"What's the problem?" Night Wind asked.
Gongbu Qiuye sighed and said, "The city lord of Huangtu City is also a martial artist, and as a city lord, he must be very wealthy. If that's the case, why does he still exploit and oppress people living at the bottom? Wealth has no meaning for him anymore."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "No one would complain about having too much wealth, even if they don't need it. Moreover, many martial artists think they are superior and that those inferior to them should stand humbly in front of them. For such people, exploiting and oppressing those living at the bottom is a pleasure in itself."
After a pause, Ye Feng continued, "Moreover, there are also systemic factors at play. The management systems and various regulations of both the Hongtian Empire and the Divine Sword Empire are too outdated and lack any human touch. It's not that the people at the top can't see this, but they are the beneficiaries, so of course they won't share some of their profits with those living at the bottom."
Gongbu Qiuye didn't fully understand what Ye Feng was saying.
But he looked thoughtful, lowering his head slightly as he pondered.
After a while, Gombo Akiha said, "So you don't care at all?"
"I'm already a Saint Realm expert, old friend, don't underestimate me like that, okay? I won't exploit my people like those city lords do all day long. In my opinion, the more miserable the lives of the lower classes are, the more it proves the incompetence of that city lord!"
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Gongbu Qiuye's body trembled slightly.
Then, Gongbu Qiuye said with a sigh, "If only the high-ranking officials of the Hongtian Empire and the Divine Sword Empire, as well as the city lords of various cities, could be as enlightened as you."
“I wish it were like that too, but reality is not like that,” Ye Feng laughed.
It was getting late, so Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "Alright, you've had a long and tiring journey, so you should go back and rest early. Tomorrow, go find Xu Ping'an and ask him to help you detoxify."
“Yes, I will go find him,” Gombu Qiuye said earnestly.
Dawn broke quickly.
Today is the day that Ye Feng, Luo Lin, and Zi Jing will travel to Nanhua City to visit Lin Feifei, the current city lord of Nanhua City.
At this time, it is estimated that the city lord's mansion in Nanhua City has already made preparations to welcome them.
Without further ado, Ye Feng immediately set off with Luo Lin and Zi Jing, riding the Thunder Shuttle to Nanhua City.
This was Rowling's first time traveling far from home with Night Breeze, so she was quite excited, her beautiful cheeks flushed.
Zijing then mocked, "Look how happy you are! Are you this happy when your ancestor takes you out to play?"
"presumptuous!"
Rowling was furious and glared at Bauhinia.
"I'm just stating the facts. You can't stop me from telling the truth, can you?" Zijing said, shaking her head.
"I think you're really asking for it!"
Then Rowling looked at Night Wind and asked, "Ancestor, may I hit her?"
"Go easy on her, or I'll have to treat her." Ye Feng said with a smile.
Zijing's expression changed drastically, but Luo Lin was overjoyed.
Rowling had long wanted to teach Zijing a lesson, and now that she finally had the chance, how could she possibly miss it!
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, Luo Lin rushed towards Zi Jing, who immediately let out a strange cry and disappeared into the shadows.
"I am, after all, the director of the Inspection Department..."
Before Zijing could finish speaking, Luo Lin interrupted her without any politeness: "I am also the dual director of the Foreign Affairs Department and the Logistics Support Department of Xinluo City!"
Zijing really put all her skills into escaping; she was incredibly fast and her movements were agile and unpredictable.
Rowling couldn't catch this guy for a while!
However, the night wind hadn't made the Lightning Shuttle too big, so the space inside the Lightning Shuttle was limited.
Zijing was only a martial artist at the Separation and Union Realm, and the strength of her true energy was nowhere near that of Luo Lin, a martial artist at the True Essence Realm.
After a while, Zijing's condition deteriorated, and she was caught by Rowling without warning.
Then Rowling pinned the brat to the ground and beat her.
But Rowling still took Ye Feng's advice to heart, so she didn't hit hard, and she didn't slap Zijing's face, but instead slapped and hit her buttocks wildly.
Watching the intense scene of Zijing being beaten by Luo Lin and screaming in pain, Ye Feng also showed a knowing smile.
"I...I'm your personal bodyguard, how could you just watch me get beaten up? You have no conscience at all..."
Zijing screamed repeatedly and struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free from Rowling's grasp.
After a long while, Ye Feng finally stopped him, saying, "Alright, that's enough."
"Yes, Ancestor."
Rowling finally stopped and returned to Nightwind's side, satisfied.
"Was it good?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.
Rowling nodded vigorously and said excitedly, "Awesome!"
Zijing rubbed her bottom and got up from the floor, looking at Yefeng with a resentful expression, as if Yefeng had done something to wrong her.
"That's too much, that's too much..." Zijing kept muttering, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Night Breeze ruffled Zijing's head and said, "You really should watch your mouth, or you'll suffer a great loss because of it sooner or later."
"What's there to be afraid of? With you, a Saint Realm expert, backing me up, who would dare to really hurt me?" Zijing said nonchalantly.
"You really are..."
Night Breeze shook his head repeatedly, not knowing how to comment on this brat.
Then Ye Feng looked at Luo Lin and asked, "Has anything happened at the First Spirit Beast Research Institute?"
Rowling shook her head and said, "No, everything is normal there."
The door to the First Spirit Beast Research Institute had been opened by Ye Feng, and he hadn't closed it when he left.
Therefore, if the Creation Beast truly regains consciousness and awakens from its slumber, it can leave the First Spirit Beast Research Institute without any hindrance.
Even if the night wind closes the door of the First Spirit Beast Research Institute, it won't make a difference.
The defensive array of the First Spirit Beast Research Institute requires the combined efforts of three Saint Realm experts to activate or deactivate.
But if it's someone at the Returning to the Void Realm, one person is enough!
The Creation Immortal Beast is a being at the Returning to the Void Realm. Even if it doesn't know how to break through the defensive formation, it can still destroy it by force.
Therefore, whether the bronze gate is closed or not is completely irrelevant.
Ye Feng instructed Chen He to select a group of martial arts guards to stay there, mainly to prevent any other unexpected situations from occurring.
In less than an hour, the lightning shuttle arrived above the city lord's mansion in Nanhua City.
