After getting everything he wanted, Zheng-Fu went to buy a few things, such as herbs and rice, to bring back to the clan. And, of course, before he left, Zheng-Fu had arranged an excellent gift for the City Lord. And besides, he also prepared another set for Xiao-Jiang.
His gift would make her auction house even more famous and grand. When he had already managed to deliver the gifts, Zheng-Fu, Qi-Fu-Er, and the two young women that Zheng-Fu hired to be music teachers immediately left In-See City and headed back to the Tian-Tang Clan.
While the discussions about politics were ongoing in the City Lord's mansion, the sentry in charge of reporting rushed in hurriedly, carrying a small wooden box.
Thump, thump, thump!!!
"Dear City Lord, I have something sent from Young Master Zheng-Fu, sir."
Huh!!!?
Everyone in the meeting hall looked at the sentry who had reported in unison. They all had a suspicious look at the box in his hand.
"A gift? Such a small box?" a fat man who looked arrogant and boastful said, looking disdainful as he looked at the small wooden box.
"Master Da-Da, you'd better not look down on what Master Zheng-Fu gave. A person in his class wouldn't be giving anything that's nonsense!" The middle-aged man who had brought the gift of City Lord to Zheng-Fu spoke up with a disgusted look on his face at the fat man named Da-Da.
"Huh! Master Yun-Zhang spoke as if you knew what was inside. And even if it's a valuable thing, how valuable will it be?" said the fat man, stretching his neck, which could barely be seen as the area was filled with many precious ornaments.
Tsk!!!
"Master Da-Da, don't be angry with my younger brother. But it's like my brother said, the things that Young Master Zheng-Fu gives to anyone, I don't think they would be ordinary things." Suddenly, another middle-aged man sitting next to Yun-Zhang interrupted, as if to apologize on behalf of his younger brother, but still confirmed his words.
"Alright, you should stop arguing. Bring that wooden box, and we'll find out what's inside." Lao-Ying-Ba hurriedly interjected, seeing that the two of them were going to have a saliva war because either side had all the important people. So he instantly spoke up and told the sentry to bring him a wooden box to open for everyone to see.
Creak!!! (The sound of opening the box)
Huh... A ring!?
Once the wooden box had opened, everyone found a ring inside it. It did not look special or have any gems adorning it. That made the fat man smile at the corner of his mouth, preparing to speak but having to shut up when he saw the strange face of the City Lord staring at the ring.
"Is this a dimensional ring, isn't it?"
Dimensional ring!!!?
"That's right, it's a dimensional ring. But let me check what's inside," said Lao-Ying-Ba, as he sent his psychic into the spatial ring to check what was inside it. But once he put his psychic to it, "Ah… This is... !!!" Lao-Ying-Ba's face immediately turned shocked and he gasped when he realized what was inside.
Lao-Ying-Ba's expression caused the fat man to feel very irritated. He wanted to know what was inside the dimensional ring, so he could not help asking. "What's inside the ring, My Lord!!!?" he asked with a curious face.
Aaah!!!
Hearing Da-Da's voice, Lao-Ying-Ba regained consciousness. He hurriedly wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, took a big breath, and said, "In this dimensional ring, there were a thousand medium-level stones, Iron Earth Ore, Flowing Back Water Ore, Magma Fire Ore, and Swirling Storm Ore one hundred of each.
And there are dozens of high-level monster beast corpses." Lao-Ying-Ba spoke with a calm expression and a flat voice.
Unlike Lao-Ying-Ba, the listeners were not calm because everything that Lao-Ying-Ba mentioned was extremely vulnerable, whether they were medium-level Qi energy stones, the four ores of the four elements, or dozens of high-level monster beast corpses. There was no need to calculate how vulnerable they were.
"Is... is that true, City Lord!?" Yun-Zhang asked with a shocked look since he did not think that Zheng-Fu would give the items in such a large amount. Although he had already thought that Zheng-Fu would definitely give us something valuable, he did not think that there would be such a large amount.
"Hmm… All I said was in this dimensional ring," Lao-Ying-Ba replied with a nod.
"If… if… if so, that dimensional ring must be extremely wide, right?" the fat man asked, with his mouth gaping in shock.
"This ring has an area of ten ping, Master Da-Da."
Ten ping!!!
Hearing that, his previously arrogant expression instantly sank. Because in comparison, all of his own treasures were incomparable to those in the dimensional ring, or it could be called just one-tenth.
