CH. 71 – First Class Nobles

The words that came out of Shen Shen's mouth had managed to make Yang Zi and Zhou Fu laugh in relief. In fact, Feng Yaoshan who was in a semi-conscious state was now seen trying to get up and seemed to want to convey a sentence.

“Shen My yang can't go hungry. Give him a lot of food, cepaat..” said Feng Yaoshan stammeringly.

“No. He can't be fed yet!” zhou Fu replied while channeling a deep flow of energy into Shen Shen's body, “his body is still too weak. It was likely that he had not even been strong at chewing. It would be dangerous if he choked on his own food. I'll recover his strength first.”

“Sister, what can I help you with? Does brother Zhou need anything?” yang Zi asked Zhou Fu. He was not used to being quiet and just looking, if his hands could help something then the girl would be happy to give help.

“You can help the boy, he fell off a cliff and his ass hit the rocks. It seems to be quite painful. The state of his bodyguard makes it impossible to help him, if you are willing, you can contribute your strength,” Zhou Fu said as he pointed towards the weakly drooping Feng Yaoshan.

“So, young master fell from a height?” ask the bodyguard Feng Yaoshan.

“Ah, damn boy...I told you not to say it..” said Feng Yaoshan snorted in annoyance.

“Quiet, your Shen Yang won't hear it!” zhou Fu replied.

“Who said... My body is weak, but my ears are not deaf..” Shen Shen Shen murmured like a delirious person.

“Ha ha, already already.. No need to fuss anymore, the important thing is we all survived and tomorrow we can leave together to go home to Caihong!” Yang Zi mediated.

“Besama-sama?!!” said Zhou Fu and Feng Yaoshan simultaneously. Although it did not hold a grudge against Feng Yasohan, Zhou Fu was not very interested in traveling with the noble child. According to him, Feng Yaoshan's existence would only add to the burden on his shoulders.

Likewise with Feng Yaoshan, although he did not hate Zhou Fu, he was also not interested in going together with Zhou Fu. He only wanted to return to Caihong with Shen Shen and his bodyguards.

“Yes! Together! The existence of young master Feng Yaoshan will benefit our trip to Caihong. As a first-rate noble, he has many privileges that apply throughout the entire mainland of Caihong,” explained Yang Zi, who was a member of the royal family, he had now been by Feng Yaoshan's side and was preparing to provide healing assistance to the man.

“Yes, what this lady said is true. It would be better if we were together,” the eunuch who was still injured was more agreeable if they all traveled together. Of course the existence of Zhou Fu on the same side would be enough to make his task lighter.

“Alright well.. Means from tomorrow my load amounted to four. Good, I hope your family will give me abundant rewards!” said Zhou Fu ending the deliberation at that time.

“If you have no intention of chasing after my Shen Yang, I can wake up a palace for you!”

The sunlight was warm when it touched Shen Shen's pale complexion. The girl was currently on Zhou Fu's back, still drooping helplessly but her consciousness had already recovered perfectly. After months of wandering the sunless world, Shen Shen seemed very happy to be reunited with the sun. His mouth seemed to want to say the words, but fatigue and hunger prevented the lips from speaking.

That morning, a group of five was walking together to the inn where Zhou Fu had left his horse. Every inch of their steps, became the center of attention of the people around the river Juda. Naturally, because it was the first time they had seen a descendant of a first-class noble family, stopping at the border area.

“I heard, a first-rate noble family never even set foot on the ground. It seems like the news is not true!” whispered a man to his partner.

“Yes. I've heard it too. Maybe he had bad luck on the way. Isn't it strange that a first-rate noble's son wanders around in this place?” his friend replied.

The chatter of the two men could be heard by everyone in Zhou Fu's entourage, the curious Zhou Fu finally asked.

“Hey, how can a human live without stepping on the ground?” zhou Fu asked Feng Yaoshan.

“It was natural to happen in a first-class noble family environment, but it used to be. Our previous generations seemed quite brazen. They walked on a stretcher carried by the guards, and felt that only the people of the lower caste set foot on the ground.”

Yang Zi also told about the youth of his father who liked to protest the central government related to the privileges of first-class nobles who almost equal the position of the god. Yang Zi's father had enough supporters that he later succeeded in occupying an important position within the Caihong nobility.

“Doesn't that mean your father will be bullied by a first-class noble member?” Zhou Fu furrowed his brows, starting to think about the mastermind behind Shen Shen and Yang Zi's abduction.

“That's what I want to prove. Honey, even though I have some pointers, I still insist that the position is fine,” said Yang Zi.

“It's not true! We from a first-rate noble family quite appreciate the movement led by your father,” replied Feng Yaoshan who as if did not accept members of his noble class suspected.

“We'll see later!” Zhou Fu muttered softly.

The old grandmother of the inn owner looked trembling as soon as she heard that the two guests had a close relationship with the young noble master Caihong. His body seemed to tremble as he greeted the five people in one group in his simple inn.

“Not to worry so, Grandma. We didn't come to punish you!” yang Zi said with a smile and patted the grandmother on the shoulder, “just make us a snack and breakfast, this young master will forgive the mistakes of grandma.”

“He was about to poison us earlier!” chirping Zhou Fu when he saw Feng Yaoshan seemed confused by the circumstances in front of him.

“M…. Forgive me sir... I will not repeat it again. Forgive my life...” said the grandmother was terrified.

“Make us food first, only later will your sin be forgiven!” tukas Zhou Fu's.

The grandmother thanked him many times, he then resigned and prepared to make food. After a while, the grandmother served various dishes to her guests.

“Everyone is spiked with poison?” Zhou Fu asked.

“Yes, young master. Sorry for my mistake yesterday.”

“Alright, try tasting first!” Feng Yaoshan invited the grandmother to taste. The grandmother complied, and she began to put some food in her mouth. After a while, nothing happened because there was no poison there.

“Good. Stay here and don't go anywhere!” zhou Fu's orders to the grandmother.

Now, everyone was devouring each other in great excitement. Except for Feng Yaoshan, the young man chose to sit next to Shen Shen and seemed to be busy taking various dishes to Shen Shen's bowl. Although the girl still did not want to talk to him, he was quite happy just to see her eat greedily.

After everything was finished eating the morning, Zhou Fu stood up from his chair and with a barely caught eye he drew his sword right in the heart of the innkeeper's grandmother.

“This gift for grandma!”

Jolbb!

The grandmother died before she could understand the situation. Everyone was shocked by what Zhou Fu had done.

“He has killed many innocent lives. If it is not finished now, it could be that the victims will increase in number! Think of this as retaliation from the victims he has been harming all this time!” zhou Fu explained to his colleagues.

“Yes, the young master's decision has a point,” bodyguard Feng Yaoshan nodded his head in confirming Zhou Fu's actions. Evil people do not need to be forgiven sometimes because forgiveness can only give them the opportunity to do evil again.

“Alright whatever you say. Clearly, I was ready to return to Caihong. Let's hurry up!” said Feng Yaoshan excitedly.
