When the common people realized that this young man before them was indeed their "Benefactor Ling Feng," they thanked him profusely, with some even clamoring to build a temple at the Wei Yuan General Temple to pay him tribute and worship, treating Ling Feng like their Guardian God.
Ling Feng chuckled wryly, and after a round of greetings with these overly enthusiastic villagers, he then accompanied General Sun Gongming's army to Xiling City.
Years later, if Ling Feng were to return to the Western Wasteland, he would find out that the locals hadn't just made empty promises. The Wei Yuan General Temple nearly saturated every city in the vicinity, with incense flourishing as if deifying him.
Perhaps this was because when the common people awoke, they saw a cloud-shrouded figure in the sky "performing magic" to heal them. To them, such a personage, who could soar through the clouds, was surely a God.
