“I am a village girl, of course I need to farm. And in order to farm,we need the seeds, can’t young Mister Zhu Xiangyu tell?”

Her answer made the fan in his hand stopped in its action. After ashort pause, he recovered quickly and smiled, “Xiao Xiao is the most beautifulvillage girl!”

“You are too nice!” Cheng Xiao Xiao looked straight at him again andasked, “Is there any other question that I can answer for young Mister Zhu Xiangyu?If you miss this opportunity, next time you want to ask any questions, I amgoing to charge you mystical stones!” Cheng Xiao Xiao had no intention to wastemore time with this master of words, so she asked him directly.

“……”

Her expression remained the same and she looked straight at him. ZhuXiangyu saw that she wasn’t joking and was taken aback a little but returnedquickly to his usual gentle self. He then asked, “Since Xiao Xiao said so, I amgoing to unleash my curiosity. Xiao Xiao, your family dug up that mystical wellof yours?”

“Yes!” Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded and gave him an one-word response, notan extra word.

Zhu Xiangyu paused for a second, raised his brows, and asked again,“Xiao Xiao is a beast tamer, please tell me if you have a trainer?”

“No!”

Another one-word answer!

“What exactly is Xiao Xiao’s weapon? A fan? Or a cane?”

“Both!”

Another one-word answer. Zhu Xiangyu could no longer maintain thatsmile of his. Secretly he drew in a breath and asked directly, “Xiao Xiao,where did all the Cheng’s mystical beasts came from?”

“The mountains!”

“Does the Cheng have any relations with the four top powers?”

“No!”

“The Cheng’s…..”

“…..”

What he should asked, what he shouldn’t asked, he had asked them all.Even if he knew full well he wouldn’t get an answer for them, he asked themanyway. These were questions that had occurred to everyone, but wanting to getan answer from any of the Cheng’s was an impossible task.

Zhu Xiangyu had took this opportunity to asked all of his questions;but the answers from Cheng Xiao Xiao was none other than frustrating.

He had more questions about the Cheng’s than he had started; nor couldhe tell whether those answer given by Cheng Xiao Xiao was true or not. He wasnot able to tell.

He had been hanging around the Cheng’s for over half a month. Onecould even say he was surveiling the Cheng’s. Yet he failed to notice anythingout of the ordinary. With the exception of the mystical well, he hadn’t noticeanything out of the norm, let it be items or people.

Looking at the now quiet gentleman, Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled, “Any otherquestions I can answer for you, Mr. Zhu Xiangyu?”

“….” Looking at the one in front of him with a complicated look, heshook his head.

What was the point of asking more questions?

She wasn’t going to tell him anything; n.o.body would give up one’ssecret so easily!

If he really wanted to find out the secret of the Cheng’s, then heshould….

Thinking about this, a shadow casted in his eyes. Another bright smileon his handsome face and he said, “Does Xiao Xiao like going out for fun? Iknow a few fun places. Should we make some plans to go visit them together?”

“No need. I don’t plan on going on another trip anytime soon!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao had returned to her cold self and said nonchalantly,“If young Mr. Zhu Xiangyu has no other needs for me, I shall excuse myself. Youcan leave whenever you are ready. You don’t need to hang out at the Cheng’sanymore. And there are much at the Cheng’s that need you to guard.”
