Lu Siyu composed himself, not wanting Tang Fei and Little Fatty to notice his unusual demeanor.

Little Fatty probably wouldn't notice, but Tang Fei...

This guy is too perceptive.

Though they'd never discussed it, never talked about the children burned in that fire...

Yet, bearing another life and living forcefully, doesn't he feel the burden too heavy?

He's shouldered far too much.

"Even if we're able to smoothly send him back home, what about the doctor? Would Doctor Qin Luo be willing to go to the Barren Land to treat people?" Lu Siyu expressed his doubt.

Doctor Qin Luo is renowned worldwide, with countless people seeking his medical help daily... Doesn't Phoenix City have patients he wants to treat?

Moreover, with their relationship with the Shen Family and their blockade of the Barren Land, entering it would be tantamount to betrayal...

Why would he risk losing his reputation to save someone irrelevant to him?

"Doctors have compassionate hearts. We'll appeal to reason and emotion; I believe we can persuade Doctor Qin Luo to make the trip."

"What if we can't persuade him?"

"Then we'll just kidnap him," Tang Fei said matter-of-factly.

"..."

That is so Tang Fei.

Upon hearing that Tang Fei and Lu Siyu were planning to send the old man to the Barren Land for treatment, Little Fatty insisted on accompanying them.

Tang Fei advised, "Little Fatty, you should stay here... the troops of the Barbarian Clan still need your leadership. If anything happens, you can be of great help."

Normally obedient to Tang Fei, Little Fatty was surprisingly resolute this time, looking at Tang Fei with a serious expression and said, "Bro... since we came to New Star, I've hardly seen godfather... even when I did, we barely got to speak."

"Now he's like this; if I'm not there to watch over him, not ensuring he's sent to a safe place... would I still be human?"

"Bro, whatever happens out there, I don't know how long this fight will last... you tell me to fight, I fight; you tell me who to fight, I fight them..."

"But I want godfather to live... I want both you and godfather to be well."

Little Fatty's eyes reddened, voice choked, "I preferred living on Hate Mountain, even though we didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes, having to smash stones every day..."

"But back then, you and godfather were both fine... the three of us were together every day..."

"Bro... I want to return to those days... to wake up every day to see both you and godfather... then I feel so at ease, I'm afraid of nothing."

"..."

Hearing Little Fatty's words, Tang Fei was silent for a long time.

Little Fatty wanted to return to living on Hate Mountain, what about himself?

He walked this path with caution, treading on thin ice.

With the slightest misstep, he'd face utter destruction.

The mutant beasts on Hate Mountain were terrifying, but he had the confidence within to kill them.

The enemies on New Star are more formidable, because facing them, he actually has no confidence at all...

They can determine his fate.

But, to go back?

Is it possible to go back?

Tang Fei's gaze became profound and determined.

There's no going back.

Be it the old land or Hate Mountain, they were merely stops along life's journey...

Forward, and forward again.

Only by reaching the highest summit can one see the most dazzling view.

He no longer existed alone; behind him were many, many people...

He must take responsibility for their lives and fates.

Including Little Fatty.

Those who follow him, do they not have parents, spouses, children? Do they not have family, friends, brothers?

In this world, who isn't carrying burdens while moving forward?

"Bro, let me go with you, let me stay with godfather..."

Little Fatty pleaded sorrowfully.

Actually, he harbored one thought: if godfather could be saved, it would be a great joy.

If godfather couldn't be saved, this would also serve as his last journey...

"Alright, I promise you," Tang Fei nodded strongly, looking at Little Fatty, "We'll send godfather home together."

"Okay," Little Fatty wiped away his tears, spoke happily, "Thank you, bro..."

Worried he might upset Tang Fei with his defiance, he quickly explained, "Bro, rest assured, I'll leave the Iron-eating Beast Legion to Bo Gu."

"He used to be the Barbarian Clan leader, and those Barbarians listen to him... actually, he's more suited to be the Clan Leader."

Tang Fei sighed gently, thinking, this silly kid...

Of course, I know Bo Gu is more suited to be the Clan Leader, he even has the demeanor of a Barbarian Clan leader...

You, being fair and plump, any Barbarian warrior who sees you might question whether your bloodline is pure.

Luckily, most Barbarians are dim-witted, unable to fathom such profound issues...

The reason I made you Clan Leader is that you're my most trusted brother, and I need to keep this indestructible Iron-eating Beast Legion firmly within my grasp.

If handed to Bo Gu, or rather the Bo Gu from before, Tang Fei wouldn't be reassured.

However, after some time getting acquainted, Little Fatty also conquered the Barbarian warriors with his innate divine power, making them realize how formidable their Chaotic Power is...

Presumably, they wouldn't entertain any thoughts of rebellion.

At crucial moments, Little Fatty's identity plays a major role.

If they betray me, it'd be equivalent to betraying Little Fatty, which doesn't hold up legally.

"Alright, let Bo Gu take over," Tang Fei nodded, "And promote Man Niu to assist Bo Gu."

"Bro, why?"

"Just do it," Tang Fei didn't wish to explain too much, dismissing with, "You see, every legion has a primary and secondary leader; more assistants will be added in the future... When Bo Gu is away leading the battles, doesn't he need someone to help manage affairs behind?"
