ch 347 – The Event of the Statue; Saving Someone (4)
Mo Xuanzun raised both of his hands and swore that there would never be a next time, unless she allowed him into her room. His second statement made her kicked him again.
The drama between the two was finally over after that. The Cheng’s were quite pleased with the performance; after all, it was quite entertaining.
“Miss, Master asked you to go see him in the study!” announced her father’s houseboy to her!
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded and rushed over to her father’s study right away.
She ran into Mo Xuanzun on her way so the both of them went to the study together.
When they arrived, her father wasn’t the only one in the study. There were also Manager Zhou and Elder Ying.
“Dad, Uncle Zhou, Old Man Ying!”
“Father-in-law, Uncle Zhou, Old Man Ying!”
The two greeted everyone in the room one after another. Old Man Ying stood up and greeted them back with cupped hands and a smile, “Miss, guye.”
“Oh, I see that Xiao Xiao and guye came together!” Even Zhou Jinjiang added with a smile on his face.
After the last few days, Cheng Xiao Xiao had stopped complaining about how others refer to the certain someone. It wasn’t like she could stop them anyway, so she just let it be.
Cheng Biyuan nodded at them and said, “Have a seat!”
The two of them sat down and Cheng Xiao Xiao asked directly, “Dad, did something happen?”
“Matter of fact, YES!” Cheng Biyuan looked very angry, “Eleventh Elder and his family were pursued and killed by the Emperor City Cheng’s!”
“Eleventh Elder?”
Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t understand why her father reacted the way that he did. It didn’t seem like it was any of their concerns.
Looking at his daughter’s dubious look, Cheng Biyuan recalled that his daughter had lost her memories from before. Suppressing his anger, he started recounting events about Eleventh Elder.
After her father’s recounting, Cheng Xiao Xiao understood now that Eleventh Elder was a decent person. At least he was nice to her family. Eleventh Elder had helped her father through a lot of hardship after his cultivation was ruined; otherwise, her parents’ days at the Cheng’s would have been even worse.
“Aiya, father-in-law, your son-in-law recalled now that I had inadvertently ran into the Cheng’s Eleventh Elder about a month ago when I was looking for Xiao Xiao around Mocheng Province. At the time they were followed by some guy by the name of Cheng Xing and his group of martial spiritualists!”
“Young man Mo, can you give us more details on that?” Cheng Biyuan had heard of this Cheng Xing. He knew that he was, indeed, a member of the Cheng’s. What he didn’t know was that he was the leader of the group that was pursuing Eleventh Elder.
Mo Xuanzun recounted the entire event of how he saved all the people as well as the accusatory inquiries from Eleventh Elder. Instantly, Cheng Biyuan was exuding a killer’s intent; one could tell that he was furious.
“I apologize, father-in-law. I had completely forgotten about the event; I should have let you know sooner!”
At that moment in time, Mo Xuanzun looked like an embarrassed kid, apologizing to his elders for something he had done wrong. The others were baffled by his reaction.
Even Cheng Biyuan, who was so angry that he wanted to kill someone if he could, almost laughed out loud from Mo Xuanzun’s silly look. Who would have thought that the genius mathematician, respected by all, was just a big kid in person?
Cheng Xiao Xiao, among all, was finding this very refreshing. She had never seen him like that before. She couldn’t help but to reach out and pinched him on his cheek like he was but a cute little kid.
After letting her pinched him a few times, Mo Xuanzun blinked and pulled down her hand, “Xiao Xiao, why are you pinching me?”
“Cough cough cough…”
The three seniors were the one who felt awkward from the exchange. One by one they turned their head and looked away, pretending that they hadn’t seen anything. After she recovered from the zone, Cheng Xiao Xiao stared at the culprit and her cheeks an attractive pinkish color.
