Chapter 59.1-3

He wanted the attention, but he didn’t expect that his opponentwouldn’t even pay him any attention. He looked pissed off, but before he couldsay anything, his instructor shot him a look and he knew better and swallowedhis words.

“So you are the Cheng’s maiden – Cheng Xiao Xiao!” said MuQingtong as he gave her a long, meaningful look.

“You knew I am, why ask?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao coldly, “So what’swith coming here with all these people?”

“Aren’t you an interesting one?” laughed Mu Qingtong as heapproached her slowly while staring at her intensely. “You know what this isabout, why do you ask?”

“Nonsense!” shouted Cheng Xiao Xiao blatantly, “You want to showoff, go somewhere else. We don’t like strangers here!”

“Miss Cheng, the old saying had it that anyone that come to yourhouse is a guest…”

Cheng Xiao Xiao cut him off right away, “We don’t welcomeunfriendly guests, please leave!”

“You…” Now Mu Qingtong was mad. Nobody had ever talked to him likethat before, especially in front of his students. But he managed to keep histemper under control, with a mild tone, he said, “Miss Cheng. We are here toask for a favor, you don’t need to be so standoffish. Is that how you wereraised?”

“You mean I should be raised to offer you fine wine and finedining right about now?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao sarcastically, “Surely you knewabout my confrontable with Ning Xunzong previously.”

“Ugh, yes!” Mu Qingtong had no idea why she brought that up, buthad no intention to cover that up.

Looking even more sarcastic, Cheng Xiao Xiao said, “Well, ifthat’s the case, why should we welcome you? You are right. I knew why you guysare here. You want us to submissively hand over our mythical animals and themythical well, and my family to become your servants. Should we kneel down nowand greet our masters?”\n“What?” A hint of annoyance flashed through Mu Qingtong’s face.Sternly he turned and looked at Ning Xunzong. Ning Xunzong was too scared tomeet his gaze.

Mu Qingtong wasn’t an idiot. The few sentences from Cheng XiaoXiao and judging by the reaction from Ning Xunzong, he could put two and twotogether and now the reaction from the Cheng’s made sense. Apparently, theNing’s went too overboard previously, leading to the consequences today.

“Greetings, Miss Cheng, I am Long Yuze of the Long’s of EmperorCity!” Suddenly a middle-age man wearing a brocade robe appeared out of nowhereand greeted Cheng Xiao Xiao with cupped hands.

“Greetings, Mr. Long!” Cheng Xiao Xiao bowed slightly. Of courseshe knew all these people came with the same purpose in mind, but since theywere still amicable, she had no reason to be rude to him.

Right then, another middle-age man stood out and greeted her withcupped hands, “Miss Cheng, I am Xue Xingchen of the Xue’s of Emperor City!”

“Miss Cheng, I am Su Yiyang of the Su’s of City of Huang!” saidanother middle-age man.

The presence of these three surprised everyone from School ofDivine Condor. These were all very powerful families. One could hear the crowdstarted discussing among themselves.

Mu Qingtong looked extremely displeased that others had the upperhand. He was even more mad that idiot Ning Xunzong and his two idiot friends.They discovered the mythical beasts and mythical spring, not only were they notable to secure a deal, but they had offended the Cheng’s, putting them in anawkward position.
