These words struck a chord with many, and countless people nodded in agreement.
The passersby were stunned, and the surrounding vendors remained silent.
"The world may be unfair, but hard work should be rewarded and toil should yield results. Powerful families may be influential, but they should give opportunities to those with outstanding abilities and allow those with wisdom and intelligence to climb the ladder."
"If they refuse, if they cut off your path of ascent, do you know what to do?"
The young master's voice suddenly rose, and with a light stroke of his fingers, the originally gentle music turned into a passionate melody.
One student couldn't help but speak up, "We want to resist, we want fairness, we want opportunity."
Without resistance there is no fairness; without fairness there is no opportunity; without opportunity, why should they strive?
These words acted like a spark, igniting the grief and indignation of countless inferiors. They roared for fairness and clenched their fists in rebellion.
They tried to break free of their shackles, climbing and replacing them amidst the horrified gazes of the aristocratic families.
There is only so much wealth in the world; the more people share it, the less wealth there is to gain.
The more fiercely the students roared, the more terrified the spying families became.
However, the more the imperial family tries to suppress the powerful clans, the happier they will be.
Young Master Fufeng did not choose topics randomly; all his words were carefully considered. He knew that the conflict between Xu Mo and the Fang family was not just about cheating in the imperial examinations, but also about class conflict between commoners and aristocratic families, a struggle for power, and a fight for interests.
He used the conversation to reveal the truth about class distinctions and encouraged students to bravely resist.
What Xu Mo, an ordinary student, could not do, countless ordinary students can.
"Isn't this how the Fang family used to bully people, bullying our Young Master Qingzhu?" Wang Mingyu shouted from below.
The already passionate students became even more enraged, waving their fists and roaring, "We demand an explanation from the Fang family!"
"The Fang family cheated on the imperial examinations and slandered commoner students. They are afraid that we will cross social classes, and they are trying to stop us."
"We demand resistance, we demand fairness, we demand opportunity!"
"Punish Fang Yuan! Reject cheating in the imperial examinations!"
The passionate students who were once exploited by the Fang family are now back on track.
They scattered, their pent-up anger turning into a torrent of words; they passionately resisted, using their meager strength.
The meeting came to an end, and snowflakes began to fall, creating a stark contrast with the students' anger.
Xu Mo was filled with complex emotions, his mind racing, waiting for the person on the platform to come down.
He wanted to express gratitude, condemnation, helplessness, melancholy, sighs, and tears.
But he didn't have time to do anything.
The figure on the high platform swayed, the zither in his arms fell away, and he fell backward.
Something splattered out; was it blood?
It's blood.
"Brother Fufeng!"
“Brother Fufeng”.
"younger brother……"
Countless figures rushed toward him.
