"The benefactor!!?"
"What happened to him? Why did he look so desperate?" a female voice rang as she saw the state of Zheng-Fu in front of them.
"Right... And where has the angel girl gone!?"
Huh...?
Boom!!!
As soon as a young man mentioned Qi-Fu-Er, Zheng-Fu's closed eyes opened. And there was a burst of terrifying psychic killing before it disappeared later.
Gulp!!!
In just the instant that the pressure on Zheng-Fu's psychic killing was released, the entire group had become extremely pale. But fortunately, it was only in one breath that it disappeared, letting everyone know what the thing was that they should not talk about. In particular, the young man who had spoken earlier was almost looking for something to cover his mouth now.
Flap!!!
"I have to apologize to all of you for what I did just now!" Suddenly, Zheng-Fu, who was kneeling on his knees, rose and apologized in a cold, lifeless voice.
"No, not at all. We're the ones who must apologize to you that we entered without permission," the young man, who was the group leader, immediately spoke up politely and humbly to satisfy Zheng-Fu by ignoring anything else.
"Never mind, but I still have to apologize." Zheng-Fu continued to insist on his words. He had now begun to regain some consciousness. After two full days of reliving his old memories with Qi-Fu-Er, until now, he began to understand what he should do next.
"If so, we have to excuse ourselves to farewell the benefactor first. We won't bother you anymore," the young man immediately said goodbye when he saw that Zheng-Fu did not blame them.
"Where are you guys about to go?" Zheng-Fu asked with a still expression on his face.
"We are going back to the outpost city that is adjacent to Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country. Our San-Hua Sect is located there," the young man clasped his hands and replied to Zheng-Fu.
"The Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country frontier?" Zheng-Fu thought for a moment when he heard the young man's answer, then continued, "So it's the same way. May I travel with you guys?" Zheng-Fu asked with a calm expression on his face.
"Yes… yes, alright, benefactor," the young man immediately agreed in a stuttering tone.
"You don't have to call me that. My name is Zheng-Fu... You can just call me Zheng-Fu." Zheng-Fu said with a slight smile.
Zheng-Fu's smile made the whole group feel a little more at ease, for it was a warm smile that could not be described. But they still had a bit of fear of Zheng-Fu's energy level and the monster beast beside him.
Once the agreement was settled, Zheng-Fu immediately sent Jin-Tian back into his space by using the same method of keeping other contractual monster beasts so as not to cause the young man and his group to doubt. Of course, no one really doubted; they could only make their faces so shocked that they forgot to doubt.
However, this was the first time the young man and his group had seen this method. They had only heard and read from textbooks. This caused all of them to be shocked and stunned to see it rather than doubt Zheng-Fu's actions. Anyway, soon all of them regained consciousness and began to doubt. But none of them dared to say or ask Zheng-Fu anything.
Finally, the morning voyage had passed. The dark night began to take its place...
Pop, pop! Pop, pop! (The sound of firewood burning)
After traveling all day, they all looked for a place to rest. Zheng-Fu chose the place himself. The place that he chose was close to the water source and moderately open, but there were still quite a few large trees. And there were not many monster beasts around. So, it was very suitable for setting up a place to rest. Combined with Zheng-Fu's strength, it was even more secure.
"Benefactor, this is the soup we boiled, sir," the young man, the group leader, walked over to Zheng-Fu with the soup bowl they had cooked from the vegetables they had picked. And he brought it to Zheng-Fu, who was meditating.
Huh...?
When Zheng-Fu opened his eyes, he saw that everyone in the group was staring at him as if they were about to win a prize. Then Zheng-Fu looked down at the bowl of soup in the young man's hand, alternating with everyone's faces. Then he said, "Thank you very much." Grab!!! When he finished speaking, he took the bowl of soup instantly.
Slurp!!!
Aaaaaaah!!
"So tasty!" Zheng-Fu swallowed a mouthful of soup while it was still hot, then exclaimed in satisfaction with the taste of the soup with a compliment.
Yay!!!
"He says that my soup is delicious!" the girl's voice rang out with joy upon hearing Zheng-Fu's compliment. And not everyone interrupted her because it was true. Even though she was a violent female, in regard to housework, she was not lacking in any way.
"But it seems a little too little!?" Zheng-Fu said as he finished the cup and still did not feel full. But suddenly, Zheng-Fu noticed that everyone's faces had turned sad after he had finished speaking, so he asked curiously with a confused face, "What's up? Or did I say something wrong?"
