Chapter 125 Persuasion
Ye Feiyang did not approach to talk to them. After walking around the village, he came to a remote and deserted stream, took out his mobile phone to send a location, and then threw the phone back into the space ring.
His mobile phone is produced by the military and will not malfunction due to the magnetic field interference in the demon land. It is a rare item even in the military.
After sending the location, Ye Feiyang walked towards the thatched hut arranged for him by the old man.
Ye Feiyang took out a small bed from the space ring and sat cross-legged on it to meditate.
The night passed quickly and the sky was getting light.
"The village chief wants to see you."
The old man who was on night watch walked into the thatched hut, said something, and turned away.
He didn't ask where Ye Feiyang's crib came from.
Ye Feiyang slowly opened his eyes and followed the old man on night watch to the village hall.
After bringing Ye Feiyang to the village hall, he yawned and turned to leave. It seemed that he was going back to catch up on his sleep.
Ye Feiyang walked into the village hall by himself.
At this moment, there were several old people sitting on the chairs in the village hall, with a leisurely and casual look on their faces. When they saw Ye Feiyang coming in, they raised their eyelids slightly, revealing a slit, and looked at Ye Feiyang.
"My friend, my name is Fang Gu, and I'm the village chief of Yangyang Village. Where are you from?"
The middle-aged man sitting in the main seat looked at Ye Feiyang and asked in confusion.
"Bo City."
Ye Feiyang said lightly.
"Young people like you, why don't you stay in the city and come here?"
An elderly man sitting on a wooden chair said lightly.
"To take you away from here and back to the city."
Ye Feiyang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and chuckled.
"What did you say!"
Hearing Ye Feiyang's words, the old people on the wooden chairs all stood up, opened their eyes completely, and looked at Ye Feiyang in shock. Then they said sternly.
"We have lived here for generations. How can we give up our ancestral land?"
"If that's what you came here for, forget it and return to your city as soon as possible."
Several old men were talking to each other, all of them were words of rejection.
"What do you think, Village Chief Fanggu?"
Ye Feiyang ignored the old men and looked at Fang Gu who was sitting in the chair without saying a word.
"My opinion is naturally the same as that of the village elder."
Fang Gu looked at Ye Feiyang and said calmly.
"Really?"
Ye Feiyang looked at Fang Gu, then his eyes became sharp and he said in a deep voice.
"The ancient capital has undergone major changes recently. If you and the other villagers of Wei'an Village in this area don't leave, you will be swallowed up by the coming undead tide."
"Don't tell me you have any way to avoid the undead. That's all thanks to the water from Kunjing. It has nothing to do with you."
"Have you ever thought about what will happen to you when the water of Kunjing dries up and Wenze is lost?"
Ye Feiyang's words were like pearls, leaving Fang Gu and those stubborn old men speechless.
They did not ask how Ye Feiyang knew the method of avoiding the undead that had been passed down from generation to generation in their village. They just thought that Ye Feiyang's ancestors were from Wei'an Village like them and had a common heritage.
Ye Feiyang's words reminded them of the people in Wei'an Village who had been swallowed by the undead over the years. Furthermore, they had indeed discovered that the water in Kunjing was not as good as before.
"Humph, the water from the Kunjing well in our village can last for at least several decades or even hundreds of years."
An elder in the village did not want to be led by Ye Feiyang, or perhaps he thought Ye Feiyang was a lobbyist sent by the government, and wanted to pull him along so that he could get more during the negotiations. He snorted coldly.
"We old guys are used to living here and don't want to live in your city at all."
"Really? Now the secret of the Kunjing water has been discovered by outsiders. So you won't even be able to wait for the day when the Kunjing water dries up naturally. Someone will soon come and steal the Kunjing water from your village!"
Seeing that the village elder was still so stubborn, Ye Feiyang restrained the smile on his face and said coldly.
"How is that possible?"
When Ye Feiyang said this, not only the village elders but even the calm Fang Gu were shocked and stood up from their seats.
"Why not? There are young people from your villages who go out to study every year. Not all of them follow the right path. There are always one or two who go astray, like those who join the black pepper pot.
"this"
Fang Gu and the village elders fell silent. They believed their fellow tribesmen wouldn't do such a treacherous act, but they were wary of the possibility of a catastrophe. If such a scoundrel were to appear, the entire Wei'an Village would be at risk of destruction.
"Village Chief Fanggu, you are also a mage, so you should be well aware of the city's power. Also, are the undead more violent lately than before?"
Ye Feiyang looked at Fang Gu and said in a gentler tone.
Fang Gu nodded.
He was a necromancer, so he naturally knew that when night fell, the aura of death from the undead was much stronger than before.
Seeing Fang Gu wavering a little, Ye Feiyang immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"Village Chief Fanggu, I've already notified someone to come over. Now please go and notify the villagers and ask them to pack their luggage and so on."
"But, even if we leave here, where can we go?"
Fang Gu showed a hint of hesitation on his face and asked.
"If you trust me, go to Asuka City. Once there, the city will arrange housing for you. Children of appropriate age can undergo magic awakening together with the students at the school."
Ye Feiyang said in a deep voice.
"Asuka City"
Fang Gu muttered, then looked at the village elders. After a brief exchange of glances, Fang Gu said kindly, "Young friend, this is a serious matter. Please give us a little time to discuss it."
"Um."
Ye Feiyang nodded, turned around and left without saying anything more.
Even if they disagree, it doesn't matter. When the time comes, he will directly take the water from the Kunjing, and they will have to obey even if they don't agree.
The reason why Ye Feiyang asked Fang Gu and others to go to Feiniao City was, firstly, because Feiniao City had not yet developed and there were not many people there, so there was enough room to accommodate the people from Yangyang Village and even the entire Wei'an Village; secondly, he had started planning long after he had completed his poison transformation training, and then spent a few days on the operation and finally bought Feiniao City.
Of course, he didn't have the financial resources to buy Feiniao City on his own. He, Zhao Manyan, and Jiang Shaojun jointly took out a loan to purchase the city. Zhao Manyan was responsible for bridging the gap and helping Ye Feiyang contact the person who truly had the power and influence within the Zhao family, namely his father.
Ye Feiyang promised in his own name to pay off the debt within ten years and to do something for him unconditionally in the future. With the guarantee of Jiang Shaojun, a direct descendant of the Jiang family in the imperial capital, he was able to borrow enough funds from Zhao Manyan's father to buy Feiniao City.
With a huge sum of money in hand, Ye Feiyang went straight to the Lin family, which had bought Feiniao City. In addition, the Lin family also wanted to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible, so Ye Feiyang took over Feiniao City without much ado.
