Chapter 372 - 372 Selfish People!
Ai Yeqing said to everyone, "No, I was not deceived. This is my master. He can help us heal our illnesses. His medical skills are excellent. Please believe me!"
"Him?"
Everyone looked at Qin Feng.
Old Village Chief sized up Qin Feng and said, "Young man, where are you from?"
"Lake City."
"Lake City? Where is that?"
"Uh, it's a small city in Hanjiang Province."
"…"
Upon hearing this, Old Village Chief and the others said, "So he is a person from the mortal world!"
Their expressions immediately turned cold.
Old Village Chief then said to Ai Yeqing, "You actually believe a person from the mortal world? And to think you are the one in our village with the best cultivation!"
"Being deceived is one thing, but why are you calling him 'Master'?"
"Do you know how embarrassing it is to acknowledge a person from the mortal world as your master? If other villages find out, they will laugh their heads off!"
"…"
Ai Yeqing's eyebrows were tightly furrowed as she said, "He really can help."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng shook his head and said, "No, I can't help."
"What?"
Ai Yeqing looked up at him.
Old Village Chief and the others were even more angered and said, "See? He can't help at all. How could a person from the mortal world possibly be capable? Little Ai, what should we say about you!"
At this point, Ai Yeqing was also anxious and hurriedly asked Qin Feng again, "What's going on? Didn't you say it was no problem?"
The reason she believed Qin Feng.
Was because during the previous boxing match, she had pushed her potential to the limit to stop Huoshadao from dislocating her arm, and at the most critical moment, she pushed her potential again, causing her to suffer a severe internal injury.
She knew her own injuries well, unable to get out of bed for at least three months.
But.
Qin Feng had healed her effortlessly while she was sleeping.
Such medical skills were rare for her to see.
Additionally.
In Yanjing, he helped Phoenix advance to Grandmaster status, which further affirmed his superior medical skills and increased her confidence in him.
Unexpectedly, he now said he could not help.
"It's not that I am incapable." Qin Feng then stood with his hands behind him, adopting an arrogant posture, and said, "Rather, I feel that these people are not worth helping. If they died, it would just purify the air."
"What?!"
Seeing this, Old Village Chief and the others became so furious that their faces turned livid, and they started scolding Qin Feng.
Qin Feng ignored their curses as if they were merely farting, and turned to Ai Yeqing, "You have been working so hard for them. They don't appreciate it and keep accusing you instead. Do you think they deserve your help?" My Vi@r$t@ua^l Li@br!ary+ E#m@pi#re@ (*) a&p%p$r&e.ciat&es@ y.o@u!r! r!e#ader&s&h-i$p# at the s!ource.
"…"
Ai Yeqing then understood what Qin Feng meant. Her face turned gloomy as she said, "No matter what, I have to help them. I grew up here…"
A long time ago.
The village chief of the village was her father.
Once, a fierce beast suddenly attacked the village, and her parents fought a deadly battle with the beast to protect the village, eventually both perished along with the beast.
In his dying moments.
Her father told her that he was the village chief, so he must also protect the village's safety and asked her to forgive his selfishness.
That incident left a very deep impression on Ai Yeqing.
Therefore, whenever the village faced a crisis, she too must protect it like her parents did!
"Ah..."
Qin Feng sighed.
He never expected someone who usually looked so fierce, to have such a kind heart.
He thought for a moment, then added, "How about this! It's okay to treat them, but they must apologize to you."
Upon his words,
The Old Village Chief shouted at Qin Feng again, "What? Apologize to a junior? Are you out of your mind? She couldn't help everyone, and she hasn't even apologized. Now you want us to apologize?"
"Get out of the village! We don't welcome people from the Mortal World!"
"..."
Seeing the situation, Qin Feng said helplessly to Ai Yeqing, "You see, it's not that I don't give a chance, they themselves are asking for death. But don't worry, from their condition, they will probably die from illness in a few days, and then they will apologize to you."
"No, help them now."
Ai Yeqing frowned and said.
At that moment,
The Old Village Chief and the others, tired of hurling abuses, turned to Ai Yeqing, "Little Ai, how about this! Our only hope now is the Hundred Herbs Hall, they have plenty of elixirs, and their Hall Master's two people like you. Why don't you agree to this marriage arrangement?"
"No way!" Ai Yeqing hurriedly said.
"No way?" The Old Village Chief became unhappy and said, "What reason do you have to refuse? If it weren't for your failure to get the Rejuvenation Pill, would it be necessary to do this?"
"Exactly, it's all your fault we have no hope for our village."
"We know you are aggrieved, but we should consider the bigger picture. Sacrificing personal interest for the greater good is only natural."
"..."
Qin Feng couldn't stand it anymore and exclaimed, "All of you talk about considering the bigger picture, sacrificing individuals, why don't you do it yourselves?"
"I, we..." those people stuttered, saying, "We are not women, if I were, it would definitely work, and I would be very willing to contribute to the village."
"That's right, you think we are as selfish as you are? Despicable!"
"..."
Qin Feng regretted it.
He should never have reasoned with them.
Ai Yeqing also felt a chill in her heart, about to refuse again, but Qin Feng stopped her.
Qin Feng said to her, "Listen to them, make a trip to the Hundred Herbs Hall tomorrow!"
Ai Yeqing saw him wink, knowing he had another plan, and nodded.
The Old Village Chief and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After everyone dispersed.
Qin Feng also went home with Ai Yeqing.
Grandpa Ai was feeding the chickens in the yard. Seeing them return, he smiled and said, "I heard you went to the village square, how did it go?"
"Not so good, those people are simply unreasonable," Qin Feng said, clicking his tongue.
"Hehe, you'll get used to it. Human nature is like this, once you understand, you let it go."
Grandpa Ai laughed.
"True as that may be, but we can't pander to them," Qin Feng remarked. "If they don't come to beg her, I absolutely will not treat them. They must taste despair."
"They still have the Hundred Herbs Hall to rely on."
Grandpa Ai said with a bitter smile.
At this point, Ai Yeqing also turned to ask Qin Feng, "By the way, why did you ask me to agree to go to the Hundred Herbs Hall tomorrow?"
"Of course, to let them despair!" Qin Feng shrugged and said, "Aren't they still relying on the Hundred Herbs Hall? Once we take care of the Hundred Herbs Hall, they'll have only me to rely on."
"..."
Hearing this, Ai Yeqing was speechless, saying, "You better not mess around, the Hundred Herbs Hall is one of the rare elixir Sects. Although not very large, because it supplies elixirs to many forces, it has some status and can invite many experts. If you force their hand, it might end up annihilating the entire village."
