Chapter 518 – Remembrance of the Past; Startling Truth (8)
“Don’t worry. When the time comes, we will for you let you be the one who’d kill him with your own hands!” A flash of killer’s intent flashed through Cheng Xiao Xiao’s eyes.
“Me? No, I won’t be able to,” said Elder while shaking his head. Smiling bitterly, he carried on, “I am powerless in front of him. If I want to avenge my family, I will need to rely on the others.”
“That’s not necessarily true,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao while smiling confidently. She walked over to the crystal fruit tree, plucked one of the fruits and handed it over to him as she said, “Here, Elder. Try one.”
“This…” Elder, holding the sparkling, translucent fruit, asked dumbfounded, “This is edible?”
“Of course it is edible,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao as she plucked another one from the tree and started eating it herself.
She took him around the dimension and introduced some of the things to him while they were eating the crystal fruits. They had also discussed how the other elders wanted to lift the curse and be able to breakthrough to martial monarch.
Afterward, Cheng Xiao Xiao had Little Yuteng help Elder get rid of his poison. Cheng Xiao Xiao would be of no help at all when it came to that. Little Yuteng would be the only one who knew what to do.
On her way out, Cheng Xiao Xiao brought with her a few crystal fruits, a few snow ginsengs, and a few yexian grass.
As soon as she got back out, she immediately summoned the Cheng’s elders. Other than Old Man Ying, the rest were the elders that they had recruited a while back – Gu Chengli, Zongzheng Zhuxuan, Wang Weidong, Chen Yangqing, Luo Jiangwang, and Lin Daozi – a total of six of them. With the exception of Lin Daozi, who stayed to help out at the County government, the rest all gathered around.
“Miss, say, why did you call for us?” asked Old Man Ying with a pleasant smile.
Cheng Xiao Xiao raised her brows and said, “Of course it’s something good. Feel free to get out if you don’t’ want to stay.”
“No, I don’t want to get out. Miss, please, just let us know what it is that you need to get done.” Old Man Ying was a total rogue in front of Cheng Xiao Xiao with not a shred of the kind of authority that one’d expect from a First Elder. Everybody was dumbfounded watching the interaction between the two.
They had never expected such a highly-regarded martial monarch has such a “cute” side of him.
“You sure about that? I sort of wish you would leave.”
Cheng Xiao Xiao gave him a glance and couldn’t be bothered with messing around with him any longer. She scanned over the remaining five elders and said, “Elder Gu, Elder Zongzheng, Elder Wang, Elder Chen, and Elder Luo. In the recent days, Sacred Land Zhongyuan would become busier than ever and there will be lots to take are of. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about that After all, we are just now starting out so I hope you will all do your best to support.”
“No worries, Miss. This is our duties,” said Elder Gu with his hands cupped.
“Miss, if there is anything that we can help with, just let us know. We will for sure complete the assignments within our powers.”
“Miss, we are ready whenever.”
All of them started talking all at once. They all looked very sincere. As far as they were concerned, they had been treated very nicely in the days after they had joined the Cheng’s. The work there hadn’t been very difficult.
Nodded slightly, Cheng Xiao Xiao was looking solemn as well. She said to them, “You were all there when Elder reported to us so you have an idea what had taken place. We will be taking a trip to Capital City recently to put an end to this matter and a few of you might be joining us.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Naturally, they had expected that and none of them were surprised by it.
“You were all martial kings, but…” Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at them and said to them sternly, “I want you all to advance to martial monarch tonight. No exceptions!”
“Yes…”
They were surprised, but they accepted the request reflexively. They were well aware of their young mistress’s ability so they all anticipated what was to come!
“Very well then!”
