Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 76 Who can be more pure-minded than whom?
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingtong looked at He Caitou who was standing beside him. He didn't care about all this.

However, Jiang Qingtong was not too surprised, because he didn't consider himself a citizen of the Sun and Moon Empire anyway.

But Jiang Qingtong is from the Sun and Moon Empire, at least that’s her personality!

So, although Jiang Qingtong was laughing in his heart, he pretended to be confused and raised his hand and asked, "I have a question, Master Xuan!"

Her words attracted everyone's attention. Xuan Zi and Bei Bei in the crowd looked at her at the same time. Xuan Zi said, "Ask."

Jiang Qingtong asked, "Master Xuan just said that the Sun-Moon Empire has been trying to start an evil war to disrupt the continent? I don't understand why the war started by the Sun-Moon Empire must be evil?"

After hearing the question she asked, Xuan Zi suddenly realized that this was a great opportunity to educate Jiang Qingtong and make her disgusted with the Sun and Moon Empire, so he coughed lightly, put away a little of his frivolousness, and looked at Jiang Qingtong seriously.

Xuan Zi was like an old teacher teaching in a classroom. He exaggerated the war between the Sun Moon Empire and the three kingdoms that originally belonged to Douluo Continent, and instilled in Jiang Qingtong the glorious and just image of the three kingdoms that originally belonged to Douluo Continent and Shrek Academy fighting for the people of the world.

Although Jiang Qingtong listened to Xuanzi's story seriously like everyone else, he scoffed at his words in his heart.

The three kingdoms of Douluo Continent and Shrek Academy went to war with the Sun-Moon Empire for the sake of the people of the world?

Don't be ridiculous. Isn't it enough to just say it's for the sake of one's own rule? Why do you have to put yourself on the moral high ground and criticize others? This sanctimonious and hypocritical behavior is really the same old thing.

When the Sun-Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent collided, who could say the three kingdoms originally belonging to the Douluo Continent had no thoughts about the suddenly appearing vast land? It was simply because the Sun-Moon Empire possessed soul guides that they were struck first.

They are all feudal empires, so who can be more innocent than who?

But now, under the leadership of Shrek Academy, the consensus across the continent is that the evil war crimes launched by the Sun-Moon Empire are unforgivable! This is the problem of public opinion not being in their own hands.

However, even though she thought so in her heart, Jiang Qingtong still showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on the surface. She murmured, "So that's how it is!"

Life is all about acting.

Sorry, she should go and receive an award.

After seeing her reaction, Xuan Zi asked, "Qing Tong, during your years in the Sun Moon Empire, how did they describe the war?"

The others' eyes fell on Jiang Qingtong, waiting for her answer. There was curiosity and inquiry in everyone's eyes.

Wang Dong remained noncommittal about Xuanzi's story, suggesting that Dai Huabin, Beibei, and others had heightened their dislike for the Sun-Moon Empire. Xiaoxiao and Jiang Nannan, however, didn't harbor much dislike due to Jiang Qingtong's presence.

There was no other reason. They were both commoners. Although Xiaoxiao's family background was much better than Jiang Nannan's, she was not the one in power. Naturally, she could not think about these things from the perspective of the one in power.

It was even more impossible for Jiang Nannan to empathize with any nobles. She might have thought that if the Sun-Moon Empire had been able to conquer all three kingdoms that originally belonged to Douluo Continent, then the lives of the common people would at least not be worse than they are now.

Therefore, the people who are most immune to Xuanzi's words here are Jiang Qingtong, Jiang Nannan and Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Qingtong fell into deep thought, while Jiang Shengyu, on the other side, captured a Soul Palace staff member and asked him about some things about the war thousands of years ago. He then slightly modified the story and had Jiang Qingtong tell it again. Naturally, the story was meant to satisfy Xuanzi and others' prejudiced views on the Sun Moon Empire.

After listening to Jiang Qingtong's story, Xuanzi revealed an expression of astonishment and said, "See? The Sun-Moon Empire's evil ambitions haven't disappeared until now! So in the future, you must work hard to maintain peace on the continent and curb the ambitions of the Sun-Moon Empire!"

After he finished speaking to everyone, he wanted to say something more to Jiang Qingtong, but then he remembered Moon's instructions and told Jiang Qingtong not to develop any rebellious mentality.

It is enough to subtly let her think that the Sun-Moon Empire is not good and Shrek Academy is good.

Jiang Qingtong is here at the college, and time is here at the college.

Xuan Zi took a deep breath and said, "However, the Sun-Moon Empire is afraid of our Shrek Academy and dare not start a war at this time! However, their probing has never stopped."

"The Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Instructor Academy is the Sun-Moon Empire's representative sent out to test our strength! In this Soul Master Competition, they will test the specific strength of our new generation!"

"How despicable!" Dai Huabin clenched his fists and cursed, "What a scheming Sun and Moon Empire!"

"However, the academy has measures in place for this! Every competition will be led by the Shrek Seven Devils from the inner courtyard. This ensures that the evil intentions of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy can be defeated."

Xuan Zi said this and explained the legend of the Shrek Seven Devils to everyone.

"Ever since ten thousand years ago, the Shrek Seven Devils have been selected from the academy every five years to serve as official members of the Soul Master Competition! The official members of this session are basically the reserve members of the previous session."

At this point, Xuan Zi glanced at everyone and said, "So, you all have the chance to become a member of the Shrek Seven Devils!"

After hearing his words, even Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao, who had been relatively calm just now, became a little excited.

Jiang Nannan practices hard in order to prove herself and give her family a good life. Although Xiaoxiao does not have such lofty ambitions, the legend of the Shrek Seven Devils is so famous that she never thought that one day she would be able to become one of them!
Jiang Qingtong looked at the excited people around him with a calm expression.

She is from the Sun-Moon Empire. If she shows excitement towards the Shrek Seven Devils at this time, that would be a big problem.

Xuan Zi suppressed everyone's excitement and continued, "Today's selection competition is not the final word. For the next five years, you will be constantly scrutinized. Only when you are strong enough will you be able to represent the academy!"

"Yes, Mr. Xuan!"

Several people answered loudly.

Elder Xuan looked at everyone's reactions and nodded in satisfaction. He said, "Beibei, Qingtong, you two stay for a while. The rest of you can go. Also, you must not reveal the fact that you are on the reserve team, otherwise you will be disqualified."

"Yes!" Everyone nodded.

Jiang Qingtong and Beibei stayed behind. Beibei looked at Master Xuan and asked, "Master Xuan, do you have anything else to tell us?"
