ch 273 - Everybodys On Their Moves; Lots of Suspicious Activities 6 (2/2)
A group of men and women of various ages appeared in Cheng Xiao Xiao’s courtyard. They all appeared very respectful from their looks; as for their true feelings internally, that’s everybody’s guess.
If she wasn’t so worried that there would be spies among them, she wouldn’t indiscriminately toss everybody into the dimension. Unfortunately, the Cheng’s were just starting out, they couldn’t afford to take the risk and lose everything that they have built from the groun up.
It only took half a day’s time. By the time everybody came back out from the dimension, Cheng Xiao Xiao could tell from the way they looked at her that her effort was not wasted.
When she returned them back to Zhou Jinjiang to put them to work, the manager saw nothing but loyalty in these individual’s eyes. He was completely shocked.
He had an inkling that her secret was far more than just being a master beast tamer, it was entirely possible that …..
She was also a mythical contract binder.
Mythical contract binder was definitely a whole different league!
Rumors had it that a mythical contract binder can bind any kind of lifeform. Regardless of type, as long a it has a mind, and intelligence, and as long as the mythical contract binder has the will to do so, they will be able to control these lifeforms regardless of their will.
To put it simply, a mythical contract binder can bind anyone (including spirits) and make them their servant and their slaves.
This idea had never occurred to Zhou Jinjiang before, but after Cheng Xiao Xiao had shown this over and over again; he started to suspect that possibility.
Qing Zhu, Lu Zhu, and Cheng Chi and the lot had only been with her for a few days before they were undoubtedly loyal to her. If that was gratefulness, perhaps that was one explanation.
The most suspicious of all it was that arrogant Ying Ziliang. He was the one who had no hesitation about killing the entire Cheng’s. But not only did he disappear mysteriously, when he resurfaced, he was also incredibly loyal to Cheng Xiao Xiao right away. With the exception of her, even when it came to the housemaster Cheng Biyuan, he was at most respectful to him. Nowhere was he closed to loyal to him.
And now, it has been merely half a day, and these people immediately have the same loyal look toward this mistress whom they had just met; how could Zhou Jinjiang not get suspcious?
