We're Both Human, So Why Is the Difference So Great?
A law-abiding citizen???
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at Li Mubai, when no one could see her.
She didn't believe Li Mubai was that so-called good citizen.
Why was Li Mubai able to cultivate peacefully to the level of Titled Douluo without his fame spreading widely?
She had heard before what kind of person this kid was.
You could say they have some conscience, but definitely not much!
The reason he hadn't gone on a wild adventure before was because he was afraid of running into a brick wall one day.
Even now that he's Titled Douluo, he still maintains a very low profile.
She knew perfectly well that this was definitely not because Li Mubai was being modest; on the contrary, Li Mubai was someone who loved to have fun.
However, nothing in this world holds much appeal for him now, despite his Titled Douluo.
That's why he seemed so calm and collected, like a well-behaved child.
But in reality, that's not the case at all!
Take, for example, the information she had previously heard from the maid.
Li Mubai directly attacked one of the gang members with heavy force.
The gang consisted of more than thirty people, all of whom had at least broken arms or legs, and some were even paralyzed from the waist down.
You call this a 'law-abiding good citizen'?
You seem to have some misunderstanding about what obeying the law is!
"Now that everything's resolved, you should come out quickly. A dignified elder like yourself, arrested by the City Guard Office —I'm ashamed of you, if not me. If you do this, people will think our Spirit Hall elders are pushovers, easy targets."
Bibi Dong finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave.
"Pope Holiness, wait!"
Director Li suddenly called out to Bibi Dong.
Is there anything else?
Turning around, Bibi Dong saw that it was Director Li who had called her. Her eyebrows immediately rose, and her face turned icy, revealing her dissatisfaction.
"This... this... how should he handle this?"
Director Li, trembling and cautious, pointed to the kneeling Xiao Li.
Faced with such a powerful aura, a bead of cold sweat involuntarily slid down his forehead.
"Do I need to review the serious crimes of embezzlement and bribery for you?"
Bibi Dong said coldly, her hostility becoming increasingly evident in her eyes.
She had made up her mind that after some time... no, after tomorrow, she would simply fire this useless person from his position, using any random excuse.
Such a trivial matter actually needs her to make the decision!
Such a lack of courage! Spirit City has no need for such spineless trash!!
"No, no need."
Director Li immediately lowered his head and shook it like a rattle drum.
He does possess the ability to read people's expressions and demeanor.
He had only glanced at Bibi Dong once before, but he could already see the intense dissatisfaction in her eyes.
He didn't dare to say another word.
If we continue, I'm afraid Bibi Dong will deal with us immediately.
Seeing Director Li's reaction, Bibi Dong turned and continued on her way.
And just then...
"Pope Holiness, wait."
Li Mubai quickly stepped out of the cell and then called out to Bibi Dong from behind.
That's it.
Director Li looked at Li Mubai in surprise.
He was scolded for shouting just now.
He never expected that this new elder would dare to address this hot-tempered woman.
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Now.
Director Li lowered his head slightly again, ready to sit back and watch the drama unfold.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Pope's reprimand is imminent.
Is there anything else?
Bibi Dong turned around blankly and asked softly.
Director Li, who had been keeping his head down, was immediately dumbfounded upon hearing this gentle voice.
Without realizing it, she raised her head and looked towards Bibi Dong.
Now.
Bibi Dong's brows relaxed, a hint of doubt on her face, and her eyes filled with patience; where had the frostiness that had appeared just moments before been?
No way?
Why is there such a big difference between people who are all human?
Director Li asked himself the same question.
At this moment, Li Mubai took two steps forward and walked directly to Bibi Dong's side, less than a foot away.
How is this possible?!
How dare he?!
Director Li was once again shocked by Li Mubai's actions.
His eyes widened in shock, and his mouth gaped open, almost dropping to the floor.
He was truly incredulous that Li Mubai would act so boldly!
They actually dared to walk right up to His Holiness the Pope!
You need to know.
He had heard the rumors that His Holiness the Pope disliked women being within three feet of him.
No matter who you are, even if you are an elder of the Worship Hall, it's not allowed!
Anyone who gets within three feet of the Pope will surely be reprimanded by Pope.
And now.
What did he see?
He was astonished to see a new elder who had walked to within a foot of the Pope!
And.
The Pope did not seem to resist this action.
There wasn't even a hint of disgust on his face.
This completely redefined Director Li's understanding of Bibi Dong.
This is absolutely unbelievable!!!
At that moment, he no longer knew how to describe this miraculous scene.
All he knew was that...
If other elders were here and saw this scene, they would surely have the same expression as him.
At this moment, all he wanted to say was: We're all human, so why is there such a huge difference between us?
"When I came in, I spoke with one of the prisoners. Most of the people in this prison were wrongfully imprisoned. So I have a request: that these prisoners be thoroughly investigated again, so that those who were wrongfully imprisoned can regain their sight."
Li Mubai looked at the old man he had spoken with earlier, and his expression suddenly turned serious.
"You actually care about the lives of ordinary people... That suits your personality. I'll have someone thoroughly investigate this again."
Bibi Dong remained silent for a while, then looked at Li Mubai and nodded in agreement.
Li Mubai didn't mince words, and Bibi Dong's reply was the same.
Their conversation was overheard by many people.
Initially, after hearing Li Mubai's words, no one had much hope.
After all, these people are just ordinary people of low status. Who would have the time to go out of their way to overturn their cases?
But.
To everyone's utter surprise, His Holiness the Pope agreed without any hesitation!
These few words, though brief, carry immense weight!
Instantly.
Inside the prison cell, many prisoners immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Li Mubai and Bibi Dong.
"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope, and thank you, Elder Li!"
"His Holiness the Pope is wise and mighty, Elder Li's conscience is clear to Heaven!"
"Hahaha... Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope, thank you, Elder! I will never forget this kindness!"
Inside the prison cell.
Many people were moved to tears, their eyes sparkling with gratitude.
The main hall of the City Guard Office.
Li Mubai and Bibi Dong walked side by side in the hall.
Looking at the future emperor, Li Mubai explained his purpose in doing so:
"Pope Holiness, this is actually a way to win over the hearts and minds of the people."
