"We understand!"
Cheng Biyuan nodded and innkeeper Zhu looked happy. Deacon Lin looked less happy while Deacon Bai waited quietly, he knew he had not finished what he was about to say.
As expected, Cheng Biyuan continued, "Gentlemen, to be honest, Deacon Ko from Ning's house visited us a few days ago and he has the same proposal. We're between two options right now."
"Diakon Ko from Ning's house?" Innkeeper Zhu was completely shocked.
The two deacons looked worried. They knew someone had found Cheng before them, but they didn't think it was someone from Ning's house.
"Yes, Deacon Ko from Ning's house!" Cheng Biyuan felt that they did not believe it completely, so he continued to explain, "My wife and daughter met Deacon Ko the first time they went to the market. He's the one who bought our stuff."
Although innkeeper Zhu had never heard of this before, he trusted Cheng Biyuan's words. After all, Ning's house preceded them to Cheng's residence, which would confirm that they had also noticed that the products of the Cheng family had spiritual properties.
Deacon Bi frowned and said to Cheng Biyuan, "Master Cheng, you should sell to the highest bidder. We will pay one by one for what Ning paid for you. We hope you will make the right decision!"
"We recently planned to sell some of our livestock products and animals, but we're not ready to part with them just yet!" Cheng Biyuan casually changed the subject instead of giving him a definite answer.
Deacon Bai looked at him intensely and said in a serious tone, "Master Cheng, your produce and farm animals are exactly what we need. We hope you will sell it to us, we promise you will be happy with the price. In addition, we would like to purchase further items that you will have in the future."
"I believe in your sincerity, Gentlemen," Cheng Biyuan looked at them without expressing her thoughts, "But, Ning left the same message. This puts me in a very difficult situation!"
"What do you mean?" Deacon Lin could not hold back anymore. A cold look was visible from his eyes and he coldly said, "You're just a Martial Master, you think you can take care of these items of yours? Do you know what an innocent, guilty jade meant?"*
[Means the person is innocent, but the possession of valuables makes the person guilty, meaning owning valuables will attract trouble.]
Deacon Bai turned pale and innkeeper Zhu was also surprised by his words. This is not the way to negotiate, this sounds more like bandit behavior!
"You're right, I'm just a Martial Master, if you want to take my things by force, please just go ahead!" Cheng Biyuan's smile turned cold. He said humbly, "Let's see if you can take my things by force!"
It's all over. Deacon Bai thought to himself. It was a wasted trip!
Innkeeper Zhu looked bitter, he wanted to say something, but he was not sure what he could say.
Cheng Xiao Xiao calmly observed as the entire scene unfolded in front of him. He looked at Deacon Lin directly and found him extremely arrogant. He was only a wage worker, but he of course acted as if he was a top class leader and looked down on everyone as if they were below him.
"Oh, don't you think I'm gonna do it?" Deacon Lin said coldly with a cruel smile.
Cheng Xiao Xiao was finally angry. He tried his best to suppress his anger and said indifferently, "You want to kill a chicken to get an egg? Is that what your master wants you to do?"
"You…"
Deacon Lin's appearance was as if it could make hell freeze. Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at him calmly and lightly said, "Don't treat others like they are your slaves. This is a business discussion and you should treat it that way. You won't get what you want if you use violence. Maybe we don't have the ability to take care of our own stuff, but I believe that there are others out there who are willing to help us look after them, don't you think?"
"Not to mention, who says we can't keep the goods ourselves? Will we sell our goods if we do not have the ability to take care of them? Don't you think we're aware of the value of our own goods?"
"Good, good, good!" Deacon Lin was furious but would not explode right at this moment.
Cheng Xiao Xiao was not affected by his deadly gaze, he sounded indifferent as usual, "Of course it's good, we hope you are great too!"
With that said, he turned away from her and looked directly at innkeeper Zhu, "Lord Owner of the inn, we're sorry. We will no longer do business with you. Hope your return trip is safe!"
"Miss Cheng, I …"
"We're sorry, good-bye!" Cheng Xiao Xiao cut him off, there was no need to continue the conversation.
Deacon Lin took out a hard hrm and stood up from the chair in an instant. Deacon Lin looked at him sharply before he turned around and left.
Last of them all, innkeeper Zhu walked over sighing.
This unpleasant exchange will certainly bring hidden dangers to them in the future. Madam Cheng was worried, she looked at the two in front of her and was unsure what to say.
Cheng Biyuan looked calm and no one could read what was on his mind. He sipped his tea calmly as if he had not been affected by the previous exchange.
Cheng Xiao Xiao said a few words to comfort his mother before going to the kitchen to prepare dinner with her.
After dinner that night, Cheng Xiao Xiao entered the dimension and told Yuteng to watch over their land vigilantly. He was expecting trouble that night.
Cheng Xiao Xiao did not forget the deadly gaze of Deacon Lin. He will act tonight, he will not retreat so easily.
After everyone fell asleep, Cheng Xiao Xiao walked out of the house. Under the moonlight, he walked towards his range. There were about 100 spiritual animals there. If they came, this would be their first target.
Yuteng put her branches around the farm. In addition to serving surveillance purposes, it can also attack intruders immediately. They're ready for intruders.
Bar-time!
It was between the hours of 9 – 11pm, and Cheng Xiao Xiao was leaning on the branch of the jade vine and resting his eyes, the two dogs were guarding the vegetable field.
'Young master, there are two people approaching!'
Yuteng's voice rang out next to his ear suddenly along with the warning from the two dogs. Cheng Xiao Xiao slowly opened his eyes and looked at the end of the road, he detected two black-clothed people approaching.
He did not need to look at their faces, he could tell from their silhouettes that they were Deacon Bai and Lin. He did not expect the two of them to be together. It seems they want to send a strong message.
He instructed the dogs to pretend that they were still sleeping and were unaware of the intruder. As he expected, they headed to the farm.
Hidden from sight, he smiled coldly while waiting for their arrival. He wanted to know if they would steal spiritual beasts or exterminate them!"
Both looked around cautiously. Deacon Lin whispered, "Go. Don't leave one!"
