"Hah? Yo... you... You're that renowned Young Master Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu?" Zheng-Fu also had great acting. He shouted with a shocked expression, staring at the young man.
As soon as he saw Zheng-Fu shouting, the young man rushed towards Zheng-Fu and immediately covered Zheng-Fu's mouth with his hand. He also placed a finger from another hand on his mouth, letting out a soft voice to stop Zheng-Fu, and said, "Keep quiet; otherwise, the others will know. I'm a famous young man. Those who are crazy about me would rush to me."
Hmm!
Hearing that, Zheng-Fu immediately nodded. And when the young man saw that, he slowly let go of his hand while turning to look left and right and let out a sigh of relief.
"I won't make any noise, Young Master. But can I have your signature, please? I've admired you for a long time. And the reason I came to this city is that I wanted to meet you!" Zheng-Fu immediately played the part he wrote himself.
"My signature? Oh... you mean my handwriting, right?" the young man was slightly puzzled by the word 'signature.' But when he thought about it, he understood that it meant handwriting.
"Ah, ah, ah, that's what I wanted to say. Sigh... I'm such a dumb one for talking nonsense. Young Master Zheng-Fu, please don't be offended," Zheng-Fu scolded himself and sincerely apologized to the young man.
"It's alright, Brother. I'm not mad at you... Well, let's go into the city. Don't waste your time standing here. Let's go get something to eat first. I'll pay for this meal," the young man waved his hand dismissively before changing the topic, inviting Zheng-Fu and the others to enter the city instead.
"That's good. We are getting hungry," Hai-Dong suddenly interrupted them before he continued, "I don't know if Young Master Zheng-Fu would mind if we were with you?" Hai-Dong had a humble expression towards the fake Zheng-Fu and turned to smile at the real Zheng-Fu.
"Oh! No, not at all, Brother. I don't mind. Alright, let's go into the city. Standing here for a long time, there'll be creditors—ah, officers—ah, jealous bastards harassing us," the young man seemed to have said a few words wrongly. However, he still showed a normal expression while smiling at Zheng-Fu's group, as if what he was saying was just a joke.
Ah!!!
Having finished speaking, the young man immediately led them towards the city gates.
Seeing the young man walking in, the two guards gave the young man a mischievous smile once before walking straight to Zheng-Fu's group and saying, "You guys are so lucky to walk with this kind and virtuous Young Master Zheng-Fu." Finished with their words, they turned around and smiled at the fake Zheng-Fu once more.
"Oh! You guys complimented me too much. I'm just an ordinary person who loves justice. By the way, since you praise me like this, I won't be able to not reward you," the young man acted slightly embarrassed and said humbly. Then he reached into his robe and took out a small bag and threw it over to the two guards.
"Thank you very much, Young Master Zheng-Fu, for being so kind to us. Then, please enjoy your travel in the city." The two guards took the money bag and spread their hands, inviting the young man and Zheng-Fu's group to enter the city without any further investigation.
"Thank you very much." The young man bowed slightly to thank them. However, his face was smiling happily at the two soldiers. But this action could not escape the sights of Zheng-Fu and the elder, as well as Hai-Dong, not even a single bit.
Once all the issues in entering the city were settled, the young man immediately led Zheng-Fu and the group into the city happily. Along the way, he was humming. And their first target was a tavern not far away.
(More explanation for anyone wondering: before reaching the city, Zheng-Fu had already kept the naughty three in order not to panic the people of the city. As for the power level, it was already normal for Zheng-Fu to never reveal it to anyone. And as for the others, Zheng-Fu gave them some pills to hide their energy.)
"It's here, Brother. This tavern is where we're going to stop for a bite to eat before we walk around the city." When they arrived at a building that was three stories high and had people constantly coming in and out, he immediately told Zheng-Fu that they had reached the restaurant he had told him about.
"Wow!!! This tavern is huge. I think the food will be so tasty," Zheng-Fu saw that the young man wanted to show off, so he did not hesitate to play the role of a country boy entering the city for the first time when he saw the tavern in front of him.
"Of course, Brother. The food of this restaurant is the tastiest, especially the red mushroom liquor and black rice liquor. They are the best," the young man whispered into Zheng-Fu's ear and immediately described the taste of foods and liquors to Zheng-Fu merrily.
"Just hearing it makes my saliva flow... Let's hurry in. I'm hungry!" Zheng-Fu continued his role unceasingly, and his acting was very good.
Um...
