Transmigration with QQ Farm

Chapter 520 – Group Breakthrough; Heading to Capital City (1)

“Favoritism? How am I playing favoritism?” Cheng Xiao Xiao walked up and asked as she sat down.

“You are playing favoritism if you are denying that you are playing favoritism.” Zhou Jinjiang smiled and said, “Do you remember that Lord and I became martial king before Elder. He showed up today and you made him martial emperor. How’s that not favoritism?”

“Ugh…” Cheng Xiao Xiao raised her brows. “Is that it?”

“No, there’s more. Now look at our new elders. They are all martial kinds as well. Now you are making them all martial emperors. That’s favoritism.”

“C’mon now, Uncle Zhou. Stop beating around the bush and just tell me what you want to say to me,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao as she rolled her eyes.

“Okay, then. I will stop beating around the bush.” Zhou Jinjiang smiled and said, “Lord and I want to become martial emperor tonight as well. You figure it out.”

“That won’t be a problem.”

Cheng Xiao Xiao made a promise to him without even thinking it through. Even though they had just advanced to martial king, but with the kind of resources that Cheng Xiao Xiao has, even if it would post somewhat of a difficulty, she wouldn’t say it wasn’t possible to help them to advance to martial emperor.

Not to mention that they would be heading over to Capital City soon and for sure her father would want to go with. Cheng Xiao Xiao had been thinking about helping her father advance in his cultivation. After all, they would be facing a martial emperor; they couldn’t be a level behind them to begin with.

“Okay, you said it. I am going to hold you to that!”

Zhou Jinjiang smiled happily; he longer needed to be envious of others becoming martial emperor.

“Dad, why don’t you quickly make arrangements for the matters at home, then we can set a date to head to Capital City,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao softly to her father.

“I have already had everything arranged. It’s just that your maternal grandmother will be arriving in the next few days. We won’t be able to head out until she has arrived.”

“What? What maternal grandmother?”

That was an unfamiliar term to her. Cheng Xiao Xiao immediately thought of her uncle and Gong Zixuan. She couldn’t help but found this whole thing disturbing. Did this maternal grandmother of her truly only care about her son but not her daughter?

No matter what had happened back then, this grandmother had never came looking for her mom. She had no idea what was going through her mind. Plus, she was probably here this time mainly for her son.

“Why is she visiting right now?”

“Eh, Xiao Xiao, what’s the matter?” Cheng Biyuan noticed that she didn’t look too happy. “Is it because of your grandmother?”

“Ugh. Never mind. I’m not going to worry about it right now.”

Cheng Xiao Xiao felt discouraged. She left the resources for her father and Zhou Jinjiang and took off.

Both of them noticed that she was behaving oddly and couldn’t help but exchanged a look. Cheng Biyuan smiled bitterly and said, “It looks like Xiao Xiao wasn’t a big fan of my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law had never showed up all these years. Never mind Xiao Xiao, I am not that happy myself either.”

“The matters about your family…”

Zhou Jinjiang shook his head, “It was so complicated, we wouldn’t even know where to start. Come to think about it, your father-in-law was upset at you because you had interrupted his plan and stole his daughter. At least he has a good reason. As for your mother-in-law, I heard that she had maintained written communication with sister-in-law this entire time. How come she never tried to reach out and help you out?

“So what if your father-in-law didn’t want to? If she had truly wanted to help you out, no matter how much your father-in-law objected to it, she would still have been able to do that. I don’t believe that she could write to her but not be able to do anything to help out. Who’d believe such a thing?”

“Alright. Let’s not talk about this anymore. If Xiao Xiao hear this, she’d feel even more hostile toward her grandmother. We wouldn’t want her to make a scene when the time comes,” said Cheng Biyuan, resigned. Of course he understood that what Zhou Jinjiang had said were all truth.
