ch 462 – Returning Home; Amazing Resources (3)
Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t surprised about the appearance of the 4 martial kings after learning how scarce resources are on this continent from Zongzheng Zhuxuan yesterday.
Or, to put it in a different way, no smart person will let this opportunity slip by. After all, nobody could foresee whether the Cheng’s would recruit more guards in the future. So anyone with half a brain would know to take advantage of this opportunity.
What was surprising was that even though there were quite a few candidates today, they finally decided on around 100 or so. And about 50 or so lost in the competition, making the final count around 300.
That was almost 1/3 more than what she had aimed for.
At that very moment, those who lost in the arena began to get anxious. Even though they have bamboo sticks in their hands, but they have, after all, not yet joined the Cheng’s. They felt uncertain, but their eyes were filled with anticipation.
Most of these individuals were martial masters along with a few martial apprentices and martial spiritualists. The few martial apprenticed who joined the competition the very first day were pretty much feeling despair. No matter how they looked at it, their chances of joining the Cheng’s were slim to nil.
After the competition was over.
Cheng Xiao Xiao and Mo Xuanzun, being surrounded by the 130 or so guards, came onto the stage!
The appearance of the couple stunned every one!
Her refined face was prettier than that of a fairy. Hair silky hair was black like ink and casually falling down around her shoulder with a bun that was held together by a jade hairpin. Wearing a full white outfit, she was as pure as a fairy. Her mannerism was noble like that of ice!
The other one was also in a white garb, and both his robe and his hair were wavy in the wind. He possessed beauty that was out of this word, and his feature were well-defined like that of a statue. His narrow eyes looked like flowing spring water and warm like a breeze in spring. He could make one feel friendly yet nobody could ignore his imposing manner. It was the imposing manner that belonged only to a ruler who was on the top of the world, ruling over all lifeforms.
His look and his manner made him seem out of this world. With just a casual robe, he looked like a fairy from a different domain. Nobody could have any negative feelings toward him, just respect.
With the two of them standing next to each other, everybody must say that they made such a good couple and were such a match made in heaven.
Cheng Xiao Xiao was merely standing next to Mo Xuanzun. She had no intention of doing the talking.
Mo Xuanzun might just be the son-in-law of the Cheng’s, but to outsiders, he was part of the Cheng’s family. A man was responsible for all the external matters while a woman was responsible for all the matters at home. As a woman, naturally Cheng Xiao Xiao understood this. So she gladly handed over the control over to her own man.
Standing on top of the stage, Mo Xuanzun had a slight smile on his handsome face. His tender eyes scanned over everybody who were there. At that very moment, any one who has been scanned by this warm and gentle look couldn’t help but shudder a little. Just a look from him could have the such effect on them, that was astonishing for everyone there!
One must know that all cultivators had been trained to remain unaffected under any circumstances. A normal person would not be able to make a cultivator deviate from that mental state, yet this ridiculously handsome man was able to accomplish that.
“This Template Master Mo Xuanzun was asked by Count Zhongyuan to hire a group of guards to work for him. And now, this recruitment event was officially over. Thank you very much for everyone’s support!”
While Mo Xuanzun had inherited the title of genius numerologist, he had also inherited the status of Temple Master. “This Temple Master” was how he’d address himself in public.
