Dividing the Money, Soul Cards, Victory Banquet

The reason Mo Hen mentioned the book "Commoner and Noble Love" is because Zhou Qing and Qingzhu Zhu's backgrounds are too similar to the beginning of a real-life version of this story!

The story ends in tragedy, of course.

Therefore, Mo Hen wanted to remind Zhou Qing:

Don't have any illusions about Qingzhu Zhu. She's not a girl that Commoner Soul Master can ever win over. After all, reality is not like a story. For Commoner Soul Master to be with a noble Soul Master, it's not enough to just close the gap in strength.

If Qingzhu Zhu were just an ordinary young lady, it would be fine, but since she has connections with the Star Luo Royal Academy Team... it's best not to get involved.

He knew that Zhou Qing possessed a maturity beyond his years and could understand the unspoken meaning in his words.

If one goes mad for love and embarks on the path of Fallen Ones, it will harm both oneself and others.

However, Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh that sometimes, the problems that the powerful and wealthy Soul Master couldn't even notice were actually noticed by the commoner Soul Master Commoner Soul Master at the bottom of society, such as Mo Hen, and they could learn from them.

The social system of the Douluo Continent is definitely sick, seriously sick... Anyway, I, Transmigrator from the modern world, can't stand it...

but--

Zhou Qing also has some of the flaws that modern people have, namely, the more he knows and understands, the more timid and hesitant he becomes. He always thinks about preparing and accumulating first, and in short, he wants to have the power to crush all people and forces on the continent before he can make a big move.

But what kind of power can crush everything?

Level 100!

However, above the Douluo Continent, there exists a Divine Realm...

[ε=(ο`*)))Sigh——]

Sighing inwardly, Zhou Qing smiled and replied to Mo Hen, "Teacher Mo, what kind of lame joke are you telling? I'm only six years old!"

"Ha ha."

Mo Hen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud, "That's true. You're only six years old, and relationships between men and women aren't within my purview. I'm still single too."

Tang San, however, noticed Zhou Qing's fleeting worry and hesitation...

Subsequently, Zhou Qing and the others found Nuoding Money House. Based on the value of the Moon Shines Brightly in the Twelve Towers, Zhou Qing took out 240,000 Gold Soul Coin from Tang San's share, divided them evenly into six parts, and also processed a Soul Card for himself, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Wang Sheng, transferring the Gold Soul Coin into it.

Although Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu all have Adventure Card, obtaining an additional Soul Card would allow them to store a larger amount of Gold Soul Coin in the future.

Zhou Qing then processed another one—the one belonging to Qingzhu Zhu, which she had to keep for now.

"Here you go, Brother Wang, this is your reward." Zhou Qing handed one of the Soul Card to Wang Sheng.

"Um, me, um..."

Although it had been agreed upon beforehand, the amount of 40,000 Gold Soul Coin still left Wang Sheng somewhat dumbfounded.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't go around telling anyone, no one here will." Zhou Qing's gaze fell on Mo Hen. "Teacher Mo, you won't tell anyone, will you?"

"No, definitely not!"

Seeing Zhou Qing and Tang San staring intently at him, Mo Hen swore to the heavens that he would never tell anyone. After all, he had been a teacher at the academy for nearly five years and earned less than a thousand Gold Soul Coin a year, let alone now that he had suddenly received forty thousand.

If this gets out, I'll be constantly being asked to treat other teachers in the college to meals.

"Thank you, Qing Ge." Wang Sheng's hands trembled as he accepted the Soul Card. Of all the words he wanted to say, only "thank you" came out.

"What are you thanking me for? Everyone saw your performance in the competition. You deserve it." Zhou Qing put his arm around Wang Sheng's shoulder and invited the others to go to the Nuoding Guild. "If you really want to thank us, treat us to a meal at the Nuoding Guild. They occasionally send fresh Soul Beast there."

"Okay! My treat!" Wang Sheng stopped being coy.

Just as they left the money exchange, the Lord of Nuoding City were waiting outside, inviting Zhou Qing and the others to get into the carriage and go to the Xiao Manor for a gathering.

"Teacher Mo Hen is truly young and promising. He has actually been able to teach such an outstanding student, bringing glory to Nuoding City. He is truly Grandmaster!"

During the victory celebration banquet, City Lord Xiao congratulated Mo Hen.

"City Lord, it's all because my students are excellent; it has nothing to do with me." Mo Hen knew his own limitations and dared not admit it, otherwise, if Xiao Lang wanted him to teach Xiao Chenyu in the future, he would be in big trouble.

"Teacher Mo Hen is being too modest, isn't he?" City Lord Xiao hooked Mo Hen's shoulder with his one arm and walked to a less crowded side, where he indeed started talking about Xiao Chenyu, leaving Mo Hen quite helpless.

"City Lord Xiao has lost an arm, yet he's still so energetic?" Xiao Wu picked up a pastry, her mouth full of cream, and glanced at City Lord Xiao, who was chatting and laughing with Mo Hen. She said venomously, "Who knows, maybe one day he'll lose his other arm too."

"They can talk, we'll eat," Zhou Qing said, his gaze inadvertently falling on the large, stout figure.

Dales!

Didn't this guy Falling Star City?

Tang San followed Zhou Qing's gaze and noticed Dales as well, his brows furrowing slightly. "It seems that this banquet is not just to celebrate our championship victory."

"Isn't it obvious? Of all the nobles from Nuoding City present, besides Romantina's father who came to see us, who else?" Xiao Wu wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth, picked up another pastry, and stuffed it into her mouth.

"With the way you eat, no wonder no one wants to come over," Zhou Qing complained, then imitated Xiao Wu, picking up a pastry covered in cream and putting it in her mouth.

"You talk as if you eat elegantly."

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes, then noticed Xiao Chenyu not far away, discussing something with Liu Long and Ling Feng. She called out, "Xiao Chenyu, and those two, come here!"

Xiao Chenyu's body stiffened instantly. He mechanically turned his head and saw Xiao Wu with her mouth full of cream. His smile collapsed at a visible speed, and then he forced a smile back, as if someone had sat on his buttocks and covered him in cream cake. "Sister Xiao Wu."

Liu Long and Ling Feng felt a jolt in their hearts, but they could only grit their teeth and follow Xiao Wu Xiao Chenyu, who was like a great demon king.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

"Even if it means going through fire and water, we will definitely accomplish it!"

Xiao Wu stuffed the whole pastry into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out. She casually lifted the tablecloth, wiped the cream off her lips and face, and even wiped her hands.

These scenes made Xiao Chenyu, Liu Long, and Ling Feng, the three young nobles, extremely uncomfortable. Even though they had bullied work-study students in the past, their manners, whether walking, sitting, or eating, always reflected the etiquette of nobles, and they had always looked down on the eating habits of country folk.

However, when facing Xiao Wu, Zhou Qing, and Tang San, he dared not show any disdain.

Regardless of whether they are from prominent families or not, their performance in this Friendly Tournament alone was enough to attract the attention of their elders, who then demanded that they cultivate a good relationship with them.

In fact, Zhou Qing and Tang San also felt that Xiao Wu's behavior after the meal was a bit too carefree... she should at least be more mindful of the occasion.

However, Zhou Qing and Tang San exchanged a glance and neither of them tried to dissuade them. After all, their eating habits were hardly elegant; they were just trying to keep their table a little cleaner and tidier. They shouldn't make a fuss over each other, since Xiao Wu hadn't actually spat the pastries on anyone's face, had she?

"Tell us, what's Dales still doing here? Isn't he going to see the Star Luo Royal Academy Team off Nuoding City? Isn't that his master?"
