ch 43.1 – The Plot to Rob“Grandpa, is that true?”

Ning Xunzong’s eyes widened with a look of disbelief. He never would have thought that at a remote place like his home town there would be a mythical well. This was ridiculously good news.Never mind the Ning’s, even the School of Divine Condor didn’t have a mythical well. His mind was starting to churn.Old man Ning nodded, “Of course it’s true. Ko Yang went to the Cheng’s himself. He saw the mythical well with his own eyes and tasted its water before he reported back!”“That’s excellent!”Ning Xunzong was about to clap from excitement. Overjoyed, he said, “Grandpa, spend some money and buy the well from the Cheng’s, then it will become our mythical well. Then I will report this to my instructors and many at the school will know of me, Ning Xunzong. The instructors will treat me even better and reward me with my mythical stones for cultivation. I will breakthrough to martial spiritualist in not time. Nobody will look down on me again then! Right, grandpa?”“Well…” looking at the overjoyed grandchild, old man Ning wasn’t sure what to say. He didn’t think his idea was to buy the well. They were not idiots, why would they sell the well? Not to mention that they wouldn’t even sell them mythical animals right now, let alone the well.“What’s the problem, grandpa?” Looking at the awkward look on his grandfather, Ning Xunzong finally realized that things might not go as well as he had thought, “Grandpa, are you saying that they are not will to sell?”“Of course not!” Old man Ning shook his head helplessly and told him what had transpired at the Cheng’s, along with the fact that they wouldn’t even sell them their mythical animals.“So the Cheng’s are residents of Willow Village? And Mr. Cheng is a martial master?”This was when Ning Xunzong finally realized the ones they were dealing with weren’t some ignorant fools. They were not easy targets. But, the thought of the well made his heart pound and his eyes flickered in greed. All sorts of thoughts rushed through his head.After a long while, light of determinations and maliciousness beamed from his eyes, “Grandpa, we will offer them a good price. If they don’t know what’s good for them, we have our ways!”“Zong’er, you mean…”Old man Ning could tell right away that he meant to take it with force. His heart sank. Old man Ning was a very well respected man in this small town and he had never committed something so evil. He found his grandson’s suggestion hard to accept.“Grandpa, what’s the problem? Treasures should always go to the strongest. Plus, even if we don’t move on it, others will, once they found out about it. Then it will be harder for us to act!”“It’s just simple survival of the fitness. So what we have to plot for something nice? Grandpa, you worry too much. It’s each man for themselves. Why should we cower?”Ning Xunzong was fairly familiar with old man Ning’s personality. He never thought there was any problem with it until he started studying at the School of Divine Condor. It always preached the philosophy of survival of the fittest. At the end of the day, its always about who’s the strongest.Nobody would be gentle to you because you were a nice person; quite the contrary, they would take advantage of you. After being at the School of Condor for over a year, the once simple-minded Ning Xunzong had changed. He had learned to take what he wanted. That had became the new normal for him.“But…”ch 43.2 – The Plot to Rob“Alright, grandpa, you let me handle this. Don’t worry about it, I am going to entertain my two school friends now!”  Ning Xunzong interrupted his grandfather impatiently. He stood up and started leaving the room as he said to himself, “Some simple village girl wants to marry me? What a joke! Hrm!”

Old man Ning heard his words and frowned. He opened his mouth as though he was going to say something, but finally didn’t make a sound.

Cheng Xiao Xiao passed over two hill tops before she arrived in front over 10 tea leave trees. It wasn’t exactly a carpet or a sea of green, but there were many crooked branch from these trees growing in all directions. The leaves were elliptical in shape, thick and wide, a bright green that made them looked like oil was about to drip from them.

The flat top of the trees were covered with new, elliptical leaves. They had serrated edges and fresh like new born infants. The bright, green pointy leaves just waiting to be picked.

Walking up to them a hint of tea fragrance filled the air. Tea trees (also known as

“tea plants” or “tea shrubs”) belong to the Theaceae family and Camellia genus and is a species of ever green shrub. Tea trees loves warm and humid climate and prefers bright filtered light; they grow well under direct sunlight. They have four different development stages: bud, seedling, mature plant, aged plant.

Cheng Xiao Xiao knew that they could be divided into spring and autumn seasons. Tea made from leaves picked in the spring time were called spring tea, tea from leaves picked in autumn time were called autumn tea. In later days these were mass grown for their leaves, but back in these days people still picked them from the mountains, that’s why they were very expensive.

Standing next to the tree plants, Xiao Xiao asked the little fairy, “Yuteng, if we transplant all these trees into the dimension, can we have tea leaves throughout the year?”

“Hehe, young master, why don’t we transplant them and find out?  In addition to four seasons a year, the time in the dimension is accelerated1, you can have as much tea leaves as you want!”

“Wonderful. That’s great, and we will be able to sell them too!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded and smiled, “Yuteng, transplant them quickly. Then we can search for more! The more the better!”

“Surely!” Yuteng responded and with one wave of her small hand, all the tea plants in front of them disappeared like they were never there.

After she had collected those, Cheng Xiao Xiao went looking for more tea plants as it was still light out.

Back of the Cheng’s house!

Cheng Biyuan brought back four villagers and they all lined up to get water from the well, then bring them one bucket at a time to the bamboo forest and poured them onto the bamboo roots. They were all working very hard.

The villagers had no idea what was the reasoning behind this, but they were promised one liter of rice a day so they didn’t care what the reason was, they just knew to work hard.

It was almost festive outside the bamboo forest, the two trapped inside the bamboo forest were miserable. They couldn’t see their surrounding clearly in the moonlight, but in board daylight, when they realized the situation that they were in, they wanted to bang their heads against a wall.

The first thing out of the shivering Deacon Lin’s mouth was, “What do we do?”

Note:

1. If time was accelerated inside the dimension, Cheng Xiao Xiao should age faster each time she went inside. XD
