Chapter 529 – A Night Visit To The Cheng’s; Found Who They Were Looking For (2)

“Hrm,” snickered the middle-aged man. “Of course I knew what they are plotting. Weren’t they plotting against Cheng Biyuan right now? Now that they have gained control over our resources, they wanted to force us to go after Cheng Biyuan’s resources. I can see right through them!”

“….” The middle-aged woman lowered her head again and didn’t try to stop him from talking again.

“This family, would disperse sooner or later. It’d be destroyed sooner or later. Maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad thing. Those who were lucky enough to have survived would be able to fend for themselves. They wouldn’t be trapped here and needed to walk on thin ice day and out. Our lives here are worse than dogs’ lives.”

“Oh, stop it already…”

The middle-aged woman’s voice lowered and her tone resigned. “You need to stop talking now if you don’t want to end up like Eleventh Elder. If you don’t care for yourself at least think about the kids. After all, the family is still supporting us. If they ever…”

“If they ever what?” Mocked the middle-aged man. “Are you trying to say ‘death’? If I am not afraid to die, why do I care about saying a few things? If they want to kill me, fine. So what if our entire family head to the afterlife together. It’s not that scary!”

“Sighs…”

Cheng Xiao Xiao stopped listening to them after that. They were just a couple who were numb and left with nothing other than complaints. All they would do was to complain where it’s safe. They would never have the courage to stand up for themselves when push came to shove.

Leaving the small courtyard, Mo Xuanzun couldn’t help but lament and said, “It is time to take care of the Cheng’s, Xiao Xiao. I trust that many would rejoice if and when you act.”

“So what, Abacus. Do you really think they are that innocent? They would never target their own family members if they value their family. Anyone who lives here care only about their own gains. Did you hear what the man just said?”

“Which part?”

“That the First Elder has control over their resources right now. But that was only to strengthen their desires for more resources. Once they decided to turn against us, there would only be one word left in their mind – ‘resources.’ It’d make them forget their last shred of humanity and turned them cold and emotionless. They would care or hesitate in the least bit to kill my entire family. In fact, they’d have us dead as quickly as possible so they can have even more resources!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao snickered. She didn’t miss the most important point in the conversation.

One could say that the entire Cheng’s had been assimilated. They were all as bad as each other; it was just that not all of them realized that.

Plus, whether it was the complaint or the anger of the man earlier, he was only upset over his own gain, not righteousness, not what was right or wrong. He was a selfish man and there was no need for compassion for him.

After that, the two of them looked around using the dimension but didn’t find anything. They even visited the ancestral hall and still didn’t notice anything that was out of the norm.

Looking at all the memorial tablets, Cheng Xiao Xiao was upset at how useless these ancestors were. The entire Cheng’s were a mess and they didn’t show up to do something about it. In a rage, she used her fly swatter and send all the tablets onto the ground. They didn’t deserve their descendants’ respect!

Luckily Mo Xuanzun had set up a boundary, her action did not alert anyone.

“Young Mistress, guye, is there anywhere else we haven’t checked yet?” It has been almost two hours and they hadn’t found anything. Little Yuteng was starting to become impatient.

“We have more or less looked through the entire Cheng’s. Let’s head to the eastern end, where it is referred to as First Elder’s forbidden area. I want to see if the scum is there and what he is hiding. If he was killing anyone who wandered in there, he must be hiding something,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao softly.

“Xiao Xiao, do you think it is possible that…”

Suddenly, Mo Xuanzun’s eyes lit as he looked at the person in front of him.
