"A scream?"

Xiao Wu asked curiously, "Didn't you think about finding out why back then?"

"Well, it's not good to barge into someone's house without an invitation." You Hui naturally had a strong sense of curiosity, but she was somewhat timid. Moreover, since she was three years old, her parents had been teaching her etiquette and rules, so she usually wouldn't violate them.

Moreover, after she returned home, she began to collect various Meditation Method on the market, hoping to create a Meditation Method for Romantina that could rapidly improve her Soul Power. She had no time to care about what happened at the Dales family.

"Huh? You're so careless!" Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips. "This is a matter of life and death. People were screaming, and someone might have been killed. You didn't even think to report it to the authorities?!"

You Hui lowered her head in shame.

Zhou Qing couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to tell Xiao Wu to stop, saying, "Alright, what's the use of her reporting to the authorities? The highest official in Falling Star City is Dales."

"In the territory of a local tyrant, if you sue the local tyrant, who do you think will ultimately suffer?"

"Furthermore, both Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire have places for buying and selling slaves, which are legal and compliant. Servants in wealthy households have no human rights; if they are maimed or killed, no one will seek justice for them..."

The more Zhou Qing spoke, the lower his voice became.

Commoners and servants had no human rights...

Such a world!

He really couldn't stand him at all!

Tang San, Romantina, You Hui, and Ning Rongrong also had opinions about this kind of behavior of "masters beating servants to death," but they only sympathized with it and did not condemn it too much. At most, they would comment that "the master is cruel" and "the servant is unfortunate."

Because in their minds, people are born into different classes, and servants are just unlucky.

Even Tang San, influenced by Zhou Qing, had his thoughts changed a lot, but his understanding of the relationship between "upper" and "lower" was still limited to "those in power should care for ordinary people" and "the strong should protect the weak."

When Zhou Qing described the process of Commoner Soul Master entering the elite system—namely, joining the system, adapting to the system, and maintaining the system—to Tang San, he also indirectly described the corresponding class concept.

Tang San also understands that the contradictions between different classes are eternal, but his Confucianism from his previous life still influences him, and he feels that the essence is caused by the inaction of those in power.

As long as those in power are outstanding, they will surely usher in an era of lasting prosperity!

For example, Tang San was thinking that if Zhou Qing could unify Douluo and become the king of the entire continent, then he would surely bring peace to the world and make the people live in peace.

Seeing the inexplicable trust in Tang San's gaze, Zhou Qing was a little confused. But after glancing at the reactions of the five people present, he noticed that only Xiao Wu was full of enthusiasm, believing that even servants without human rights should not be arbitrarily beaten, scolded, or killed by their masters.

"This is definitely wrong!" In the end, Xiao Wu couldn't come up with a reason, so she could only puff out her cheeks and express her final opinion.

"That's certainly not true, but that's the reality in this era."

Zhou Qing gave Xiao Wu a deep look. "This is not a problem that can be solved with fists. If you encounter something like what You Hui said in the future, you may be able to step forward and save the servant, but you can only save him/her temporarily, not forever."

"Then how can we save Yishi?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask.

"Promise me one thing, and I'll tell you."

Zhou Qing has made up his mind to change this world—

This matter is difficult to accomplish; it requires like-minded individuals.

At present, Zhou Qing believes that Xiao Wu, who has a passionate heart and clear, bright eyes, is far more reliable than Tang San, who was influenced by him in his childhood!

At least in terms of belief, Xiao Wu at this moment is a hundred times purer than Tang San!

"What are the conditions?"

"Before the age of fifty, you must not fall in love with anyone, and even if you do, you must not express it." Zhou Qing's condition was a bit excessive.

But this was a last resort.

After all, he was genuinely afraid that once she fell into the whirlpool of love, she would never be able to escape it, and her mind would be filled only with thoughts of her lover and children.

If Xiao Wu were just an ordinary person, an ordinary Soul Master, and only thought about these things, there would be no problem at all. In fact, if she didn't even think about these things, then there would be something wrong with her brain.

It's truly tragic that Xiao Wu, who has the potential to become Peerless Douluo, only thinks about her family, lover, and children!

Especially in the original series, Xiao Wu has never been clear-headed since she was taken over by love. Even after reaching the level of God Level or God King, the only things she thinks about are her family, children, and husband.

The plots of the Douluo III and Douluo IV battles were all driven by her son and grandson!

The power of God Level has an immense impact on the mortal realm. The Divine Realm decrees that anyone who becomes a god in the lower realm must ascend to godhood after a hundred years...

Leaving aside the "rule-breaking" behavior of the God King in the Divine Realm, who are highly likely to seize every opportunity to have fun due to their idleness—

There's actually some truth to this rule.

"You wouldn't happen to have fallen for me, would you?" Xiao Wu hugged her arms tightly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Don't overthink it. Personally, I don't feel any physical attraction or psychological interest in you, who has no emotion whatsoever." Zhou Qing's gentle and bright eyes were completely calm, and he didn't Xiao Wu's blush had turned into anger. "I just hope that there can be one more person with a brain in our little group. After all, I have no expectations left for that guy whose Martial Soul is a brain."

"How heartbreaking! To Taunt me for being unintelligent in front of so many people—" Romantina's breathing became even heavier when she heard Zhou Qing say this.

Zhou Qing: ┓(;_`)┏

Xiao Wu glanced at Romantina's exaggerated expression, her lips twitched, and she snorted coldly, saying, "Fine, I promise you, tell me the method."

"The method is to smash everything that exists now and establish a completely new order," Zhou Qing said.

"Hiss--"

Xiao Wu gasped, "Are you serious?"

"Still considering it."

"I think this is the best way." Tang San immediately expressed his willingness to unconditionally support Zhou Qing —if they don't want to join the existing system and be assimilated into what the existing system wants them to be, then they can only build a completely new system themselves, so that others can adapt to them!

"Hey, aren't you guys going off-topic?"

Ning Rongrong tilted her head, completely unable to understand what Zhou Qing was saying. "Aren't we discussing the missing persons cases that have occurred in Falling Star City over the past six years, figuring out the truth behind Zhou Qing's parents' deaths, and searching for the Soul Ancestor members you're looking to capture?"

"Actually, it's the same thing."

Zhou Qing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and relaxed his whole body before slowly opening his eyes. His sharp gaze had already subsided, and he asked Tang San, "San'er, have you found out any information?"

"Just as I was about to say—"
