Ha ha ha!!!
Everyone happily burst out laughing, seeing Su-Su's cute expression when talking to Zheng-Fu. But Zheng-Fu did not seem to laugh at all; he did not feel or think anything. And before following Su-Su, he turned to the young man and two young women standing not too far from them and spoke up, "Now everything is over. Where are you all going next!?"
"Um... Well, we… we don't know where to go either. We've lost all our families because of that bastard!" The young man replied to Zheng-Fu with a displeased look on his face when speaking of the black-robed man, who was in such a terrible condition that no one could bear to look at him.
"Then, would you like to come and live with me? But if you don't want to, that's fine. I'm not forcing you. But if you are interested in…"
"Can we stay with you, Master?" Suddenly, the purple-robed woman asked before Zheng-Fu would finish his speech, with a face of anticipation in the answer. And the others also thought the same way as her.
"Of course… Yes, you all can come and live with my family if you are faithful to my clan." Zheng-Fu nodded in response with a serious face.
"Thank you, sir, for being kind to us. We solemnly declare that we will be loyal to you and your family forever. Whether you let us go into the water, go through the fire, or let us do anything, we accept everything, sir!"
"So do we. We will be honest and loyal to Young Master Zheng-Fu and your clan forever until life is lost!"
Suddenly, over a hundred martial cultivators, including the young men and two young women, knelt and made their vows. They would be loyal to him and his clan all their lives. This sight caused everyone there to look at Zheng-Fu with great respect and admiration.
This was because all of these people had a level of cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage, and their numbers were as high as a hundred people. Moreover, the young man and two young women were all at the highest rank of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, which was a very high level.
But while everyone was admiring the images that were taking place, suddenly, a purple-haired young man walked in without anyone realizing it. He came straight to them, and when everyone was aware of his arrival, the City Lord's soldiers immediately surrounded him.
"Who are you? Why did you come here!?" Commander Lu-Su, who was leading his forces to surround the young man, asked with a serious face staring at him.
Thump!!
"I've returned, sir, Young Master Zheng-Fu. And I, too, swear allegiance to you and your clan!" But suddenly, the young man knelt and clasped his hands up, vowing, which caused Commander Lu-Su and the others to feel completely numb. Then they turned to look at Zheng-Fu as if wanting a confirmation answer from him.
"It's just what he said!!" Zheng-Fu did not say much, just said that it was as the young man spoke. The reason everyone had not seen him before was that Zheng-Fu had let him do some things while they were in the forest outside the city.
And now, including this purple-haired young man, Zheng-Fu would already have four cultivators at the highest rank of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage under his control. Of course, having four such high-level cultivators would make his clan much stronger. It could be said that it was equivalent to the high-ranking clans in a medium-sized city.
"Alright, I have to excuse myself. Otherwise, everyone will die now." After saying that, Zheng-Fu immediately followed in the direction of Su-Su, who had led earlier.
After Zheng-Fu left, Lao-Ying-Ba ordered all his soldiers to spread out to take care of the people and the order of the city immediately. As for the people of the Tian-Tang Clan and the new force that had just joined the clan, they had spread to different parts of the city to help take care of the order, for they were of a much higher level than the soldiers.
And they were mainly in charge of the city gate.
"This child, in the future, must become a great person. And he is definitely at the top of this continent," said the elderly woman, looking behind Zheng-Fu's back.
"I also think so, Old Lady. He's just this age but has many talented subordinates. Not only that, but he can also make them accept him both physically and mentally." Elder Yan also agreed with his wife's words because he himself, who no longer had any interest in the outside world, still had to come out because of Zheng-Fu's invitation. And his first outing with his wife was also an exciting event.
"Miss Su-Su, wait for me, please!" Zheng-Fu quickly followed Su-Su. After she walked away from him for a while, he spoke up when he got close to her.
"Ah… Um…" Su-Su nodded in response with a soft sound. But she did not turn around to look at him.
With his speed, Zheng-Fu was already beside the girl. However, his walking beside her made her lower her head even more, embarrassed, her breathing was shattering, and her face was completely red.
"May I ask if the pond is still far away from here, Miss Su-Su?" Zheng-Fu asked, seeing that the atmosphere was starting to become uncomfortable. But his question made the girl's face go down even more. Her face lowered down until it could be said that she could not see the way anymore.
"Not...not far away... sir...sir. Just pass through this hall, and we... we'll... will arrive!"
"Is that so? But is anything wrong? Why do you keep your head down and just look at the ground? You're going to hit the pillar soon." Zheng-Fu pretended to ask, seeing that she refused to raise her head to speak to him.
