Chapter 468: Chapter 464: Stubborn

Sun Jinfang was taken aback and cried out in despair, “The heroic Sect Head of the Cao Family has unexpectedly become the messenger for the Mi Clan today Is it worth it?”

Cao Xiong’s face was numb, and he made a bow of the hands: “Master Sun, you overpraise, I’m just trying to carve out a survival path for my clan. Wouldn’t you do the same?”

Sweet talk of friendship and enmity was easy, but what about the elderly and the weak of their clans, left behind? The casual demeanor of warriors was likely just a story from a picture book. The greater the power in this world, the greater the responsibility. That’s why sometimes they could only bow.

“I cannot leave Red Cloud Mountain.” Sun Jinfang said with a dry voice, “Please thank Mr. Mi for his kindness on my behalf.”

Under normal circumstances, he would just wave his sleeve and leave What did he have to do with the mighty Mi Family? But right now, countless refugees are languishing on top of Red Cloud Mountain, waiting for the life-saving spiritual grass. Even though he knows the supplies from the Mi Clan will not come easily, he can only humbly accept.

“Alas!” sighed Cao Xiong, “Why must Master Sun be so obstinate…” Without finishing his sentence, he shook his head helplessly. Having known Sun Jinfang for over twenty years, Cao Xiong naturally knew how high-minded this doctor was. Nevertheless, given the current situation, even if Sun Jinfang didn’t surrender to the Mi Clan now, he would have to eventually.

“Please do me the favor of transporting the supplies to the Du Clan on Red Cloud Mountain.” Although Sun Jinfang hadn’t obtained a full quota of spiritual grass from the Cao Family, hundreds of grass portions, along with a hundred thousand rations, could alleviate the immediate crisis on Red Cloud Mountain. If all the influential families could contribute an equal share like this, that plague would be eased. Sun Jinfang, who had put personal honor and disgrace aside, was already acting like a merchant, planning to go to each family and beg for spiritual medicine.

Seeing Sun Jinfang’s hurried departure, Cao Xiong knew the intention of this noble doctor, and advised, “Master Sun, don’t go looking anymore. Mi Shen has already dictated that, from today onward, all clans within the South Ridge are closed to visitors. The esteemed scholars of Xiling are expected by him at the Cloud House on South Ridge. By meeting you today, I am already breaking the order of the Mi Family. Please think twice.”

Sun Jinfang was indebted to the Cao Family, and even if the Cao Family were under the Mi Family’s command, they wouldn’t refuse to see him. However other powerful families wouldn’t afford a scholar without any power or family heritage any face.
