Chapter 1082 1082: Wu-Qi-Fong's Decision
At Wu Clan's main hall...
After the clan leader and the clan's important persons had finished meeting and discussing Zheng-Fu's proposal, they immediately ordered servants to rearrange the meeting hall into a banquet hall.
"Father, I think Little Comrade Zheng-Fu's offer is very interesting. And I think our clan will have better luck if we accept it," Wu-Guan said, walking over and speaking to his father after seeing that they had a chance to be together. Because he wanted his father to accept this offer.
"I understand you, Xiao-Guan! But others did not agree with me. Because they think that this offer is not worth it enough. Therefore, we must put this matter on hold and wait for him to come here to negotiate. If he still insists on giving us just that, we probably won't be able to accept his offer." Wu-Qi-Fong understood what his eldest son wanted to convey. But because the majority of elders said that this offer was not worth accepting, he could not do anything.
Sigh!
"Then I'll go to welcome him first. At least, if this agreement isn't reached, we can still maintain good friendships in the future!" Wu-Guan sighed sadly. He knew that his father was troubled by this matter. Therefore, he had to change the subject and excuse himself to greet Zheng-Fu.
"Good! You can go! I believed that he was a reasonable person. No matter what the outcome is!"
"All right, Father!"
In front of the entrance to the main conference hall...
Zheng-Fu!
As soon as Wu-Mei saw Zheng-Fu approaching the entrance, she immediately shouted to him with a friendly smile before rushing toward him.
"Earlier, I went to see you in your room. But you didn't respond, so I didn't disturb you and came back here to wait for you!" Wu-Mei sounded a little embarrassed. She wanted to go talk to Zheng-Fu. But he did not reply to her at all, so she did not dare enter his room.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Zheng-Fu was slightly shocked to hear that. But he kept his expression normal and asked her back.
"I just... I just wanted to ask how our room and our care are. In case there's anything wrong, I'll prepare it for you!" Wu-Mei was slightly hesitant to answer. But in the end, she spoke up.
"Everything is fine. I'm satisfied with what your Wu Clan has provided. I'm a simple person, so I don't want anything luxurious or special. By the way, can we enter the banquet yet? I'm starting to feel hungry. When I smelled the aroma of the food, my stomach growled. Look!" Zheng-Fu knew that what Wu-Mei wanted to say was not like that. But he did not think of forcing her to speak. So, he changed the topic to food. And he was really hungry; he was not lying at all.
Ah!
"Then please come inside. I'll take you in!" Wu-Mei regained her composure from Zheng-Fu's words. She just realized that it was bad manners to hold up Zheng-Fu there, so she hurriedly stepped aside and extended her hand to invite him before leading him inside.
Comrade Zheng-Fu!
Little Sister!
As the two walked past the door and went inside, Wu-Guan walked over and saw them. So, he called them out and hurriedly approached with a friendly smile.
"Big Brother, you came to welcome Zheng-Fu as well? So let's go inside. He said he's starting to get hungry. If you have something to talk about, let's talk inside!" Wu-Mei understood her big brother's expression and immediately knew that Wu-Guan was definitely going to talk to Zheng-Fu. Therefore, she spoke up to warn Wu-Guan that what he was about to do was inappropriate.
Oh!
"Then let's go inside. Father and other elders are waiting for us!" Wu-Guan was smart, so he understood the connotations of his younger sister's words. He suppressed his thoughts and words before leading the two of them to the dining table that had been prepared for Zheng-Fu.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
"Is that him?"
"He still looks so young!"
"We don't know who he is or where he comes from. But we can consider him a friend since he saved our clan's descendants!"
"True! Even though he offered us such a condition!"
As soon as Zheng-Fu walked inside, the chatter of the people in the Wu Clan suddenly softened. They only heard their leader and Wu-Guan talking about Zheng-Fu and saying what Zheng-Fu wanted. Even though that offer was unforgivable, they did not think much of it. Because their leader said that Zheng-Fu was not forcing them. He was just proposing it for them to consider.
Ahem!
Wu-Qi-Fong, who was sitting at the table in the middle of the hall, suddenly coughed up to attract the attention of everyone who was talking to look at him, before speaking, "Everyone probably knows who this Little Comrade is. He's the one who saved my three children. And of course, he helped prevent our advanced Heavenly Skill treatises from being taken away. And the banquet being held tonight is to thank him. Come on! Little Comrade Zheng-Fu, please take a seat first. I'll drink this first tumbler for you!" Wu-Qi-Fong knew that everyone present already knew who Zheng-Fu was and why this banquet was being held. But he still had to speak again and invited Zheng-Fu to sit before drinking for him.
