ch 53.2 - Big News (2/2)

The news spread like wild fire through then entire Dafeng. Still some believed the news to be true and others were skeptical of it.

Regardless, a mythical spring would be priceless. Most people sent out helpers to seekout this mythical spring in Ching’an Province and ascertain the truth.

All of a sudden, the path to Ching’an was filled with people from all walks of life, all going after this mythical spring.

Even the masters and elders of Cheng’s residing in the Emperor’s City reacted the same way as everybody else upon hearing the news – feeling suspicious and believing it at the same time. After all, the rumor must have started from something.

A man in this thirties looked very surprised when he heard this news. He remembered clearly that his older brother, who was banished from the family, settled down in Willow Village in Qing’an Province.

As far as he was concerned, Willow Village was a small village. He had never heard of any mythical spring before. He was certain this news was made up by someone.

Listening to the family discussion, he watched on with a sneer and an anticipation of calamity!

Perhaps others didn’t noticed his look, but one of the elders noticed and frowned.

After the meeting, he called the man into his study. Settling down on his chair, he asked, “Cheng Bihua, you know about this?”

“Dad, know about what?” asked Cheng Bihua, confused.
