Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: A Request

Therefore, this matter is not easy to handle; it’s not simply a case of Han Jing and others taking a stand against injustice that can be resolved so straightforwardly.

As Yunzhu Island is a marketplace island that produces Treasure Beads like the Cloud Spirit Pearl, these pearl farmers are entangled with various forces and relationships. Whether it’s the factions directly on Yunzhu Island or other backers elsewhere, in short, the people behind them are not easily provoked.

That’s why no one dared to intervene earlier, because it’s not just a matter of rescuing someone and being done with it.

Even if Han Jing and the others saved Grandpa Zhu and his granddaughter, the master behind them might not trouble Han Jing. Still, as soon as Han Jing and the others leave, this grandfather and granddaughter would definitely continue facing misfortune, and it would only get worse.

This problem is something not only Han Jing and the others have thought about, but Grandpa Zhu and his granddaughter certainly understand it as well.

Suddenly, Grandpa Zhu knelt down, startling Han Jing, who quickly rushed to support him, but Grandpa Zhu insisted on kneeling: "Young lady, you are all kind-hearted people. You saved us today, and we are already endlessly grateful. I shouldn’t ask for anything more, but the truth is, there’s no way for my granddaughter and me to survive on Yunzhu Island anymore. I’m all alone, not afraid of trouble, but my A zhu, she shouldn’t be treated like this!"

It was as if Grandpa Zhu made a decision, and he pleaded with Han Jing: "The power I belong to is much weaker than the one causing trouble. They reportedly have connections above, and on Yunzhu Island, almost no one dares to provoke them. Initially, if my master spoke up, I would even sacrifice my old dignity, as long as they don’t trouble my A zhu. But A zhu has been clever since she was a child; she learns everything in one go. I’m afraid they’ve set their sights on her from early on. I have no abilities to protect her. If she stays here, it would be like a lamb being thrown into a tiger’s den, and she’d never have peace again."

"Young lady, I’ve been a pearl farmer all my life and have some private savings. I’m willing to give it all to you, as long as you can save my granddaughter A zhu and take her away from Yunzhu Island, whether it’s to serve you as a servant or to settle elsewhere. All that matters is she leaves here. Young lady, I’m begging you to fulfill this helpless plea. If it weren’t absolutely necessary... I wouldn’t dare to make this request of you."

Grandpa Zhu is old and has no cultivation. In this Spirit Cultivator-filled Futu Realm, ordinary people like them are at the very bottom, the most powerless and humble. He can’t protect A zhu’s safety. Furthermore, he has no way to send her off Yunzhu Island, much less entrust A zhu to anyone easily.

If A zhu is not sent away, then from now on, his once pure and kind granddaughter will be dragged into these complex forces and reduced to a plaything, completely ruined. As family, this is an outcome he would sacrifice everything to prevent.

He doesn’t even have much time to think or plan, and can only gamble his old dignity and all he possesses, hoping Han Jing and the others can lend a helping hand. Because those who can extend aid under such circumstances must surely have good intentions.

He is helpless and can only rely on this rare goodwill.
