Chapter 498 – An Overlooked Issue; Everybody Was Troubled (9)
With the dozens of cultivation doctrine from Temple of Divine Plans, Cheng Xiao Xiao finally started to relax some. The problem that she was facing now has a solution.
“Oh, right. Shi mu and Aunty Gong broke through to martial monarch last night, right?” Cheng Xiao Xiao suddenly remember something else and asked the person next to her.
“Yes, both of them did.”
Mo Xuanzun couldn’t help but let out a slight sigh and said, “Xiao Xiao, you weren’t out here and didn’t see how the other old folks looked. The way they looked were so….
“Well, sad.”
“Really? Did every one cry?” Cheng Xiao Xiao speculated.
“More of less. All of them teared up.”
“Tsk. Looks like I missed a good show. Let’s go. Let’s see if any one of them is still crying.”
“Hohoho,” chuckled Mo Xuanzun as he stood up and followed her out.
The two of them walked out of Yuteng Pavillion, walked out of the main quarter, and headed toward Old Man Ying’s guest quarter.
Their appearance immediately brought all the old folks up on their feet. In particular the few old monsters, they were looking at Cheng Xiao Xiao so intently that she thought she’d be cooked.
“Miss, guye,” greeted Old Man Ying with a cheerful smile.
All the other people greeted the two of them one by one. At this moment in time, they couldn’t help but started feeling respectful for Cheng Xiao Xiao; nobody thought of her as someone from the younger generation.
Cheng Xiao Xiao sat down and looked across everyone. She smiled gently and said, “I hope you all feel better now?”
“Yes, Miss Xiao Xiao, just let us know what you need. We will provide anything that you will need,” promised Nun Yuni.
“Hmm,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao. As she met Nun Yuni’s intensive gaze, she couldn’t help but frowned a little and said, “Abbess, do you mean what you said?”
“Of course. I promise I will accept any requests that you may have!” said Nun Yuni decisively.
Hearing her words, Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and moved her lips slightly. Her voice came together and reached Nun Yuni’s ears, “Abbess, you will need to form the sacred contract with me in order to break through, can you do that?”
“Ugh!” The nun’s eyes widened all of a sudden and her face was a look of disbelief. Her lips moved slight, “Are you serious?”
“Of course I am. Would I lie about something like that?”
“That. Um. That….” Her mind was a jumbo and she mumbled for a while but still wasn’t able to form any words.
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled. She understood that this wouldn’t be an easy decision and said casually, “There’s no rush, Abbess. We can process whenever you made up your mind.”
“……” The old abbess looked at her, nodded, and, without further ado, turned and left.
She really would need some time to think this over. She was too surprised by the ask. So surprised that she wasn’t able to process it right away.
None of the others had any idea what was exchanged between the abbess with Cheng Xiao Xiao as Cheng Xiao Xiao had focused her words only to the abbess. They weren’t able to hear it and, naturally, would have no idea about what the request was.
But, given that the abbess was having such a hard time in making a decision, they could gather that it must be a difficult request.
Of the remaining individuals, with the exception of Nun Yuni who’s situation was more dire, the rest were up there as well. Even the old dean of the School of Divine Condor was almost at that age.
He, too, looked intently at Cheng Xiao Xiao and said, “Miss Xiao Xiao, why don’t you share with me what that request is also?”
“No problem!” Cheng Xiao Xiao gave him a look and also sent the words to him.
