Their lives are naturally more important!
"Speaking of which, Liang Ting, the White Owl, and Wu Gengsheng from the Quanxing sect were also involved in this matter..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin frowned and said, "The Quanxing is becoming more and more outrageous, actually doing this kind of thing! They're simply troublemakers!"
Isn't he just a troublemaker?
In other words, the directors within the Municipal Council checked and balanced each other. Even though they came from the same country, they each had their own agendas, and they all still had some sense of shame. If it were that tiny island, they could find a reason to "openly and legitimately" set foot on this land and carry out acts of burning, killing, and looting with a clear conscience.
"Isn't this what the Quanxing is all about? Acting and doing things solely according to their own whims."
It was at this moment.
A ship's horn sounded, and a ship over thirty-five meters long sailed in, interrupting their conversation.
Jiang Liu wiped the storage ring on his left index finger, took out two boat tickets, handed one to Lu Jin, and said, "Get on the boat."
The two boarded the boat.
The ticket inspector, seeing their simple clothes and Asian features, showed a hint of contempt in his eyes. But when he saw their tickets, he was startled and immediately shouted, "Hand over your tickets, you two thieves!"
"Thief?"
Lu Jin hadn't expected the ticket inspector to make such a false accusation, but not wanting to cause trouble, he simply took out two silver dollars from his pocket, handed them over, and said, "Sir, you may have misunderstood."
"Misunderstand?"
The ticket inspector put the money in his pocket, but still reached out to snatch the two people's tickets, saying, "There's no misunderstanding! You Asians simply can't afford boat tickets!"
Jiang Liu slapped away the other person's outstretched hand, hooked his foot around the other person's ankle, and gently pulled.
Snapped!
The man fell to the ground, crying out in pain.
"Brother Jiang, what's going on?" Lu Jin didn't understand why Jiang Liu suddenly made a move. Even if this person was deliberately looking for trouble, it wasn't a good thing to make things worse right now.
"The way we interact with foreigners is slightly different."
The words fell.
The rest of the crew rushed over after hearing the commotion and berated and insulted Jiang Liu and the others, demanding that they be driven off the ship.
Jiang Liu chuckled, walked to the railing, and gently pinched it, leaving a palm print about four centimeters deep.
Instantly!
The crew members all fell silent!
Even the security personnel who arrived later were startled by this scene, swallowing hard!
"Excuse me, are you magicians from the East?" Among the security personnel, a security captain with a gray beard, who looked to be around seventy years old, cautiously stepped forward to ask, speaking in fairly fluent Mandarin.
"Since you already know, why ask when you already know the answer?"
Jiang Liu flicked the ticket in his hand and said to the ticket inspector, whose eyes were darting around in fear, "Sir, I hope you can say it again, were our tickets stolen?"
"No...no!"
The ticket inspector quickly shook his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, it was my mistake! Please forgive my ignorance!"
The ticket inspector didn't know anything about magicians or alchemists, but he knew that someone who could leave a handprint on an iron railing was someone he couldn't afford to mess with.
The ship's most experienced security captain was remarkably respectful towards these two Asian men.
At least the firearms on the ship should not be able to threaten the two men.
Therefore, he had no choice but to back down.
“Since you’ve apologized, we’ll forgive you.” Under Lu Jin’s stunned gaze, Jiang Liu winked at him, then turned to the ticket inspector, “Now, could you please take us to our rest area?”
"Sure! It would be my honor!" The ticket inspector, now with an excuse, immediately put on a sincere smile, changing his expression even faster than the "chameleon."
Edward naturally booked first class for Jiang Liu and Lu Jin, with two rooms in total, each with a separate living room, kitchen, bathroom, and toilet.
"If you need anything, please let me know at any time, and I will come to serve you as soon as possible." The ticket inspector dared not be negligent in the slightest.
"I'll come to you if I need anything."
Upon hearing this...
The ticket inspector exited the first-class cabin, closed the door, and quickly left.
Once the footsteps were out of earshot, Lu Jin asked, "Brother Jiang, why did their attitude completely change after they learned who we are?"
Indeed.
People with superhuman abilities who wield power will warn ordinary people, especially when faced with someone who dares to display their strength in person, they will feel fear.
Generally speaking, ordinary people would run away or be cowardly out of fear of the power of superhumans. Even if they were to compromise, they would never show any respect.
"This is where foreigners differ from us."
Jiang Liu made a pointed remark and gave an example, "You're familiar with Bao Naide, right? What do you think of him?"
"He thinks our Confucian Association's ideas are very advanced, is willing to participate, yearns for world peace, and is a kind guy with lofty dreams..."
"And in terms of personality?"
Jiang Liu interrupted Lu Jin before Lu Jin could finish speaking, adding a prerequisite.
"As for personality—"
Lu Jin pondered for a long time and said, "He is enthusiastic, very friendly, and very confident. In meetings, he almost always expresses his opinions and speaks freely."
