Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

Jingyuan looked at Penny and suddenly asked, "Do you know what excuse they used to arrange for Ran Bing to go to the Morning Light Hall? Logically speaking, given Ran Bing's age and position, it shouldn't be her turn."

In the original novel, Ran Bing became a substitute because Penny died in battle.

But Penny is alive and well now, so there's no reason for Ran Bing to become a substitute.

“During the last mission, a hunter named Vanessa was killed in action, so Ran Bing was put in her place.”

Jingyuan had never heard of this name before.

But that makes sense, since Charles is going to assign Ran Bing a task, it's just a matter of a word.

Jing Yuan let out a long breath. He had originally thought it would take two days, but now it seemed he needed to act quickly.

Suddenly, a figure streaked across the sky.

Ran Bing was seen flying around the lighthouse in a glider with a girl.

"It's Ran Bing!"

When Penny saw this, she was first surprised, then looked at Ran Bing with a smile.

Next, Ran Bing has an accident while riding a glider, and Mark tries his best to save her.

The two flew through the air in a very romantic way.

Apart from Jingyuan and Penny, no one else associated this scene with romance.

The people of the lighthouse have been celibate for too long; they can't even think about such things.

Mark carried Ran Bing past the windows of their teammates one by one.

When the plane flew to the window of the law firm, Charles saw this scene and hid in his room, secretly laughing.

The thought of Mark's desperate and powerless struggle after blatantly violating the Lighthouse Law is unbearable.

Charles couldn't help but laugh.

He couldn't wait to witness this scene with his own eyes.

Jingyuan glanced at Penny and asked, "Want to go get some melon seeds?"

"Eating melon?"

Penny looked puzzled.

Immediately afterwards, Jingyuan took Penny to the rooftop farm.

It seems that Jingyuan knew in advance that Mark and Ranbing would land at the aerial farm.

The two hid in the shadows and watched Ran Bing confess her feelings to Mark.

"Have all the Devouring Beasts been defeated?"

Is the ground safe?

"Can you count the corpses of the hunters?"

Listen to Mark's questions, one by one.

Even Penny, who was just watching from the sidelines, thought it was really too much.

"Ran Bing must be very sad right now!"

"That's for sure."

Why won't Mark accept it?

"He hasn't been able to face his own heart yet."

In the distance, Ran Bing said sadly, "I'm going to the Dawn Hall tonight. Do you want me to finish it?"

Mark replied, his face ashen, "Finish your task!"

The two left with their backs to each other.

Jingyuan looked at Penny and said, "Let's go! We have other things to do!"

Chapter 91 The Hunters Support Mark

Jingyuan and Penny left the farm. Jingyuan said to Penny, "Penny, go and gather Mo Cheng, Erica and the others. I'll go find Xuefeng and Kunjie. We'll meet at the supply warehouse."

"What do you want to do?"

“Mark may do something unexpected next, and we must ensure that even if he does, the power of the city lord will be transferred smoothly.”

“Do you think Mark would do something foolish for Ran Bing?” Penny asked, puzzled. “But he just rejected Ran Bing.”

"It takes time to see your own heart clearly."

Penny seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to.

"I don't see any of these struggles in you, it's as if you saw it all along."

Jing Yuan smiled slightly, "I just have one more perspective than you."

"Why don't we just tell Mark that Charles arranged all of this?"

“I will tell him, but not now.”

Penny nodded, and then, following Jingyuan's instructions, visited Mo Cheng and the others one by one.

They were all resting when Penny suddenly found them and said that Jingyuan had summoned them.

Although they were puzzled, they accepted the invitation out of respect for Jingyuan.

Jingyuan found Xuefeng and the others, who were initially puzzled as well.

Jingyuan only said one sentence: "Mark is in danger and needs your help."

Then, all these people came.

No one usually comes to the supply warehouse; it's one of the few places Jingyuan knows about.

The people who come here are all elites from the hunter team, and are people that Jing Yuan knows will definitely help Mark.

The younger generation: Mo Cheng, Erica, and Feixue. The older generation: Xuefeng, Kunjie, Gaoge, Haji, Gavin, Jeff, and Corey.