"I don't need to look. I already know which way to go!" The girl kept her head down and replied that she did not have to look at the path; she could be walking the right way. But suddenly...
Bang!!!
"Oh!!!"
Her words were unfinished as she smashed into a huge pillar blocking the way until she lost her balance, stepped back towards Zheng-Fu, and crashed into him.
He supported her before asking worriedly, "Are you alright, young miss?"
When she found out that she had touched Zheng-Fu's body and he was holding her by the shoulder, she immediately moved away from him in an even more embarrassed manner, saying, "I...I'm fine. Thank you very much, Young Master Zheng-Fu, for helping me." After that, she hurriedly continued walking.
"Is that so?" Zheng-Fu shrugged with a smile on his face, looking after the girl who hurriedly walked away from him before following her without saying anything further.
'Her body is pretty soft! When we first met, she looked quite cute but was a bit spoiled. Just now, a manner like this awkwardly makes her even cuter!' said Zheng-Fu in his mind, thinking of the first time he met her when he went to help her.
Five minutes had passed...
They both finally reached the pure water pond Lao-Ying-Ba had mentioned. This pond was not very large. Its size was the same as a small fish pond. But the water inside the pool was extremely clear. And when Zheng-Fu examined it, he found that it was indeed as pure as he wanted.
"The water in this pond is very pure."
"Of course, the water in this pond was born naturally, rising from the underground of the city. Father used to say that it is the pond of life that our family has been protecting for generations," the girl explained, forgetting that she was embarrassed. But when she saw Zheng-Fu staring at her until her gaze met him directly, it caused her face to turn so red that it almost exploded.
"The Pond of Life!?" Zheng-Fu exclaimed with a slight doubt at the words 'the pond of life' that the girl said just now. But he did not think of asking any further because it was the secret of the girl's family.
"Alright, its history doesn't matter. I only need this water to make liquid medicine to save the poisoned person there." When Zheng-Fu finished speaking, he took out several pill bottles and filled them almost full of water, every bottle with great speed.
Ten minutes had passed...
Zheng-Fu finally obtained the high-purity water that had already filled several pill bottles. He then immediately dissolved the Ten-Thousand-Poison-Dissolving pills into the water.
He did that to turn it into the Ten-Thousand-Poison-Dissolving liquid medicine, which had a relatively lower intensity than the Ten-Thousand-Poison-Dissolving pill, but it was intensive enough to cure the poison and save the lives of all the people in the arena.
"Alright, let's go back. Everyone is waiting for this medicine," Zheng-Fu said as he finished dissolving the pills to turn them into liquid medicine.
Um...
Then the two walked back outside and headed back to the arena where ten thousand people had been poisoned by the black-robed man. When Zheng-Fu arrived, he handed a bottle of medicine to the City Lord and the people of his clan. Let them help bring them to heal the people who were poisoned immediately.
After people took the antidote, their symptoms gradually improved. And soon, they regained consciousness. Those who were less poisoned were able to stand and walk. But those who got a lot of poisoning still had to take a while to recover.
"I'm not in pain. No more pain!"
"Me too. Oh my god! God please!"
"Thank Heaven for mercy to help us heal from this terrible poison!"
"Thank you, City Lord, for helping us!"
Those who had recovered from the poison prayed to Heaven and the City Lord for making them heal from this tortured poison. They did not even know that the one who healed them was not Heaven or the City Lord but a child they had never seen or known before.
"Everyone, I've got something to tell you. All of you have recovered because of Young Master Zheng-Fu from the Tian-Tang Clan. He's the one who gave you guys the antidote!" Suddenly, Lao-Ying-Ba spoke with a loud voice so that everyone could hear who made them heal from the poison.
"Young Master Zheng-Fu!!!?"
"Young Master Zheng-Fu from the Tian-Tang Clan?"
"Ah!!! This name sounds so familiar!?"
When people heard this name, their faces were filled with doubt because they were very familiar with it. But they could not remember where they had heard it from. But soon, when they thought of the Tian-Tang Clan, they recognized the name of a child who had become very famous the previous year, the one that caused both the large and small clans to tremble upon hearing it.
"So where is Young Master Zheng-Fu? We'd like to thank him!"
"Right, where is Young Master Zheng-Fu!?"
The heads of several clans were all raising their voices with suspicion. Who was Young Master Zheng-Fu? They had never seen Zheng-Fu before, so they did not recognize him, even though he was already standing in front of everyone.
"Young Master Zheng-Fu is standing in front of everyone right now!" said Lao-Ying-Ba with a smile, looking at Zheng-Fu, who stood still beside him.
Huh...?
"Is he...!?"
