“This is?”

“What are the Wushang up to?”

The soldiers were astonished. The impressive size of this group made them rather uneasy. They weren’t planning on preventing them from leaving, were they?

Wang Chong silently smiled.

As expected, they came!

Wang Chong’s face was indifferent, as if he had long expected this sight.

“Chief is being too courteous.”

Before the Wushang Chief could come over, Wang Chong turned around and went to welcome him.

“Lord Marquis, my apologies; this decrepit one has come late. Last night, Lord Marquis disregarded past wrongs and assisted us. This great favor and kindness will be engraved in the hearts of every villager until death,” the white-haired elder solemnly said.

“Chief is too polite. It was just a simple gesture.”

Wang Chong waved his hand, not treating the matter very seriously. He had prepared that medicine for them in the first place.

“Big Brother, thank you for saving my grandpa.”

A sticky-sounding voice came from the side as Fang Xiaoyan raised her head and gave her own sincere thanks.

When he saw this girl’s sincere face and recalled how, twenty-five years later, she would be so savage, willful, and unreasonable, Wang Chong almost broke into laughter.

“There’s no need to be polite. It was just a trifle.”

Wang Chong patted her on the head.

With the girl’s words, the atmosphere on both sides relaxed.

“Lord Marquis, our gratitude is indescribable. Yesterday, we were too rude. No matter what, I request for Lord Marquis to stay in our Wushang Village for a few more days. Lingering for a little longer will also allow us to display our gratitude as hosts,” the white-haired elder said.

Many things could only be discovered long after the event. Last night, even with Wang Chong’s help, eight villagers who had suffered early breakouts had died on the Night of the Lunar Eclipse before they could receive Wang Chong’s medicine.

The symptoms of their illnesses had been exactly the same as everyone else’s.

Just thinking about the fact that four or five thousand villagers had had flare-ups of their disease on the Night of the Lunar Eclipse left them shivering in fear. If not for Wang Chong, last night would have been an unimaginable tragedy.

It was not one bit excessive to say that Wang Chong was the savior of the Wushang. No matter how they repaid it, it would never be enough.

When they thought about the cold, harsh, and disaffected attitude they had treated Wang Chong and Li Siye with during the day, even the Wushang Chief couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

“Haha, I appreciate Chief’s kindness, but there’s no need for a prolonged stay. We have some other matters to attend to, so we must take our leave.”

To the surprise of the Wushang, Wang Chong waved his hands and refused them.

So surprising was this answer that the Wushang Chief and the elders were momentarily at a loss for words.
