Just as the words left his mouth, a familiar figure appeared in the distance, drawing the attention of the crowd.
Look, it's Gao Shun.
It's him; he must have come with good news.
Indeed, just by looking at his joyful demeanor, one could tell that he had something positive to share. This was the first time I had seen him so happy.
Shall we take a guess?
What is there to guess? It's clearly good news!
A sense of joy filled the air among the crowd.
As the chatter and laughter grew louder, Gao Shun approached his family members.
What are you discussing, Grandfather and Uncles?
Gao leaned on his cane, gently tapping those who were laughing the loudest, advising them to behave with a bit more decorum.
After saying that, he turned to Gao Shun and asked,
Several uncles guessed that you brought good news.
Gao Shun's lips curled into a slight smile, unable to contain his joy.
Indeed, they were quite perceptive.
It truly is good news. I have met with that immortal, and he has agreed to take us in.
But he has a few small requests.
Hearing this, the Gao family members all focused intently on Gao Shun.
Are you keeping us in suspense? Hurry up and tell us!
Don’t say just one request; if the immortal is willing to take us in, we would accept even dozens of requests without hesitation.
Gao Shun chuckled and replied,
It’s not that exaggerated. The immortal is kind-hearted and has only one request: we must never act recklessly.
I have already sworn an oath to him.
If any of my family members dares to act recklessly, I will personally deal with that person in front of the Immortal.
Shh!
The Gao Family looked at Gao Shun in astonishment. They all understood that once Gao Shun made a promise, he would never go back on it. Whatever he said he would do, he would undoubtedly follow through.
Therefore, if someone truly dared to misbehave in the future, Gao Shun would definitely take action. He would ensure that the culprit was dealt with by the Immortal.
However, they all had great confidence in their own character and knew they were not the kind of people who would act wantonly. If anyone had such thoughts, during this long journey of fleeing, the elderly, weak, and sick would have become a burden long ago; they could have easily abandoned these individuals to seek their own survival.
But no one did that.
Gao Shun, do you not know our true nature? How could we engage in such unlawful acts?
Gao Shun raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "When it comes to trust, I wouldn’t dare give such a guarantee to the Immortal."
Hearing this, everyone felt much more relaxed and burst into laughter.
By the way, what kind of Immortal is that? What was the reason behind the sudden thunder and lightning just now?
That's right! What have you experienced in Zhao Family Village?
Everyone began to speak at once, leaving Gao Shun a bit overwhelmed. He quickly waved his hand and laughed, "Everyone, please wait a moment. Can we take turns asking questions?"
With everyone's consent, a well-organized line quickly formed. Gao Shun patiently answered each person's questions and recounted his experiences in Zhao Family Village, including the altercation he had with Yun Yi. As he spoke, the expressions of the Gao Family members shifted between surprise and contemplation, like a sudden storm breaking across a clear summer sky.
Once the story concluded, Gao gently patted Gao Shun on the shoulder and said, "It is precisely because of your efforts that you have caught the attention of the immortal. But remember, do not become arrogant due to this favor, understand?"
Gao Shun nodded solemnly, determination shining in his eyes. "Grandfather, I understand."
Gao nodded in return and turned to the crowd behind him. "Alright, let’s not linger outside any longer; let’s head into the village."
With that, the members of the Gao Family followed Gao Shun, leading their livestock alongside Li Che as they entered Zhao Family Village. As they walked, they greeted their clansmen warmly. They saw those neatly arranged refugees waiting for assistance—like them, these were desperate souls seeking help.
The Gao Family scanned the refugees and felt a wave of gratitude wash over them. They were fortunate to have encountered Dian Wei and Chu Yan; otherwise, they might have ended up as nothing more than bones in a grave.
Continuing forward, Gao Shun pointed to a group of refugees sitting on the ground drinking porridge. "That’s where they serve porridge. After registering their Basic Information, the refugees can receive a bowl of Tang Zhou."
"Tang Zhou?" someone asked.
"Yes, it is indeed sweet porridge made with sugar."
