"Greetings, Mr. Xue, Mr. Su!" Cheng Xiao Xiao bowed slightly again. She had never heard of them before in the past, nor did she care particularly.
"Hoho, Miss Cheng. Sorry to come unannounced!" Her standoffish manner did not deter Xue Xingchen.
"Yes, Miss Cheng, we apologize in advance for disturbing your home!" said Su Yiyang with a smile.
Long Yuze looked at her, then nonchalantly he said, "Miss Cheng, pardon our intrusion. I have brought a gift that I hope you'd accept!"
As he was saying that, two servant carrying the present walked in front of her.
Xue Xingchen followed suit, "I have also brought something with me as well. I hope you'd enjoy my gift!" The four servants of the Xue's appeared with the gifts.
"So have I. I sincerely hope you wouldn't turn it down."
Six more servants appeared after Su Yiyang finished saying that and a total of twelve servants with gifts waited for Cheng Xiao Xiao to accept them.
As the saying goes, you get more bees with honey. The newcomers were polite so there were no reasons for Cheng Xiao Xiao to be rude and throw them out. He nodded slightly and said to them, "Anyone passing by are guests. No matter what your purpose, c'mon in and we can chat!"
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
The three of them replied at the same time. Cheng Xiao Xiao didn't say more before taking them back to the courtyard.
The representative from the School of Divine Condor were completely ignored. Ning Xunzong shouted angrily, "Cheng Xiao Xiao is such an infuriating nasty girl!"
"Shut up!" The foul-mood Mu Qingtong wanted to give him a swift kick. He was too angry at him.
Looking at all the others being welcomed inside, one of the student of Divine Condor walked up to Mu Qingtong and asked softly, "Instructor Mu, what do we do now?"
"You all wait right here!" said Mu Qingtong to his dozen of students, then to the one next to him, "Zhengyang, you come with me!"
"Yes, instructor Mu!" Xu Zhengyang tried not to let his excitement shown and followed.
Cheng Xiao Xiao took the guests into the courtyard; Mrs. Cheng and the two kids had already retired inside the house. The guests could tell there were people inside, but they didn't pay it too much attention.
The twelve servants put all the gifts on top of the square table and left immediately.
Cheng Xiao Xiao hosted the three remaining guests and offered them seats. Right after they were seated, Mu Qingtong entered with his student.
With cupped hands he greeted Cheng Xiao Xiao, "Miss Cheng, we were a bit imprudent earlier, we hope you'd forgive us!"
"...." Cheng Xiao Xiao, who was preparing tea, casted him a glance but didn't respond. She merely walked inside the kitchen to bring the hot water out for tea.
Looking at her backside, Mu Qingtong's look was full of malice. When Cheng Xiao Xiao returned from the kitchen, none of the four were talking, and they all had a different look on them.
Quickly, Cheng Xiao Xiao finished preparing tea. She handed one out to each person and said nonchalantly, "Mythical tea made with mythical water. They are somewhat decent, I hope none of them will go to waste!"
"We will certainly enjoy the good tea!"
"I can't wait!"
"What an honor to be able to try the tea made with water from the mythical spring!"