Especially Xuefeng and his group.

In the original story, it was these guys who persuaded Mark to sit down first and then consider the rest.

However, in the end, none of them were able to return.

As the eldest among them, Xuefeng spoke first, asking, "Jingyuan, you called us all here, saying it was about Mark. What happened to Mark?"

Of course, Jingyuan couldn't say that Mark was about to be killed by Charles's scheme, otherwise he would seem too monstrous.

He could only use the same words he had used to advise Mark to tell them what might happen next.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before I tell you about Mark, please listen to a story I have read in a book from the Old World, a story about a king and his two sons."

Jingyuan repeated the historical anecdote he had told Mark in front of everyone.

The older folks, including Xuefeng, immediately understood that Jingyuan was referring to Mark and Charles.

Xuefeng asked directly, "Do you think Charles would kill Mark in order to seize the position of city lord?"

Jingyuan nodded directly and said, "Now that Morgan has announced Mark's succession, Charles's only way to become the city lord is to kill Mark!"

"Hahaha!" Haji laughed, "Jingyuan, don't you know Mark's strength? Charles wants to kill Mark? What will he use to do it?"

"That's right. Of Charles's group, only Big Dog Sharif is somewhat capable of fighting; the others are no match for him."

Jingyuan smiled and said, "If Charles could fight Mark one-on-one and defeat him, then why not let him be the city lord? Unfortunately, Charles doesn't have that ability. All he can do is scheme and trick. Besides, why use a knife to kill someone, and why do you have to do it yourself?"

Xuefeng thought for a moment and said, "Jingyuan is right! If Charles wants to kill Mark, he certainly won't use conventional methods."

Xuefeng, as expected of the most experienced hunter, looked at Jingyuan and asked, "Jingyuan, what do you want us to do?"

Jingyuan looked at everyone and said, "Even if Charles wants to make a move against Mark, he hasn't done anything yet! We can't just rush into the law firm and strike first. What we can do is be prepared so that if Charles is ready to make a move, we have the ability to kill him in return."

"You don't need to tell us, we'll do it anyway."

"that is!"

Jingyuan looked at them and believed they could do it.

"There's one more thing. I haven't been with the Wilderness Hunters long and I'm not familiar with the people here. I'd like to know, if... I mean, if things develop to the point where we have to take action, how many people in the Wilderness Hunters would support Mark as the city lord?"

Xuefeng and the others exchanged glances and did a quick calculation: "Currently, there are fewer than a hundred people in the Hunters team, but eighty percent of them support Mark!"

“Then that’s about eighty people.” Jing Yuan did a quick calculation. “Eighty people it is. Eighty armed personnel are enough to control the upper echelons of the Lighthouse.”

"Jingyuan!" Xuefeng stared at Jingyuan and asked, "You told me before that you strongly support Mark. But I want to know, why do you support Mark?"

“It’s very simple,” Jingyuan said with a smile, “because only Mark can bring about change to the Lighthouse.”

"Does Mark know anything about what you're talking about?" The person who asked this question was Mo Cheng.

“I told him, but given Mark’s personality…”

“He won’t agree with your idea,” Mo Cheng retorted.

“Yes!” Erica chimed in from the side, “Even if Captain Mark doesn’t become the city lord, he won’t kill anyone. If Charles wants to be the city lord, then let him be.”

Jing Yuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Erica, things aren't as simple as you think. It's true that Mark might not want to be the city lord. But think about it, what would the Lighthouse become if Charles were the city lord? What kind of organization is the Light and Shadow Society he manages? They do nothing all day but control people's hearts and oppress the masses. What has allowed the Lighthouse to get to where it is today? It's because we hunters risk our lives to collect resources on the ground! It's because of the hard work of the agricultural and production departments! But in their mouths, all of this is the credit of the Lord of Light and Shadow! They say it's the Lord of Light and Shadow's credit, but it's actually the credit of their Light and Shadow Society, the credit of their leader, the credit of Charles! What has Charles done? Has he ever gone to the ground to collect resources? Has he ever planted a single grain of rice in the agricultural area? Nothing! Think about it, what would the Lighthouse become if such a person became the city lord?"