"Welcome to Zhou-Tian Restaurant, Young Master," as soon as the door of the tavern opened, the waiter's welcome voice rang out as the waiter's figure rushed towards them. And when he saw who the person was, his face immediately changed.
The waiter's face changed from polite to evil in the blink of an eye, with a smile twitching at the corner of his mouth like the two previous guards. Zheng-Fu and his gang noticed that as well and realized that the waiter was also one of the young man's team.
"Um! Can you provide me with the best food and the most delicious liquor?" after smiling at each other, the young man immediately started to order food. Then he turned to look at Zheng-Fu and the others and said, "Let's go inside. I have a regular seat. I can assure you that the view is beautiful," said the young man with a sly smile on his lips.
"Really, Young Master Zheng-Fu? Then that's good because I'm starving." Zheng-Fu realized that every young man's words were just deception, but he still played the same role as before.
After agreeing, the young man immediately led Zheng-Fu to the special room he had prepared. This room was on the top floor of this restaurant. And it was also a room that had been beautifully decorated. Moreover, they could also see views of the city as well.
"Brother... You and your friend can go into the room and wait for me. I'm going to run some personal errands for a moment, then I'll be back. During that time, you guys can eat first," arriving at the front of the room, the young man immediately excused himself to go out to run his personal errands.
"Alright, but if you come back late, the food will probably run out," Zheng-Fu immediately nodded and responded, joking with the young man as if nothing had happened.
"Ha ha ha, you guys can rest and relax. If it's all gone before I come back, I can order more," the young man laughed as if it was nothing. Then he walked back the same way he had come.
Zheng-Fu and his group entered the room in front of them. And soon after that, the food that was ordered was brought up and served very promptly. It was as if it had been prepared for a long time. After the waiters had finished setting up the food, they hurriedly left without a word.
"Brother, why haven't you shown up yourself yet? It should be enough to finish teasing him at this point," when there was no one but them, Hai-Dong asked immediately.
"Right, Young Master. Why haven't you revealed who you really are?" Song-Lun thought the same as Hai-Dong. He was very curious as to why Zheng-Fu had to hide his true identity.
"Ha ha ha, it's fun, isn't it? Hmm… If I revealed myself quickly, how would I know who was involved in the movement with him? If I hurriedly revealed, all the snakes would panic," Zheng-Fu laughed heartily as he told everyone his true reason.
"I expected it, a kid like you... sigh... that young man is so pitiful to meet such a devil kid like you," even Elder Hai-Tu could not help but feel pity for the young man. And he could not help but admire Zheng-Fu as well for his intelligence, which was too amazing for a child of this age.
"Elder, you've reprimanded me too much... Am I a devil? I'm so handsome and kind, so how could I be a devil?" Zheng-Fu saw that Elder Hai-Tu was taunting him, so he did not hesitate to get on the Elder's nerves immediately.
Tsk! The elder snorted before continuing, "Kid, there's poison in these foods. I don't know what kind of poison it is. So, how are you going to do this?" The elder sensed the unpleasant smell of the food, and he immediately knew that the food was poisonous. So, he quickly informed everyone and asked Zheng-Fu what to do next.
"I already know that these foods are poisonous and what kind of poison they are. It's not a serious poison, just a hallucinogenic poison, and it makes the person who eats it feel dizzy, and then they will pass out. But don't worry, I already have an antidote for this kind of poison."
Finished speaking, Zheng-Fu took out a small stalk of grass the size of half a pinkie finger from the inside of his robe. But actually, he picked it up from his dimensional space.
"Huh... What's that?"
"This one is called Substance-Dissolving Grass. It can resist these types of poisons. And it also helps to make the poison in food and liquor unable to do anything to us. So, after eating the Substance-Dissolving Grass, we'll be able to eat all the food on the table," Zheng-Fu explained its features to everyone before immediately handing the Substance-Dissolving Grass to them.
Everyone immediately put it in their mouths after receiving it. Then the three young men of the Song family were the first to have a look on their faces that was changing to miserable. And later it was Hai-Dong. Even the Elder, who had gone through a lot of experience, had a tortured expression on his face.
As for Zheng-Fu, needless to say, he was a person who hated bitterness the most. But he ate some of the mixtures with it without letting anyone know. So, he did not feel the bitterness in Substance-Dissolving Grass at all, causing his face to not show the same expression as the others.
"Don't you feel bitter, kid?" Elder Hai-Tu asked suspiciously.
"It's bitter, but the ancient saying says, 'Sweet is harm; bitter is healing,' so I like to eat bitter things," Zheng-Fu replied to the Elder with a smile as he chewed Substance-Dissolving Grass.
