ch 446 - The Elders Were Happy; Assignment 6 (2/2)

“It’s them! It’s Genius Numerologist of Temple of Divine Plans and Maiden Cheng of the Cheng’s!”

“No wonder they were referred to as the perfect couple. But why are they here?”

“Did something happen inside the city limit?”

“Wow, they were, indeed, from Sacred Land Zhongyuan. This car alone was priceless!”

“……..”

Among the sounds of all sorts of discussions, they have already entered into the inn and the carriage was taken away by one of the Cheng’s guards.

This inn, too, was the property of Green Mountain Manor. Even though none of those who worked there had met Cheng Xiao Xiao in the past, that didn’t stop them from knowing who she was.

Guided by the enthusiastic innkeeper, the group were led into the small courtyard that they had reserved.

“Elder, how’s it going in the city?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao after she had taken a seat.

Elder smiled slightly and said, “Not too bad. We needed more manpower, which was why I reached out to the housemaster and see how he wanted this handled.”

“If that’s the case, let’s spread the news today that the Count’s resident is looking for guards!” That was the purpose of her trip so Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t want to waste anymore time and just cut to the chase.

“Miss, the population in the city might be high, but suitable individuals are still hard to find!”

Elder was a bit hesitant, “If we are to hire more help, preferably they’d be at least martial masters. Of course, if they have good potentials, we will consider martial scholars as well.”

“Sounds good, Elder. You are better at deciding that, we will follow you lead on setting the standards. As for their loyalty, you leave that up to me. I will make sure they will remain loyal to the Cheng’s!”

Seeing how confident she was, Elder didn’t know what to say. Finally, he just nodded.

Suddenly, Mo Xuanzun chimed in, “Xiao Xiao, what do you have in mind about the method of recruiting?”

“Oh, you have someone in mind?” Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at him, curious.

“I don’t know if it’s a great idea, but if we wanted to recruit, we might as well draw more attention by setting up an arena for open challenge.”

“An arena?”
