Chapter 428?– The Truth; Lots of Troubles (2)
She dragged it out very long. Whatever Cheng Xiao Xiao was trying wasn’t working on Mrs. Gong. She looked at Cheng Xiao Xiao with her almond-shaped eyes, as though she was going to see through to her soul.
Cheng Xiao Xiao might be able to play dumb in front of others, but not in front of this Mrs. Gong. She took a page from little Yuteng’s book and toyed with her fingers, her lips pouting slighting, and remained silent.
Looking at her, Mrs. Gong wasn’t sure if she should laugh or be angry. She reached out and poked her little pouty cheeks with her finger and said, “Look at that. That must be how you have our little Xuanzun wrapped around your little finger. Okay, this is cute a look, I will give you that. I almost want to take a bite out of your!”
“Snickers!”
Her mother’s words made Gong Zixuan snickered. She hadn’t heard her mother talked like that in a long time. She seemed to recall her mother used to talk to her like that when she was very young. Now that she saw little sister Xiao Xiao, that side of her was showing again. Right at this moment, she felt homely and blessed.
Mrs. Gong gave her daughter a quick glance and then back to the one who was still dumbfounded and, gathering herself, said in a solemn tone, “Now tell me!”
“Pretty Aunty, you, you are so much cuter than big sister Zixuan!” Cheng Xiao Xiao collected herself and shook her head. She wasn’t sure what else she could do.
She looked around and, suddenly, burst out into a bright smile and said, “Pretty Aunty, you haven’t met Clan Master Qin and Valley Master Ji yet. What say we have them come over first?”
“Never mind that. I don’t need to meet those old folks. I have met them plenty of times before and am not interested right now!”
Elegantly, Mrs. Gong waved her arm, gave her a quick stare and said, “Alright, young lady. You can stop changing the subject now. You are too green to try that in front of me!”
“Alright, pretty Aunty, you won!” Cheng Xiao Xiao shook her head helplessly. She had no other choice but to throw in the towel.
“Speak now!”
The mother and daughter were both looking at her as though saying that she must give them an answer this time. Helplessly Cheng Xiao Xiao asked them, “Pretty Aunty, we all know the purpose of your visit this time. Do you know my shi mu’s cultivation level?”
“Your shi mu is a mid-level martial emperor, right?” said Mrs. Gong, slightly lifting her brows.
Gong Zixuan nodded and said, “That is correct. When I met shi mu Mo a couple of days ago, she was a mid-level martial emperor.”
“Mrs. Gong and big sister Zixuan must also know that our Elder Ying was also a mid-level martial emperor when he broke through to apex martial emperor then went onto became martial monarch, right?”
“Xiao Xiao, you meant?” Mrs. Gong’s eyes shrank and asked in astonishment.
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded and, in a serious tone, said lightly, “That right, a few days ago Clan Master Qin and his group provided me with a batch of materials. In order to proof it to them, we have set the time to a month from now. A month from now, I will have shi mu Mo broke through apex martial emperor and became a martial monarch!”
“Oh!!” Gong Zixuan let out a small cry. Her sparking eyes filled with surprises and she said, “Xiao Xiao, you mean shi mu Mo is preparing for her breakthrough right now?”
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded quietly.
Mrs. Gong had been looking at her intently this entire time; naturally, she could tell that she was telling the truth. Blinking her pretty eyes, she asked, “Your master was accompanying your shi mu, along with your mother, is that right?”
“That exactly right!” Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t understand why she asked, but she nodded truthfully.
“Alright then!”
With a very solemn look, Mrs. Gong fished out two dimension rings, handed them over to her and said, “Xiao Xiao, this is the materials provided to you from our Palace of Immortal Beasts. I am also a mid-level martial emperor. I would like to join your shi mu right now and breakthrough with her. Can you do that?”
