“Old man, I think you have too much free time as of late. I think I need to assign you more work!” Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but stare at this ungrateful old man.
“Sure, no problem. I will take care of any requests from my Miss. But, hehehe. You must give me rewards afterward…”
“Don’t even think about it. There’s no reward this time.”
“Oh, don’t be like that, Miss. Life without rewards is so awful!”
The Elder shook his head amidst Old Man Ying’s ruckus as though he couldn’t agree with Old Man Ying’s shameless act.
The very next moment, the man who was about to approach to keep pestering for reward was picked up and thrown out by someone. The number 1 most skillful man of the Cheng’s was picked up and tossed out like a ball.
The Elder was dumbfounded.
Mo Xuanzun, who was the one who threw him out, said, “He was too noisy.”
“Tsk…” Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but chuckled.
“Guye, how could you…”
Coming from the outside was Old Man Ying’s complaint about his unjust treatment, but he knew better than to come inside to ask for more. After all, they were both martial kings, and most likely Mo Xuanzun was a tad higher than him in his cultivation. That being said, he wouldn’t dare to fight the guye either.
They have already spent four nights in the inn. It was exactly as Old Man Ying had said, as much as they were traveling in style, it was never the same as home. Now that they had taken care of what they have set out to take care of, the natural next step was, of course, to head home!
With the exception of the guards that were going to stay behind, Cheng Xiao Xiao gave the rest of the guards that she was going to bring back with her half a day off. Anything they needed to take care of before their departure, they could use this break to have them taken care of.
Anyone cultivators who were not native to Qing’an had nothing that needed taken care of. The few that were local, Cheng Xiao Xiao had arranged for them to say, all the more they had nothing to take care of.
She released the last of the recruits out from the dimension in the afternoon and, after everybody had lunch together and a short break, they started on their return trip.
The five elders, all with their own rides, marched in the front. The sacred beast carriage in the middle, and the remaining 200 guards followed behind them. The scale of the procession alerted the tens of thousands of residents with the city limit.
After their departure, those that were left behind had even more topics about Count Zhongyuan to talk about. They talked about the same topics over and over again, as though they could never talk enough about them.
After there were finally gone, the discussion finally gradually started to die down.
The procession returned all the way to Sacred Land Zhongyuan and the newly joined elders and guards were all mesmerized by the newly remodeled village.
White cranes flying under the blue sky; a layer of fog in between heaven and earth; and one after another elegant buildings scattered amidst the fog. The entire scene looked very heavenly from afar with indescribable beauty.
What an amazing place!
The crowd couldn’t help but have a look of pleasant surprise on their faces!
Maiden Chen and guye were back!
Many were alerted with their appearance. Seeing that they had returned with some 200 more, none of the member of the Cheng’s along with the disciples were surprised. As though this was the outcome that they had expected all along.
Cheng Xiao Xiao handed over all the responsibilities of settling everyone to Manager Zhou. The five new elders were introduced and became the newly added forces to the Cheng’s.
Cheng Biyuan wasn’t the only one who was delighted about the newly added workforce but Zhou Jinjiang was also so happy that he couldn’t stop smiling. With the addition of 6 elders of martial king level and 300 more guards of martial spiritualist level, the power of the Cheng’s had gone up to a new level.
This was certainly great news.
