Chapter 906: Choose the Person Who Will Receive the Divine Medicine
After receiving the message from his daughter, Li-Gao's expression suddenly darkened visibly. This made Li-Feng-Jun and the others feel bad as well.
Of course, Zheng-Fu could guess that Li-Gao had to have received some kind of message from his daughter. "Sectmaster, is she coming here?" Zheng-Fu asked directly.
Umm!
Li-Gao nodded in reply helplessly. He did not know what to do about this. It was not that he did not want to help his daughter. But he could not ignore Zheng-Fu's feelings either. Therefore, he was very distressed and sad.
"Sectmaster, don't worry! Let her come here. I'll talk to her about this myself!" Zheng-Fu knew that hiding was useless. So, he thought of talking to Li-Xiao-Yue himself.
"I must apologize to you! I don't think my daughter will be like this because you're the first man who made her fall in love to the point where she's willing to do things that she has never done before. Even willing to risk her life for you. Therefore, as a father, I want to request something from you! I beg you to accept her love!"
Thump!
"Sectmaster!"
"You stupid son!"
Everyone was shocked by Li-Gao's actions. He suddenly walked over, knelt, and begged earnestly in front of Zheng-Fu. It made the atmosphere in the room feel uncomfortable. And the person who looked the most uncomfortable seemed to be Zheng-Fu. Because he did not know what to do now.
"Sectmaster, please get up! Don't do this. It's inappropriate," Zheng-Fu hurriedly stopped Li-Gao and helped lift him.
"No! I won't get up. I'll kneel like this until you accept my daughter's love!" Li-Gao had firmly determined that he would do whatever it took to make Zheng-Fu accept his daughter's love. Even if it meant losing his reputation or honor.
"Sectmaster!"
"Xiao-Gao! You shouldn't make Zheng-Fu Kid even more uncomfortable. Even though you love Xiao-Yue so much, you shouldn't do this to put pressure on him," Elder Li-Feng-Jun scolded Li-Gao. He felt troubled by what his son had done. Even though he wanted Zheng-Fu to accept his granddaughter's love, he would not force anyone because he believed that love depended on two people.
"But Father..."
"Sectmaster, I cannot accept her love right now. And I'll explain it to her after she gets here. So, please get up first!" Zheng-Fu was extremely embarrassed. He thought that such a thing should never happen. But suddenly...
Krzzz!!! Krzzz!!!
The message notification sounded. Li-Xiao-Yue, who was watching the scene, sent a message to her father to get up first. And she would go talk to Zheng-Fu herself.
"I have to apologize to you! I just…" Li-Gao said in a sad tone.
"I understand, Sectmaster! I don't think too much. Hmm! I think that's all we should talk about today. I have to go get some rest. When she arrives, I'll talk to her," Zheng-Fu concluded. He didn't want to say anything further at that time. He, therefore, chose to go to rest because Da-Ge and Ba-Ong were very tired and wanted to rest as well.
"Umm! If so, let you rest to the fullest. Wait until Yue-Er arrives and then let's talk again!" Li-Feng-Jun nodded in agreement because, at that time, the atmosphere in the room was not very good. If everyone continued to stay, it would not be beneficial to both sides.
"Yes, sir!"
After they dispersed, Zheng-Fu returned to his tent to rest. In this tent, Li-Gao had ordered people to prepare the beds and a fireplace for them. The tent was not very large, but the interior was quite luxurious, which was considered a high-class tent compared to other tents.
"Considering Miss Li-Xiao-Yue's personality, she definitely won't give up and stop liking me easily, so what should I do?" Zheng-Fu tried to think of a way to deal with this matter. It would be difficult to make Li-Xiao-Yue stop thinking about following him to Deity Land.
"Then why don't you accept her love, Kid!" Suddenly, the Elder within the Heavenly Flora Garden who had not spoken to Zheng-Fu for a long time spoke up.
Hah!
"Hmm! It's not that I don't want to do that. But I can't. My main mission is to help Fu-Er. I may have to encounter many more dangers. If I accept her love and let her go along with me, and if something bad happens, I'll definitely be very sad. So, I can't accept her love right now!" Zheng-Fu did not scold the Elder like usual. He just spoke in a strained tone.
Sigh!
"I really don't understand you, Kid. If it were me or any other man in this world, they wouldn't let such a beautiful woman go. They would probably choose to take her as their second wife. Because it seems like she agreed and was willing to do so!" the Elder said, shaking his head, unable to understand Zheng-Fu's thoughts. Because he had never met someone like this before.
"That was someone else, not me! By the way, is an old man like you so lonely that you come out to talk to me? You've been quiet for a long time, haven't you? Or are you planning something evil?" After talking with the Elder, Zheng-Fu's mood improved and he was ready to harass the Elder as usual.
