A troop of horses approached with great speed and leaving a trail of dusts behind them. Through the window, she could tell the one at the very front was Ning Xunzong!
Seeing him all lively again, Cheng Xiao Xiao lifted the corner of her mouth and a cold look flashed past her eyes.
The noises outside startled those inside the courtyard. The mother and the sibling screamed. Cheng Xiao Xiao ran outside with flours all over her hand.
"Xiao Xiao, many have came!" Mrs. Cheng was nervous, "Your dad went to the village and hasn't returned yet. What should we do?"
The two young ones didn't make a noise but looked at their older sister wisely. Their older sister called all the shots at home.
Cheng Xiao Xiao walked over and comforted them with a smile, "Mom, what you worry about? Have you forgotten that we have pets now? Nobody can hurt us. Anyone break in here, just release your pets on the. Don't worry, nothing will happen. I will go check it out outside!"
"Xiao Xiao, be careful!" Mrs. Cheng was a bit flustered and never occurred to her to take care of the newcomers herself, just telling Cheng Xiao Xiao to be careful.
The young Cheng Zheng Bin stood up, puffed his chest and said loudly, "Big sister, don't worry, I will protect mom and little sister!"
"Good, you do that!" Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled at her brother, "Don't be afraid to hurt any of the intruders. And don't let your mom and little sister be frightened or get hurt!"
"Okay, big sister, I will fulfill my duty!"
"I trust you!"
After encouraging her young brother and comforted her mom and younger sister, Cheng Xiao Xiao walked outside nonchalantly. She walked over to the vegetable field and nonchalantly watched arrival of the quickly approaching horses and people.
Seeing her appearing, all the riders stopped the horses and dismounted one by one and walked toward her.
The girl in front of them, unadorned and refreshing looking, everybody figured she was the maiden of the Cheng's – Cheng Xiao Xiao.
Mu Qingtong, the instructor, was a bit surprised while looking at the Cheng's maiden. She wasn't exactly a beauty, but she certainly possessed a kind of out-of-this-world elegance that made even those who had seen all sort of beautiful women knew that she's a fair lady.
Of course, what surprised him even more was her careless and nonchalant mannerism, as though she has been expecting their arrival. She didn't seem a bit surprised at all.
What was going on?
He pondered about this. All the others who followed him here also couldn't help but to looked her up and down. Her elegance and her mannerism definitely was not that belonging to a common village girl. She could rival any girls from their school.
Cheng Xiao Xiao was indifferent to all the looks. She focused her attention on only one individual. The marital spiritualist was the strongest rival she had seen thus far.
"Cheng Xiao Xiao, you nasty little girl, I am back!" The arrogant Ning Xunzong shouted at her even though his instructor was right there.
A jerk would always be a jerk. Cheng Xiao Xiao didn't even bother looking at him. She looked only at one person – Mu Xingtong, the instructor from School of Divine Condor.***
