Chapter 130: Chapter 124 Young Hero, Hurry and Withdraw Your Divine Skills! (Subscribe!)_3

"Hero Wu, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Disaster relief has always been like this since ancient times. No, in the past, we could always get all our silver back."

"Exactly."

"Exactly."

At this moment, Wu Shan sighed and said, "Actually, this time, someone has already donated three thousand taels."

"That’s great news. Someone in our Yu State is so generous and righteous, what a great start!" Master Huang exclaimed in astonishment.

"It’s gold." Wu Shan said.

"Gold?"

Hearing this, Master Huang and the others’ eyes began to slightly heat up.

"Whose money is this?" someone asked.

"A passing young hero." Wu Shan replied.

"A young hero donated so much? How much will he get back later?"

"He doesn’t want it back." Wu Shan said.

"How is that possible! Three thousand taels of gold, who has so much to give away!" the old steward of Yunshan Palace exclaimed in shock.

"He said his surname is Duan, name Lang, just call him Duan Lang." Wu Shan said earnestly.

"Duan Lang? Someone from Yunduan Manor? That’s so far away..."

"Wait!"

"Old Demon Duan!"

"Old Demon Duan!"

Two people cried out in unison.

The words "Old Demon Duan" seemed to have a magical power, as several of the carefree nobles suddenly stood up.

Wu Shan shook his head and said, "I don’t know any Old Demon Duan; I only know about Duan Lang, the charitable young hero who helped break the river dam."

At that moment, the old steward of Yunshan Palace was muttering to himself: "Old Demon Duan, whose real name is Duan Yun, loves to play the hero, once used the name ’Murong Fu’, and later changed his name to ’Duan Lang’."

Master Huang also became nervous and said, "It can’t be Old Demon Duan, it can’t be Old Demon Duan, it must be a coincidence."

Indeed, asking him to donate money was even more painful than killing him.

The five hundred taels of silver he donated without expectation of repayment was the result of a long internal struggle, hoping to establish a good karma with the Bodhi Temple.

After all, if he encountered any issues in the future, the Bodhi Temple’s charms could save his life.

Disaster relief, delivering food and drinks to those obstinate commoners?

Just thinking about it made him angry, okay?

At this moment, Wu Shan said, "The silver taels for the disaster relief donated by Young Hero Duan were converted from treasures, the most valuable of which should be this item."

Saying so, he went outside and brought in a twisted and deformed iron rake.

With a thud, Master Huang and the others sat down on their chairs, foreheads breaking out in cold sweat.

It really is Old Demon Duan!

The news of the annihilation of Zhu Yan Manor by Old Demon Duan had long spread here, causing the sects and noble families of Yu State to tremble in fear.

Now that Zhu Heimian’s iron rake was right here, who else could it be if not him!

Old Demon Duan had gone mad, really donating three thousand taels of gold!

Everyone present was a prominent figure in the area. Initially composed, they were now sitting on pins and needles.

Old Demon Duan had donated; would you dare to not donate?

He alone donated three thousand taels of gold; how much will you donate?

If you donate too little, would it be seen as disrespect to him, risking him coming to slaughter your entire family!

No, it’s not just killing your entire family, but to dishonor, humiliate, assault, and then massacre your family.

This is coercion to donate!

The nobles’ faces changed unpredictably; some were gritting their teeth, some were in pain as if being flayed, but most were in fear.

At this moment, Master Huang’s face turned red and then pale as he spoke again, "I, I will donate three thousand taels of gold!"

When he mentioned the word "gold," it was as if he was about to cry.

"No, not three thousand taels, but three thousand five hundred taels of gold! All of it donated to the disaster relief, no need to be repaid." Master Huang seemed to make a firm decision, grinding his teeth and speaking with a look of strength.

"I, I will also contribute three thousand five hundred taels!"

"I, I have to ask our Palace Master, but it will certainly be more than three thousand taels!"

"My Jufeng Hall as well!"

At this point, Master Huang took hold of Wu Shan’s hand and said earnestly, "If possible, please tell Young Hero Duan that we too are men of honor, and it is our duty to donate generously."

Wu Shan clasped his hands in respect and said, "The noble acts of all the elders here will definitely be relayed to Young Hero Duan Lang when I have time."

After that, he left with his rake.

For a time, the hall was filled with a mournful atmosphere.

Wu Shan returned to the Charity Hall and told his fellow sect members, "The silver needed for disaster relief has been collected; it’s enough, let everyone exert their full effort to save the victims."

"Understood, Brother Wu!"

"By the way, Little Yun, please prepare the Good Stone; I want to erect a statue for Young Hero Duan Lang!" said Wu Shan.

To encourage more charitable acts, the Bodhi Temple would erect statues for "Great Kind Men."

This was also an honor within the Martial World.

The sister named Little Yun’s face changed at that moment and said, "But, Brother Wu, he is actually Mr. Duan..."

"Our Bodhi Temple judges acts, not intentions. In our view, Young Hero Duan Lang deserves a grand statue!" Wu Shan said with determination in his eyes.

At that time, Young Hero Duan Lang was standing at the edge of the flood, staring blankly and muttering to himself, "I really did donate it all."

Though they say a hero easily parts with wealth, and lost gold can be recovered, this was still his first time, and part of him was reluctant to let it go.

He looked at the Huangshan Golden Sword in his hand and said, "Well, at least I still have you."

Plus a thousand taels of security deposit and a few dozen taels of silver, enough for this Young Hero to live extravagantly.

Little Grey and Panda Dabai sat beside him, puzzled by his sporadic bouts of looking at the sky, then showing off his grandeur, and then showing reluctance, full of myriad emotions.

Little Grey, on the other hand, was quite happy, feeling as though a burden had been lifted from its back.

Suddenly, Duan Yun looked towards a not-so-distant place.

There was a woman in familiar attire.

The Goddess Catcher from Qingqi Bureau?

But this Goddess Catcher wasn’t the pair of sisters from before; her chest size seemed two cups smaller, and she must be from the Yu State region.

At that moment, the Goddess Catcher was analyzing the retrieved corpses with her two subordinates.

"The Divine Catcher, these six bodies mostly show signs of poisoning, and two of them even have marks of strangulation," said a man dressed like a forensic doctor.

"What about the time of death?"

"At least three days ago."

"You mean, they all died before the floods hit?" asked the Goddess Catcher.

"That’s right. According to the description of the villagers, that night when the flood hit, there were many floating corpses. Normally, even in a disaster, there wouldn’t be such a concentrated number of floating bodies," another subordinate said.

The Goddess Catcher’s gaze turned cold as she said, "This natural disaster could be man-made."

"But who could pull off something on such a large scale?"

"Let’s wait. Such a big commotion can’t just be caused by a few individuals. I’ve already sent people upstream to investigate; there should be results soon."

Duan Yun was all ears and his eyes gleamed.

The flood was someone’s doing?

Who the hell did this!

Taking so many innocent lives, leaving people homeless, and causing this Young Hero to lose so much money!

For a moment, the flames of justice in Young Hero Duan’s heart blazed fiercely once again.

If it really was the work of humans, this Young Hero definitely wouldn’t let them get away with it!