Tch!
"Even if I really have an evil plan, I won't tell you, Kid! I didn't say anything because I tend to be sleepy lately. That's why I need to get a lot of rest," the Elder argued. He was a little dissatisfied when Zheng-Fu accused him of this. But he was not angry and teased him back.
Ha ha ha!
"Old people are like this. You like to sleep because you don't have the energy to do anything!"
"You think you'll never grow old, Kid? But why don't you take your Deity Medicine to increase your energy level to the Deity stage?" The Elder did not want to argue with Zheng-Fu so he changed the subject.
"I'll use it later. There are too many people right now and there are still problems that I haven't dealt with yet. So, I postponed it!" Zheng-Fu replied.
Umm!
Seeing that Zheng-Fu already had his plans, the Elder did not ask any more questions. He went back to hibernating inside the Heavenly Peach Tree, which was full of fruit. Because Zheng-Fu had not used Heavenly Peach in a long time. There were dozens of peach fruits on the tree. And it seemed that there were slight changes in these peaches as well.
Two days passed...
Wolf Valley Village was finally back to being empty of people as usual. Because everyone thought that Deity treasure did not actually exist. So, people did not continue to waste time here. Only the Heavenly Command Sect group and the seven Elders remained because they had nothing special to do.
These past two days, they had talked with Zheng-Fu about many things. In addition, they, including Da-Ge and Ba-Ong, exchanged knowledge and experiences with each other. And on this second day, Li-Xiao-Yue arrived at Wolf Valley Village.
At the main tent of Heavenly Command Sect...
Everyone had gathered together. Zheng-Fu sat on one side of the tent with Da-Ge and Ba-Ong sitting on either side of him. A group of Pillar Elders sat on the other side, including Li-Gao and Li-Xiao-Yue. As for Elder Li-Feng-Jun, he sat in the middle of the tent.
"We have two topics to discuss today. The first one is about the Deity Medicine given to us by Zheng-Fu Kid. We'll decide on who to give it to. The second one is the matter of Zheng-Fu Kid and Yue-Er. We'll start with the first matter first." Elder Li-Feng-Jun opened the meeting.
"As for the first matter, I'd prefer not to interfere or participate in the decision-making. Because I have given you Deity Medicine. May you all agree as you like. As for the second matter, I would have to speak to her privately. I hope everyone doesn't mind." Zheng-Fu raised his hand to express his opinion after the Elder finished speaking.
"We understand. Then my son, my granddaughter, the Five Pillar Elders, and I will decide on Deity Medicine. But I want you to stay and listen. Can you?" Elder knew why Zheng-Fu didn't want to get involved. He therefore did not object. Just ask him to stay and listen.
"Yes, of course," Zheng-Fu replied with a slight nod, before sitting quietly without saying anything else.
"Alright, everyone! It's time to decide who among the seven of you will receive this Deity Medicine. Because I'm already at the Deity stage, this pill is more important to you guys!" The Elder began by addressing those qualified to use Deity Medicine and let them decide together.
"I hereby nominate Yue-Er to receive the medicinal pill!" Li-Gao was the first to nominate. He wanted to help his daughter to the utmost in this matter.
"I'd like to nominate myself as well!" Li-Xiao-Yue nominated herself. Because she was determined to follow Zheng-Fu to Deity Land.
"I hereby nominate Sectmaster!" Elder Guan-Wu nominated Li-Gao. Because he did not want Li-Xiao-Yue to encounter danger. Besides, she was not ready to step onto the Deity Stage just yet.
"I also support Section-master!"
"I support Section-master as well!"
Second Elder and Third Elder also agreed with Elder Guan-Wu to support Li-Gao. Thus, it became three votes for Li-Gao and two votes for Li-Xiao-Yue. There were still Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, and Elder Li-Feng-Jun who had not voted. And these remaining three votes could change everything if two out of three choose Li-Xiao-Yue.
"I'd like to vote Sectmaster as well." After the Fourth Elder thought for a moment, he chose Li-Gao to receive the pill. This made Li-Gao's scores further away from Li-Xiao-Yue. But if the young woman got the last two votes it would be a draw. And they had to start voting again by nominating more people.
"For me... I vote for Young Miss Xiao-Yue!" The Fifth Elder chose Li-Xiao-Yue. Because he pitied her and wanted her hopes to be fulfilled.
Therefore, the final decision was based on Elder Li-Feng-Jun's vote. If he chose Xiao-Yue, then they had to cancel all previous votes and vote all over again. But if he chose Li-Gao, everything would be over and concluded immediately.
"For me... I... I choose to give the pill to..."
