ch 345 – The Event of the Statue; Saving Someone (2)
“Mm… . ”1
For their own safety, Cheng Xiao Xiao decided not to exposer the secret of her dimension . Once the decision was made, Cheng Xiao Xiao looked up slowly and apologetically at them and said, “Abbess, I thought about it for a while and really couldn’t figure out what it was . I am not what else we can do at this point!”
“This… . ”
The two of them exchanged a look; it was a hard to swallow answer . After all, they came a long ways to seek an answer, but ended up with nothing .
Luckily, they were a monk and a nun, and they didn’t lose it right away . Contrarily, the two of them went into deep thoughts .
They couldn’t help but remembered Elder Ying’s words – if you want to breakthrough to become martial monarch, you must join the Cheng’s clan . Could that really be the reason?
At that moment in time, the two belonging to the Nine Top Sects felt very hesitant . They were too prideful to be someone’s servant, let along the senior elders in the sect!
Cheng Xiao Xiao did not elaborate any more . Since she had already made up her mind, she had no reason to say anything anymore . The only thing she didn’t know was the hint that was given by Elder Ying previously .
In the end, the two of them were not able to make a decision . And most definitely, they were not able to make any decisions for their senior elders . The two of them finally bid Cheng Xiao Xiao farewell and took off .
Cheng Xiao Xiao felt very relieved after their departure . She was quite worried that they would be persistent and squat there; then she really wouldn’t know what to do with them .
She returned to her kiosk located in the entrance of her Yuteng Pavillion and immediately found Mo Xuanzun there carving at something with a small knife .
That piqued Cheng Xiao Xiao’s interest right away and she couldn’t help but to walk over there . The one who heard her arrival didn’t even look up but just said, “Xiao Xiao, give me a few more minutes, I am almost done!”
“Oh? What is it?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao as she walked over to him . She saw that he has a piece of white jade (“sheep fat jade”) in his left hand and a dagger gleaming with cold light dancing in his right . She couldn’t tell what he was doing .

After she was standing behind him, she could finally tell that the white jade in his hand was carved into a statue . And the most surprised part was that the statue was her . She was immediately fond of it .
In order to not distract him, she walked over to one side and sat down . She couldn’t help but thought how he had been following her around shamelessly the last few days . Albeit he could be annoying to have around, but now she was antsy without behind around him .
Was that what you call a habit?
She has heard of feelings that derived strictly from a form of habit!
After a long while, he finally stopped what he was doing . Looking at the little human statue in his hand, he smiled contently . He scrubbed the statue gently with the sleeve of his white robe as if it was some sort of treasure .
Cheng Xiao Xiao, sitting and leaning against the side of the kiosk, witnessed all that . She faked an annoyed look and said, “Show it to me . What did you carve?”
“It’s my baby… . ” Replied Mo Xuanzun as he burst into a smile after cleaning up the jade statue . As though offering up some sort of a treasure, he handed it over to her, “Take a look, Xiao Xiao, and let me know if you like it!”
The smooth jade with a slight chill to the touch felt very nice in her hand; it was obviously a jade of good quality . She took a closer look and, sure enough, it was a statue of her . It was very lively and detailed, even her brows was very defined . It was obvious that the tool was quite handy with his hand .
“It’s acceptable!”
The smiling Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded and with a flirtatious look, she said, “Who said you can crave me? This is an infringement on my portrait right, you know that? I am confiscating this!”
“What confiscating, Xiao Xiao? It was meant to be a gift to you to begin with!” said the grinning Mo Xuanzun .
