ch 572 - New Plans; Fooled 1

Old Mrs. Cheng gave her a surprised look and asked, “Did something happen?”

“Probably,” Cheng Xiao Xiao knew that something was going on with the Luo’s at City Yan. Everybody had agreed on keeping the news from Old Mrs. Luo. It looked like she had just found out.

“Let’s go find out what’s going on!”

By now, Old Mrs. Cheng had already found out what had transpired between her son and his in-laws. She didn’t let too much of her feeling show, but judging from the distance that she had maintained between herself and Old Mrs. Luo, it wasn’t difficult to tell that she wasn’t too happy about it. She just never said anything in the open was all.

The grandmother and granddaughter duo entered the living room and saw that Old Mrs. Luo was covered in tears and looking wretched. Even her mother Luo Yuqin was blotting her tears away. It looked like they have learned some not-so-good news.

As the two of them walked inside, everybody looked over at them.

“Mom…”

“Old Madam…”

Cheng Biyuan and Zhou Jinjiang both stood up simultaneous to greet the most beautiful old madam. Luo Yuqin wiped away her tears and quickly stood up to curtsy Fang Shuyun, “Greetings from your daughter-in-law, mother-in-law.”

“Sit, sit!” Old Mrs. Cheng scanned over everyone there and nodded.

“Old Madam, Miss.” Elder Zhengzong cupped his hands at the two of them.

“Thank you, Elder Zhengzong.” Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded at Elder Zhengzong before she said nonchalantly at him, “You have a seat too, Elder Zhengzong.”

After the group had finished with a round of greetings, they all sat down together. Cheng Xiao Xiao started by asking, “What was the situation over at the Luo’s, Elder Zhengzong?”

“Miss, the situation at City of Yan was….”

Everybody then learned of the situation at City of Yan from Elder Zhengzong. They learned of Headmaster Luo being poisoned by some unknown poison and, more importantly, that there was someone from the City of Heitu there.

Even though the half-beast had already been killed, but all of them there were still in very sullen mood.

Cheng Biyuan and the rest looked particularly concerned, especially after they had learned that the Tian’s had been working with someone from the City of Heitu. That was simply traitorous. If other cultivators found out that they were associated with demons and depraved cultivated, it would not end well.

Granted, they didn’t end up very well for the time being either. Tian Fusheng and Luo Yujie were both dead and the Tian’s siblings were missing. That was very far from a happy ending.

She couldn’t accept that fact at all. As though she was struck by lightning, she was dumbfounded. Her body trembled and her mouth opened a little, but she finally failed to form any words.

Luo Yuqin was pale. She obviously found it difficult to accept that her sister was that kind of a person. How could she have associated herself with depraved cultivators that everybody wanted to wipe out? That would bring shame to the family.

Most importantly, she even tried to kill her own father with poison. That was…

The mother and daughter duo were stunned beyond words by the news.

“It looked like the Tian’s brothers might be with those from City of Heitu,” said Cheng Biyuan in a light voice.

Everybody nodded. It was only too obvious.

Zhou Jinjiang, with a very solemn look, said in a deep voice, “We don’t know how many came from the City of Heitu. If there was only one depraved cultivator, that isn’t a much of a problem. Not to mention that he was already dead. If there are others, and they are with the Tian’s. The Tian’s knew our place quite well, I’m afraid that…”
