The exotic plant, which greatly increased Xie Yunnan’s strength in his previous life, is very small.
It grows next to the fence of a plantation on the edge of Hongye City, and grows inconspicuously among the weeds.
Back then, Xie Yunnan led a team to kill exotic beasts nearby, just in time to discover the plant maturing, which is why he happened to get it.
After being reborn, Liao Muye was determined to obtain this exotic plant.
But now, the exotic plant is gone, and only a small pit was left at the scene.
An immature exotic plant will not attract attention. The person who dug the plant obviously didn’t care about it and dug it out casually.
So there is a high possibility that the nearby children thought the grass was cute and dug it away.
This is an exotic plant! A exotic plant with a high probability of death after transplantation!
If it is dug away so casually, it will probably wither!
At this moment, Liao Muye just wanted to quickly retrieve the exotic plant from the nearby children.
There is a shack near this plantation.
The shacks built at random have no water and electricity, and as soon as one gets close, they can smell a disgusting scent.
People here usually don’t do much, and many people are addicted to bad things.
Some time ago, there was a shortage of food, and there were a lot of robberies and murders here. It wasn’t until the Ghost King’s people started to distribute food that their lives stabilized.
Today, many people gathered in a shed outside to watch TV.
A generator is connected to several TV sets, all of which are showing the news of Hongye City, which is about the assassination of Xie Yunnan.
People in the fringe area have a natural affection for Xie Yunnan. After all, he was born in the fringe area like them.
The scene of Xie Yunnan being “assassinated” was played, and in it was Yan Yuge looking disdainfully at Xie Yunnan. Although a few people were numb and didn’t think it was a problem at all, there were also many people who were angry.
“That bastard!”
“No one from these big families is good!”
“They lost their conscience, and even maliciously bought food so that we have no food to eat!”
…
It turns out they couldn’t buy food before because those people hoarded it and refused to sell… this is to force them to death and drain the last bit of money from them!
Knowing this, most ordinary people hated the Liao family, whether in the fringe area or the general district!
They also hated Yan Yuge who spoke for Liao Muye.
“Who knows where that Liao Muye is hiding!”
“It would be great if we could catch him. If we catch him, we will get a lot of money!”
“We must keep an eye on strangers nearby in the future.”
“That Yan Yuge is still dead set against Mr. Xie… It’s obviously that Liao Muye was plotting against Mr. Xie!”
…
You say one word, I say one word.1as in everyone chimed in
As an intermediate-level warrior, Liao Muye had excellent ears. When he heard these words from a distance, his face darkened.
These days, Xie Yunnan has been showing his face in public all day and distributing food, so many people naturally regarded him as a savior.
This time Xie Yunnan was almost assassinated. When they explained the cause and effect, Liao Muye became the villain who had bad intentions towards Xie Yunnan even before the rebellion.
No one doubted this. After all, Xie Yunnan is really good-looking. When he and Xie Qing appeared together, his appearance was only highlighted.
What’s more, Xie Yunnan was already married and awakened to become a priest… Liao Muye must have been bullying others before.
At this moment, up and down Hongye City, everyone wanted to catch Liao Muye to get the bounty.
Liao Muye wanted to go to this shack to find his exotic plant, but after seeing a few low-level warriors guarding the TV, he finally gave up.
Even combined, the people here can’t beat him. But if he was exposed, it would take time to kill everyone.
At that time, some other people might have come over to arrest him!
Liao Muye returned to the place where he was hiding in despair. As soon as he entered, he saw a person who looked quite similar to Xie Yunnan greet him. “You’re back!”
This person was someone Liao Muye found and brought back in order to win the favor of the Lu family head. He even changed his name to Zhou Yiqing.
The original husband of the female head of the Lu family had the word “Qing” in his name.
Seeing Zhou Yiqing’s face, Liao Muye was a little angry and wanted to slap him, but thinking that he still needed Zhou Yiqing’s help… In the end, he endured and showed a gentle smile at Zhou Yiqing.
Zhou Yiqing knew exactly what he planned, and he himself wanted to climb the Lu family in the Holy City.
Therefore, when those things appeared in the news recently. Zhou Yiqing didn’t think much about it. He just thought that Xie Yunnan was the person Liao Muye had originally found and wanted to send to the Lu family.
Zhou Yiqing wanted to be rich and prosperous, so he still had some thoughts on him, that is to serve him well.
