Chapter 72: Everyone Has Different Ideals

Near Kaiyang City

Su Yang and his companions were now on foot.

To solve a problem, one must first understand the problem.

He could go and listen to the report from the Martial Suppression Division’s leader, Luo Hongsheng, but can he trust everything he hears?

So whether it was in Linjiang City or here in Kaiyang City, Su Yang’s first choice was to inquire with the local residents.

Their accounts of life were the most authentic.

In the dry land, wherever there was a slightly moist spot, there were people digging trenches in the earth.

Riverbeds, mountainsides…nTheir figures could be seen everywhere.

They were searching for water sources.

From the condition of these people, who still had food to eat and occasional access to water, it seemed that the drought hadn’t lasted long in this area.

A young man was leaning against a tree that had not yet withered, taking a rest.

Suddenly, he saw three people approaching him, dressed in magnificent attire. Upon closer inspection, the one in the middle was wearing the official attire of

Daxia.

Instantly, his mind became clearer.

No matter how great Daxia was, no matter how influential the officials were, as an ordinary person, he didn’t dare to act recklessly. That would cost him his life.

Good officials deserved respect, and wicked officials dared not be disrespectful.

“I am Luo Hu, greetings, sir,” said Luo Hu as he spoke up. The surrounding residents who were previously digging trenches in the earth all stopped and turned their attention towards them.

Upon seeing Su Yang, they followed suit.

“You don’t have to be so formal. I am a member of the Patrol Department in the prefecture. I am aware that Kaoyang City is facing a drought, so I have come to handle the situation,” Su Yang stated, revealing his identity and purpose. Luo Hu and the other five people showed signs of joy upon hearing this.

Someone from the prefecture had come?

That was definitely good news!

“Sir, please go ahead and ask us.”

“How long has it been since it last rained here?”

“Seven days ago.”

Su Yang was taken aback. Only seven days?

Before Su Yang could continue his questioning, Luo Hu explained with bitterness, “Sir, the situation is indeed strange. It rains, yet the land continues to dry up.’

“We, the common people, have no problem getting water to drink temporarily, but if the land remains dry, we won’t be able to cultivate our fields. When it comes time for taxes, what will happen then?”

“According to the leader of the Martial Suppression Division, it’s caused by demonic influences.’

Su Yang said in a deep voice, “This situation is definitely caused by demonic influences, but have any of you noticed anything unusual?”

Luo Hu shook his head, “We don’t have the power, nor do we dare to investigate such matters. However, there are some people who are looking into it.”

“The leader of the Martial Suppression Division, the people from the Luo family in the city, and the Green Willow Villa are all investigating this issue.

You can go and ask them.”

After some casual conversation, Su Yang gained a basic understanding of the situation in the area.

After bidding farewell to the residents, Su Yang headed toward the city.

After Su Yang left, several young people gathered together.

“Brother Hu, do you think the official from the prefecture can solve this peculiar problem?”

“Who knows? We can only pray for a solution.”

“Alright, enough of these thoughts. Since we can’t afford to practice martial arts and become warriors, let’s just do what we can honestly.”

“The matter of demonic influences will be handled by the officials, but we can’t rely solely on them.”

“Brother Hu is right. We can’t place all our hopes on others.”

After their discussion, everyone’s morale rose once again, and they began working vigorously on the ground.

After a few steps, the group entered Kaoyang City.

“Brother Yang, what are they doing?” Jiang Xiaoyu immediately noticed that the city residents were gathered in one place.

Upon closer observation, it appeared that water was being distributed to the residents, who were lining up to receive it.

“Interesting,” Su Yang noticed and understood, “The Luo family is providing water to the residents.”

“It seems like the Luo family is quite good,” Jiang Xiaoyu’s eyes brightened, instantly favoring the Luo family.

“Well, at least they are doing a good deed,” Su Yang nodded in affirmation.

Heroes existed in the world; it was just that one hadn’t seen them yet.

Just like the Luo family, if Su Yang had flown directly to the Martial

Suppression Division, he would not have witnessed their good deeds.

