Chapter 432 – The Truth; Lots of Troubles (6)
Before she knew it, the seniors in front of her had no unusual thoughts about her; they truly treated her as if she was family without a shred of doubts of concerns.
Mrs. Cheng, who had been speaking much, couldn’t help but said thankfully, “The two in-laws, Mrs. Gong, I just want to thank you so much!”
“We are all family, that’s no problem!” smiled Rong Jingshi.
Mrs. Gong smiled and looked at her, “Mrs. Cheng, there’s no need to thank us. Anything that we have that can be of use to Xiao Xiao, we would no turn you down. We trust that when we need assistance, Xiao Xiao will help us as well. As such, is there really a need for thanks?
“Besides, hasn’t Xiao Xiao already said that we are contracted family? And if we are family, all the more there is no need to thank each other!”
“Mrs. Gong was one. I was too over the top!” smiled Mrs. Cheng.
Mo Yuze hasn’t been saying much but seemed to have been pondering something. After a while, he asked Cheng Xiao Xiao, “Xiao Xiao, how many different kinds of contracts are there? What are your plans?”
“There are a few different kinds!” Cheng Xiao Xiao figured that was what her master was asking about and went on to explain, “I think if I were to let Clan Master Qin and the others to come in here, that should be friendship contract!”
Hearing their conversation, everybody else went silent.
“I am not sure about that…”
Mo Yuze shook his head and said, “Your original concern was correct, one can never be 100% certain. You have master/servant contract with Elder Ying, he wouldn’t object to our relationships. But if you contract everybody else as friendships, that just might sow the seed of disgruntlement for the future and that can’t be good!
“Besides, one can’t be too safe. Everything in your dimension is valuable. Each and every one of them will have cultivators fighting over them on the outside. There’s no guarantee that nobody would become greedy. And once they get the idea, they will cause you trouble. I think it’s better if we can have some kind of control over that, and friendship just might not provide us with the kind of control that we need.”
Everybody else nodded upon hearing his words. The possibility was very real, so they all looked back at Cheng Xiao Xiao.
“Master, I understand that and had given that a lot of thought, but which of them do you think would be okay with master/servant contract? That is the only reason why I thought friendship contract might be a better option!”
Hearing her words, everybody became quiet.
All the old monsters on the outside have prestigious statuses in their own areas; it certainly sounded unreasonable to establish master/servant contracts with them.
“Xiao Xiao, it looked like you will need to figure this one out,” said Mo Yuze with a bitter smile.
Helplessly, Cheng Xiao Xiao said, “Let’s wait and see. We still have one month’s time after all. Once shi mu and Aunty Gong became martial monarch, I trust they’d be more eager to move forward. Then we can go from there!”
What Cheng Xiao Xiao was thinking about was that as long as the dimension kept on levelling up, so would her ability. That way she’d be able to figure out a better solution to her problem.
Cheng Xiao Xiao made dinner for everyone there and stayed to have dinner with them before leaving the dimension with Gong Zixuan.
The two returned to Yuteng Pavillion and Gong Zixuan couldn’t help but said, “Little sister Xiao Xiao, you are so amazing! I can’t believe you have something like that in your possession!”
“Fate, I guess.”
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and the two of them sat down on the chairs inside her bedroom. Giving Gong Zixuan a sideway glance, Cheng Xiao Xiao asked, “Big sister Zixuan, now that Aunty Gong is here, I don’t think you will be able to keep your secret from her for much longer?”
