranged. If you need anything else, just let your Uncle Zhou know!”

“Okay!”

Their conversation made Zhu Xiangyu speechless. He didn’t expect the Cheng’s would be so casual about this upcoming auction. Those from the outside were about to go berserk over this!

“Miss Cheng, I am curious about the arrangement of this said auction. How many different items will be auctioned off. I wonder if you can provide me with some more information in advance?”

Seeing the anticipation in Zhu Xiangyu’s eyes, a wicked grin appeared on Cheng Xiao Xiao’s face and she said, “No, I can’t tell you just yet.”

“Why not?” Zhu Xiangyu was stunned, with his status as the representative of the Green Mountain Manor, he should be able to get some insider information!

“No reason. Because you already knew of all the items that would appear in the auction. As for whether there will be any additional items, I really have no idea. Maybe there will be, maybe there won’t!”

“This….” Zhu Xiangyu felt a bit unreconciled.

Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and with a sideway glance said, “I’ll give you an advice. Prepare more of what we need, because no matter what we are auctioning off, we will only accept what is suitable for us. At the end of the day, if you are not sufficiently prepared and can’t get the items that you want, don’t say I didn’t give you a heads up!”

Listening to the heads up that wasn’t really a heads up, Zhu Xiangyu understood that he wouldn’t be getting any more out of her.

Ignoring Zhu Xiangyu, Cheng Xiao Xiao turned to her father who was sitting in the head of household position and said to him, “Dad, we will be adding a deacon elder to our household. From now on, I won’t be anticipating too much craziness in the future!”

“Deacon elder?” Cheng Biyuan was stunned, “What deacon elder, Xiao Xiao? And where is this deacon elder?”

Other than him, everybody else also had a confused look on them. It didn’t seem like there had been a lot of outsiders around the house, when did this deacon elder get here?

Watching everybody’s reaction, Cheng Xiao Xiao had a secretive smile on her face. She shouted toward the beam up above and said, “Why don’t you c’mon down, Elder Ying?”

Old man Ying, receiving his order, floated down from above!

When they saw clearly who it was, Cheng Biyuan and Zhou Jinjiang looked ghastly. They jumped up from their seats and looked straight at him with deadly stare.

They would recognize this man from miles away. This person was the mysterious old man who attacked their family eight nights ago!

“Old scoundrel! It’s you!” Cheng Zheng Yuan recognized him by now. He ran in front of him and shouted at him angrily, “How dare you come to our house again!”

Old man Ying didn’t even know to respond to the little guy.

He didn’t come to rob or kill this time, okay? Geez, must he be so mean to a  grandpa?

Ever since his mindset had been readjusted, he was also a lot less violent and more friendly. But, of course, Cheng Xiao Xiao was the only one who knew about the changes, not the others present.

Cheng Biyuan still looked ghastly, but he noticed that the old man didn’t make any movements, nor was he exuding any killer. He calmed down quickly and, at the same time, remember his daughter’s words. Did she….

His eyes contracted suddenly and he couldn’t help but to look over at his daughter. At the same time, Zhou Jinjiang who had thought of the same thing also turned and look at Cheng Xiao Xiao.

If Cheng Biyuan’s reaction had given Zhu Xiangyu any suspicion; then Cheng Zheng Yuan’s words definitely made him think of something. He was stunned all over again.

Hearing her brother’s words, Cheng Xiao Xiao teased and said, “Zheng Yuan, you better be careful. Elder Ying can squish you into minced meat with just one of his little fingers!”

“Miss, please don’t say that. I think young master is already mad enough at me!” said Old man Ying with a bitter smile.

Just that one line from him stunned everyone there immediately. All of their eyes widened and they all looked incredulous.

“What? He is an elder of our house?” asked the stupefied Cheng Zheng Yuan.

Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded. Looking at her father and the rest who were still stoned, she couldn’t help but covered up her mouth and smiled, “Yes, Elder Ying will be our Deacon Elder starting today. Not only will he help us guard our home; he will also help dad and Uncle Zhou with other matters concerning the family!”

“I am Ying Ziliang. Greetings, Master, Madam!” Old man Ying cupped his hand and greeted Cheng Biyuan. His tone and mannerism very respectful and didn’t seem fake at all.

Cheng Biyuan let out a deep, long breath and suppressed his roiling emotions. He nodded at him and said, “Greetings, Elder Ying. Treat this as your own home from now on!”

“Exactly, we will let bygones be bygones and no need to bring any of those up every again. We will help each other out going forward!” Smiling, Cheng Xiao Xiao chimed in.

Zhu Xiangyu really wanted to smack himself upside his own head. He really wanted to know if he was dreaming!

If he was right about it, the martial emperor who had attacked the Cheng’s eight nights ago had just became the Cheng’s deacon elder. Was this some sort of a joke?

He couldn’t lift his eyes off of this martial emperor. He was dying to know why he’d decide to stay at the Cheng’s. Even if you pooled every single person at the Cheng’s, they were still no match for a martial emperor.

In other words, this martial emperor could come and go as he pleased. There were no reason at all for him to stay and serve the Cheng’s.

Zhu Xiangyu examined him up and down with his eyes and couldn’t discover anything out of place with the martial emperor. There were no signs that he was staying against his will. From his look and eyes, he seemed to be staying out of his own will.

“Hey, kid, didn’t your mother teach you that it’s rude to stare at someone like that?”

Old man Ying was respectful to the Cheng’s, but that didn’t mean he would be respectful to everyone. He was still that prideful martial emperor. He would still annihilate anyone who was rude to him.

“Ugh.” Under the sharp stare of Old Man Ying, he retracted his look with slight embarrassment. Cupping his hands, he said, “Junior is Zhu Xiangyu of the Green Mountain Manor. Greetings, Senior!”

“Hrm, don’t bother dropping names in front of me. I couldn’t care less about those!” Old Man Ying was still a prideful man!

Zhu Xiangyu felt very awkward in front of the hard-to-please old man. Alas, what could he do about that?
