“That’s right, have them go home atnight. Less hassle for us!” Mrs. Cheng was about to raise both her hands andfeet in agreement.
Cheng Biyuan’s mouth moved but he darednot rebut her. Cheng Xiao Xiao just found the whole thing funny, “Mom, that’snot possible. This is only temporary. We are going to need more and more helpas time go on. We can’t do everything ourselves, nor will we be able to do it.”
“Hmm, I guess that is true!” Mrs. Chengunderstood that a large family employs many servants and guards; every one ofthem help out with chores around the house. There no other way a large familycan function.
“Dad, you can relate these requests backto Patriarch Liu. Let’s go check out the location, the draft up the blue print.Then we can have the villagers help us with the construction!”
“Okay! Whatever you say!” repliedPatriarch Liu after hearing all of Cheng Biyuan’s requests.
In the days that followed, the Cheng’sand the Willow villagers slaved over the housing project. As for the youthsfrom Willow, anyone who were interested in practicing martial art was accepted.After some testing, they were divided into two groups – a group of students byname, and another group of official disciples. Several dozens of young menbecame Cheng Biyuan’s first batch of disciples.
People from the outside were stillrecovering from the shock of what happened at the Cheng’s. When the leaders atSchool of Divine Condor found out that the ones that they sent out muddled upthings worse than before, they wanted to have them all strangled.
Not only that the Cheng’s has a mysticalspring in their possession, and they also have three beast tamers. All thesewere invaluable, even School of Divine Condor couldn’t afford to offend someonelike that. Yet the people that they sent couldn’t possibly had offended theCheng’s more.\nThe dean of the school pounded his chestand also spit out blood from regret.
Regardless, they couldn’t just pretendnothing had happened. After some discussions, the associate dean, along withfour instructors, would be heading to Willow one more time along with some onehundred or so genius students.
The reactions of the Long’s, the Xue’s,and the Xu’s aside, Cheng Bihua, from the Cheng’s also situated in EmperorCity, was lying immobile in bed, groaning and moaning, “Impossible! Utterlyimpossible! They can’t be beast tamers! No! No! No! I refused to believe. Irefuse! Refuse!
“Something is wrong. I am sure of that.That garbage, how could he be a beast tamer? Ha ha ha ….” Despite being inexcruciating pain, he let out a maniacal laugh, “The useless garbage whom Ihave broken all of his bones turned out to be a beast tamer? Ha ha ha ha ha…”
“Ridiculous! Just ridiculous! Ha ha haha ha…”
The laugh got progressively moremaniacal. All the servants and maids turned and ran away. They didn’t want tobe caught having to serve the crazy young master!”
Inside the living room sat the Chengelders. None of them were looking very happy. The entire living room exude asense of gloom and doom.
After a while, a more senior elder beganto talk slowly, “Master, what are your thoughts? Do you still think that therumors about what has been going on in Willow are fake?”
“…..” Head of the Cheng householdremained silent, with his eyes half closed.
The three elders exchanged looks, “Weweren’t sure if they were true before now. But now that the instructor fromSchool of Divine Condor, along with the Long’s, the Xue’s, and the Xu’s all attest to the fact that they were true. Ifwe still insist that these were just baseless rumors, then either they areidiots, or we are the idiots!”
“Cough, cough, cough…”\n___
