ch 67.1 – His Hope“Dad, why should I be worried? Do you really think they will get along with us amicably if we didn’t treat them the way we did? They will never come back to bother us again? You think that’s possible?”Is that possible?Cheng Biyuan remained silent. Of course he understood that these people would not give up. Or he should say that they will be back again, soon. And there will be more in terms of numbers and they will be more powerful!
Looking at her two siblings happily gathering up the loot, Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled, “Dad, I don’t mind if they show up more often. The pressure will help the brothers to grow stronger and faster.”
Cheng Biyuan looked up at his sons and said, “You are certainly right about that!”“Yeh, Xiao Xiao…”“Dad, big sister…”Mrs. Cheng and Lan Lan, who had been hiding inside the house came out. Mrs. Cheng looked at her husband, she wanted to say something but she didn’t.Cheng Xiao Xiao walked up to her, held her hand and smiled, “Mom, what’s the matter? We are okay!”“I know!” Mrs. Cheng nodded. Through the window, she had been watching the entire event as they unfolded.She looked at Cheng Biyuan with worry in her eyes, tenderly she asked, “Yeh, you alright?”“Yuqin, I am alright, don’t worry!” Cheng Biyuan smiled. Pointing at his sons, who were running towards home with armful of stuff, he said, “We’ve got pretty good loot. C’mon, let’s go home!”Little Lan Lan stretched out her arms and gave a big smile, like a spoiled child, she said, “Daddy, hug…”“Oka, hug!”Cheng Biyuan bent down and picked up his young daughter and the whole family returned to the courtyard. As to the ranch and vegetable garden that was now a mess, those were left for Yuteng to take care.After they have returned home, the villagers who were helping out have also returned. The morning had passed and it’s already time for lunch.Cheng Xiao Xiao followed Mrs. Cheng into the kitchen to help with the cooking. Cheng Biyuan stayed in the courtyard making the villager helpers comfortable.The men sat around and drank tea and chitchat. Liu Danhuang was quiet since the Cheng’s brothers were inside the house, he had nobody to chat with.“Brother Cheng, we have a question for you!” said Liu Sanzhen with an embarrassed look.Cheng Biyuan put down his tea cup, looking at the villagers that were humming and hawing, he smiled at them, “Sanzhen, Hanlin, what would you like to ask?”“Brother Cheng, we are curious who were those visitors today?” asked Liu Sanzhen eagerly.“Them?” Cheng Biyuan was a bit surprised, although he did figure that it was a matter of time before they ask about it.Seeing that Cheng Biyuan hasn’t responded right away, Liu Hanlin asked cautiously, “Brother Cheng, I seem to have heard something about School of Divine Condor. Were they visitors from School of Divine Condor?”The mentioning of School of Divine Condor dragged Liu Danhuang back from spacing out. His usually somewhat silly face beamed unusually, his eyes sparkled as he looked at Cheng Biyuan.Cheng Biyuan looked at their faces and nodded. If they have already heard, there’s no need for him to lie anymore.“For real, Uncle Cheng? Are you sending Zheng Yuan and Zheng Bin to School of Divine Condor?” asked Liu Danhuang, a little worked up.“Ugh?” Cheng Biyuan casted him a curious glance, judging by his excitement, he couldn’t help but to ask, “Danhuang, you want to attend School of Divine Condor?”Never mind Cheng Biyuan, even the villagers casted him odd looks. Finally Liu Hanlin reached out and patted him on his shoulder, “Good boy, never thought you have this kind of ambiton! Awesome, awesome. This is much better than us!” ch 67.2 – His HopeThe villagers were familiar with the School of Divine Condor establishment. It was the most prestigious college in Dafeng. Every graduates from there were famed. Being able to be accepted into School of Divine Condor was the dream of every youth.For them villagers, it was almost impossible to be accepted into School of Divine Condor, unless they were able to demonstrated unusual talent. Otherwise, it was but a pipe dream.Liu Danhuang blushed. Embarrassed, he said, “Uncle Cheng, if Zheng Yuan and Zheng Bin will be attending School of Divine Condor. May I please go with them as their assistant?”“Ugh….” Cheng Biyuan was speechless again. He saw the hopeful look fom the young boy in front of him. He had no heart to crush his dream but he had no choice but to speak the truth, “Danhuang, I understand. But, you are mistaken. Zheng Yuan and Zheng Bin will not be attending School of Diving Condor.”
From the eyes of a commoner, School of Divine Condor was an unreachable place. But Cheng Biyuan looked beyond that to the most prestigious place on the continent – One Sect, One Temple, One Palace, One Valley. That’s where he really wanted his children to attend.“Oh…”Danhuang was disappointed and the others shocked. They didn’t understand why he’d say that.Cheng Biyuan looked at the young man in front of him and didn’t want to disappoint him, so after a pause he said, “Danhuang, being ambitious is a good thing. It will, however, be very challenging to start learning martial art at your age. Most would not want to take that on, so….”“Uncle Cheng, I understand. I was being ridiculous!” As though all his spirit had been removed from his body, Liu Danhuang slummed in his seat listlessly.Looking at him like that, Cheng Biyuan wasn’t sure if he should be angry or find it funny. Scolding him smilingly, “What? You are giving up already? You so readily give up your ambition?”“Uncle Cheng…” asked Liu Danhuang dumbfounded.Cheng Biyuan shook his head helplessly, “I will be honest with you. Our family are cultivators. We can help you out if that’s what you desire. I can take you in as my disciple. Why don’t you cultivate with Zheng Yuan and Zheng Bin whenever you have free time going forward? How does that sound to you?”“Oh! That will be great, uncle Cheng! I’d love to!” Liu Danhuang was so happy he almost jumped up into the air. He nodded frantically in agreement.“You…” Cheng Biyuan busted out laughing and shook his head. He took another look at Liu Danhuang and frowned, “But…”“Uncle Cheng, what’s the problem?” Liu Danhuang was nervous all over again.“Your situation at home!” Looking at him, Cheng Biyuan said in a deep voice, “Cultivating takes a long time. If you want to be good at it, you must spend a lot of time on it. I’m afraid that will be difficult for you!”Liu Danhuang’s family is not very well off. No only did he help out his mother on some chores around the house, his father, Liu Dachun injured one of his legs while hunting a year ago. He was much help around the house. Liu Danhuang had pretty much taken over the responsibility as the master of the household. If he’s cultivating, then what about his family…?“Dad, it’s time to eat!”A clear voice emerged from the kitchen, Liu Danhaung looked up at the slim figure coming out with the kitchen carrying dishes in her hands. He balled his hands into fists and a look of determination from his eyes.If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know < report chapter > so we can fix it as soon as possible.
