Douluo Continent: I Have a Nameless Law

You should know that this is the most recognized healer on the mainland. As a Soul Master, who hasn't been injured before? Even if you're not injured, you'll still get sick sometimes. If you can befriend this person, you might be able to ask for their help in the future.

"Haha, I hope you will not be offended by my sudden visit."

Ye Renxin returned the greetings with clasped hands, then looked at the leader, Fatty Wang, and said with a smile, "You must be Lord Wang, the city lord of Xingluo City."

"Haha, it is indeed me. Doctor Ye, please don't stand there, please come inside."

Lord Wang laughed heartily and led everyone into the hall.

"Please take a seat, Dr. Ye."

"Lord Wang, please go first."

"Haha, Dr. Ye, there's no need to be so polite."

After exchanging a few words of polite refusal, Ye Renxin took the seat of honor among the guests, while Lord Wang sat in the main seat and waved his hand.

Several maids served some tea and snacks. The pastries were exquisitely made and the tea in the cups was of the highest quality, with a rich aroma.

Ye Renxin took a sip of tea, looked at the city lord at the head of the table, and said, "City lord, I have come here to ask for a favor."

"Oh?"

Lord Wang raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled, "It is my honor to be able to help Doctor Ye. As long as it is within my power, please feel free to ask."

Upon hearing this, Ye Renxin stood up, cupped his hands slightly, and said, "I would like to ask Lord Wang and everyone else to open the granaries and distribute grain to save the lives of the people outside the city!"

After Ye Renxin finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

The group looked at each other, none of them willing to speak first.

After a long while, Lord Wang sighed and said, "Alas, Doctor Ye, you are unaware of this."

"After the earthquake, we didn't have much food left. Apart from the food we needed to give to the soldiers and their families, and the food we needed to eat ourselves, we took out almost all the food we could eat."

"But as Dr. Ye has probably seen, it's still a drop in the ocean, not nearly enough."

One of the nobles, who possessed the cultivation of a Soul King, shook his head with a compassionate expression and sighed, "Yes, Doctor Ye, it's not that we are unwilling to save him, but we have already done our best."

Ye Renxin frowned slightly and continued to persuade, "Everyone, I know your difficulties, but the aid from the Star Luo Empire and other major forces will arrive soon. As long as everyone contributes food, most of the people outside the city will be able to survive. At that time, you will all have done a great service and will surely be rewarded by the empire."

"Hmph, Doctor Ye, there's no need to beg anymore. We have no food."

Upon hearing this, Lord Wang snorted coldly, turned his head away, and closed his eyes slightly.

Another Soul King cupped his hands to Ye Renxin and said, "If the divine doctor has the ability to save people, we will naturally not stop him. However, we are afraid that we are unable to help with the matter of food supplies."

"You, you all..."

Ye Renxin pointed at these people, then at Lord Wang, and asked in a low voice, "Do you really intend to be so heartless?"

The city lord and the other family heads remained silent.

Although they really wanted to befriend the miracle doctor, it was impossible for them to bleed so much money just for a favor.

"Alright, in that case, farewell!"

Ye Renxin trembled with anger, but he knew that he and his men were no match for these people. He could only swallow his anger and leave the city lord's mansion with his guards.

"Dr. Ye, these guys are bastards! What do we do?"

After leaving the city lord's mansion, the Soul Emperor, filled with righteous indignation, clenched his fist.

"Sigh... For now, we can only rely on ourselves."

Ye Renxin sighed, his eyes filled with sorrow and melancholy.

On the official road outside Xingluo City, a large group of people were marching in a long line.

Bags of grain and fodder were placed on the carriage.

Gu Han took out the map and glanced at it.

"It will take about half a day to reach the rural area on the outskirts of Starfall City."

He put away the map and looked at the golden-armored guard beside him, saying, "Notify the rear to quicken their pace."

"understand!"

After the golden-armored guards stood at attention, they turned and ran to the back of the column, urging the group to quicken their pace.

After walking for about an hour, Gu Han and the others saw a group of disheveled refugees walking in scattered groups from the opposite direction.

These people were like walking corpses, their eyes were numb, their lips were cracked, and they were so hungry that they didn't want to say a word.

A woman suddenly collapsed to the ground. The little girl next to her squatted in front of her, shaking her mother helplessly, her chapped lips uttering hoarse, low sounds.

"Mommy...Mommy...don't sleep on the floor, you'll catch a cold..."

Seeing this, everyone stopped in their tracks. Gu Han and Bibi Dong exchanged a glance and waved to the guards behind them.

"Send a healing soul master to save people first, and while we're at it, gather these refugees together and give them some food."

"Understood, follow me."

As soon as Gu Han gave the order, the accompanying soldiers stepped forward, stopped the refugees, and gave them food.