——–
Xie Yunnan didn’t know anything about Liao Muye’s side.
Yan Yuge’s act wasn’t actually an assassination, but it was treated as an assassination for because were going to attack those big families in Hongye City.
As for how to do it, there was still no decision.
Xie Yunnan came home very late that day. When he got home, he saw Meng Yan and Jiao Qinyun watering some flowers and grasses in flower pots.
They have become prisoners, and he didn’t expect them to have such leisure and elegance.
But Xie Yunnan didn’t bother much, and went straight to Duan Changqing.
Duan Changqing was watching TV in the bedroom, and the grass that was placed in the bathroom yesterday is now placed on the bedside table.
It can be seen that Duan Changqing likes this grass very much.
Xie Yunnan was all smiles, and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a voice on the TV. It was a recording by his master touting him.
If the rebels want to get Hongye City, it is best to make the people rally together, so they simply let him, a native of Hongye City, come forward.
He has to admit, the effect is very good. People in the fringes and general district, which account for 90% of the population of Hongye City, like him very much.
Seeing Duan Changqing watching the host on TV praise him so earnestly… Xie Yunnan blushed.
“Yunnan, you’re back!” Duan Changqing smiled.
Xie Yunnan took a deep breath, tried to ignore the voice on the TV, and turned to chat with Duan Changqing. Of course, he also talked about what happened to him.
“Now the people on our side are divided into two factions. Some people think that we should use the power of those big families to fight against the Holy City, but my master thinks that this is drinking poison to quench thirst, and will work against us in the future…”
They’re divided on how to manage Hongye City.
Some people want equality for everyone, but how can senior warriors and ordinary people be equal? What’s more, the Holy City is their enemy!
The other party felt that they should unite with the big families and develop their power before attacking the Holy City.
Duan Changqing asked: “Yunnan, what do you want to do the most?”
Xie Yunnan said, “I want everyone to be equal, but it’s too difficult. After I awakened as a priest, I became equal to those around me… …”
Duan Changqing said: “If the big families are still here with their vast tracts of land, ordinary people will still have to rely on them to survive, so they will inevitably be squeezed. I think if you want everyone to be equal, it is best to let everyone equally own the land.”
This world is very much like some countries on the earth where he lived in his first life.
Because of the control of the state, power has always remained in the hands of a small number of “superior people”. True equality is impossible. The so-called democracy is also a joke.
This time, Xie Yunnan and the others can arrange jobs for those in the ghettos, give them houses, etc., but if these people can only rely on those big families, they will lose their jobs in the future, and they may end up in the ghettos again.
Of course, in this world where strength is respected, it is useless for everyone to have land. Can’t strong people snatch other people’s land?
It is best if everyone can cultivate.
Duan Changqing chatted with Xie Yunnan for a long time. When Xie Yunnan fell asleep, he went out of the window and knocked on the window of the Ghost King.
The Ghost King who was awakened just after falling asleep was a little angry, but when he saw Duan Changqing, he could only suppress his anger. “Is something wrong?”
What’s he here for?
Duan Changqing entered through the window gracefully and said to the Ghost King. “I have something for you.”
“What?” the Ghost King asked.
“A training method,” Duan Changqing said. “it is suitable for everyone. Those who practice do not need to eat the meat of exotic beasts. As long as they work hard enough, they can at least become an intermediate warrior, and there is a high probability of awakening as a priest.”
The people here are all demons, which means… they can all cultivate.
Duan Changqing revised a basic training method suitable for demons these days.
This cultivation method does not care about one’s bloodline or talent. It focuses on attention to understanding, level of effort, and is based on martial arts, focusing on bodily cultivation, so getting started is simple.
In the realm of cultivation, demons who have not cultivated into a human form value the strength of their original bodies. But after cultivating a human form… there are many rabbits that can beat tigers.
One’s origin is not important.
Of course, this also depends on perception. But at least every ordinary person has hope. If one has no hope, their children also have hope, right?
What’s more, this is a body cultivation method. Those who work hard but have poor comprehension can still surpass those who have good comprehension but don’t work hard.
The Ghost King was stunned: “Is there such a thing?”
“Yes.” Duan Changqing said.
The Ghost King gasped, and his expression completely changed.
He shouldn’t blame Duan Changqing for not doing anything! This is a man who truly cares for the people.
Everyone gets stronger!
But Liao Muye… finding a substitute.
