Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Redemption, part 3

The whole village wanted them together.

 Them, the brave foreigner who eased their suffering, and the noble former magistrate who healed them with magic. Wei Caihong smiled despite the rain and the people crowding him.

When someone tried to replace Grandfather Cao by his side, Wei Caihong stopped it by gripping the old man's arm. That meant that Mister toothless got replaced.

A small child who was eating a steamed bun took his place. The child didn't speak. Wei Caihong decided to do his best to keep the little boy by his side.

The new magistrate was waiting by the house, his servant holding an umbrella over his head. Wei Caihong was in such a good mood from all the talking he had done with Grandfather Cao that he smiled brightly at his replacement, who looked taken aback at that.

"Wei Caihong. I will bless your union today. But you better not spread any more lies about magic ever again! Think of your own good health, man."
