Transmigration with QQ Farm

Chapter 493 – An Overlooked Issue; Everybody Was Troubled (4)

Cheng Biyuan, who had just finished his dinner and was about to return to his study, noticed Mo Xuanzun coming to visit him. He couldn’t help but was a little bit surprised and asked, “Xuanzun, how come you are here?”

“Father-in-law, your son-in-law has a question for you and hope that you would give him a straightforward answer!” said Mo Xuanzun as he cupped his hands at Cheng Biyuan respectfully.

“You…” Hearing his words, Cheng Biyuan seemed to have thought of something and, nodding slightly, said, “Alright, why don’t you follow me?”

“Yes, father-in-law!”

The two of them walked inside of Cheng Biyuan’s study one after the other. After they have settled down, Cheng Biyuan asked, “What would you like to know, Zuanxun?”

“father-in-law, I have a feeling that the Cheng’s had run into some sort of trouble. Can you please share that with me? No matter what, I would like to be able to help in any ways that I can. I hope that father-in-law would not keep that from me.”

“Oh, you. Have you asked Xiao Xiao about it yet?” asked Cheng Biyuan.

Mo Xuanzun shook his head and said in a deep voice, “Father-in-law, I could tell that Xiao Xiao was trying to come up with a solution. I didn’t ask her but I want to help.”

“Well…” Cheng Biyuan was stuck between a rock and a hard place. His daughter didn’t want it mentioned to anyone else. But the one in front of him wasn’t an outside. He was his son-in-law, which was like half a son to him. He was arguably a part of the family.

He pondered over it for a bit and started slowly, “Alright, I will share since you really wanted to know. Xiao Xiao thought about a very serious overlook on our part. Her idea was not to share with anyone else, but since you’ve asked, I’ll tell you. We ….”

“That was a pretty serious issue,” said Mo Xuanzun solemnly after he had learned of the issue. Now he understood why Cheng Xiao Xiao seemed so distracted over dinner. There was, indeed, not an easy solution to this.

Cheng Biyuan looked resigned, “We rushed into the decision of recruiting for disciples and hadn’t thought about this at all. Luckily Xiao Xiao recalled it now. If we had waited till after the disciples were here, that’d truly be a real embarrassment.”

“Father-in-law, don’t worry. We will figure it out together.”

“There’s not much we can do for the time being. Xiao Xiao’s idea was not to ask anyone else for help. We’d just have to wait for her and Little Yuteng to come up with something.”

“I understand.”

The weight of this matter weighted down on the two of them like a gigantic mountain and they weren’t in the mood to chitchat. Mo Xuanzun sat for a bit longer before he took off.

As soon as Mo Xuanzun returned to his guest quarter, he noticed that both Ancient Forefather and his master were still in the living room and haven’t turned in yet.

“Ancient Forefather, Master!”

Ancient Forefather nodded slightly and Mo Yuze, noticing that he didn’t look too well, couldn’t help but asked, “Jun-er, what is the matter?”

“It’s nothing, Master,” replied Mo Xuanzun softly after he walked over and sat down next to his master.

Ancient Forefather glanced at his with his all-knowing look and said, “Something going on with little Xiao Xiao?”

“Ancient Forefather…” mzx was a little stunned. He hadn’t said anything yet.

Seemingly read his mind, Ancient Forefather said nonchalantly, “Little Xiao Xiao didn’t have a lot of appetite tonight and she was frowning and pursing her lips from time to time. There was probably something on her mind. Do you have any idea what it was all about, Little Xuanzun?”

“Ancient Forefather, I did just find out the crux of the issue from father-in-law.”

Mo Xuanzun knew that he wouldn’t be able to keep it from Ancient Forefather so, with a wave of his arm, he set a boundary around them and shared the Cheng’s issue with them.

Ancient Forefather was still fine after hearing that but Mo Yuze couldn’t help but said, “This was so small feat. If they don’t handle this well, Sacred Land Zhongyuan’s reputation would plummet.”
