The other two only just now noticing the fiery lion after they heard
his voice. Their eyes bulged out and they were all shocked beyond words.
have seen fiery lion before, but have never seen one that was a mount
of a beast tamer. But from what they could tell, they were certain that
this fiery lion was her mount.
Cheng Xiao Xiao did not react to
their dumbfounded looks. Looking at them, she said softly, “Fellow
deacon elders, I have an idea of the purpose of your trip. I am sorry to
inform you that the mystical animals that you came for had already been
sold yesterday. I apologize.”
elders have regained their composure. Hearing Cheng Xiao Xiao’s words,
Elder Lin smiled, “You must be Miss Cheng Xiao Xiao of the Cheng’s. We
are aware of the situation you are talking about. The mystical animals
might be sold out, but certainly the mystical spring isn’t. May we
purchase some mystical spring water from the Cheng’s?”
right, Miss Cheng. We would like to purchase mystical spring water from
the Cheng’s as well. Would that be alright with Miss Cheng?” asked Elder
Elder Quan was even more courteous than the
other two, “Miss Cheng, I am the deacon of Huashan Sect. I represent
Huashan Sect to purchase mystical animals and mystical spring water from
the Cheng’s. I hope Miss Cheng will consider our offer!”
three of them were after the same thing. Cheng Xiao Xiao had long been
expecting this scenario so she was not surprise and handing this in
stride, “The three elders are so courteous. I understand your asks, but
currently we are under construction to expand our family house. We are
temporarily pausing any sales activities. After sometime, we will make
these purchases available to the public. Can I ask you to return then?”\n“Well, this….”
three looked at each other. They didn’t expect such a respond. This was
to say that their trip was a complete waste and they felt unreconciled.
Xiao Xiao didn’t pay attention to their thoughts. There was now a jade
vine in her hand that appeared out of nowhere. Pointing at the foothill
of Mount Wanan and the expansion construction, she continued, “Please
take a look, with all these going on, you can see why we have to pause
our sales for the time being.”
“…..” Looking at the direction that
she pointed at, they could see all the construction activities at the
foothill, they could tell the work was in full swing and they were
Sure enough, the Cheng’s wouldn’t have the time of day
to take care of those who were here to make purchases. If they want to
buy anything from them, they will have to wait till the construction has
been completed and those from the Cheng’s to free up.
But how could they return empty-handed after coming all the way to Willow?
though she could read their mind, a quick thought and three leather
water bottles appeared in her hand and she tossed them toward the three
at the bottom of the hilltop.
The three water bottles flew at them
at lightning speed and the riders on the horseback simultaneously
reached up for them. Holding the water bottles, they looked at Cheng
Xiao Xiao with questions in their eyes.
inquisitive looks, Cheng Xiao Xiao said, “There three water bottles are
gift for the three seniors. I hope that when the three seniors departed
from Willow, you can help us spread the message that the Cheng’s has
temporarily halted all sales activities. We are planning to resume these
activities in three months and would appreciate it if everyone could
resist from disturbing Willow for the time being!\n“Willow has
always been a quiet village, their villagers simple and kind. I do not
wish these innocent people to be harmed by others. Anyone continues to
try and intrude will be responsible for their own consequences. Please
help us relay this message!” After she was done, she bid them farewell
