"You old fool, eat slowly, there are so many guests here, how could you not know to share." Mrs. Bai scolded.

Cheng Dagang instantly put down his chopsticks, looking pitifully at Mrs. Bai.

"Old woman, this girl’s cooking is delicious, don’t restrain me!"

"Hmph, can’t shut your mouth even while eating, someday, I’ll get a knife and cut off your pig mouth, make it into a side dish!" Mrs. Bai said fiercely.

However, she relented and no longer said anything about not letting Cheng Dagang eat.

After a hearty meal, before they could drink some tea, Cheng Family’s yard started filling with people.

Everyone was tall and burly, someone shouted a few times, Mrs. Bai went to open the door.

They smiled and went straight to the main room to find Cheng Dagang.

In no time, the main room was surrounded and packed tight.

"Village Head, what did you call us here for?" someone asked.

"Not much, just to introduce you. This here is Xing Ningtian’s son!" As he spoke, Cheng Dagang pointed to Xing Beichen.

Then he pointed to Lu Yuanfeng, "This young man, whom I highly regard, is named Lu Yuanfeng!"

Cheng Dagang, in a way, showed a certain favoritism towards Lu Yuanfeng.

While introducing, he mentioned Lu Yuanfeng’s name, but he seemed to forget about Xing Beichen’s.

But no one cared about these details; when they heard the name Xing Ningtian, their emotions changed.

They kept staring at Xing Beichen, observing him closely.

Those outside the yard, who couldn’t see, started climbing on the backs of those in front.

"Village Head, why are you telling us this?"

"Indeed, General Xing is gone, and we’ve returned to farming, what’s he here for?"

Someone finally asked about Xing Beichen’s purpose.

Xing Beichen was too busy watching these people, forgetting to respond.

Mu Shuangshuang said, "This time, we came with supplies, to do what little we can for the people of Yulin County.

Moreover, Yulin County is the hometown of General Xing’s former troops, we came to check..."

Before she finished, Xing Beichen spoke up, "I want to go to the camp and revive my father’s legend, I want to be the War God!"

Xing Beichen’s words were forceful, but as soon as he finished, those who voiced their opinions went silent.

Xing Beichen continued, "Seniors, I know all of you are the fiercest in the Xing Family Army, you’ve braved countless dangers.

This time, I need your help! You’ve been to battle, have experience, and know how to deal with the enemy of Wei Kingdom, this time, I’m going to the Northwest!"

"Hmph, such big words, the name War God isn’t something you can claim!" Someone stepped up, unreserved with Xing Beichen.

"Exactly, even if you’re the Great General’s son, we won’t give you face!"

The situation seemed somewhat out of control, initially many hadn’t expressed their stance, but once Xing Beichen mentioned wanting to be the War God, emotions started to stir wildly.

Some even started attacking Xing Beichen!

Even though he’s a man and easy-going, Mu Shuangshuang still felt some words were too much!

"No one is asking you to give face, no one’s asking you to go to battle! True, Beichen is somewhat young, not as capable as Great General Xing Ningtian!

But don’t forget, Xing Ningtian himself rose from a commoner to become the Great General!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Where did this girl come from, daring to libel the Great General’s title?" a burly man asked.

As soon as he finished, Lu Yuanfeng stood in front of Mu Shuangshuang.

Using his body to shield Mu Shuangshuang.

"Shuangshuang didn’t libel anyone’s title, she’s correct, we’re all not strong now, but we can fight, we can strive!

Beichen came here not expecting much at first, he told me, no matter if you want to follow him, he wants to come see you!"

Lu Yuanfeng protected Mu Shuangshuang well, his actions clearly declaring to everyone that Shuangshuang was under his protection!

Among them, some who had fought with Lu Yuanfeng were wary of his formidable strength.

"Hmph, anyone can talk big, I can also say I can lead an army, I too can be a court minister!"

"How do you know Beichen is talking big?" Mu Shuangshuang peeked out from behind Lu Yuanfeng, questioning again!

"You..."

The person seemed angered by Mu Shuangshuang’s words.

Everyone stood in stalemate for a long time, with no resolution.

At this moment, Cheng Dagang stood up.

"Everyone stop arguing, I know the situation! The Xing Family lad is the son of the old boy, naturally he has ambitions!

But he is young after all, just wants to see if anyone is willing to come out and help him! Of course, the Xing Family lad will respect everyone’s wishes!

I’m going to explain to the Xing Family lad, although they’re from the army camp, they’re Xing Family Army, but they’ve not fought in ten years, perhaps not as good as the new recruits.

Moreover, many here are already grandfathers, leaving for separation isn’t suitable!"

After Cheng Dagang spoke, the few that had been objecting immediately quieted down.

Even when Cheng Dagang referred to Xing Ningtian as the old boy, no one spoke up to refute.

"Seniors are right, I’m not forcing anyone!"

At this point, Xing Beichen had already understood.

However, he was not regretful!

He came to see, knowing what his father’s former troops look like was enough!

"Have you made up your minds?" Cheng Dagang looked at the village men.

"We’ll stay here, we’re old now, no more adventures!"

"Indeed, my grandson just learned to walk, as a grandfather, I should take care of him!"

"Me too, I’ve grown accustomed to Blacksmith Village, I don’t want to leave!"

"..."

Most responded, their words sounding alike.

In conclusion, Xing Beichen could give up.

"Alright, I understand everyone’s decision! But... could you tell me about how my father led troops into battle?"

Xing Beichen raised his eyelids, looking around at everyone.

All of a sudden, the rowdy crowd quieted down.

The people here held great respect for Xing Ningtian, when it came to telling about Xing Ningtian’s story, they knew not how to start.

After a long time, someone said, "Let me start..."

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng exchanged glances, the two of them left the house.

Outside the yard, the moon hung high in the sky, Mu Shuangshuang looked at the moon, then at Lu Yuanfeng.

"Why aren’t you listening to the story?" she asked.

"That’s what Beichen wanted to know, not me!"

He’d already heard about Xing Ningtian’s life from stories, didn’t need to hear again.

"Fengzi, has anyone told you that you talk with style?" Mu Shuangshuang blinked asking.

"Stylish? What does that mean?"

"It means you’re awesome, impressive!" Mu Shuangshuang smiled.

"No!" Lu Yuanfeng answered seriously, then added, "Tomorrow morning, we’ll get the horses and go home!"
