"Why would I lie to you!" Chen Ping said.
"Oh, what a pity, what a shame…"
Huomazi kept slapping his own thighs and lamenting his misfortune!
But what can we do, it's all a matter of mutual consent, and no one is being forced!
"Too bad, you're not short on women…"
Chen Ping dragged Humazi out of the hotel!
Two people walked down the street. Chen Ping spread his divine sense without any concealment, and in an instant, he felt that there were quite a few masters around him!
However, these people didn't harbor any animosity towards Chen Ping. Instead, they gathered in small groups, minding their own business!
Chen Ping's brow furrowed slightly as he slowly walked down the street!
And at this moment, in the main hall of the Zheng family, Zheng Anguo sat grimly at the head of the table. Beneath him were several high-ranking members of the Zheng family!
"Master, many strangers arrived in Nanhu City today. They are all experts, with the lowest being Martial Marquis level, and there are quite a few Great Martial Marquis among them."
A high-ranking official told Zheng Anguo.
"Do you know who these people are?" Zheng Anguo asked.
"I don't know, some of them come from the major sects and clans around here, and the rest... their identities are unclear."
The higher-ups responded! <<<
"Oh well, a perennial herb. This top-tier resource seems like it's impossible to keep hidden..."
Zheng Anguo sighed, his expression becoming much older.
“Dad, Nanh Lake is our Zheng family’s territory. With seven Great Martial Lords from our Zheng family and over a dozen Martial Lords, we don’t need to be afraid of them!”
"Even if those big families from Kyoto came, they wouldn't amount to anything here. Here, strength is what matters."
Zheng Kai said confidently.
"Head of the family, you don't have to be too anxious. With the strength of our Zheng family, those families who came from afar are not necessarily our opponents."
A high-ranking official advised Zheng Anguo.
"If it were just the Southwest Zhu family, I wouldn't be afraid. But now the entire Nanhu City is filled with countless sects and aristocratic families, along with numerous powerful martial artists. Who can say for sure how many there are?"

"If these people unite against our Zheng family, do we still have a chance of winning?"
"Even if we win in the end and get that 10,000-year herb, we'll be severely drained. What will we use to protect it then?"
"Back then, those thousand-year herbs weren't a resource, they were just a ticking time bomb for our Zheng family. Everyone would be eyeing us, and plotting against the Zheng family..."
Zheng Anguo knew that once the news of this ten-thousand-year herb spread, even if their Zheng family got it, they wouldn't have a good life afterwards.
"What are we going to do then? Are we just going to sit here and watch other sects take it all?"
Zheng Kai asked puzzledly.
"Of course not, since our Zheng family can't get it, it's better to do a favor..."
Zhengangu's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said to Zhengkai: "Go find a way to invite Chen Ping here. Remember to be nice to him. If you irritate Chen Ping, I will break your leg..."
"Dad, what are you doing? Are you going to give that thousand-year herb to Chen Ping?"
Zheng Kai's face was full of shock.
"We can't get it anyway, so what difference does it make if we give it to him? Besides, we haven't even managed to obtain this ten thousand year herb. What's there to give? As long as Chen Ping is capable of getting it, then us giving it would be a simple favor, and we could also use this opportunity to get closer to Chen Ping. Why not?"
Zheng Anguo explained.
"Dad, but…"
Zheng Kai wanted to say something more, but Zheng Anguo glared at him: "Shut up! When will you grow some brains, short-sighted guy..."
Zheng Kai was reprimanded and didn't dare to speak. He could only turn around and look for Chen Ping!
And Zheng Anguo looked at the high-level officials and said, "You send everyone down there, be sure to check the information of all strangers who enter Nanhu City, and see how many people come to seize this ten thousand-year herb!"
"Yes, sir."
The high-ranking officials received their orders and left.
