Chapter 491 - An Overlooked Issue; Everybody Was Troubled 2
At this moment in time, Cheng Xiao Xiao was quite worried. 鈥淲e have already spread the words and couldn鈥檛 change the fact that we are recruiting for disciples. If we are sufficiently prepared for this, there just might be some embarrassing moments waiting to happen.鈥?
鈥淒on鈥檛 worry, Young Mistress. Let me give it some thought. I am sure we will come up with a solution!鈥?
鈥淥kay. You give it some thoughts first!鈥?
For now, Cheng Xiao Xiao had to rely on Little Yuteng to come up with a solution; otherwise, they just might have to ask others for help.
Ask others for help!
She really didn鈥檛 want to have to resort to that. After all, what belonged to the others would always belong to the others. What happened when the disciples, after joining Sacred Land Zhongyuan, have to learn skills from another sect? And what kind of rumor would that cuase?
What would others say about Sacred Land Zhongyuan when they learned about this?
This was arguably the most critical problem that they were facing and needed immediate resolution. Plus, she has very limited time before she鈥檇 need to figure out a solution!
鈥淴iao Xiao, what鈥檚 the matter?鈥?Mrs. Cheng couldn鈥檛 help but asked when she noticed that her daughter was being very quiet.
Xiao Xiao looked up at her, smiled and said, 鈥淢om, nothing much. I am going to look for dad. There鈥檚 something that I wanted to discuss with him about. I鈥檒l talk to you later!鈥?
鈥淎lright. Off you go then!鈥?
Mrs. Cheng knew that her ability was very limited. Most of the matters at home were taken care of by her husband and her oldest daughter. Right now, she needed to make herself better; at least as good as other wives.
Cheng Xiao Xiao released her mind鈥檚 eyes and immediately found out where her father was.
Having something that she urgently wanted to discuss, Cheng Xiao Xiao鈥檚 pace hastened and she quickly arrived at her father鈥檚 study.
鈥淥h, Xiao Xiao, you are here!鈥?Cheng Biyuan, who was reading some official documents, looked up at her when he sensed her presence and just in time to see her walking into his study.
鈥淲hat happened? What is the matter?鈥?Seeing the serious look and frown on her, he couldn鈥檛 help but asked.
鈥淒ad...鈥?
Cheng Xiao Xiao walked up and sat down at the chair next to her father. Smiling bitterly, she said, 鈥淒ad, we are about to embarrass ourselves. The entire continent is about to witness us embarrassing ourselves.鈥?
鈥淲hy do you say that, Xiao Xiao?鈥?Cheng Biyuan was looking more and more serious. He knew that his daughter was not the type who鈥檇 say such a thing without reasons. There must be something that he had overlooked.
Cheng Xiao Xiao鈥檚 suspicion had been confirmed when she saw the look on her dad. She couldn鈥檛 help but smiled bitterly, 鈥淒ad, we are about to have disciples in three months. But, our family doesn鈥檛 have our own mantra, or unique skillsets. We can鈥檛 possibly have our disciples go farming.鈥?
鈥淥H!鈥?
Cheng Biyuan turned plan and leapt up from his seat. His face full of shock and panic.
Seeing her father like this for the first time, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn鈥檛 help but shake her head. She had finally realized that they were too far gone already. They had already backed themselves into a corner.
鈥淴iao Xiao, we....鈥?Cheng Biyuan, having the same bitter smile, sat back down and tightened his palms up into fists and said, 鈥淲e can鈥檛 let this happen, Xiao Xiao. We must figure something out. If we embarrass ourselves on this issue, we鈥檇 lose all our reputation and status that we have finally accumulated over this. And it鈥檇 be so much more difficult to try to rebuild them again in the future!鈥?
鈥淚 know!鈥?Cheng Xiao Xiao furrowed her brows deeply. This wasn鈥檛 simply a problem with reputation. If they failed to handle this issue properly, this would forever be a black smudge on the Sacred Land Zhongyuan鈥檚 name and people would always remember this.
鈥淴iao Xiao, should we summon all of our elders for a discussion?鈥?
鈥淣o, dad. Let鈥檚 not mention this to anyone yet. We will be the ones who鈥檇 figure out a solution to this, on way or another day. We couldn鈥檛 rely on others on this one,鈥?said Cheng Xiao Xiao decisively.