Gu Han and Bibi Dong, accompanied by a healing-type Soul Master, arrived at the side of the woman and little girl who had collapsed.

Bibi Dong handed the little girl a large pancake. Looking at the pancake in front of her, the little girl swallowed hard, raised her head, and looked at Bibi Dong hesitantly.

Bibi Dong smiled kindly and placed the cake in the other person's hand.

"Eat quickly, we are from the Spirit Hall, we are here to help you."

Upon hearing this, the little girl grabbed the pancake and began to wolf it down.

The woman also woke up under the healing power of the healing-type Soul Master.

She looked at the group with a puzzled expression, and seeing their elegant attire, she quickly pulled her daughter to thank them.

"Thank you so much, sir, for saving my life! Thank you so much, sir, for saving my life..."

“Sister, there’s no need for that.” Bibi Dong quickly reached out to help the woman up and comforted her before asking at Gu Han’s prompting, “Sister, you’re from Xingluo City, right? Have they not distributed food or opened up disaster areas there?”

Upon hearing this, the woman lowered her head slightly and began to sob softly.

"Sir, if they had distributed food, we wouldn't have fled here."

Chapter 156 Arrival in Starfall City

"Mom, there are soup kitchens, but the soup looks like the plain water we usually drink..."

The little girl put the half-eaten pancake into her arms. Her mother said, "If you finish eating, you'll have to go hungry again for the next meal."

"Little girl, don't be afraid. Eat when you're hungry. I have plenty of food here."

Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with pity and sympathy. As she spoke, she took out a pancake from her soul tool: "See, your sister didn't lie to you, did she?"

"Here, take it."

"Yes, thank you, sister."

The little girl nodded emphatically, took out the half-eaten pancake she had been hiding in her bosom, and ate it in big bites.

Bibi Dong poured a glass of water for the other person.

Compared to the little girl's naivety, the woman was different. She first took a few sips of water, and after feeling better, she began to tell the story of what had happened in the city in the past few days.

"At first, the city lord and the others distributed some food, but later they refused, saying that their surplus food was also insufficient, and asked us to be patient and wait for the imperial relief team to arrive."

"During this period, many people froze to death in the night, and those who were half-dead and barely clinging to life were all wrapped in straw mats and burned."

"Then, about a few days ago, about a week ago... a miracle doctor came and has been helping us recover every day."

"But the divine physician's soul power is limited, and he is old, so he can't support the consumption."

“Every day, large numbers of people still die.”

“The reason we left was because of the divine doctor’s guidance. He said that instead of waiting here, we should go somewhere else to ask for some food.”

"He pointed us in the right direction, saying that if we followed this official road, we might encounter the officials who were there to provide disaster relief."

The woman spoke with great logic, as if she had read some books, and she recounted the whole story in a concise and clear manner.

"Hmph, truly despicable!!"

Bibi Dong snorted angrily, her eyes burning with fury.

"How come we didn't realize back then that these guys were such beasts?"

Gu Han remained silent, his gaze deep, as he recalled what Qian Xunji had said before he set off.

Qian Xunji told them to assess the situation and then patted him meaningfully on the shoulder, reminding him that the Spirit Hall was his strongest support.

It seems they had guessed it beforehand, or received some prior information.

"Holy Son, Holy Maiden, the refugees have received their supplies, and their physical condition is recovering under the care of the healing soul masters."

Bishop Salas walked over on the soft lawn.

The members of the Spirit Hall arranged for the refugees to be placed on the open ground on both sides of the official road. After the men regained their strength, they began to set up tents or go to find firewood, while the women were responsible for looking after and taking care of the children.

Everything was arranged very well. With food, clothing, and tents, the refugees' condition quickly improved.

The timely aid made these refugees even more grateful to the Spirit Hall, and they kept thanking the people of the Spirit Hall.

At this moment, Gu Han had no doubt that if he raised his arm and rallied the crowd, these people would instantly become his soldiers and fight with all their might to fight back to Xingluo City.

However, Gu Han did not intend to do so, at least not now, because the time was not right, and his own strength had not yet reached a level that satisfied him, so he could not waste time on this.

But the nobles of Starfall City will be dealt with.

“Bishop Salas, you continue to gather refugees here.”

"Your Highness, rest assured, leave this to me," Salas said respectfully.

"Senior sister, let's take five hundred guards and fifty healing-type soul masters and head to Starfall City as soon as possible."

"Aren't you bringing any supplies?" Bibi Dong stood up in confusion.

Gu Han shook his head slightly and explained, "There must be supplies in the city. We should hurry over there first. Let the refugees along the way come this way. The role of the healing soul master is to help heal the refugees we encounter along the way."

"This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more refugees will die."

"Okay, I understand. Let's go then."
