Chapter 497 – An Overlooked Issue; Everybody Was Troubled (8)
After Cheng Xiao Xiao had came out of the dimension, she immediately noticed someone waiting for her. It was Mo Xuanzun. He was actually occupied doing something else!
“What’s the matter, Abacus?”
“Xiao Xiao, you are back!”
Mo Xuanzun walked up to her and, with a slight smile on his handsome face, pulled her over to have a seat with him. “You looked a little tired. Have you not rest at all?”
“I am fine.” Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t feeling to bad compared to Little Yuteng. Seeing the unusual happy look on the person in front of her, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but asked, “What’s the matter? Something good happened?”
“Xiao Xiao, you should be spanked…”
Mo Xuanzun collected his smile and gazed at her quietly, “Xiao Xiao. How come you never share anything with me? Are you still thinking of me as an outsider?”
“Huh? What prompted you to say that?” Cheng Xiao Xiao was baffled, not immediately connecting the dots of what he was talking about.
“You…” Mo Xuanzun was a little bit annoyed and couldn’t help but threw down a, “It looked like you didn’t really care about me as much as I have thought. You would rather keep everything to yourself than sharing them with me!”
“You… you’ve found out?”
By now, even if Cheng Xiao Xiao was silly, she wouldn’t have figured out what he was talking about. Looking at the one who acted like a little kid stomping his feet, she chuckled, “Okay, I was wrong. Alright?”
“……” Mo Xuanzun, with his eyes half closed, was happy to hear that. But he also decided that he couldn’t just forgive her like that; otherwise, she’d only continue to hide things from him.
Seeing the way he was acting, Cheng Xiao Xiao felt both amused and speechless, “Don’t be so annoyed lah. I didn’t mean to hide it from you on purpose. I was very focused on Little Yuteng finding a solution to it and was rushing. That’s the only reason I didn’t mention it to you.
“Don’t be angry? You know it now, don’t you?”
Cheng Xiao Xiao tugged on his elbow and said in a coquettish voice, “I am still worried about finding a solution and you want to be upset at me? I’ve already promised that I won’t do it again. What else do you want from me?”
“Alright. I will forgive you but that’s only because this was your first infraction. If you dare do it again next time….”
“I won’t. I promise!” Cheng Xiao Xiao would wave a white flag to surrender if she could.
“That’s better!”
Hearing her promise, Mo Xuanzun finally felt better about the whole thing. Holding her hand in his, he said in the most serious tone, “Xiao Xiao, you don’t have to worry too much. Ancient Forefather had already sent the words to have the dozens of cultivation doctrines that Temple of Divine Plans had collected sent over here. They will be sufficient to take care of your first batch of disciples. We will figure something else in due time. Long story short, we will not let Sacred Land Zhongyuan’s reputation plummet.”
“But those cultivation doctrines belonged to Temple of Divine Plans. Isn’t that kind of…. “
“Xiao Xiao, I know what you want to say. But don’t worry. These were all gifts from other. They were given to Temple of Divine Plans was payment to have their fortunes read. They were acquired legitimately and there wouldn’t be any unintended hassles,” explained Mo Xuanzun.
“Besides, these cultivation doctrines are just sitting there. Nobody had ever tried to cultivate any of them. It wasn’t that we frowned upon them; it was just that they weren’t suitable for those within Temple of Divine Plans. We have our own unique skill sets so we wouldn’t need to cultivate these as well. They were just sitting around in Temple of Divine Plans anyway.”
“Oh, I see!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao finally understood the situations surrounding the cultivation doctrines after Mo Xuanzun’s explanation. Her lips curved and she smiled and said, “Well, since they are from Ancient Forefather, we shouldn’t decline his kindness. I will take everything that was offered to us!”
“Yes, you should!”
“Mm…”
