Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1080: Make an Offer to Wu Clan

Benefactor!!!

As soon as the two middle-aged men saw Zheng-Fu walk out, they hurriedly stood up with their hands clasped and bowed their heads slightly as a polite expression of thanks.

"You don't have to be so polite to me. By the way, how are you guys now?" Zheng-Fu waved his hand to let the two of them make themselves comfortable before asking how the two of them were with a smile.

"We're somewhat better now, Benefactor. The pills you gave us have healed some of our internal wounds. And in the past hour or so, we were able to recover a little bit of energy to heal ourselves. We're now generally safe!" their big brother replied. He was very polite and respectful towards Zheng-Fu. Because Zheng-Fu was the one who saved them, the three siblings.

"Just call me Zheng-Fu! First of all, you two should have the clan's healer take care of you first. We can talk about other things after this. But because we haven't discussed our conditions yet, I might have to stay in your clan. I hope I won't disturb you all, right?" Zheng-Fu was in no hurry to offer his terms now. Moreover, he wanted to survey this clan first to see if it was worthy of inviting them to be an ally. Therefore, he used this excuse to politely request to stay there.

Not at all!

"We're very pleased. I'll immediately order someone to arrange a place for Bene... Comrade Zheng-Fu to stay. My name is Wu-Guan. This is my younger brother, his name is Wu-Yuan. And our little sister's name is..."

Wu-Mei!

The young woman did not wait for her elder brother to introduce her name. She walked forward and introduced herself with a serious expression and firm eyes.

Umm!

"If so, this is the Wu Clan, right?" Zheng-Fu asked after hearing the three introduce themselves. Because their surname was Wu.

"That's right, Comrade Zheng-Fu! This is the Wu Clan. Originally, our clan came from a small world. It took us hundreds of years to become a mid-level clan here. The strongest person, our father, has an energy level at the first level of the Deity Monarch Stage. And because of Father, our clan has become a lower middle-class clan." Wu-Guan nodded and explained his clan. That made Zheng-Fu know that the Wu Clan was not the original clan in this Deity Land, but a clan from a small world.

"It's exactly like this. Well, you all can go take care of the things that need to be done. I'll wait here. And if you don't trust me, you can have someone watch over me. Because I don't want to make you feel uneasy!" Zheng-Fu nodded in understanding before telling the three of them to take care of their errands and leaving him in that room. He still did not want to walk outside because his arrival there had not yet been reported to the clan.

"I'll stay here with you myself because I'm not injured. Besides, I have something I want to discuss with you." Wu-Mei stepped forward slightly and offered to stay with Zheng-Fu. She was not injured like the two elder brothers, so she did not need to see the healer and could stay with Zheng-Fu.

Little Sister!!!

Wu-Guan and Wu-Yuan exclaimed in unison. They did not feel comfortable leaving their little sister there. But thinking of what Zheng-Fu did for them, they had to allow it.

"Then the two of us will rush to finish everything. Including reporting to Father what happened. I believe Father will definitely come here to thank Comrade Zheng-Fu in person!" Before Wu-Guan left, he had some final words. What he meant was that he wanted Zheng-Fu to meet his father. And he glanced to see what Zheng-Fu would say.

"Please do."

Umm!

When Wu-Guan saw that Zheng-Fu did not object, he grinned widely and immediately ran out. And Wu-Yuan also ran after him.

"They've gone. What do you have to discuss with me?" Zheng-Fu waited for a moment. Seeing that the two were gone, he asked Wu-Mei.

"I want to know what exactly you wanted from us to save us. And how did you know we were in trouble back then?" That was a question that had bothered her ever since she was able to survive. She could not understand why Zheng-Fu had saved them. Because her clan did not have a high reputation compared to the clan that attacked them. If Zheng-Fu captured them and handed them over to those people, he would gain more benefits.

"I was in the next room at that tavern, so I know you guys were in trouble. And I saved you all because I thought it was worth the investment and the risk." Zheng-Fu did not mention his purpose. He just spoke indirectly. Wu-Mei is not the person who has decision-making power in the clan. He had to wait to meet someone with authority before he would tell.

Worth the investment!?

"What do you mean? What are you going to invest with us!?" Instead of the doubt disappearing, it made the young woman even more suspicious. Because Zheng-Fu refused to explain clearly. She then had a more serious expression and asked, expecting an answer.

"I still can't tell you. Because you don't have the power to make decisions in the clan." Zheng-Fu could only say this much and not go any further, as it was of no use.

You!

Wu-Mei seemed dissatisfied with Zheng-Fu's words. She did not expect Zheng-Fu to look down on her to this extent. But after thinking about it again, she understood and lowered her head without saying another word, because if the matter Zheng-Fu wanted to talk about was about her clan, she probably had no right to make decisions; she could only listen.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

"Where is he?"

The footsteps of many people were approaching, followed by an excited shout from a middle-aged man in his forties in front of the room where Zheng-Fu and Wu-Mei were. Zheng-Fu guessed that the owner of this voice was the Wu Clan Leader. Because the voice seemed strong and contained a formidable energy wave of a Deity Monarch Stage cultivator.

