Having the ability doesn't mean he's willing to do it.
In Jiang Zhengzhong's view, the Luo family no longer has the ability to repay its debts, which is why he was unwilling to immediately agree to help Luo Lin.
But now that a powerful expert at the Saint Realm is backing the Luo family, is there any need to worry about whether the Luo family has the ability to repay its debts?
Even if the Luo family doesn't repay a single penny in the future, Jiang Zhengzhong doesn't care.
Spending a little money to build a good relationship with a Saint Realm expert is an opportunity that countless people dream of. Only someone with a screw loose would be out of their mind to not understand this.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you." Night Breeze nodded in satisfaction.
"Of course, of course," Jiang Zhengzhong nodded repeatedly.
Once the business was over, all that followed was some pointless pleasantries.
Ye Feng had no interest in arguing with Jiang Zhengzhong, the city lord of Jiangxia City, and simply passed him on to Luo Lin, letting her communicate with him.
As night fell, Jiang Zhengzhong planned to host a banquet to welcome Ye Feng and his group.
But Ye Feng rejected the suggestion outright.
After all, Ye Feng didn't bring Rowling and the others here to enjoy life.
Moreover, countless refugees in Luoyun City now have nowhere to live and can only make ends meet by setting up tents outside the city walls of Jiangxia City. Their lives can be described as dire.
Under these circumstances, how could Ye Feng possibly be in the mood to enjoy any kind of dinner party!
After Jiang Zhengzhong left, the head of the guards, Chen He, entered the reception room and said, "Madam Luo, Jiang Wei has arrived and is waiting outside for an audience."
"Let him in quickly," Rowling said hastily.
"Yes, Mrs. Luo."
Chen He nodded and turned to leave. Not long after, he walked in with a fairly handsome young man.
This young man was none other than the vice-captain, Jiang Wei.
Upon entering the living room, Jiang Wei bowed deeply, paying his respects to Luo Lin and Luo Qing.
Then Jiang Wei looked at Ye Feng curiously, and Ye Feng joked, "What, haven't you ever seen an ancient relic that has lived from seven hundred years ago?"
"I've never seen anything like it before..."
Jiang Wei said, then realized what was happening and quickly bowed to Ye Feng: "Jiang Wei, deputy captain of the Luo family guard team, pays respects to the ancestor!"
"Get up," Ye Feng said, raising his hand.
Jiang Wei finally straightened up.
Ye Feng coughed and said, "Now that I have returned safely, I am the head of the Luo family from this day forward. Luo Lin and Luo Qing, do you two have any objections?"
Rowling naturally shook her head repeatedly.
Luo Qing said, "It should have been done long ago. It's better for you, Ancestor, to take on the responsibility of being the head of this family. I really can't bear it."
"Useless thing," Rowling muttered under her breath.
Luo Qing, however, showed an indifferent expression, ignoring Luo Lin's words.
Night Wind continued, "Then please stop calling me 'Ancestor' from now on, it makes it sound like I'm some kind of old man."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, the people in the reception room were momentarily speechless.
You're over 700 years old, aren't you old yet?
This is probably a shared thought in their minds.
But Ye Feng isn't actually that old; after all, he's not the real Ancestor Luo Tong.
"Enough with the nonsense, get to the report and get to the bottom of things," Night Wind commanded.
"Yes, Master."
Jiang Wei nodded, and then said methodically, "Patriarch, Madam Luo, Miss Luo, that day I led the people of Luoyun City to break through the north gate and encountered many Crimson-tailed Beasts. When we left the city, I led a total of more than 3,000 people, but when we arrived in Jiangxia City, only more than 1,300 people remained."
"Right now, these 1,300-plus people are barely surviving outside the walls of Jiangxia City, and many of them are injured and poisoned by the Crimson-tailed Beast."
Rowling asked, "The storage ring I told you to take with you back then..."
Jiang Wei replied, "Madam Luo, there are indeed some spirit stones in the storage ring you gave me. I gave half of them to the city lord of Jiangxia City, and I keep the other half with me."
As Jiang Wei finished speaking, he took off the dark storage ring from his wrist and presented it to Luo Lin with both hands.
Looking at the storage ring in front of her, Rowling finally felt much more at ease.
Although there aren't many spirit stones in the storage ring, it's better to have some than nothing.
"The situation is really serious," Zijing said.
"It is indeed very serious, but it hasn't reached the end of the road yet," Ye Feng said.
Looking at everyone present, Ye Feng continued, "Tomorrow we will set off for the capital. Zijing, you and Luo Xiaotong will come with me, as will Luo Qing. We will go to the palace together to meet the emperor."
"What? I want to go too?"
Zijing stared wide-eyed and pointed her finger at her nose as she exclaimed.
“Don’t you want to go? That’s not up to you. You have to go, even if you don’t want to,” Ye Feng said.
"Oh well, fine, fine, it's my fault for digging up your grave!" Zijing said.
Upon hearing Zijing's words, Luo Lin's pretty face immediately darkened, and she wished she could immediately pin Zijing to the ground and beat her up.
Ye Feng didn't take Zi Jing's teasing to heart. He was, after all, a powerful expert at the Void King Realm, and he wouldn't stoop to the level of arguing with a little girl.
"Lorraine, remember to visit the refugees outside the city more often and learn more about their living conditions," Night Wind said.
“Understood, Patriarch.” Rowling nodded without hesitation.
Then Ye Feng took out a thousand high-grade spirit stones from his storage ring and placed them on the table.
A thousand top-grade spirit stones were piled together, like a glittering little mountain, making the lights in the room pale in comparison.
Zijing was stunned, and Luo Lin and Luo Qing also stared wide-eyed in surprise.
After all, one thousand high-grade spirit stones equals ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones and one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.
That's no small amount!
“Patriarch, this…” Rowling asked excitedly.
Ye Feng said, "These spirit stones are for you. Use them as you see fit, and try not to waste them."
"Yes, Patriarch!" Rowling nodded heavily, her face glowing.
Chen He and Jiang Wei both breathed a long sigh of relief.
Chen He said with a smile, "I didn't expect the patriarch to be able to take out so many spirit stones. This has really relieved our urgent need."
“Of course, the patriarch is a Saint Realm expert, a mere thousand spirit stones is nothing to him,” Jiang Wei added.
Zijing exclaimed, "Ancestor Luo, you wouldn't have taken out your savings for your funeral, would you?"
"My coffin money?"
Rowling cried out in surprise, then suddenly drew her longsword and placed the gleaming blade against Zijing's neck.
"What did you just say? Say it again!" Rowling glared at Zijing and scolded her.
Zijing suddenly realized something, and her cheeks turned pale.
"I...I was just joking, did you have to react so strongly?" Zijing stammered.
