Qin Yun's Ambition Takes Root

"An angel?"

"Are you an angel?"

The man on the ground could not help asking.

Bathed in sunlight, Qin Yun truly looked like an angel descended to earth.

"An angel? I'm not. My name is Qin Yun, and I'm Daddy's child."

Qin Yun smiled gently.

Seeing her smile, the men were dazed. It was the first time they had felt a noble show kindness toward people at the very bottom like them.

"No, you are an angel—an angel who saved us."

The man lowered his head and spoke loudly.

"Thank you, Lady Angel, for saving us. We can never repay you."

"It's nothing, really. I didn't even make a move. Daddy and Auntie were the ones who helped you."

Qin Yun waved her hand gently in explanation. She had not even awakened her martial soul yet, so how could she possibly have the strength to deal with people who possessed Soul Power?

"Thank you, milords, thank you. But you should leave this place first. Lei Erbi's family will never let you go.

"His father, Lei Jie, is a Soul King. He dotes on Lei Erbi greatly. If he finds out about you, he will do everything in his power to deal with you."

"Lei Jie? The Lei Family? What an imposing reputation."

Zhu Zhuqing gave a disdainful smile from the side.

What was the Lei Family? A family with only a Soul King was nothing.

"Don't worry. We'll handle this matter. Just go about your lives in peace."

Qin Feng continued gently. Then he picked up Qin Yun and vanished from the spot with Zhu Zhuqing.

The people on the ground were left staring at one another, not knowing what to do.

Lei Jie was a powerful Soul King. Although he was nothing remarkable on the Douluo Continent, to ordinary people like them who could not cultivate, he was still someone they could only look up to.

"What do we do? They went there because of us. If something happens to them, we'll never be able to forgive ourselves."

"Exactly. They saved us, yet they're going to be in danger because of us. My conscience can't bear it."

"My conscience can't bear it either, but they're Lord Soul Masters. We only have one or two levels of Soul Power. What use could we possibly be?"

"Ah..."

The group sighed helplessly and could only silently pray that nothing would happen to them.

They did not even notice that Lei Erbi, who had been lying on the ground, had disappeared.

Qianxin City Spirit Hall Branch!

Qin Feng took out a Papal Token. The branch's deacon and the many Spirit Hall Soul Masters all dropped to one knee.

"Greetings, my lord. What are your orders?"

The deacon lowered his head respectfully.

The Papal Token was something only the Spirit Hall Pope possessed. Since this man held a Papal Token, he had to be one of the Pope's trusted confidants.

But why was he holding a child? What kind of arrangement was this?

"Deacon, what do you think of the Lei Family and the city lord of Qianxin City?"

Qin Feng asked flatly.

"In response to my lord, Lei Jie has made tremendous contributions to Qianxin City. He is impartial and incorruptible, treats others kindly, and has great respect for ordinary people."

"Stop. Wait a moment. Are you sure the person you're talking about is Lei Jie?"

Qin Feng hurriedly cut off the deacon's lengthy praise. The person he described was completely different from the one Qin Feng had heard about.

"In response to my lord, the one I spoke of is indeed Lei Jie of the Lei Family. There is no one else."

Though the deacon did not understand why Qin Feng said this, he still explained respectfully.

"Is that so? It seems Deacon, you have stayed in the hall for so long that you have forgotten to go outside and experience the hardships of ordinary life.

"Still, Lei Jie certainly has some tricks. He actually managed to deceive you all with false information."

"My lord means that Lei Jie deceived me?"

The deacon looked at Qin Feng in shock.

"Whether you were deceived or not, I will make no judgment. But now, everyone from the Qianxin City Spirit Hall Branch is to mobilize and arrest every member of the Lei Family."

"Yes, my lord!"

The deacon answered in a deep voice, then led everyone to Qianxin City to arrest the Lei Family members. He himself took two people to capture Lei Jie.

Whether Lei Jie had deceived him or not, Lei Jie was already doomed. He had actually dared to anger this lord.

There was no way he would survive.

"Daddy, why do ordinary people have to be enslaved by nobles? Why do nobles even kill ordinary people whenever they become unhappy?"

Qin Yun raised her head to look at Qin Feng. Before arriving here, she and Qin Feng had already witnessed many things in the various families of Qianxin City.

Lei Erbi's case was not an exception. Every noble family acted this way.

They did not treat those beneath them as people, using them like livestock.

And at the slightest disagreement, they would kill. This was nothing like the world she had imagined.

No, it was completely different!

In her innocence, she had thought that every other place in the world would be like the Nether Duke's Estate: happy places without the slightest oppression.

Yet after coming to just one other city, she had discovered a completely different reality.

"Yun'er, this world is distorted. It is basically very difficult for ordinary people to rise up. The nobles control most of the power, making the path upward extremely narrow.

"In the eyes of many nobles, ordinary lives are the cheapest. If Soul Masters did not possess strength, then those Soul Masters without backing would probably be treated as expendable goods as well."

Qin Feng spoke gently, trying his best to make Qin Yun understand.

"Brother-in-law, isn't it a little too early to tell Yun'er such things?" Zhu Zhuqing reminded him from the side. She could not bear to see Qin Yun thinking about such cruel matters at such a young age.

"It's all right, Auntie. I understand. Daddy, tell me—can I make sure things like this never happen again in the future?" Qin Yun looked at Qin Feng, her eyes shining brightly.

She seemed to have found a path, one that belonged to her alone.

"Well, you can. But it requires someone with great strength and the courage to change everything. This road will be difficult. Are you sure you want to walk it?"

"I do. I don't want ordinary people to be treated as livestock just because they lack strength. I want them to have the rights that belong to them. I want everyone across the continent to have a place to live, clothes to wear, and happy smiles on their faces."

"Ah, Yun'er, that is truly an incredible ambition. I support you. Go ahead and do it."

"Qin Feng, Yun'er is still just a child!"

"It's fine. Yun'er isn't an ordinary child. She's Qin Feng's daughter, isn't she?"

"Yes. I'm Daddy's daughter. I can definitely do it."

VIP Chatroom!

Ning Fengzhi: So this was the root cause of Qin Yun unifying the continent? She saw nobles enslaving and casually beating ordinary people to death, and then went on to accomplish the great feat of unifying the continent.

Dai Jili: Damn Lei Family, damn Lei Jie, damn Lei Erbi! It was because of you that Qin Yun developed other ideas. You truly deserve to die. Someone, go to Qianxin City and bring every member of the Lei Family back to me.
