ch 242 – An Unexpected Discovery; Chasing Away The Best (11)
Now that she stood up against Luo Yujie, that was a bit….
Thinking about this, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but looked over to where her father was. Cheng Biyuan, on the master seat, noticed her look winked at her.
Cough, cough, cough….
Cheng Xiao Xiao almost choked to death. She had never seen the playful side of her always serious father!
“Yuqin, what are you talking about? What are you saying? I just wanted the kids to spend more time together, what is wrong with that? Do you feel that now that the Cheng’s are better off than us, you can just abandon us? If that’s the case, I will tell mom when I get back. What is the meaning of this all? I only have our family’s interest in mind, what is wrong with that….”
Luo Yujie completely let out her true self – frivolous and full of exaggeration. Needless to say, using family ties as her leverage, knowing full well that was the most important thing for Luo Yuqin.
After her sister’s performance, Mrs. Cheng started to soften up her stance all over again. Seeing that, Cheng Xiao Xiao stood up and said, “Mom, dad, I feel a little dizzy. You guys keep chatting, I am going to take a nap back in my room!”
“Yes, you should go get some more rest, Xiao Xiao. You’ve only gotten 4-6 hours of sleep, of course you’d feel dizzy!” Normally speaking, cultivators could easy go a day or two without sleeping and not feel anything, but Cheng Biyuan played along.
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded and left the living room.
“Xiao Xiao, how could you??” Luo Yujie couldn’t believe what she was saying and started shouting behind Cheng Xiao Xiao.
At this point, Mrs. Cheng was totally annoyed and she scolded Luo Yujie lightly, “Yujie?jie, that’s enough. You want to go take a trip to town, you should start heading out before it gets any later. No need to cause a scene here!”
“You…”
Cheng Xiao Xiao, who had just walked out of the living room, heard the conversation behind her and couldn’t help but smiled. She wonder what her father had told her mother last night that had caused her to stood up and tell off the Tian’s!
Even though what had happened at the Cheng’s the night before only took place half a day ago, yet the ones that need to know had all found out about the incident already and they were all stunned.
“Is this true?” asked Zhu Xiangyu incredulously at the Lai Yue Inn.
With a severe look, Deacon Bai replied, “A hundred percent true. Our spy saw it with his own eyes that the martial emperor simply disappeared into thin air!”
The news that there was a martial emperor wasn’t what had stunned Zhu Xiangyu; what he found even more shocking was how did Cheng Xiao Xiao made the martial emperor disappeared into thin air!
Naturally Zhu Xiangyu understood full well how powerful a martial emperor was. He had a few of them on his payroll at his Green Mountain Manor, but that wasn’t the point. The most important point was the saying that: Everybody below a martial emperor are nothing but ants.
A simply line for a simple concept – the difference between a martial emperor and a martial king. It wasn’t just a small hump between the two, it’s like night and day. It was nothing but a piece of cake for a martial emperor to kill a martial king, even though they were only one level apart.
The different between a martial king and a martial spiritualist was also one level, but it was much harder for a martial king to kill a martial spiritualist. In fact, it was even possible for a martial spiritualist to kill a martial king.
As far as Zhu Xiangyu was aware, Cheng Xiao Xiao had just broken through to the level of martial master. Somehow she was able to face the life and death circumstances, and even caused the martial emperor to disappear. This was just too bizarre and he could not explain it with any of his current knowledge.
