"Sigh... Unfortunately, such a good and competent person like Commander Huang-Gum-He has to stay here. If I could get soone like Master Huang-Gum-He to be my colleague, then... it would be very nice."
"Young Master, you're praising too much. I'm just an incompetent ex-commander, not as talented as Young Master said," Huang-Gum-He imdiately refused after hearing Zheng-Fu's words of admiration.
"Master Huang-Gum-He is too humble. If a person like you is called the incompetent one, what are we going to call this fat City Governor?" Zheng-Fu imdiately spoke up, referring to the fat City Governor, ignoring that he was also standing there.
"You!!!"
Zheng-Fu's words were even worse than slapping his face. It was as violent and embarrassing as stepping on his face with a foot. He was a City Governor who was revered, but now he was only treated like a worthless one.
"Alright, Master Huang-Gum-He, I can't say much about this matter. It's up to you to decide for yourself. But for , I think you are very talented. If you're interested in joining , you can contact through this communication talisman."
After speaking indirectly about inviting Huang-Gum-He to work with him, Zheng-Fu took out a communication talisman sheet and handed it over to him so that Huang-Gum-He could contact him. He then raised his hand in a gesture of saying goodbye.
"But now I have to say goodbye because I still have a place to go… See you later," Zheng-Fu did not want to talk more about it, so he imdiately excused himself without waiting for anyone's answer or caring about the fat City Governor at all.
Swish!!!
Zheng-Fu's figure quickly disappeared from that spot. And in the blink of an eye, he had already left the city. He ca to mingle with the crowd of people who were waiting suspiciously, with a loud noise inquiring as to what exactly happened in the city.
"The sound of an explosion just now… Or is it the sound of the clash with the Frenzy Shark Pirates?"
"That's crazy, that bastard's fleet is two hundred lis from the city. How can they move in so quickly?"
"Then what sound is it?"
"How could I know? Why don't you try yelling at the guards up there!?"
No one could figure out what was going on. But now, the faces of the young n and young won who wanted to go to the Artsy Water Sect were already full of wrinkles because if it were true, as many people said, then they would not be able to participate in the sect's disciple examination in ti.
That was because to get to the Artsy Water Sect, they had to take a ship from here to another port city, then continue on about two hundred lis by horse carriage before going on foot to enter the Artsy Water Sect, which took almost two days.
So, they could only be stuck here for half a day. Otherwise, they would not catch up on this test and have to wait for the next test again next year.
As for Zheng-Fu, he needed not to take part in the test to be the disciple this ti, so there was no problem with him at all. But anyway, he did not want to waste ti like this either.
"Brother, aside from this city, where else can I take a ship to the Artsy Water Sect?" asked Zheng-Fu, who suddenly appeared beside a young man.
Ah!!!
"Brother, when did you co here!? I'm totally shocked. Next ti, you've got to make a noise, or I'll have a heart attack and die... But just now, what did you ask ?" The young man had a shocked expression. Because he was interested in listening to other people, he did not notice anything around him.
"Hehe! I have to apologize. I asked you if there was any place that I could take the ship to the Artsy Water Sect besides here?" Zheng-Fu repeated his question to the young man.
"Um… There is a place, but…" The young man had a thoughtful look on his face, and he was very reluctant to speak out as if he was afraid of sothing.
"But what?" Zheng-Fu imdiately asked back when he knew there was another way to go.
"But the shipowner is insane, Brother."
"Yes, yes, yes, I've been there once too, but I was really nervous because of that old man."
"I'm the sa... Having said that, I still have resentnt."
"Um... As you heard, Brother. That old man was not completely sane. Very few people can go there safely without being bullied by that old man," replied the young man, explaining to Zheng-Fu a little more about that elder.
"Ah... From what I've heard from Brother, this old man should be quite a problem. Anyway, I need to go to the Artsy Water Sect, so it's worth giving it a try. Brother, show the path to go to that old man, please," Zheng-Fu clasped his hands up and said modestly.
