Hearing Yutengâs voice by her ear, ChengXiao Xiao couldnât help but stopped in her path. The two girls behind herstopped as well.
âLetâs go this way!â Cheng Xiao Xiaodidnât know who wanted to see her, but she wanted to go check it out.
Right now, itâs no easy feat for anyoneto step foot in Willow. Ever since they had flung every one out last time,Cheng Xiao Xiao didnât want to be bothered by any other visitors, so shespecifically told the mystical beasts to guard all the entrances to thevillage. Anyone who tries to enter will meet the same fate â being fed to thesnakes!
They havenât made it too far theyspotted Liu Danhuang coming toward them riding on a large tiger.
After Liu Danhuang had been admitted asa disciple, his became the first patrol guard of the Chengâs and patrolled thesurrounding area with the Cheng brothers to keep the village safe.
âShimei1!â
Liu Danhaung called out to her before heleaped off from the white tiger. The white tiger, however, approached ChengXiao Xiao in a very friendly manner and nuzzled her on her leg. The white tigerseemed tame, but the Liuâs sisters were so scared they took a few steps back.
Most girls were afraid of the viciousbeasts from the dimension. With a smile, Cheng Xiao Xiao gently kicked thewhite tiger. This tiger was not Cheng Zheng Yuanâs pet, it was a different oneraised in the dimension and it has also joined the rank as a member of thepatrolling team.
Villagers of Willow were already awareof the change of the Chengâs. Being from this era, they were no strangers toancient martial art sect or cultivation sect. So none of them found these changestoo shocking, contrarily, they accepted them all with relative ease.
Originally they thought the teacher fortheir youths were just some common skillful martial artist, they didnât know hewas one of the best of the best. All the Willow villagers were so happy theyalmost lost their minds.\nLiu Danhuang handed over the letter hejust received to her and said, âShimei,a letter from someone from the outside. Itâs for master and you!â
âOh?â
Cheng Xiao Xiao took the letter from himand opened it up, it was from Innkeeper Zhu of Lai Yue Inn. After she finishedreading it, she paused, gave it a thought and said, âShixiong Danhuang, why donât you go meet up with the visitors atthe entrance of the village tomorrow morning and bring them in?â
âSure!â
âPlease donât let me keep you!â
The two didnât talk for too long. ChengXiao Xiao brought the two girls back to the house and Liu Danhuang mounted thewhite tiger and resumed his patrolling duties.
After she has arrived back at thecourtyard, Cheng Xiao Xiao sent Yecao to go get her father.
A moment later, Cheng Biyuan, who wasdripping with sweats, returned from the construction site and said to her,âXiao Xiao, whatâs the matter?â
âDad, no rush. Why donât you wash yourface first, then we can talk?â
âOkay, give me a minute. Itâs been sohot outside!â
Cheng Biyuan was about to turn aroundand walk inside the kitchen when Mrs. Cheng brought the maid and walked outwith a bucket of water, âHere you go, the water is ready. Go ahead!â
Shortly, while Cheng Xiao Xiao waspreparing tea and assisted by Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Biyuan got ready and went tosit next to his daughter.
Cheng Xiao Xiao handed him a cup of hottea and smiled, âDad, youâve had a hard day, have some tea!â
âThe tea can wait. Go head, why were youlooking for me?â
âDad, take a look at this first!â
With that she retrieved the letter frominside her sleeve and handed it over to her father. Cheng Biyuan opened up theletter without saying anything else.
Cheng Biyuan scanned over the content ofthe letter quickly and asked, âXiao Xiao, do you think we should meet withthem?â\nâWe should. We need to purchase someitems for the house and itâs kind of inconvenient for us to go do so ourselves.We can just have Innkeeper Zhu run the errands for us. I trust they will bevery willing to do us the favor!â replied Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile.
Right then, Mrs. Cheng came over aswell. Sitting down, she asked, âXiao Xiao, are there a lot of people who wantedto come in?â
