Zhou Jinjiang’s eyes widened and called out uncontrollably when he saw the person tossed over to him by Elder Ying, “Isn’t this the second prince Feng Bucang?”

“Yes, this is him, indeed. He had guts. Coming to cause trouble and insult Miss in front of me. He asked for it!” Old Man Ying was not fond of this person at all but, at the same time, he also knew that he was royalty and he couldn’t just kill him on a whim.

Now that he had handed the man over, the rest was not his problem. Out of sight, out of mind. Now that his mission was completed, he turned around and went to get some rest.

“Xiao Xiao, what are your thoughts about this?” Cheng Biyuan’s brows furrowed. Looking at the unconscious man, he didn’t know what to say.

“I have no thoughts so far.” Said Cheng Xiao Xiao as she shook her head gently and looked at Zhou Jinjiang.

Zhou Jinjiang understood her thoughts right about and couldn’t help but appreciated how circumspective she was. He said to her immediately, “We can’t kill me. No matter what, we must keep him alive.”

“We can spare his life, but we still need to give him a good warning. He had treated the Cheng’s like we were his slaves. He’d better get that straight!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao, much like Zhou Jinjiang, didn’t want to blow the incident out of proportion. She wasn’t worried about the royals, but it’s best to not cause troubles when that could be avoided.

“I understand,” nodded Zhou Jinjiang. Frowning, he then said, “The royal will never feel relieved around us. We had no intention to go against them, but it doesn’t hurt to be too careful.”

“What is it that you are worried about?” asked Cheng Biyuan.

“Nothing serious. Just a little about our rights. The royals have always been paranoia, especially now that they have witnessed the rise of the Cheng’s. They will be worried about us.”

Zhou Jinjiang did not directly mention what the emperor had told him, but alluded to the incident with his words.

Everybody there were smart people; they could read into the meaning of his words.

“Was the appearance of the Second Prince a form of test for us by the royalty?” asked Cheng Biyuan with a solemn look. He didn’t expect to have dredged up the royalties in such a short amount of time.

He didn’t think the Cheng’s had crossed the royalty in any ways.

Cheng Xiao Xiao snickered, “I don’t like to offend others, or cause troubles, but that doesn’t mean we are pushovers. So what they are royalty? If they dare make any moves on us, I don’t mind having a different emperor!”

“Ugh…”

Zhou Jinjiang couldn’t help but smiled bitterly; he trust that Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t kidding.

“That’s not worth worrying about,” said Mo Xuanzun nonchalantly.

“Exactly. There is nothing to worry about.” Agreed Cheng Xiao Xiao. She smiled at the person next to her and said, “Uncle Zhou, we are handing him over to you. I hope the royalties won’t disappoint you.”

“It’s not about disappointing me. I just hope they wouldn’t do anything stupid.”

“That was exactly right!” agreed Mo Xuanzun with utmost sincerity.

The two older ones exchanged a look wordless. What they had just talked about could not leave this room; otherwise, troubles would appear much sooner.

As they were chitchatting, the few old monsters were surprised at the sight of the appearance of the new recruits. After the initial shock, each and every single one of them looked like they were in deep thoughts, as though they were trying to figure something out.

They had all noticed one thing – the level of loyalty from these new recruits did not suggest that they had just joined recently; quite contrarily, they were loyal like they had been with the Cheng’s for tens of years.

With their power of observation and mindfulness, they could naturally be able to tell whether these individuals were sincere or not. All the more they did not understand how Cheng Xiao Xiao was able to accomplish that.

One thing they could be sure though – the one with the ability to bring about this change was Cheng Xiao Xiao.

No matter what they thought, Cheng Xiao Xiao went to rest up after she had arrived home without meeting with these dwellers at her house.
