ch 50.2 - Let THem Go (1/2)
As a matter of face, she did have an order for them. Standing ten steps away, Cheng Xiao Xiao said in a deep voice, “We have accumulated some mythical beasts for sale. We were going to take them to Lai Yue Inn anyway before you came and ruined everything. Now you go and get some rest. Bring taels and horse-drawn carriage tomorrow for the mythical beasts. We will trade this one time for now. We will see about future business tomorrow.”
“Yes, Miss Cheng. We will go and prepare that right away and be back first thing tomorrow morning!” Deacon Bai was surprised and delighted, he cupped his hands and thanked her.
“Now, get!”
“We shall take off now!” said the three humbly with their hands cupped. With the concealment of the bamboos, they disappeared into the bamboo forest in no time.
After they left, little Yuteng appeared. Cocking her head in a cute manner, she said, “Young Mistress1, why did you let them go and suggested to trade with them?”
“No choice. We have accumulated too much mythical beasts and food. Plus we are in need of cash. I have no other options!” explained Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile.
“I think we are letting them go too easily! I still wanted to teach them a lesson!”
“They are not the same as those from the Ning’s. Those from the Ning’s were like bandits, they were here to rob us. These were just here to warn us, and wanted to negotiate a better deal. What they have done was not a capital offense. No need to kill them.”
“Those from the Ning’s deserve to die!” Said Yuteng unhappily. Had she let her appeared, she would have just smashed them and fed them to the mythical beasts.
Speaking of the Ning’s, Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned. She haven’t seem them in a few days and that wasn’t normal.
Unless….
She had heard some about the School of Divine Condor. If words of what has been going on in her family had gotten out, then representative from Divine Condor would surely show up. There would be drama in the days to come.
“I wonder when they will be coming?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao lightly with a hint of a smile.
Little Yuteng blinked and, curiously, she asked, “Young mistress, who do you say are going to show up. Are you talking about the Ning’s?”
“I am sure they will be back and maybe with a few others!”
