ch 334.2 - The Hidden Truth; Bad Guye (1)

[This is also ch 334 because I messed up the numbering of my chapters earlier on. It is not a repost and it's the start of a new raw chapter.]

“Oh, not much. I just feel that this Xiao Xiao lad is quite peculiar!” smiled Zhou Jinjiang. He did not share his true feelings.

Cheng Biyuan knew that his daughter possessed the dimension, which would, in turn, make her seem peculiar to those who didn’t know the truth. He smiled too and said, “Xiao Xiao has her encounters. I am happy as long as she’s safe.”

Zhou Jinjiang nodded as though he was still pondering about something.

“My Lord, with regards to building the moat around Qing’an Province, I feel it’s best if we expand around the original official state. That way it won’t cost us as much in terms of resources and manpower.”

“About this….”

Thinking about it for a little bit, Cheng Biyuan said slowly, “We won’t be moving to anywhere else and we have already build our residence here. I think as far as the moat is concerned, there’s no need to be too formal. Afterall, the residences of Qing’an Province aren’t particularly well off. Let’s put this matter on hold for the time being.”

“We can’t just not do it!” Zhou Jinjiang smiled bitterly, “You were made Count Zhongyuan by the emperor directly. We can’t deny your new status and a moat must be built, a moat that belongs to none other than Count Zhongyuan. In addition, this is not the right location for a nobleman. This location is only good as the headquarter of a sect.”

He paused at this point and looked at Cheng Biyuan. Smiling, he said, “You aren’t short on money. C’mon, Lord, nobody will believe that!”

“HO HO HO!” laughed Cheng Biyuan. “You are right, others don’t think that we will need money. But we need money for everything. Not that mention that Xiao Xiao needs her mystical stone, when it comes to this, we can’t touch her resources!”

“That is true!”

Zhou Jinjiang had no idea why Cheng Xiao Xiao need such a large quantity of mystical stones. But it was sufficient as long as she could continue to provide what seemed to be an endless supplies of mystical animals and mystical rice etc, etc.

While the two of them were planning the future direction of the Cheng’s in the study, Cheng Xiao Xiao, who was finally able to lose her stalker, summoned little Yuteng back from her play time.
