Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Saint Master, Twelve Talismans Chaotic the Continent

Chapter 96 One Thing

……

"Davies ran away?"

Nan Feng looked at Hu Liena with a strange expression.

"How did you get there?"

"Um..." Hu Liena looked at Zhu Zhuyun, whom she had brought over.

"She helped them escape."

During the months she spent in Wuhun City, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing were taken care of by her, while her original job was taken over by Nan Feng.

Davis and Dai Mubai were modified by Xie Yue and Yan.

Her side was progressing relatively smoothly, but Xie Yue and the others were having some problems. Of course, this was understandable, since Davis and Dai Mubai were royalty, the highest ruling class of Xingluo. The class consciousness they had been instilled with since birth was not something they could change in just a few months.

Just like the elders of the Spirit Hall, most of them were gradually transformed by Nan Feng over several years. Xie Yue and Yan only took a short time. If they succeeded, it would be a bit strange.

Just yesterday afternoon, after Nan Feng announced the successful completion of the first phase of the exchange activity and that the visiting princes could confidently leave Wuhun City, Davis immediately went to Zhu Zhuyun crying and begging her to help him leave Wuhun City.

He didn't think the Spirit Hall would really let them leave; they would most likely create an accident to keep them there.

Therefore, in order to survive, Davis chose to escape from Wuhun City overnight.

"And what about you?" Nan Feng looked at Zhu Zhuyun, who was standing to the side with her head down.

"And what's going on with you?"

Zhu Zhuyun didn't speak; she couldn't utter a word.

"You've softened your heart?" Nan Feng asked.

"Have you forgotten how he tried to kill you before?"

Zhu Zhuyun and Hu Liena have gotten along quite well these past few months, and Zhu Zhuqing has also behaved reasonably well. Last month, when Zhu Zhuqing needed to obtain her first spirit ring and left Wuhun City, Hu Liena casually gave the two of them a pass.

Davis must have found out about this, which is why he decided to try to get his hands on Zhu Zhuyun.

"Elder Nanfeng, I am willing to die." Zhu Zhuyun lowered her head deeply.

"What do you mean by 'death'?" Nan Feng asked, puzzled, and handed the pass he had prepared earlier to Zhu Zhuyun.

Zhu Zhuyun was stunned as she looked at the special pass in her hand.

"I already said if you want to leave, go. I won't force you. I really don't know what you're all panicking about." Nan Feng shook his head and turned back to his large sofa.

The princes were merely a pretext for this exchange activity. The sole purpose was to allow Qian Renxue to stay in Wuhun City legitimately. As for the issue of reforming these people's thinking, it would be best if it succeeded, but it didn't matter if it didn't. He didn't expect to change their deeply ingrained beliefs in just a few months.

Ultimately, they are the beneficiaries.

The people most affected by what he said are those with vested interests; how could they possibly agree with it so easily?

"Go back and visit if you want, and come back when it's time," Nan Feng said.

"I give you two breaks a year, a summer vacation in July and a winter vacation in January, each lasting three months. You will only need to stay in Wuhun City for less than half a year. Moreover, you can study at Wuhun Academy during these six months, so your cultivation as a Soul Master will not be delayed."

"Anyway, Dai Tianfeng has already paid your tuition fees. It's 100,000 gold soul coins per person per year for studying abroad, including food, accommodation, teaching, safety, and soul rings. This is clearly stated in the announcement, so don't say I took the money and didn't do the job."

"By the way, Davis ran away on his own, you have to vouch for that for me. If something happened to him on the way, it's not my fault."

Zhu Zhuyun looked up, somewhat bewildered. "You...you really intend to let us go back?"

"If you don't want to leave, that's fine too. Anyway, I charge tuition on an annual basis. As long as you're in Wuhun City, I'll take care of everything," Nan Feng said.

"Including situations like the previous brief departure from Wuhun City to hunt for spirit rings, I will arrange for a dedicated escort to ensure your safety. I will even arrange escorts along your return journey to Xingluo. All of this is clearly stated in the agreement."

"In addition, the supplementary clauses also state that those who leave Wuhun City without permission or maliciously violate the rules of Wuhun Hall are not covered by the protection agreement."

"Didn't you see it?"

"..."

Zhu Zhuyun was stunned.

She thought that piece of junk was just a piece of waste paper!

After all, the people have been brought to the Spirit Hall's territory, so how exactly it's carried out is up to the Spirit Hall to decide.

"You guys..." Nan Feng shook his head.

"They just like to judge others by their own standards. In the eyes of a petty person, there are no gentlemen; in the eyes of a prostitute, there are no virtuous women. If your family runs a brothel, you think everyone in the world is a prostitute; if your family sells goods, you think everyone can sell themselves..."

"..."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuyun looked at Nan Feng, who was getting dirtier and dirtier with each curse, with strange expressions.

No, could you please be a little more restrained?

"However, I don't quite understand you." Nan Feng looked at Zhu Zhuyun.

Why did you help him?

Zhu Zhuyun lowered her head with a complicated expression. "I...I don't know."

"When you see Davis abandon his dignity in front of you, kneeling on the ground crying and apologizing for what happened before, swearing oaths, can't you bear it?" Nan Feng asked.

Zhu Zhuyun was taken aback. "How did you know?"

"Oh my! How would I know?" Nan Feng was speechless.

"I thought Davis might have something new to offer, but he's all the same!"

"Who doesn't follow this pattern after making a mistake?"

"Let me guess, you're thinking about his former high spirits, and comparing that to how he knelt before you without any dignity back then, and you feel sorry for him, right?"

Zhu Zhuyun nodded with a complicated expression, "Hmm..."

"You're so pathetic!" Nan Feng sat up.

"Do you think he was genuinely repenting back then? Or do you truly believe he regretted it? Or do you believe that if he had the chance to do it again, he definitely wouldn't repeat the same mistake?"

"Girl! How old are you? You're a little over thirteen, almost fourteen. How can you believe such nonsense?"

"Let me tell you, don't be fooled by his pitiful appearance as he knelt before you, weeping and wailing. Those tears weren't concealing his true feelings; they were masking the resentment buried deep within his heart!"

"Those confessions you heard—given the chance, he would repay you a thousandfold for the humiliation he felt!"

The harder he cries, the harsher he curses, and the more pitiful he acts, the deeper his resentment towards you will be!

"You think you've helped him? You think you've saved him? You think he'll be grateful to you?"

"You're wrong! Let me tell you, not only will he not be grateful to you, he'll resent you for the rest of his life! Because in his eyes, all the humiliation he suffered when he knelt and begged for forgiveness was brought on by you!"

"Your misplaced compassion will one day cruelly wound yourself!"