"That's the reason," Jiang Liu said with a smile.
"what?"
Lu Jin was completely dumbfounded.
"Enthusiastic, outspoken, and good at expressing opinions."
Jiang Liu held up three fingers. "In the East, we are rather reserved in this respect. There are formalities at dinner parties, and subordinates have to figure out the intentions of their superiors. It's all about interpersonal relationships, so much so that the relationship between extraordinary people and ordinary people is also 'reserved' to the point of being a little awkward."
Westerners also have their own social customs, but overall they follow the three points I mentioned above. Just like when they forcefully broke down the Qing Dynasty's gates, they acted like robbers, displaying their power with a tough stance to force others to submit!
While this doesn't mean they don't know how to hide their talents, there's no doubt that, viewed as a whole, Westerners are more like rutting males, constantly displaying their abilities and talents.
therefore.
When dealing with foreigners, we must also be firm in our attitude, otherwise they will only see us as bookish nerds who are easy to bully.
Pick the softest persimmon to squeeze.
Even we refined Han Chinese understand this principle, let alone Western robbers! They will only escalate their aggression! Therefore, we cannot treat them as we do in China, where we must retaliate in kind! And we must maintain a proper balance! After all, they also have their own line of defense!

"Is that so?"
Lu Jin was stunned, then suddenly a possibility occurred to her, "So, foreign superhumans can use their abilities at will?"
"There must be corresponding rules, which should be similar to the sects and families here, otherwise the world would be in chaos."
Jiang Liu shook his head. "But if you just demonstrate your abilities and show your tough attitude without actually hurting anyone, then people with power can naturally gain a certain degree of respect from ordinary people among the foreigners and avoid some unnecessary trouble."
The reason is simple.
Foreigners are people too. As long as they don't suffer any real loss, bowing their heads and making a statement won't affect their lives at all.
From this perspective, Easterners and Westerners are actually capable of empathizing with each other and uniting.
Long live the great unity of the people of the world!
That person's ideas are truly ahead of their time!
[It will never be out of style, even in ten thousand years!]
"So, do magicians and alchemists similar to the Quanxing Demons also exist in the West?" Lu Jin guessed.
"Didn't we encounter vampires in Renjia Town? In this respect, the West and the East are probably similar."
Thinking of this, Jiang Liu regained his composure and said to Lu Jin, "Whether it is the Qi cultivators on our side or the alchemists in the West, most of them have no other goal besides cultivation itself."
Those who follow the righteous path cultivate their minds and nature, eliminate greed, anger, and ignorance, tame their restless minds and guard their wandering thoughts, so as to achieve inner peace; while those who follow the righteous path allow themselves to be dominated by greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt, living in a daze and committing many outrageous acts without realizing it.
One man ascends the mountain to serve as a stable boy, while the other descends to become a demon.
That's the only difference.
Lu Jin was taken aback, then realized that it was indeed true.
The ways of dealing with extraordinary people from the Taoist and Buddhist schools are vastly different from those of the Quanxing school, but ultimately, they all boil down to the concept of "mind".
One type of person guards their restless mind and keeps their wandering thoughts in check, acting as a humble stable boy; the other type of person doesn't care about their restless mind or wandering thoughts, only seeking carefree pleasure and disregarding the lives of others.
"So, all that Wugensheng did was in vain."
Lu Jin had previously learned of Wugensheng's idea from Jiang Liu: "To divide people into four categories, believing that the Quanxing demons are a group who possess skills and know there should be a path, but don't know how to walk it..."
Perhaps there is indeed a small minority among them, but the vast majority are 'demons,' seeking only their own pleasure and completely disregarding the feelings of others...
That Wugensheng wants to be a 'saint'! He actually thinks about enlightening demons and guiding them through their confusion... Brother Jiang, will you change your opinion of the Quanxing demons?"
"I'm not a saint."
Jiang Liu shook his head. "At most, I'll give some of them who haven't done too much evil a chance to leave Quanxing. If they don't agree, then my task is to send them to the Western Paradise so that Buddha himself can 'educate' them. I can only teach people, but I don't have the ability to guide 'demons,' and I haven't reached that level yet."
This is the true word of a sage!
However, Lu Jin felt this way in her heart, and her admiration for Jiang Liu grew even stronger. She decided to learn from his attitude towards life.
Moreover, this attitude towards life does not conflict with the Lu family's precepts and rules, giving him a sense of mutual complementation!
A demon, since it has the word "demon" in its name, can't be considered human. Give them a chance to start over, and that's enough. If they don't cherish it, then there's no need to waste any more words.
One word:
kill!
As Lu Jin's conviction grew stronger, his spirit trembled slightly, and the state of his magnetic turbulence changed somewhat, affecting his eight extraordinary meridians. This allowed him to break free of his shackles, and the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts began to circulate spontaneously with his breath.
Lu Jin immediately seized the opportunity and located the liver, which was in addition to the kidneys, in the central palace.