"Thank you, Wu Clan Leader and everyone in Wu Clan, for welcoming me. I'm not a person who adheres to any formalities. But since everyone has arranged this banquet for me, I'd like to drink for you all as well! Gurg!" Zheng-Fu smiled slightly before picking up a tumbler filled with liquor. He then thanked everyone present in a resonant voice. And when he finished speaking, he drank all the liquor in the tumbler.
Thump!
Good! Good! Good!
"We'll drink for Little Comrade as well!"
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
Even though everyone had been a little upset before because they were dissatisfied with Zheng-Fu's proposal and worried that he would be the arrogant type of person, when they saw Zheng-Fu's sincere expression, they all admired it and changed their attitudes toward him. They willingly raised the tumblers of liquor and drank it for him.
"Since everyone is ready, let's start the banquet. Let the girl dancers come in!" Wu-Qi-Fong never thought that Zheng-Fu would be able to change the gloomy atmosphere for the better with just a few sentences. It made him admire and like Zheng-Fu even more. Therefore, in order not to spoil the atmosphere, he announced the start of the banquet so that everyone could eat until they were full first. Then they would talk about Zheng-Fu's proposal later.
Good!
"Then I'm not considerate anymore. I'm really hungry right now. Plus, all of this food looks so tasty!" Zheng-Fu also did not want to talk about his proposal just yet. He did not want the atmosphere to be tense and wanted to be accepted by the people in the Wu Clan first. Besides, the food in front of him looked so appetizing that his mouth watered.
Another hour passed...
Burp!!!
"Wu Clan's food is truly amazing. It's so tasty that I can't stop eating!"
After Zheng-Fu started eating, he quickly ate every dish on the table. And he asked for several sets more as if his stomach was filled with air. The amount he ate was equal to the food of dozens of people.
"If Comrade Zheng-Fu still wants to eat, I'll have our servants serve some more, is that good?" Wu-Guang had just recovered his senses from the shock of seeing the amount of food Zheng-Fu had eaten. He did not know what to say other than asking if Zheng-Fu wanted to eat anymore.
"That's enough, Comrade. My stomach is about to burst." Zheng-Fu knew that he had now shocked everyone with his stomach being like a black hole. Actually, he could keep eating. But he was also a person who knew what was appropriate and what was not, so he stopped there.
"All right! I think it's time we talked about my proposal. I don't know what conclusions you guys reached from the meeting?" Zheng-Fu changed his expression to become more serious when it came to the condition he offered the Wu Clan. Because he saw that enough time had passed.
Ah!
As soon as Zheng-Fu spoke, everyone's smiles turned serious. However, their expressions did not look uncomfortable. Because Zheng-Fu let them know his true intentions. Moreover, the friendliness that Zheng-Fu had shown over the past hour made them relax.
"We've already discussed it. We probably couldn't accept that offer. Although the two intermediate Deity Soul Skill treatises are interesting, we don't know what kind of skills those are. And are they suitable for us to practice or not? But if you increase your offer..."
"I already thought that you guys wouldn't accept just that. But first, I must tell you guys about the two skills I'll give you. The first one is an energy cultivation type skill. You all know how valuable it is. The other one was a saber skill that would be very suitable for the Wu Clan's members. Because I noticed that almost everyone who uses weapons uses a saber. But since you said these two treatise skills are insufficient, I'll add one more thing. But if this is not enough to get you to agree, then let's assume that we've never talked about this matter."
"Energy cultivation type skill!?"
"That is two or three times more valuable than a fighting skill. Moreover, another skill is also a saber skill. Our Wu Clan is mainly trained in saber. This is perfect!"
"If we had known before, we would have accepted it from the beginning."
"But he said he would add one more thing for us just now. What is it?"
At this time, many people had expressions of anticipation and excitement. Just an energy cultivation skill treatise made their hearts flutter. There was also a saber skill that they knew was very good for them as well, because everyone would be able to practice. However, they still wanted to know what one more thing Zheng-Fu would give them.
"Little Comrade, if you had told us from the beginning that you'd have given us an energy cultivation skill, we'd have decided to accept your offer without hesitation. And there's no need to add anything!" Wu-Qi-Fong's whole body trembled when he realized that. He no longer thought too much and was worried about Zheng-Fu's proposal. If only he had known this from the beginning, he would have been ready to persuade the other members to accept Zheng-Fu's offer. And at that moment, to make Zheng-Fu feel good, he refused the third thing.
Clan Leader!!!
Wu-Qi-Fong's words stunned the other elders. In the meeting just now, Wu-Qi-Fong did not say much and did not appear to seriously agree. However, the Clan Leader's expression had already changed. And when they saw that, all the elders could only accept it. Since Wu-Qi-Fong's opinion was the most important. Without him, the Wu Clan would not have been as strong and stable for so long until now.
