Chapter 1283 - 1283: Rescue Young Master Guan-Yong

"Young Master Guan-Yong, we can't resist them. You should run away, for now, sir. We're not far from the city gate. If you reach there, they won't dare to do anything to you!"

"No! Even if I have to die, I won't abandon my people. Even though I'm injured, I'll fight to the death… Augh!" the young man roared furiously as he tried to get up and get out of the carriage. However, he had been seriously injured in a clash with a group of villains just now, so he collapsed helplessly, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

Young Master!!!

I'm fine!

'It seems that you need help, Comrade. What do you say? Do you want me to help you?'

Hah?!

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out in Guan-Yong's ears. He felt that this voice sounded very familiar. It was like he had heard it somewhere before. And then he finally remembered.

You?!

"Comrade Zheng-Fu?!"

"Young Master, what's wrong, sir? Who's Zheng-Fu?" I, Guan-Hu, sir, Young Master."

Of course, the others did not hear Zheng-Fu's voice, so they thought that their young master had lost his mind by saying their name incorrectly. However, since the young man was their young master, the guardians did not dare to be ill-mannered and say such a thing.

"I did not speak to you. Now, you go out first and protect me for as long as possible. Give me a moment to decide what to do next." The young man knew what his guardians were thinking, so to avoid being misunderstood as crazy, he had to find an excuse to chase them away first.

Yes, sir!!!

Anyway, the young man did not know that his subordinates had already thought that he was crazy. They just did not dare to say anything to him.

Flop!

"Comrade, you look very battered. Did you get into a fight with a dog?"

Ah!

Comrade Zheng-Fu!

The young man was startled again when Zheng-Fu suddenly appeared in front of him.

"We've met before. Why are you acting so surprised?" Zheng-Fu smiled in amusement when he saw Guan-Yong's shocked expression. Even though he spoke as if nothing had happened, he was laughing so hard inside.

You!

"Although we've met before, suddenly appearing like this would shock everyone. By the way, you came here… Augh!"

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Before the young man could finish speaking, a pill suddenly flew into his mouth, and it almost got stuck in his throat. Fortunately, when the pill entered his throat, it immediately dissolved, causing the young man to only cough a few times.

"Your current state is not suitable for talking much. First, absorb my energy-boosting medicine, and then we'll talk."

You!

Guan-Yong blushed with embarrassment and irritation at being teased and mocked by Zheng-Fu. However, as he was about to respond, he felt that the pill he swallowed was very effective in healing him, so he chose to absorb the energy from it to heal himself first.

Aaaaah!

This medicine is great!

"Of course, the energy-boosting pill I gave you is a three-star deity medicine. How could it not have a great effect? In addition to healing your wounds and restoring your energy, it also leaves enough energy to help you level up your energy."

Hah…

Guan-Yong was speechless when he heard that. The medicine that Zheng-Fu gave him was extremely precious. Even though he was the son of the Major Clan Leader, it was hard to obtain. However, Zheng-Fu gave it to him without asking anything. It made him feel very grateful.

Cleng! Cleng!

Arrrrgh!!!

Nooooooo!!!

Oh…, my underlings!

At that moment, the sound of fighting outside rang out, and it brought the young man back to his senses. He frowned deeply in worry and prepared to rush out to help his men fighting outside. But before he would do so...

"Don't worry, I have already sent my men to deal with your enemies. It won't be long before it ends; you can rest assured!"

Zheng-Fu spoke up to stop the young man and tell him that his men were safe from the enemies. That was because Zheng-Fu had sent his clone figures to take care of it.

Umm!

It's true!

Of course, to be sure, the young man immediately released his psychic sense to check outside the carriage. Before he could find out that the enemies surrounding them had been dealt with, and his remaining men from earlier were still there.

"You…"

Guan-Yong seemed to be about to say something, but he suddenly stopped. Because he knew that what he was about to ask would not be appropriate, he chose not to speak and sat down in his seat to wait for Zheng-Fu to speak first.

"I know you have many questions you want to ask me, but you know that we're not close enough for me to tell you everything, right? But if there's something I can answer, I will. Ask me!"

Zheng-Fu knew that Guan-Yong wanted to ask many things, but he was afraid that it would be impolite and ruin the good friendship. However, even though he could not answer every question, there were some things that he did not need to hide. So, Zheng-Fu gave the young man a chance to ask.

Umm, thank you!

