Chapter 523 – Group Breakthrough; Heading to Capital City (4)
“I understand, Ancient Forefather. I won’t let any harm goes her way. Please be reassured about that, Ancient Forefather.”
“If I wasn’t so old already, I’d go with you. Your master and shi mu had already returned to Temple of Divine Plans; otherwise, we’d have them accompany you.”
“Ancient Forefather….”
Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at him appreciatively, “Don’t worry, Ancient Forefather, we will take good care of ourselves and won’t let any harm come our way. I think it’d be better if we go alone instead of always being pampered by the elders. How would we be able to grow like that? We must learn to take care of ourselves and grow stronger in the process. I don’t think that will put us in harm’s way.”
“Nonsense. Your lives are the most important thing. What’s that nonsense about being pampered? It’s a good thing when there are elders there to watch over you. Of course that’s a good thing. Don’t be careless. You can’t always anticipate what they will do. You just might put yourself in grave danger without knowing. Worse case scenario, you wouldn’t even know what hit you when you die. “
“Ancient Forefather, don’t forget that I have a dimension. I trust that it wouldn’t be easy for those who wanted me dead. Worse case scenario, I will collect them all and make them my slaves.”
Cheng Xiao Xiao could now confidently say that she would be able to collect anyone into her dimension and rendered them helpless.
“That might be true. But it can’t hurt to be careful!”
Ancient Forefather gave her a profound look and said again, “It’s always better safe than sorry. Sometimes the unexpected can happen to the most skillful one of us!”
“Yes, Ancient Forefather! Xiao Xiao will keep that in mind,” replied Cheng Xiao Xiao solemnly.
“Good!” Ancient Forefather nodded and carried on, “Don’t worry about things back home. We have tactical arrangements here. And, even without them, I will be able to keep everyone safe here.”
“Thank you, Ancient Forefather!”
If it wasn’t for Ancient Forefather, Cheng Xiao Xiao wouldn’t even dare bring Old Man Ying with her. After all, this was her home base. If she left it unprotected, she’d regret deeply should any misfortune took place here.
She chatted with the Ancient Forefather some more and even stayed during lunch time and ate with him.
She was there until Mrs. Cheng suddenly noticed that she had no idea where her eldest daughter and her son-in-law had gone. She was going to go look for them before her husband hinted for her to not do that. As dubious as she was, she stopped looking for them.
Old Mrs. Luo seemed to have been distracted by her official daughter-in-law and didn’t even notice that her granddaughter was missing.
Madam Gong, on the other hand, noticed that she was gone. She felt that was a bit odd. Once she found out that they were over keeping the Ancient Forefather company, she thought it’d only make sense that they two of them would spend more time with the Ancient Forefather with Mo Yuze and his wife gone.
After she had arranged for her mother’s guest quarter and now that there were Gong Zixuan and Luo JunHao keeping Old Mrs. Luo company, Mrs. Cheng was able to return to her own quarters. She immediately went to look for her husband.
“Ye, what is going on with Xiao Xiao?”
Cheng Biyuan put down the document that he was reading and looked at his questioning wife. He couldn’t help but sighed in resign and said softly, “They are leaving tomorrow to Capital City to get my mother. You need to understand that she has plenty to attend to right now.”
“She might be busy, but doesn’t she at least have the time to have a meal with her grandmother?”
Mrs. found that somewhat unbelievable. She sensed that something else was going on. Looking intensely at her husband, she asked, “Ye, are you hiding something from me?”
“Not really. Xiao Xiao is busy; I think it’s best you just let her be. She is your daughter; you know how she is.”
“Of course I do. It’s just that…”
“Okay, stop worrying so much. Just listen to me and stop worrying about what Xiao Xiao is busy with!”
