ch 118 – Lots of Drama; Beautiful Scholar (11)

“That’s it? Are Deacon Bai and Deacon Lin idiots? Why couldn’t they do that?” Zhu Xiangyu was disgruntled about their two subordinates.

Corners of Zhu Bo’s mouth formed a mysterious smile, “I don’t know if they are idiots, all I know was that they couldn’t rival the Cheng’s. I should say, they couldn’t rival Cheng Xiao Xiao!”

“Cheng Xiao Xiao? Is she Cheng Biyuan’s daughter?” Zhu Xiangyu was a bit surprised, “You mean to say that Cheng Xiao Xiao is more powerful than her father Cheng Biyuan?”

“I can’t guarantee whether she is more powerful than Cheng Biyuan. But in addition to making sure our delivery arrive safely, you also need to figure out whether the Cheng’s father and sons are the master beast tamers or whether it is the hidden Cheng Xiao Xiao. From Deacon Bai and Deacon Lin’s reports, it seems the maiden Cheng Xiao Xiao was the real master beast tamer!”

Hearing his father’s words, a bright smile filled Zhu Xiangyu’s beautiful face. He nodded, “This is interesting. A 16-year-old master beast tamer will definitely be more powerful than Cheng Biyuan!”

“Xiang’er, there’s one more thing that you’d really need to look into!” said Zhu Bo as solemnly as he could.

Zhu Xiangyu noticed his dad’s solemnness and cautiousness so he, too, became more serious, “Dad, do tell!”

“Everything the Cheng’s has came so abruptly. You will need to find out where all of them came from!”

“Huh?”

After hearing that, Zhu Xiangyu paused for a second and became quiet. Zhu Bo knew that his son was pondering about it so he didn’t interrupt him.

After a while, Zhu Xiangyu looked up and said, “Dad, you are right. All of the Cheng’s possessions appeared about 6 months ago. Cheng Biyuan and his family have settled down in Willow for three whole years. They have always been a normal family. If it wasn’t for the mystical animals, nobody would ever notice such a small village.”

“….” Zhu Bo nodded and didn’t say anything!

Zhu Xiangyu continued to ponder as he talked, “Rumored had it that Cheng Biyuan sustained serious injuries and couldn’t even get out of bed six months ago. That’s when the mystical well appeared behind his house. Then it was the appearances of the ranch and the pond and all the other mystical animals. Everything came by so suddenly. These obviously didn’t belong to the Cheng’s originally!”

“You are exactly right, Xiang’er. Good analysis. According to Innkeeper Zhu and Deacon Bai’s investigation, all their possessions seemed to have appeared out of the blue, as though they were gifted to them. Isn’t that odd?”

“That is very odd, indeed!”

Both the father and son were dumbfounded. They couldn’t figure out where all the Cheng’s possessions came from, each item more impressive than the last!

“Since it is so odd, we must figure out what is going on!” Zhu Bo gave his own son a look and smiled lightly, “You should be able to handle this, right?”

“Well, that’s hard to say!” Zhu Xiangyu didn’t pound his chest and make any big promises, but the twinkles in his eyes looked as though he was taking some sort of an oath.

Zhu Bo gave a quick knock on the top of the table and reminded his son, “Maybe you will find the answer when you make the delivery to the Cheng’s!”

“Oh, okay, I will give it a try!”

After the father and son had came to a conclusion, Zhu Bo told his son the list of items that Cheng Xiao Xiao had asked for. Upon hearing that, Zhu Xiangyu was even more curious than before. He slammed his palm on the table and decided to head toward the city of Daling as soon as humanly possible.
