Chapter 1221 - 1221: Ma-Ying-Tian
"Zi Furen is now in a safe place. Young Masters, don't worry. If you want to meet Zi Furen, I can send you both away. But you can't come back until the situation here returns to normal." Zheng-Fu walked over to his seat that Zi-Dong-Lei had arranged for him before explaining to the two young men.
Ah!?
"Comrade, I don't understand what you're saying. Could you elaborate a little more?" Wu-Di, who had been silent the entire time, asked. The reason he was silent was because he was processing the whole story to find out what really happened. Of course, he did not forget to check on Zheng-Fu as well. However, he could not figure out what kind of person Zheng-Fu was or what his energy level was. He only knew that Zheng-Fu was someone he could get along with and trust, so he asked Zheng-Fu directly and in a friendly manner.
"To put it simply, the situation of Zi Clan right now is critical. It's at risk of being usurped by other greedy major clans. It's not clear which clan it is, so your father needs to handle this matter strictly. And to prevent anyone from knowing that your mother was saved by us, we have to do this. Do you still want to go?"
Zheng-Fu explained as best as he could. He did not know if the two young men would understand, but he knew that they were smart and would know what they should do.
"That's right, as Little Comrade said! If you want to go see your mother, you can go, but you can't come back here until I have sorted out all the problems. But if you choose to stay here, I'll give you a task!"
Zi-Dong-Lei quickly understood what Zheng-Fu meant. He knew why Zheng-Fu said that to his two sons. It was because Zheng-Fu saw the potential and capabilities in them. And with their unyielding nature and loving justice like his, he believed that his two sons would definitely choose to stay in the city. However, he had to ask their opinions first.
"If you're sure that my mother is safe, I won't go see her right now. I want to stay and deal with those who have evil intentions towards Mother and Father first!" Wu-Di quickly made up his mind, and his answer was exactly what Zi-Dong-Lei had thought. And it seemed that the young man was very serious about this matter.
"I'll... I'll stay too. Since Mother is safe, after helping Father deal with the problem, I can go to see her!" However, Yi-Chuan hesitated and was not firm in his answer. He wanted to go to see his mother, but since his elder brother chose to stay, how could he leave? So, he chose to stay and help his father deal with the problem as well.
Good!
"You guys made a great decision. You're worthy of being my son, Zi-Dong-Lei!" Zi-Dong-Lei looked very happy and proud to see his two sons choosing to stay there.
However, while everyone was talking…
Flap!
Father, sir!
Hah!?
Ying-Tian?!
Oops! City Governor!
"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to stay in the mansion?"
Suddenly, a young woman opened the cloth door of the tent and shouted loudly to call for her father. And she was Ma-Ying-Tian, Ma-Li-Wei's daughter.
"I'm... I'm sorry, Father, City Governor! I thought you were alone." The young woman felt very sorry and ashamed for acting so rudely in front of so many people.
"Don't blame yourself, Niece Ying-Tian. By the way, what's the matter with you coming here?"
Zi-Dong-Lei loved and cared for Ying-Tian as if she were his daughter. In fact, he also wanted Ying-Tian to be his daughter-in-law. Because Ying-Tian was beautiful and talented in both scholarly and martial arts. No one would not want her as their daughter-in-law.
But he did not dare to think that way anymore. Because Ma-Li-Wei probably did not want to relate to him through their children's marriage now. With the appearance of a young man with great talent like Zheng-Fu, how could Ma-Li-Wei give his daughter to his son?
Miss Ying-Tian!
However, Yi-Chuan clearly expressed how he felt about Ying-Tian. His gaze when looking at her was extremely bright and sparkling.
"Young Master Wu-Di! Young Master Yi-Chuan!"
Ying-Tian, on the other hand, did not have any feelings for Yi-Chuan whatsoever, but out of good manners, she had to greet him and his brother and give them a slight smile. Just as she was about to ignore the two men, her gaze suddenly caught sight of another man. This man was someone she had always wanted to know who he was, but she had never had the chance to meet him again.
"What's up? Why are you here?" When Ma-Li-Wei noticed his daughter's gaze as she stared at Zheng-Fu with interest, he felt an inexplicable hope. But because he did not know why his daughter was looking at Zheng-Fu, he had to suppress his excitement for now.
