It had been over ten thousand years since a mythical contract binder hadwalked on this continent, and now her…

Was she…?

Zhou Jinjiang couldn’t say for certain, but he dare suspect that thebrat Cheng Xiao Xiao just might be an extremely talented mythical contractbinder.

Granted, this was nothing but his own speculation. He dare not ask, nordid he dare share it with Cheng Biyuan. His intention wasn’t to share thisjoyous news with everyone, but to hide it as best he could!

Cheng Xiao Xiao would only be safe if nobody find out about it!

Thinking about this, Zhou Jinjiang bid Cheng Xiao Xiao farewell and leftwith the new servants.

Cheng Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, stared at his back and fell intodeep thought!

She could sensed that something was no longer the same with ZhouJinjiang – the way he walked to her was more respectful than normal.

This was never the case before. Zhou Jinjiang had always treated her assomeone from a more junior generation, and had never spoken to her in that tonebefore.

As for why had prompted the change, she hadn’t figure that out just yet.

The time of the promised auction has come and the Cheng’s were gettingbusier and busier. Even though the maiden Cheng Xiao Xiao had repeated over andover again it was not necessary to prepare food and drinks for the guests butZhou Jinjiang disagreed. He still had what was necessary prepared.

Inside the Cheng’s study!

Cheng Biyuan and Zhou Jinjiang sat facing each other with very solemnlooks on them. Their looks were brought upon by the completeness of the guests;with the exception of the Four Top Powers, everybody else was there.

This was not a situation they had anticipated. And everyone one of themaimed to win their bid!

“This is going to be rough!” smiled Cheng Biyuan bitterly at the personin front of him.

Zhou Jinjiang smiled bitterly back at him, “Rough or not, we got to pushthrough it. All these people are losing their minds over our goods. We must becareful in the next few days!”

“Exactly. If Willows wasn’t guarded by Xiao Xiao’s mystical beasts, it’dhave been mowed down already!” Cheng Biyuan thought about those persistentcultivators and couldn’t help but shook his head.

Luckily his daughter Xiao Xiao had foresaw and prepared for that.Otherwise they’d have even more issues to deal with right now!

“Speaking of, My Lord, how do you plan on handling the issue between youand Gu Gaoyi?” Zhou Jinjiang couldn’t contain his curiosity on this issue.

Granted, this concerned the Cheng’s reputation greatly, it was onlynatural that he was concerned about it.

Cheng Biyuan was silent when this subject was broached; his lookslightly dismal. It was quite obvious that this issue has been weighting downon him.

Zhou Jinjiang looked on quietly and the study fell silent all of asudden.

After a long while, Cheng Biyuan shook off his dismal look and said,“Let him be, I guess. If my speculation is correct, he was here to end ourverbal betrothal.”

Zhou Jinjiang nodded. Anyone with half a brain could have figured thatone out. After all, it was an open secret that Cheng Xiao Xiao was not fond ofGu Junxian at all. It only made sense that his family would come and end thebetrothal.

“Judging by the fact that there had been no activities on their part asof late, Gu Gaoyi will very likely show up during the auction. And mostlylikely that’s when he was going to broach the subject!” Zhou Jinjiang pointedthat out.”

“Most likely!”

There was no doubt on Cheng Biyuan’s mind, “It doesn’t matter to meeither way, but I worry that Cheng Xiao Xiao wouldn’t let it go downpeacefully, and….”

The thought of that made Cheng Biyuan’s head throb. The scale of theauction had already way exceeded their expectation, and then you throw in dramalike this, how could he not feel his stomach churn.

“My Lord, truth be told, I am looking forward to Xiao Xiao teaching thema lesson!” said Zhou Jinjiang as if hinting on something else.

“……”