The young man nodded and thanked him from the bottom of his heart. Even though he knew he should not ask, there was something he really wanted to know. When Zheng-Fu said that, he immediately asked the first question.

"Who exactly are you?"

He had felt before that Zheng-Fu was much weaker than him, but at that moment, this new comrade seemed to be a completely different person. Even his father could not make anyone who met him feel such awe and fear.

"I'm just a wanderer, without any noble background." Zheng-Fu chose words to answer without lying, but he did not tell the whole truth.

Ah!?

Wanderer?

The young man was immediately stunned when he received the answer. He did not expect Zheng-Fu to answer like this. Since that was the case, he could not ask for further explanation, so he chose to ask the next question.

"Then how strong are you?"

"I cannot tell you about this, because I do not know how strong I am. If I were to estimate, I would be comparable to the major clan leaders in the capital where you live." For this question, Zheng-Fu could only give the young man a rough answer, because he was not sure how strong he was at that time. However, he was certain that the major clan leaders in the capital could not compare to him.

Hah...

The more Guan-Yong listened, the more goosebumps and fear he felt. He was very glad that he did not cause trouble for Zheng-Fu earlier and chose to make friends instead. Otherwise, he would have died the first time they met. However, he felt very good now because making friends with Zheng-Fu that day saved him from today's incident.

"Thank you very much for the answer. I have received an answer that I'm satisfied with." The young man still had many more questions, but he thought that if he asked too many, the good relationship between them might end.

Umm!

"Then it's my turn to ask. I want to know why you are here and why you were attacked like this. And what is the Demon Empire like now?"

Zheng-Fu nodded slightly before asking the young man back. He wanted to know the current events in the capital and thought that the young man should be able to give him a clear answer.

Hmm...

"I came out to carry out a mission outside under the clan's orders. As for those who ambushed me, I don't know who they are or why they attacked me. But I suspect that these people are special assassins of the Dark Crescent Secret Force."

Dark Crescent Secret Force?!

Yes!

"I noticed the black crescent moon imprints on their necks and arms, so I think they must be Dark members of the Dark Crescent Secret Force. Everyone knows that this force consists of hired assassins.

"As for the current situation of the Demon Empire, we're fighting fiercely with the demon monster beast hordes. Many towns have already been destroyed. Especially the towns under the control of Demon's Hill City, almost all of them have been completely obliterated! The remaining towns and cities have started to evacuate their people and retreat to the center of the empire."

The young man answered Zheng-Fu's question in detail without missing a single thing. Because what Zheng-Fu asked was not a secret, it was something common knowledge that everyone knew, so he did not need to hide it.

Umm!

"Thank you very much. Then what are you going to do with these assassins? I also spared some lives so that we can question them for some information."

Great!

"I also want to know who sent them."

The young man smiled widely when he heard that the assassins were not all killed. He wanted to squeeze the truth out of them about their employers.

"Then it's up to you. As for me, I have already chosen one of them to ask for information, so let's part ways here. Good luck, Young Master!" Zheng-Fu nodded slightly before asking to separate from the young man and his group. Since his method of extracting information was a bit immoral, Zheng-Fu did not want anyone to see it.

Umm!

Wait, comrade!

"If you don't mind, I'd like to treat you to a meal to show my gratitude for your kindness. Consider it's..."

"Let's leave it for another time. In any case, I have to return to the city anyway. I'll visit you after I finish my work!" Zheng-Fu immediately refused. He wanted to know the information from the assassin rather than traveling with the young man. But in order not to let the young man be regretful, Zheng-Fu decided to go see him after getting the information.

Excellent!

"Then, take my emblem badge. When you arrive at Guan Clan, show this badge to the guards at the entrance. They'll handle everything for you." The young man nodded happily when Zheng-Fu accepted the invitation. Then, he gave his emblem badge to Zheng-Fu so that he could meet him without any problems.

Umm, I understand. See you later!

Flap!

Hey!

"You suddenly disappeared like this? Are you a human or a ghost!?"

When Zheng-Fu appeared, he had already startled Guan-Yong once, and when he wanted to leave, he suddenly disappeared like a ghost. Guan-Yong was both shocked and confused as to whether he was talking to a human or a ghost.

Young Master!

When Zheng-Fu and his clone figures left, the young man's guardians immediately rushed into the carriage to check on him, fearing that their young master would be harmed, as the newcomers were even stronger than those assassins.

Creak!

"I'm fine! Let's go back to the clan!"

Ah!!!

Yes, sir, Young Master!!!