Err…
Her father's question brought her back to her senses. She could not help but feel shy under her father's gaze, because she had never looked at a man so seriously and interestedly before. However, because she was quick-witted and adaptable, she quickly changed her expression and turned to answer her father. "I came to Father because I wanted to join the fight. I want to gain experience so that if something like this happens again in the future, I can handle it!"
No way!
Ying-Tian begged her father with reason, but Ma-Li-Wei immediately refused without hesitation. There was no way he would let his beloved daughter be in danger. The remaining demon monster beasts were all those at the Genuine Deity Stage, while his daughter was only at the seventh level of the Heavenly Deity Original Stage. Therefore, he could not allow her.
Father!
"Big Brother can join, why can't I? I promise I won't cause you any trouble. I'll stay in the rear to gain experience. Father, please let me…"
No!
"I said no, then it's no! Why don't you listen to me? You're my only daughter. If something happens to you, what will your mother and I do? Do you want us to be sad?" Ma-Li-Wei loved his daughter very much. If possible, he did not even want her to go out. So, when she asked to join the battle, he would never agree.
"But…"
"Enough! Go home. I'll let someone take you home."
No matter what, Ma-Li-Wei would not allow her and would not let his daughter stay there anymore. So, he cut her off and was about to order his clan's member to take her home. However, at that moment…
"Ma Clan Leader, why don't you let her stay to gain experience? It's safe here anyway. As long as she doesn't go into the battlefield, it's fine. Because sooner or later, she'll have to go out and face the world. Or do you plan to let her stay in your arms forever, never knowing the outside world? If so, won't she be helpless when you're no longer around? How do you expect her to survive then?"
Little Comrade!
Zheng-Fu interrupted, and the reason he helped Ying-Tian talk was because he felt that Ying-Tian might be another variable that affected the Ma Clan. He, therefore, had to keep her here and protect her. Because if she were sent back, she might be abducted as well.
"That's right, as Young Master said. If you leave without letting me learn about the outside world, how can I live alone?" Ying-Tian was very grateful to Zheng-Fu for speaking up for her. She did not know if Zheng-Fu's words would work, but judging from her father's attitude, the chances of him agreeing were very high.
"That's right, Uncle Ma! Don't worry about Sister Ying-Tian, I'll take care of and protect her myself!" Yi-Chuan saw this as an opportunity to gain points from Ying-Tian, so he immediately helped speak up too. He offered to protect Ying-Tian himself because he was a Genuine Deity Stage cultivator.
"Thank you for your kindness, Nephew Yi-Chuan. But no matter what, I can't let Ying-Tian…"
"Then, let me take care of her. You won't mind, right?"
Erm!
"Of course! If it's Little Comrade, I can rest assured." When Ma-Li-Wei saw that Zheng-Fu offered to protect his daughter, he immediately agreed. It was as if he had been waiting for this sentence. When his intention was fulfilled, he turned to his daughter and said, "Ying-Tian, you must not stay away from Young Master Zheng-Fu. Otherwise, I'll send you back home immediately."
Gnash!
Old fox!
Zi-Dong-Lei gritted his teeth when he saw that. He felt extremely envious of Ma-Li-Wei, who was able to find such a good opportunity for his daughter. And when he turned to look at his son, who was infatuated with Ma-Li-Wei's daughter, he could not help but shake his head sadly for his son. Although his son was an unparalleled genius, he was not comparable to Zheng-Fu at all.
'Why did Father accept this man's proposal without a second thought? While Zi-Yi-Chuan's proposal was rejected without hesitation at all. Who is this man?! Never mind, as long as I can stay, that's enough. I want to know about this man anyway, and staying with him won't do any harm. '
Yes, sir, Father!
Ying-Tian seemed confused and did not understand her father. However, she had her wish fulfilled. Moreover, she wanted to know Zheng-Fu's true identity, so she decided to take this opportunity to find out the truth.
"Young Master Zheng-Fu, I'm sorry to trouble you!"
To build a good relationship, Ying-Tian turned to greet Zheng-Fu, smiled, and charmingly looked at him, hoping that Zheng-Fu would be charmed by her beauty.
"Miss Ying-Tian is being too considerate of me. Since Master Li-Wei and I know each other, I volunteered to help."
Ah!
However, Zheng-Fu did not seem to be charmed by her as Ma-Ying-Tian intended. This shocked Ying-Tian and made her feel incredulous. Because there had never been a single man who had not been charmed by her.