"Sigh... I understand and I already warned you. But if you want to go, I'll give you directions to where that old man is," the young man had a sympathetic and pitiful face as he looked at Zheng-Fu. But thinking that it was not bad for him to tell him, the young man gave Zheng-Fu the place where the elder lived.
"Thank you, Brother. I'll excuse myself now."
"Good luck, Brother. I hope you will succeed."
Um...
After knowing that elder's address, Zheng-Fu did not hesitate and imdiately rushed out. The place where the elder stayed was not far from this port city; only about a hundred lis to the west would be reached.
Ten minutes had passed...
Finally, Zheng-Fu arrived at the place the young man had told him about. There was a house next to the sea, and there was a ship, neither too small nor too large, moored. Not far from the house was an elder, between the ages of sixty and seventy, exercising by lifting a large log up and down in a comfortable manner.
Thump!!!
Phew!!!
"I sweat really well. Alright, it's ti to find human at to eat," the elder suddenly put the log on the ground, then turned to look at Zheng-Fu while he was licking his mouth.
"I'd like to know how many humans Elder wants to eat?" Zheng-Fu knew this elder was teasing him. And he also liked to grate on the other's nerves, so he teased the elder back.
Huh...?
'This youngster is not normal at all. Even when I let go of this much pressure and psychic killing, he's still smiling and asking back,' the elder was slightly shocked to see that Zheng-Fu did not show any fear or panic when he saw his face. He did not even feel the pressure and psychic killing he released, and he even asked him back.
"Ha ha ha! Kid, you're quite daring to ask such a question, but I'm also the one who can't deny anyone. Then let take ten of them, alright?" The elder thought that the youth in front of him must have pretended not to be afraid, so he decided to test him once more.
"Alright, Elder. I'll go get you ten people... Earlier, I t a group of villagers. There were children, old people, and won, of whom there were not quite a few. I'll go catch them for you to eat. I believe you'll like it because these people are easier to eat than n," Zheng-Fu still replied to the elder with the sa smile without showing any fear.
Huh!!!
The elder even turned pale suddenly upon hearing Zheng-Fu's words before hurriedly speaking anxiously, "No, I don't want to eat anymore, I'm tired of it... I forgot that I'd just had a full al. Look... my stomach is so big, you see?" said the elder, opening his large belly for Zheng-Fu to see. Actually, the elder had just finished eating, but what he ate was not human.
It was the aquatic monster beast that made the elder's stomach big like this.
"It's alright if you're full now. Elder can keep it and eat it later... You wait for here. I'll hurry to catch those villagers for you," Zheng-Fu already knew that the elder would have to say this, but he still thought of teasing the elder back as well, so Zheng-Fu kept saying that he was going to capture the villagers.
"No, no, no, I don't want them anymore. You don't have to go, kid. If you take even one step away, I'll catch you and eat instead!" the elder's expression turned fierce and threatened, stopping him from capturing the villagers.
"You'll catch and eat?" Zheng-Fu made a slightly shocked face before laughing, "Ha ha ha," then continued, "Elder, I guess you can't do that," Zheng-Fu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Kid, what do you an by that?" The elder was extrely puzzled by Zheng-Fu's words just now.
"I an this."
Swish!!!
When Zheng-Fu finished speaking, his figure, which was several pings away, suddenly disappeared and then appeared in front of the elder. The elder cursed, 'Ah!!!' and jumped back before setting up a stance to prepare with familiarity.
"Kid!!!" The elder was speechless except for a short exclamation, along with so sweat that poured out of his forehead.
"Actions have more anings than words," Zheng-Fu said briefly as well, with a friendly smile and a polite expression.
Sigh...
The elder let out a long sigh. Then he cald himself down and returned to the sa again after realizing that Zheng-Fu only wanted to tell him the difference in their energies. But what made the elder feel the most exhausted was Zheng-Fu's overbearing abilities.
"Kid, your abilities are just too much… You're definitely from a large sect. Could you please tell this elder who you are?" The elder, who had previously looked like a madman, had now turned into a very majestic and respected person.
"...? I'm not from any sect. And I'm not a famous person in any way. I'm only a person of the Blueland."
Huh...?
