"Then, Young Master, please tell the new conditions proposal." Although reluctant, the elder still had to ask to hear if it was possible.
"What I can give you is the high-level Purple Heavenly Crystals in the amount you request and general-level energy booster pills. But Deity Soul stage breaking-through pills, I can't find them for you. The most I can give is the advanced Heavenly Star stage. As for weapons and armor, one hundred sets of Marvelous Level I can give you, Primitive Level I can only give ten sets. And the highest level I can give is only one set of high Legendary Level. As for the right to beco a Heavenly Command Sect disciple, I can't give it to you. Because I'm not a Sectmaster. Everyone who wants to beco a disciple of the Heavenly Command Sect must go through the sa testing process."
Zheng-Fu had reduced the elder's offer in many things. So of them he kept on his request because they were easy to find and he had a lot of them. But Immortal Level weapons and armor were not sothing that anyone would easily give away. Even though he had a lot of them, he would never give them to these people.
Ah!
After the elder listened to Zheng-Fu's new proposal, his expression seed to darken significantly. Because the things that were reduced were all rare and precious. Moreover, the right to beco the Heavenly Command Sect disciples of ten people per village was very important. If a large number of their villagers could beco disciples of the Heavenly Command Sect, their power would increase and eventually surpass the four major clans or the high-ranking clans of Comrade City.
"I can give you this much. If you don't agree, we have nothing more to say," Zheng-Fu said with a shrug. He did not need to reconcile with these people. He really wanted to say that even if he did not use those keys, he would be able to enter the secret land. Because it was the secret land of the Fire Bird Monster Deity.
"Then I need a mont. Please allow to contact the other village chiefs to discuss this proposal again. And during that ti, Young Master Zheng-Fu, please wait at…"
"I'll let you all co to your conclusions again. And I'll co back tomorrow to hear the answer. And I'll regard it as the final answer!" Zheng-Fu gave the elders and other village chiefs another opportunity to consult. Because he thought it was ti for him to return to Comrade City.
Umm!
"Then all right, sir! No matter what the answer is tomorrow, I hope it won't affect our relationship in the future." The elder did not know what to say right now. But he felt good about having one more day to decide. He would do his best to get the other village chiefs to accept Zheng-Fu's offer. Although so items would be reduced, they might be able to find them in the future.
"You don't have to worry. I have said before that this is a private exchange. I don't force you. Therefore, no matter what the outco is, it'll not affect us at all. You can rest assured!" Zheng-Fu understood the elder's aning. He knew that the elder was trying his best not to displease him. Therefore, Zheng-Fu was very sympathetic to the elder.
After leaving the elder's village, Zheng-Fu and Fei-Shi-Fei only took a short journey back to Comrade City. Along the way, Zheng-Fu told Fei-Shi-Fei about the secret land and the deal he had made with the village chiefs. And he said he would take care of the whole thing himself. He would be in charge of talking to all clan leaders and doing as he promised.
"Nephew, don't worry. I believe everyone will agree. Even if so people disagree with you, Master Niao-Chen, Master Chong-Ge-Bo, and I will agree with you!" Fei-Shi-Fei understood the situation. Therefore, he would support and help Zheng-Fu in everything to make things work out well.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Shi-Fei. Therefore, I'd like to leave the matter of the eting with you. I'd like to go see Big Brother first. Because I must continue my journey soon," Zheng-Fu said. He felt grateful that Fei-Shi-Fei's help made everything so much easier.
Umm!!!
When Zheng-Fu separated from Fei-Shi-Fei, he ca to see Da-Ge at the couple's new house. Da-Ge was now with Zhu-Qi in their private garden. The couple looked very happy during this ti.
"Dear, please excuse for a mont. It seems Second Brother has sothing he wants to discuss with ." At that mont, Da-Ge sensed Zheng-Fu standing in front of his house, waiting for him. But Zheng-Fu did not co inside. So, he thought that Zheng-Fu probably had sothing he wanted to discuss with him.
"Well, you can go. As for , I'll go prepare food for you and Young Master Zheng-Fu." Zhu-Qi understood Da-Ge's aning. She thought of going into the kitchen to prepare their food. So that Da-Ge could talk to Zheng-Fu privately.
Umm!
At the entrance to Zhu-Qi and Da-Ge's house...
Flap!
"Why don't you co inside, Second Brother?"
"I don't want to disturb you and Sister-in-law. That's why I'm waiting here for you, Big Brother!" Zheng-Fu smiled and replied to Da-Ge in a warm tone.
"Do you have any problem? Let's go inside and talk first." Da-Ge sensed that Zheng-Fu must have been worried about sothing. Because Zheng-Fu normally did not have this kind of expression. And Da-Ge thought that the matter Zheng-Fu wanted to talk about had to be very important.
"It's all right, Big Brother. I just ca to tell you that I must depart. It might take a month or two. So, I ca to say goodbye to you." Zheng-Fu did not have much ti, so he did not want to speak obliquely.
"Depart!? Where are you going? And why are you in such a hurry?" Da-Ge was shocked that Zheng-Fu said he was about to depart. Because Da-Ge was not ready to leave. He just got married and had not done many things yet.
