ch 293 - Mandatory Fees; The Cheng's Were Strong (6)

Afterall, he was an elder of a prominent family in Yin; every time that the name Cheng Biyuan was brought up, he was always teased as his sworn brother. Perhaps at the beginning he’d still fight to defend Cheng Biyuan, as times went on and these incidents took place more and more, he started growing disgruntled toward this sworn brother of his.

And that was the main reason he had been ignoring his once greater-than-life-itself sworn brother. How should he feel about that now?

As Gu Gaoyi was deep in the thoughts about the past, for a moment there he had even forgotten his main purpose there today was to cancel the betrothal of his son. His thoughts were interrupted by a loud noise.

“Housemaster Cheng, I have had the opportunity to met Maiden Cheng once. I wonder if I may speak to her again?”

Elder Lin, as the leader of the Alliance, was the first to speak.

Under the look of everybody, Cheng Biyuan was a bit surprised. The one that they wanted to meet the most was him, the housemaster, but his daughter Cheng Xiao Xiao, who has the title of a beast tamer.

“Unfortunately, everyone, my daughter had took off this morning. She only left a message that she will be back shortly. I honestly do not know where she headed!” replied Cheng Biyuan calmly and nonchalantly.

“Took off? How is that possible?” said the elder of Bagua Sect in disbelief.

The deacon elder of the Meng’s of City of Huang also refused to believe it, “Housemaster Cheng, perhaps Maiden Cheng was avoiding us intentionally?”

Naturally, they didn’t believe Cheng Biyuan’s words. Zhu Xiangyu was probably the only one who believed him. He knew all along that Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t think this auction was a big deal; nor did she care about meeting any strangers.

Knowing her carefree personality, it was entirely possible that she just wanted to take a quick trip today. As for her being here to welcome these people, it’d be an easier task to make the sun rise from the west instead.

“I believe it!” said Zhu Xiangyu nonchalantly.
