Chapter 493 â An Overlooked Issue; Everybody Was Troubled (4)
Cheng Biyuan, who had just finished his dinner and was about to return to his study, noticed Mo Xuanzun coming to visit him. He couldnât help but was a little bit surprised and asked, âXuanzun, how come you are here?â
âFather-in-law, your son-in-law has a question for you and hope that you would give him a straightforward answer!â said Mo Xuanzun as he cupped his hands at Cheng Biyuan respectfully.
âYouâŠâ Hearing his words, Cheng Biyuan seemed to have thought of something and, nodding slightly, said, âAlright, why donât you follow me?â
âYes, father-in-law!â
The two of them walked inside of Cheng Biyuanâs study one after the other. After they have settled down, Cheng Biyuan asked, âWhat would you like to know, Zuanxun?â
âfather-in-law, I have a feeling that the Chengâs had run into some sort of trouble. Can you please share that with me? No matter what, I would like to be able to help in any ways that I can. I hope that father-in-law would not keep that from me.â
âOh, you. Have you asked Xiao Xiao about it yet?â asked Cheng Biyuan.
Mo Xuanzun shook his head and said in a deep voice, âFather-in-law, I could tell that Xiao Xiao was trying to come up with a solution. I didnât ask her but I want to help.â
âWellâŠâ Cheng Biyuan was stuck between a rock and a hard place. His daughter didnât want it mentioned to anyone else. But the one in front of him wasnât an outside. He was his son-in-law, which was like half a son to him. He was arguably a part of the family.
He pondered over it for a bit and started slowly, âAlright, I will share since you really wanted to know. Xiao Xiao thought about a very serious overlook on our part. Her idea was not to share with anyone else, but since youâve asked, Iâll tell you. We âŠ.â
âThat was a pretty serious issue,â said Mo Xuanzun solemnly after he had learned of the issue. Now he understood why Cheng Xiao Xiao seemed so distracted over dinner. There was, indeed, not an easy solution to this.
Cheng Biyuan looked resigned, âWe rushed into the decision of recruiting for disciples and hadnât thought about this at all. Luckily Xiao Xiao recalled it now. If we had waited till after the disciples were here, thatâd truly be a real embarrassment.â
âFather-in-law, donât worry. We will figure it out together.â
âThereâs not much we can do for the time being. Xiao Xiaoâs idea was not to ask anyone else for help. Weâd just have to wait for her and Little Yuteng to come up with something.â
âI understand.â
The weight of this matter weighted down on the two of them like a gigantic mountain and they werenât in the mood to chitchat. Mo Xuanzun sat for a bit longer before he took off.
As soon as Mo Xuanzun returned to his guest quarter, he noticed that both Ancient Forefather and his master were still in the living room and havenât turned in yet.
âAncient Forefather, Master!â
Ancient Forefather nodded slightly and Mo Yuze, noticing that he didnât look too well, couldnât help but asked, âJun-er, what is the matter?â
âItâs nothing, Master,â replied Mo Xuanzun softly after he walked over and sat down next to his master.
Ancient Forefather glanced at his with his all-knowing look and said, âSomething going on with little Xiao Xiao?â
âAncient ForefatherâŠâ mzx was a little stunned. He hadnât said anything yet.
Seemingly read his mind, Ancient Forefather said nonchalantly, âLittle Xiao Xiao didnât have a lot of appetite tonight and she was frowning and pursing her lips from time to time. There was probably something on her mind. Do you have any idea what it was all about, Little Xuanzun?â
âAncient Forefather, I did just find out the crux of the issue from father-in-law.â
Mo Xuanzun knew that he wouldnât be able to keep it from Ancient Forefather so, with a wave of his arm, he set a boundary around them and shared the Chengâs issue with them.
Ancient Forefather was still fine after hearing that but Mo Yuze couldnât help but said, âThis was so small feat. If they donât handle this well, Sacred Land Zhongyuanâs reputation would plummet.â
