Chapter 474 - 422 Mutual Threats, The Resurgence of the Demon Subduer
"This gentleman is Chen Fengchi from the Pinghu Chen Family, and this one is Zeng Shihong from the Zeng Family."
Although his heart was filled with worries and awkwardness, Wu Changsong could not afford further thought; he sacrificed his own dignity to introduce the two Family Heads.
"When the Red Lotus Bandits came that day, it was too sudden; both families gathered their valuables, took their families, and crossed the river in haste to seek aid—a picture of panicked sorrow. While staying in Huangze all these days, they thought daily of their hometowns falling into bandit hands and could not hold back their tears.
When they heard that Nephew Disciple Zhou had taken back Pinghu City from the hands of the Red Lotus Bandits, they were beside themselves with joy and just wanted to return home to offer any help they could to do something for the elders there..."
As Wu Changsong spoke, he didn’t seem like a Taoist who stayed out of worldly affairs; rather, he was slick and practiced, turning "fleeing" into "seeking aid" and coming back to reclaim their lands into "wanting to contribute to the community."
Even Zhou Ping’an couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"That would be great. The Three Counties of Liyou are now in dire need of revival, especially Pinghu City, having just been retrieved from the Red Lotus Bandits. We are in dire need of capable people. If the Chen and Zeng Family Heads could recommend promising family members to come and assist, it would truly be a blessing."
Zhou Ping’an promptly agreed.
"Not just the descendants of the Chen and Zeng families; I’m also very welcoming to any other families who want to come back."
"The General is magnanimous. Being able to recover our lands and businesses, my Chen Family is deeply grateful and will certainly spread the word of the General’s formidable presence..."
"My Zeng Family also feels the same. There are a few descendants in our family with exceptional talents, who’ve obtained the Juren title this spring. They could indeed be recommended to the General. However, they plan to head to the capital for the exam next year, and I hope the General will not hinder them."