"You're not wrong, Young Master Zheng-Fu. It's little because that soup was the last bowl of soup we had," the young man explained to him why the soup was so little with a face that looked sad, including the others. They all had sad faces.
"I see... Don't have to make sad faces like the dogs have been hit like that. Here, meat and rice!!!"
Thump!!!
Wow!!!
When Zheng-Fu heard of the problem that made everyone's faces like that, he let out a smile. He took out a high-level monster beast meat and a sack of rice he had and piled them in front of him. When everyone saw that, everyone's faces changed into a wide grin, and they exclaimed with joy.
"That's meat... Meat... Really meat!!!"
"There's also a sack of rice!!!"
"With this many ingredients, we can live for many more meals. Even more, this piece of meat seems to be packed with nutrients," said the woman excitedly and happily, looking at the ingredients with sparkling eyes.
"Then you can make a delicious dish like the one you made just now for everyone to eat. Let everyone be satisfyingly full. I still have a lot. You don't have to be afraid that it'll run out," Zheng-Fu immediately said with a smile, telling the young woman to fully cook for everyone. He still had a lot of ingredients.
"Yes, sir!!!"
When the young woman heard that, she immediately started cooking, with the young men helping to prepare the ingredients and get some firewood to make the fire ready for cooking. Everyone looked very happy today.
"I'm Bao-Jin, a disciple of the San-Hua Sect. Thank you very much, Master Zheng-Fu, for helping us many times," Bao-Jin, the young man and leader of the group, clasped his hands together and bowed his sincere gratitude to Zheng-Fu politely.
"Don't think too much. That we met may be due to fate and destiny. I saved you all because of the fate that brought me. Don't overthink it. But all I want to know is, why did you all travel this far?" Zheng-Fu asked curiously why the young man's group had traveled around here, because, in reality, they were unlikely to venture all the way here.
The outpost city in the region of the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country was very far from here. Traveling was not a short time, plus their energy level was only at the Golden Core stage. If it was not important or necessary, no one would have thought of traveling this far, especially coming to an area filled with so many high-level monster beasts. It could be called coming straight to death.
"We… we've... we… Sigh... It's very embarrassing to say that. The reason we've traveled this far is that we've come to ask for help from the Elder Immortal Harp Master and the Elder Immortal Flute Master. But we didn't meet the two of them when we reached our destination. And I don't know where they go.
So we must hurry back to the sect to report this matter to the sectmaster."
The young man said with a sad and regretful expression that he could not complete the mission because this mission was extremely important to their sect. Hearing the words "Elder Immortal Harp Master" and "Elder Immortal Flute Master," Zheng-Fu was startled immediately before smiling.
"So it's like that… Can you tell me why you want to meet the two Elders, in case I can help you with something?" Zheng-Fu did not mention the fact that the two elders came to live with him for fear that the whole group would feel dissatisfied. Instead, he made up for it by asking if they needed help.
"Is that alright, Young Master Zheng-Fu!?" Bao-Jin asked in a cautious tone. But when he saw Zheng-Fu still smiling at him, Bao-Jin then went on to say, "Right now, our sect is being heavily pressured by the main sects within the city. That caused our sect to reach a very low point. Many disciples have resigned from the sect because they see that our San-Hua Sect will fall soon."
Bao-Jin said that with a furious expression on his face when talking about the big sects that had come together to pressure and force his sect. "It's not just putting pressure on us. They are also forcing our sect to close; otherwise they…"
"The food is done... Huh...? What are you talking about, Senior? Looks very serious," Suddenly, a female voice rang out as she walked towards the man's back. She could see Bao-Jin's tense face, so she asked curiously.
"Nothing, we're just talking about you. Your senior came to consult me about your mate. What should I do to find him for you?" Zheng-Fu said with a mischievous smile that appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ah!!!
Zheng-Fu's answer made Bao-Jin immediately startled, including the young woman as well. After she heard Zheng-Fu's words, her face turned red before stomping her feet hard and saying, "You crazy brother!!! You're selling my story!?" The young woman immediately yelled after she calmed herself down and arranged Zheng-Fu's words.
"Calm down, Bao-Er. I didn't bring up your case…"
"You don't have to make excuses. Aren't you always talking about me to other people? You told him about me this time. Are you thinking of selling your own sister?"
"It's nothing like that! I didn't do it!"
Ha ha ha!!!
