Ridiculous Equality

"Good morning, esteemed teachers and dear students. With excited hearts, we welcome Tian Lan High School's annual assessment..."

On the podium, Mu He, as a school board member, delivered his speech with a solemn expression, his words filled with earnest expectations for the young Mages.

Who would have thought that this guy's true identity was the Great Deacon Huzhen?

Below the stage.

"He really can talk," Mo Fan grumbled, "He's been talking for over ten minutes, hurry up with the assessment!"

"Heh, you're just eager to show off in front of Mu Ningxue, aren't you?" Xu Fang mercilessly exposed him. Mo Fan didn't show any shame and said enthusiastically, "So what if I am? Xue Xue is my wife, is it showing off to impress my wife?"

As he spoke, Mo Fan's eyes couldn't stop glancing towards the podium.

Mu He on the stage said loudly, "Today is also a very special day."

"Because we have invited the most outstanding young Mage in Bocheng, a genius among geniuses!

She was directly admitted to the Imperial Capital Magic Academy at the age of 15. I believe many of you started your high school life listening to her legend.

Let's give a round of applause to welcome this magical genius, Mu Ningxue, who should have been in your year but has already advanced to university!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire playground with over a thousand people stirred.

"Holy crap, the school's serious! They actually invited my goddess!"

"I'm also Ice Element. I heard that when Mu Ningxue awakened, her Ice Element power instantly froze the ground beneath her feet."

"That's too exaggerated. Let me tell you the accurate news, Mu Ningxue learned Ice Vine in just eight months, eight months!"

"A rookie who can only form five Star Seeds in a year is crying. I'm sorry to be human."

"Superficial! When will you all be like me and see past the goddess's powerful inner self to her perfect appearance?"

The playground, which had been drowsy due to Mu He's speech, was now in an uproar.

They never imagined that an ordinary high school would be able to see her.

It was simply... too cool!

Amidst applause and cheers, a beautiful figure, as pure white as a lotus, ascended the podium. Just a simple dress made her outshine all the girls in the school.

Compared to the young lady's figure, what was even more striking was undoubtedly the stunning, snow-white, middle-parted long hair.

Middle part, overalls, I am Ai Kun, remember...

"Pfft!"

Mo Fan looked at Xu Fang, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I just thought of something happy." Xu Fang coughed lightly, forcing himself not to look at the middle-parted hair.

Mo Fan looked at him suspiciously, "You... you're not going to be so beastly as to have ideas about my wife, are you?"

"Am I that kind of person? Don't forget, I was the one who let you elope back then," Xu Fang said, displeased with Mo Fan's distrustful attitude.

"That's true."

As the two were chatting, Zhao Kun San, who seemed to be lingering like a ghost, jumped out again, "I say, you two are really shameless. What gives you the nerve to try and get close to Mu Ningxue?"

Mo Fan cursed, "Zhao Kun San, why are you acting crazy for no reason? What did I ever do to you?"

A loser who couldn't even cast magic, where did he get the nerve to repeatedly push his luck?

"Didn't provoke you?"

Zhao Kun San acted as if he had heard the biggest joke, his voice becoming shrill, "How was our Zhao Family Village's land repossessed? If you hadn't had those wishful thinking thoughts, would our family have ended up like this?"

Zhao Kun San was also from this area and was considered a servant of the Mu Clan.

Servant, the term might seem abrupt in modern times, but if the means of livelihood for your entire family depended on the Mu Clan's mistress liking to grow flowers, then how could the Zhao family, who had always been responsible for the manor's landscaping and flowers, not be considered gardener servants?

The Mu family were the uncrowned kings of Bocheng. Their Mu Family Manor occupied the best location in the entire Bocheng. It wasn't just the view that was elevated, but also their status.

The entire Mu Family Manor might only have a hundred or so noble members, but there were thousands of people who depended on them for a living!

Both Mo Fan's and Zhao Kun San's families were like this. These people had little dignity, living at the mercy of the Mu Clan.

Just like the elopement incident back then, the truth was that the young lady Mu Ningxue had had enough of the walls and restrictions and naively asked Mo Fan to take her away from home.

From any angle, Mu Ningxue was the one who made the mistake.

However, the Mu Clan were the masters, and this was a clearly defined magical world.

Mu Ningxue was wrong, but not wrong.

Mo Fan was not wrong, but was wrong.

Since a servant made a mistake, punishing all the servants to serve as a warning to the rebellious young master was a reasonable and cost-effective thing to do, wasn't it?

"I say, Mo Fan, can you use your brain? Some people are beyond our reach in this lifetime. It's better for you and your family if you keep your distance early on. You insist on courting death, insisting on courting death!

Do you think a toad can eat swan meat? Do you think this is a novel or a TV show!

A rotten orange is a rotten orange. You were a rotten orange before, you are a rotten orange today, and you will be a rotten orange your entire life!

And you, Xu Fang! Having a father who's a Sky Eagle Mage makes you so great? Why didn't you stop Mo Fan, causing our entire family to be punished by Old Master Mu? Are you satisfied?"

Zhao Kun San was furious, his chubby face turning red.

He had wanted to say these words for a long time. Mu Ningxue's appearance this time had completely stirred up the resentment Zhao Kun San had been hiding in his heart.

In his opinion, his misfortunes all stemmed from the repercussions of that foolish act by Mo Fan back then.

Who the hell do you think you are, having the gall to hook up with the little princess!?

This isn't a fairy tale. There's no kind-hearted King of Mind Magic and benevolent Queen of Blessing Magic, nor a healing princess who needs a poor boy to protect her!

If you cross that line, the King's furious lightning will make the entire country tremble!

Today, the handsome, middle-aged man with streaks of white in his hair, standing slightly behind the podium, is that King!

His name is Mu Zhuoyun, a man who could truly shake Bocheng with a stomp of his foot.

Xu Fang and Mo Fan exchanged a glance.

"What's he barking about?"

"Probably used to being a dog."

Zhao Kun San was furious. He felt he had spoken of the world's indifference so profoundly that he was almost moved to tears himself. These two scoundrels should have been touched.

But instead of appreciating it, they were mocking him!

"What, am I wrong? I just can't stand that foolish thing you did..."

Xu Fang impatiently interrupted him, "They're a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Is it your place, as a Yaoguai, to object?"

As someone who had received a complete nine-year compulsory education, he looked down on those who claimed to have "seen through society." They sleep in late, play games all afternoon, imagine oppressive scenarios at night, and awaken late in the morning. After watching a few short videos, they claim that hard work isn't worth it, social mobility is impossible, and it's fine to just lie flat, blaming all their failures on a lack of resources.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet your sister!

These people are not even as good as Zhao Kun San. At least Fatty Zhao has truly been beaten by society.

Mo Fan was not convinced by Zhao Kun San's twisted logic. Damn it, it was clearly Old Dog Mu's fault, yet this fatso is pinning it all on your Grandpa Mo Fan. Do you really think my Lightning Seal is just for show?

In the crowd, Mu Bai watched the scene coldly.

Xu Fang, Mo Fan, after today, I will let you know the vast difference between scions of noble families and common grassroots!

That laughable equality that disdains Magic, let me, Mu Bai, shatter it to pieces with my Ice Vine!
