“Nonsense! Don’t you try to play dumb with me!” Old man Cheng wasfurious, he shouted at his son while pointing straight at his nose.
Normally, a small location like this would never get the time ofday with the Cheng’s head of household, but the news today was too shocking.And now that his son seemed to know something about it, but was holding out onhim. He couldn’t contain himself.
Cheng Bihua was dumbfounded bit a little bit, he wasn’t sure whathe was asking, but he was a smart man after all. He figured out quickly whatthis was about, “Dad, are you referring to the incident in Willow Village?”
“Bullshit, of course! You thought I asked you in here to havetea?” Old man Cheng was so angry he evenlet out profanity. He was certainly frustrated.
“Dad, you were so obscured in the way you ask. How would I knowwhat you were asking?” griped Cheng Bihua. Looking at the very concernedfather, he had to spill, “I just know that Willow Village in Qing’an Provincewas where the brother went.”
“WHAT?” Old man Cheng was utterly shocked, but regained hiscomposure quickly. He looked extremely disturbed with deep hatred in his eyes.It looked as though someone had ate his flesh and drank his blood.
After a while, when he could better control his emotion, heglanced at this second son and coolly asked, “You followed that bastard?”
“Dad, I just wanted to see where he went!” Cheng Bihua was alittle embarrassed under his father’s sterm look.
Old man Cheng had a pretty good idea why he did what he did. Ofcourse he knew what went through his mind, but he had no more emotionattachment with his older son, so he didn’t care if he was live or dead, so hedidn’t comment any further.
Feeling relieved, Cheng Bihua smiled happily, “Dad, don’t youworry. The fact that there’s mythical spring at Willow Village had to be a lie.If it was there, I would have discovered it already!”\n“You sure?” asked Old man Ning with a deep voice, looking at hiswell-spirited son.
Cheng Bihua reassured him, “Dad, don’t worry. I won’t lie to you.If there was a mythical well, I would have told you already. Words wouldn’tjust be getting out now.”
While he was making this reassurance, little did he know that themythical spring only appeared after he was gone and that when Old man Chengfound out the truth, he’d beaten him half to death.
Not getting the mythical spring was part of the reason, the otherpart was even this son had lied to him.
The Cheng’s located at the foothill of Mt. Wan’an had no idea thatwords have spread throughout the entire Dafeng and everybody was heading theirway. Gradually, more and more visitors were arriving at the small town.
Innkeeper Zhu and his lot were always in the know of things; whenthey heard of this news, they were not only shocked, but also worried deeply.If everybody was here to fight for the mythical animals, how would they be ableto stand a chance?
Thinking of that, Deacon Bai and the lot dare not waste any moretime and rushed toward Willow Village again.
“What? The whole world knew already?” Cheng Xiao Xiao was sosurprised she slipped and shouted out loudly.
What did she meant by “the whole world”?
This was the first time everybody else had heard of this term; butthey could more or less figured out what she meant by that. Deacon Bai nodded, “Yes,Miss Cheng, I think you will be having quite a few visitors soon. I heard thatthe representatives from School of Divine Condor will also arriving in the nextcouple of days.”
“Thank you, I understand.” After the surprised, Cheng Xiao Xiaohad returned to her old nonchalant self.
She was, indeed, surprised that she had caused such a ruckus. Butit made sense, after all, what she had was well sought after.\n___