"You see, Master Da-Da! I already told you that the things Young Master Zheng-Fu gave were definitely not ordinary things. Did you see it?" Yun-Zhang saw that Da-Da's face looked pale, did not hesitate, and immediately added insult to injury, for he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"I never thought Young Master Zheng-Fu would give me such precious and valuable items. Compared to what I entrusted you to give to him, it's no different from exchanging a piece of wood for a log. Sigh..." said Lao-Ying-Ba with a sad sigh when he thought of what he had given to Zheng-Fu...
Back to the In-See Napa Auction House...
"WHAT IS THIS????"
As soon as Xiao-Jiang checked the dimensional rings after Zheng-Fu left, she suddenly shouted out loud in shock as she realized what was inside the two-dimensional rings that Zheng-Fu gave her…
The items Zheng-Fu gave to Xiao-Jiang were similar to those he gave to the City Lord, but they were three times more. That made Xiao-Jiang cry out loud. Zheng-Fu gave the City Lord and Xiao-Jiang a lot of resources as a gift because he had some plans to rely on both of them. With this amount of resources, they would be able to recruit a large number of people or highly skilled men to join them...
Achoo!!!
"Who's complaining about me!?" As Zheng-Fu was walking, he suddenly sneezed so loudly that a little white snot came out...
"Isn't it any girl complaining about you?!" said Qi-Er, who was walking beside him, staring at him with annoyed eyes.
"Nonsense! Which girl!? Who else could I have besides my beautiful Qi-Er!!!?" Zheng-Fu replied, dropping sweet words and trying to reach her face. But the girl pushed his face away until he staggered backward.
"You're always violent. Aren't you able to treat me softly and sweetly!?" Zheng-Fu said with a sad expression to Qi-Fu-Er, who had always been harsh on him.
"No!!! I'm not such a sweet person. And besides, why should I be sweet to you!?" Qi-Fu-Er said with a raised head and turned away from him. But inside of her heart, she was already filled with a smile. And by now, if she had not had to hide it, her lips could smile as wide as her ears.
Sigh...
Hehe!!!
The four of them traveled on ordinary horses bought from the stables. The reason Zheng-Fu chose the horses was that he did not want to reveal himself, and he wanted to take in the scenery along the way. Of course, this kind of journey took quite a lot of time. The fastest was two days.
But since Zheng-Fu was not the only one with Qi-Er, there were also two girls ignorant of martial arts, making him have to spend the full length of time returning to his clan.
Three days had passed as fast as if they were in a hurry...
Zheng-Fu and the three girls finally arrived at the clan. When combined with the days he went to In-See City and stayed there, it was exactly six days, which was just one more day than the deadline that Zheng-Fu gave his squad members.
As for the two girls that Zheng-Fu brought along, he had Hai-Gang manage the accommodation and facilities for them on his behalf since Zheng-Fu thought he would spend the rest of the day studying the harp and flute skill books, just in case there would be a miracle like the previous time when he first started practicing the martial skill and had entered a dimension and had learned with the light figure.
"Qi-Er… you should go back to rest. You have been traveling all day today." Zheng-Fu made a handsome face as he spoke with a low-toned voice, like a cool protagonist in a soap opera, telling Qi-Fu-Er to go and rest.
"I know! You don't have to tell me. I'm going to rest anyway. And why do you have to speak in such a strange voice? Hearing it gives me goosebumps!!!" The girl replied with a strange expression as she thought of Zheng-Fu's handsome voice.
Aha aha!!! Smack!!!
"I told you I don't like it!!!" The girl slapped Zheng-Fu's face hard before hurriedly running into the house without looking back.
"Ah... What? Why did you slap my face all of a sudden? Aha aha... It's not right that you did that!" Zheng-Fu said, stroking his face where the girl slapped him before following her.
Inside Zheng-Fu's room...
Thump!
"Which book should I start with?" After entering the room, Zheng-Fu immediately took out all six of the textbooks he had received and placed them on his desk. Then he said with a heavy heart that he would choose which one to study first because he did not know anything about music, so he did not know which book to start with.
Ten minutes had passed...
"Let's start with this one!" After a long time of deciding, Zheng-Fu finally made a choice. He picked up the first flute skill book and read it immediately.
Flip!!!
Flip!!! Flip!!!
Flip!!! Flip!!! Flip!!!
From flipping page by page at the beginning, Zheng-Fu started to open the next page faster and faster, finally finishing the first book he picked up at speed. His opening was extremely fast. But...in fact, Zheng-Fu opened it so quickly because he did not understand it at all, so he just passed it by!!!
"Ohhh!!! I can't understand it at all. And why does this flute have so many holes? Who knows which holes need to be closed? And what are the things written in this textbook? Who's going to understand!!!?"
Zheng-Fu grumbled like a bee-eating bear when he could not understand the meaning of the flute skill book. And no matter how he tried to blow it, it sounded like an eerie howl from a dog.