In the past, he had always focused on completing tasks, so naturally, he only saw the evil side of things.

The saying goes, “Good deeds do not go beyond the doorstep, while bad deeds spread far and wide.” It was difficult for good deeds to become known and widely recognized.

After taking a glance, they intended to leave.

At that moment, an argument broke out at the corner of the street.

“Sir, please, return my water jug. You can also go and get yours. I have been waiting for a long time, and I have two children at home waiting…” A commoner in coarse clothes was struggling with a young man.

They were fighting over a water jug.

The young man was clearly trained, as he easily kicked the other person away.

“Get lost! Why don’t you go back in line?” sneered Yu Jie, displeased with the person lying on the ground. How could he compete with him?

“Sir… As a warrior, do you really need to argue over a sip of water with someone like me…” the weakened Chang Fei weakly spoke up.

Why… did he have to fight him for a sip of water?

“There’s no why. I’m thirsty. Alright, alright, I didn’t do anything to you. Just go back in line,” Yu Jie said dismissively, no longer wanting to deal with the person.

Indeed, he was thirsty.

Currently, there was no water source in Kaiyang City, and they could only rely on the relief efforts of the Luo family. But should he, a warrior, go and get relief?

That would be undignified.

Why did he cultivate his skills?

Wasn’t it to be superior to ordinary people and stand above them?

“Brother Yang, I want to punch him, ” Jiang Xiaoyu felt increasingly displeased and wanted to ask Su Yang’s opinion.

“No need,” Su Yang shook his head.

Jiang Xiaoyu was puzzled and was about to ask, but then he saw a figure leaping into the air and kicking the person who had snatched the water jug.

“Stealing from ordinary people, do you even deserve to cultivate?” a young man in a green robe swiftly intervened, kicking the person away. Contempt filled his eyes.

He then stepped on the person’s shoulder, forcing Chang Fei to look up at him.

“You can only bully ordinary people. My Luo family has plenty of water. Why don’t you come and take it?” Luo Tian snoke with scorn.

Chang Fei endured his embarrassment and clenched his teeth, “Young Master Luo, there’s no need to humiliate me over a commoner’s belongings.”

“Hahaha…” Luo Tian laughed, “Weren’t you just doing the same thing earlier?

What’s wrong? Can’t take it when it happens to you?”

“We, as warriors, are supposed to be superior to ordinary people,” Chang Fei persisted, gritting his teeth.

“By your logic, I am stronger and superior to you. So is it a problem if I humiliate you?” Luo Tian countered.

“Who is your master? I’d like to see who taught you such behavior.”

Luo Tian’s words made Chang Fei flush with embarrassment, but he still managed to take the water jug back from the other person’s hand.

“Get lost! Don’t let me see you again.”

Luo Tian turned around and returned the water jug to Chang Fei before leaving.

“Here you go.”

“Thank you so much, Young Master Luo!”

Chang Fei tightly held the water jug and deeply bowed to Luo Tian’s departing figure. Then he hurriedly left.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would burst into tears.

This jug of water was too important to him.

Indeed, it had rained seven days ago, but in the entire land, even during rain, there were people who couldn’t store enough water.

They could also go to other cities around Kaiyang City to fetch water.

However, they were located in the heart of Kaiyang City. If they walked to another city and back, it would take two days!

And they could only bring back enough water for a few days.

With the promise from the Luo family that water would be distributed daily, they naturally wouldn’t venture out on their own.

The water provided by the Luo family was brought by Luo Tian’s own merchant group from other cities.

Observing this scene, Jiang Xiaoyu understood Su Yang’s meaning when he said there was no need to interfere.

At the same time, he excitedly clenched his fist.

“This person speaks the truth!”

“Practicing martial arts is indeed for the sake of righteousness. Don’t you agree, Brother Yang?”

Su Yang smiled and said, “Yes and no.”

“Practicing martial arts can be for the sake of righteousness, but you can’t expect everyone to be obligated to righteousness.”

“Everyone has different ideals.”

“As long as they don’t do evil, that’s enough..”