"I have sothing to pursue that concerns my future. As for you, you can stay here to take care of Sister-in-law. Anyway, I'll have to co back here when I have finished my errands." Zheng-Fu knew what Da-Ge was thinking. So, he told Da-Ge to wait for him here. He would go alone.
Hah!
"But..."
"Don't worry, Big Brother. Now I'm at the Deity Apprentice stage. Even Macaque cannot fight . Then who can fight in this world? I can walk anywhere. So, you should stay here. You and Sister-in-law just got married. You should be happy and give Sister-in-law a lot of happiness. Besides, you must hurry and have children!"
Zheng-Fu did not want to take away Da-Ge's happiness. He did not want Da-Ge to be like him. He, therefore, wanted Da-Ge to continue living happily. And if possible, he did not want Da-Ge to go with him to Deity Land either. Because the young man actually did not need to go there.
"Second Brother, you still have , you still have Ba-Ong, and there are many others to back you up. Don't bear everything alone. Everyone can help you if you just say it." Da-Ge knew that Zheng-Fu had to carry a lot of feelings. And he knew that Zheng-Fu liked to do things alone without telling anyone. Even though he had many people around him, he never entrusted the truly burdenso things to others.
"I know! But this is sothing only I can do. Besides, I'm not stupid enough to face danger alone. Don't worry. Go back and take care of your Lady!" Zheng-Fu knew what Da-Ge wanted to convey. He admitted that he used to have that tendency. But now he had changed. Otherwise, he would not have adopted Ba-Ong, Da-Ge, and others to join his team.
Blop!
"Take care of yourself, Second Brother!" Seeing that he could not say anything else, Da-Ge did not think about stopping Zheng-Fu anymore. He would support and trust Zheng-Fu and wish him good luck.
"Thank you, Big Brother! I have to go. I still have one more thing to do before leaving." Zheng-Fu smiled and nodded lightly to Da-Ge before excusing himself and leaving to take care of the matters the village chiefs had requested.
At the main hall of Erald Wolf Clan...
"I must apologize to all of you for summoning you all here now. But I have sothing to announce to everyone. There are three matters. Firstly, from today on, the six suburban villages will also be under the protection of the Heavenly Command Sect. Secondly, I want you all to accept the six villages as part of Comrade City. And thirdly, I'll give tenth-level dicine to the clan that accepts these proposals. As for any clan that doesn't accept them, I'll remove you from Heavenly Command Sect's protection from now on. Does anyone have any questions?"
Zheng-Fu imdiately started the eting once all the clan leaders who had participated in building and developing the city had gathered together. He only had three things to say. Two of the three proposals were requests. For the third one, it seed to be compulsory that they could not deny the first two.
Huh!
"What is this all about? Why must we accept them?"
"True, Young Master Zheng-Fu! They didn't help us at all. But they still dare to take advantage of us. We can't accept this!"
"We've worked so hard to bring the city to stability and progress to this day. And how could they take advantage without doing anything at all!"
"And the third point you said, it's clearly compulsory!"
As Zheng-Fu finished speaking, several top clan leaders imdiately argued. Many people were very upset that Zheng-Fu said this. And they considered that it was not fair at all.
"I agree with Nephew Zheng-Fu. By the way, may I ask, what did we do? So what did they steal from us? Protected rights? Huh! You guys or even I did not make it happen. It's Nephew Zheng-Fu who makes it happen! So, if Nephew Zheng-Fu wants to bring in soone or expel soone, we have no right to say anything to him!" Fei-Shi-Fei comnted angrily with these high-ranking clan leaders.
"That's right, as Master Fei-Shi-Fei said. Since the beginning, the city has grown and developed to this extent, it has been we, the four major clans, who have helped each other. Even though your clans did contribute, it wasn't much. Besides, if we weren't protected by the Heavenly Command Sect, do you think those villages would want to join us? Not at all! It's all because of Nephew Zheng-Fu!" Niao-Chen also agreed with Fei-Shi-Fei. He understood the reason for this situation. So, he agreed with everything.
"Although I'm sowhat dissatisfied with this matter, after I used my brain to think more than my arm muscles, I understood what it should be like. Therefore, I agree with everything Nephew Zheng-Fu proposed!" Even the muscular middle-aged man like Chong-Ge-Bo agreed on this matter. That made three of the four strong and main decision-making voices in the city to be on Zheng-Fu's side.
Sigh!!!
"For , whatever! After all, this matter has only good and very good results. Not only will we receive tenth-level dicine, but Comrade City will also beco stronger. This ans that our Comrade City will be bigger and more expansive. Not only that, but perhaps the Heavenly Command Sect branch could be established here. And when that ti cos, it will probably be... Oh! You all try to think about it!"
Hah!
Long-Qi-Hao, whom Zheng-Fu thought would be the leader to oppose this matter, instead agreed without arguing at all. Moreover, his words made many people, who were dissatisfied and wanted to protest, think and see a brighter future if they accepted this matter.