"Inside, Father!"

And it was exactly what Zheng-Fu thought. Because the voice that answered the middle-aged man belonged to Wu-Guan, the eldest son of the clan leader. And he called the other person 'Father'.

Creeeaaak!!!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

"Is it you, Little Comrade, who saved my children's lives?" Wu-Guan's father entered the room and saw a young man sitting in the room with his youngest daughter. He immediately knew that it must have been this young man who had saved his children.

"Respect, Wu Clan Leader. I'm Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu, the one who saved your children." Zheng-Fu stood up slowly, steadily, and calmly, before he raised his hands to clasp at his chest level and politely greeted the middle-aged man in front of him. His voice was neither too soft nor too harsh.

Umm!

"I, Wu-Qi-Fong, am the current Wu Clan Leader. I thank Little Comrade Zheng-Fu for saving my children from those bastards. Not only did you save their lives, but advanced Heavenly Skill treatises were also brought back safely. I don't know how I can properly repay Little Comrade Zheng-Fu for this favor?" Wu-Qi-Fong admired and liked Zheng-Fu quite a bit. He did not expect that the person who saved his children would be such a young man. However, he knew that he could not just look at the outside appearance. Because he was over sixty years old, his face still looked like that of a forty-year-old.

"I don't think too much about the favor. But if you have good intentions, I have a favor to ask as well. If possible, I'd like your Wu Clan to be part of my clan. I can assure you that you'll receive good rewards." Zheng-Fu wasted no time indirectly speaking. He could see that Wu-Qi-Fong was a straightforward person, so speaking frankly would be best.

Huh, for this matter...!

Zheng-Fu's request startled Wu-Qi-Fong and the rest of the clan who heard it. Because this kind of thing was equivalent to having the Wu Clan become a clan directly under Zheng-Fu's clan.

"Wu Clan Leader, please do not get angry. I'm just proposing. I'm not forcing you to accept anything. But if you accept, these two volumes of intermediate Deity Soul Skill treatise will immediately belong to your clan!" Zheng-Fu knew that this matter was not something that could be decided like buying something at the market. But he had a way of persuading the other party. He brought out two intermediate Deity Soul Sword Skill treatise books as bait. Because he knew that the Wu Clan needed these things.

Hah!

Intermediate Deity Soul Skill Treatise books!?

Just now, Wu-Qi-Fong was displeased to hear such a proposal. Even though Zheng-Fu was a person who helped his children, to have his clan under the control of another clan was clearly an insult. But when he listened to the last explanation and the conditions that Zheng-Fu had offered, the feeling of dissatisfaction immediately disappeared and was replaced with worry and hesitation.

"This is a very big matter. We must have a meeting first. So, I'll arrange for Little Comrade the best room. And this evening we'll be holding a banquet for Little Comrade. What does Little Comrade Zheng-Fu think?" Wu-Qi-Fong could not let this matter pass by. However, he needed to request time for a clan meeting first. Therefore, he asked Zheng-Fu to stay there to wait for their answer while they organized a banquet for him that night.

"All right! But I don't have much time. So, I hope to get a definite answer from you all at the banquet!" Zheng-Fu knew that the other party had to have a meeting first, so he gave them time. But he used the excuse that he had to go on other tasks to pressure for a quick answer. And after speaking, he kept the two volumes of skill treatise back, ignoring everyone's glances at him.

"Certain! Little Comrade Zheng-Fu will definitely get the answer tonight. Then please wait a moment, I'll have someone prepare a room for you!" Wu-Qi-Fong withdrew his gaze from the two treatise books that Zheng-Fu had kept back longingly. He admitted that this offer was very tempting. However, he could not make a decision right away. If it were him alone, he would not delay in agreeing to Zheng-Fu at all.

Good!

Wu-Qi-Fong ordered his servants to prepare a room for Zheng-Fu and also let a few of them look after and serve him. He then called all of the clan's important persons to a meeting to discuss Zheng-Fu's proposal.

Half an hour passed, in the room that the Wu Clan had prepared for Zheng-Fu...

"Just two volumes of skill treatise won't be enough to make the Wu Clan cooperate with me. Hmm, what should I prepare for negotiations?" Entering the room that had been prepared for him, Zheng-Fu tried to predict the negotiations that would take place after this. Because he believed that the other party would definitely not be satisfied with just two volumes of the intermediate Deity Soul Skill. Therefore, he had to think and prepare other variables for negotiation as well.

Umm!

"If it's also a low-level Energy Gathering Tactical Formation Spell, it might make the negotiation easier. But right now, I don't have any Genuine Deity Stage monster beast blood left. Or should I go hunting first?" Zheng-Fu had already figured out what he would use for bargaining if his first offer still did not work. He thought that if he created a low-level Energy Gathering Tactical Formation Spell for the Wu Clan, the chance of them accepting his offers would be higher. But his problem was that he did not have any Genuine Deity Stage monster beast blood left at that time. So, he thought about whether he should go hunt monster beasts while he waited to attend the banquet.

Hmm!

"I'd rather go hunting first. Since I have free time."

"Sigh. I really don't want to get busy, but it couldn't be helped."
