“HO HO, we will see!” Cheng Biyuan was happy with this guye so far. He also didn’t want to see any misfortune befall upon him or his daughter; after all, their relationship had been made quite public by now.

  “Yes, you are right. Luckily, he will be here for a bit. It will allow us time to get to know him better!” Zhou Jinjiang finished his thought for him.

  “Yes, we will watch him like a hawk!” nodded Cheng Biyuan before he changed the subject. “Any incidents when the people were leaving today?”


  “No, all these cultivators were well aware that Qing’an Province is your territory. Nobody dare to try anything. They all left uneventfully.”


  “That’s good to hear.” Cheng Biyuan felt less worried now.

  “You worry too much, my lord. As their cultivation level, they have a pretty good idea of who they can afford to offend and who they can’t!” smiled Zhou Jinjiang before he continued, “What I worry the most right now is the Emperor City Cheng’s. Even though you have booted out Ninth Elder, I don’t think they will give up so easily!”


  “Hmm!” Cheng Biyuan’s face darkened. He looked down a bit and his face bore a hint of sarcasm, “They just want my possessions but they don’t dare to straight up rob me. I am certain they will try ways to hopefully get us to willingly hand over what we have; then they can reap the profit righteously!”


  “Yes, even though we are all aware of that, we should still be vigilant about that!”


  Even Zhou Jinjiang didn’t know what else they could do about the Emperor City Cheng’s. Thinking about the other family, he couldn’t help but looked up at the one who was not looking so good, “What about the Gu’s of Yin City? Should we be watchful of them as well? I worry that they’d try to retaliate for what had happened. Not that we won’t be able to take care of them, but if we can keep things under control in the shortest time possible, that will be ideal.”


  “Yeah, I will let you handle that one. They have already gone down that path so we don’t need to play nice with them anymore. It never pays to be the nice guy. He still owes me two lives that he never repaid; I really don’t need to be nice any more. When push comes to shove, I will just take those lives back!”


  Cheng Biyuan’s voice was cold but Zhou Jinjiang could sense the anger within it. With a severe look, he nodded.

  “My lord, I think the old dean and the lot were seeking answers from Old Man Ying on how to break the curse!”


  As a cultivator, they were all aware of this issue. Naturally, everyone was curious about it; it was just that nobody had attempted to get to the bottom of it all.

  Now that the old dean had discovered what had happened, they would, of course, try to get to the bottom of it. After all, breaking through apex martial emperor was the wish of everyone. Nobody would want to let it slip pass them.

  “I am not sure even Old Man Ying has an answer for that!” Cheng Biyuan’s eyes sparkled. They all knew that the one that really helped Old Man Ying break the curse was actually Cheng Xiao Xiao!

  Talking about Cheng Xiao Xiao, Zhou Jinjiang’s eyes brightened. He wonder when he would be able to get the answers that he was looking for!

  “What’s the matter?” Cheng Biyuan noticed the change in Zhou Jinjiang!
