Chapter 388 – Betrothal; Price to Pay (3)
Mo Xuanzun was both surprised and happy. It was the first time he received a ring like this, and it was so meaningful. Filling with joy, he immediately picked up the other smaller ring and put it on Cheng Xiao Xiao.
Looking deeply into her eyes, he said in the most solemn tone, “Xiao Xiao, we will always be together for the rest of our lives!”
“Yes, we will!” Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
“Ceremony is complete~~” Announced Clan Master Qin.
“Wonderful!”
“What a cute little couple!”
“HAHAHAHAHA….”
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two of them became officially engaged!
The news of the betrothal spread immediately. Quickly, the Cheng’s arranged for banquet in order to celebrate this festivity.
The Cheng’s put aside all other matters and focused on the celebration for the next few days. Bright smiles could be seen on everybody. On the other hand, after spending a few days together, Gong Zixuan and Cheng Xiao Xiao had become close friends.
Rong Jingshi was particularly fond of this witty, courteous, and funny daughter-in-law. She sat around with her and told her all sorts of funny stories about Mo Xuanzun when he was a child. Laughter from Cheng Xiao Xiao could be heard all the time.
Mo Xuanzun was a tool alright, there were so many funny stories from his childhood.
Tool or no tool, Cheng Xiao Xiao was still pretty fond of this simple and smart tool.
The news of the betrothal between Cheng Xiao Xiao and Mo Xuanzun quickly spread throughout the entire Dafeng, then the entire continent. Everybody was aware of this news.
Words had it that the clan master of Clan of Magical Swords and valley master of Alchemy Valley were there in person to host and witness the betrothal. Their reputations alone were enough to shock everyone!
All of a sudden, the Cheng’s name became well known to everyone. And, at the same time, words that Willow Village would official change its name to Sacred Land Zhongyuan also got out. Furthermore, this new name was blessed and approved by both clan master of Clan of Magical Sword and valley master of Alchemist Valley.
Once the news got out, the world now understood that another new power had formed. As to the future of this new power, it’s up to everyone to apply their imagination and speculation. All sorts of rumors got crazier and crazier, but nobody dared to say anything too negative toward Sacred Land Zhongyuan.
The Cheng’s didn’t care much about all the rumors outside; after ten days to two weeks, Cheng Xiao Xiao started to feel the need to avoid the two old monsters.
They started trying to stop her and ask her about what they wanted to know the most. They had already full investigated everyone and everything about the Cheng’s.
They were fairly certain that Cheng Xiao Xiao has some sort of secret tools; as to what it is, they had no idea, so the draw to them was all the greater.
The two didn’t forget that that could also try their luck with Mo Xuanzun. Certainly, Mo Xuanzun was a nice and obedient junior in front of them, except when it came to the secret about Cheng Xiao Xiao, then he wouldn’t share one extra word. Nobody was able to get any information from him.
Mo Xuanzun was quite troubled by that as well. He couldn’t or wouldn’t share anything, under the pressing questionings of his elders, he had no choice but to keep his ground and not say a word.
Cheng Xiao Xiao might be able to be vague or look for excuses to avoid the two old monsters and ignore their questions, but when it come to Rong Jingshi, her official mother-in-law, she couldn’t use the same tricks.
“Xiao Xiao, you really can’t tell us?” Rong Jingshi really wanted to find out as well. After all, the fact that Cheng Xiao Xiao could somehow break the spell of cultivation limitation was too shocking of a news to anyone.
At the same time, as an elder herself, she understood full well why all the other old monsters that were stuck at the apex martial emperor level wanted so badly to breakthrough to martial monarch. This was everybody’s lives that they were talking about. Who wouldn’t care about it? Who wouldn’t worry about it?
