Second elder faked a few coughs. Once hegot everyone’s attention, he said, “If the mystical well is real, then, Biyuanand is two sons are all beast tamers? If they are real beast tamers, how come theynever let that showed before?”
His words were superfluous, that was thesame question that everybody had in mind. Of course, that was precise reasonwhy they were sitting there. They all wanted to know whether Cheng Biyuan andhis two sons were really beast tamers.
Everybody there were very familiar withCheng Biyuan’s life story. They knew full well how he had been wronged and thekind of humiliation that he had gone through. So, if he truly was a beasttamer, why did he have to endure all those?
On top of that, his two sons were bornunder everybody’s watch, and they have known them their entire lives. So howdid they suddenly become beast tamers?
Of course, they wouldn’t think thatthose from School of Divine Condor, or the Long’s, or the Xue’s, or the Xu’swere lying. Given their status, there were no reason for them to. Not tomention that all the news negatively impact their reputations. For those whoenjoys elite status, their reputations are the number one thing, so all themore they wouldn’t not be leaking rumors of this sort. Which left them withonly one possibility….
That Cheng Biyuan was, indeed, a beasttamer!
The thought of the term “beast tamer”made all of their blood boiled. They have experienced all the benefits whentheir family rose from the lowest tier to the top. However, ever since ChengBiyuan was ruined, the Cheng’s reputation had suffered greatly and things werenever the same again. In addition, the Cheng’s had paid almost one-third oftheir net worth to the Luo’s over the Cheng Biyuan and Luo Yuqin incident. Nomatter how you look at it, the Cheng’s status had fallen to the very bottom inEmperor City.\nIf Cheng Biyuan and his sons were trulybeast tamers, even if his cultivation level was low, this was still no smallfeat. After all, nobody said a beast tamer must be a martial art master. Evenif one was just mediocre, nobody would dare cross a beast tamer.
Everybody understood this clearly. Butknowing how they had treated Cheng Biyuan and his family, everybody was upsetand regretful. But no amount of distress or regretfulness would do them anygood. What they need to do was to figure out how to have Cheng Biyuan rejointhe family!
That was the main purpose of today’smeeting.
Everybody looked occupied with their ownthoughts, but they glanced repeatedly at the senior elder and master of thehousehold. They were the ones who insisted on banishing Cheng Biyuan and hisfamily way back when. Now they wanted him back, was that possible?
Yes, everybody had the same question ontheir minds. Was that possible?
Cheng Biyuan was no longer the pushoverthat he once was. After being abandoned time and again, would he still begrateful toward the Cheng’s?
Doubtful!
Secretly they’ve all asked themselves,if it were them, to be perfectly honest, there were no way they would bewilling to rejoin the family!
“Never mind if Cheng Biyuan and his sonsare beast tamers. The first and foremost item right now, is to figure out whatis going on with Cheng Biyuan and Willow Village. We’d need to first figurethat out before we figure out our next move!” said number fifth elder, breakingthe silence.
Third elder nodded, “Right, there’s nouse sitting around speculating about what is going on. No matter what, let’sfirst find out what is going on. If it’s just a beast tamer helping out ChengBiyuan, that’s a whole different story!”
