Chapter 181: Misunderstanding

……

"Elder Bone Douluo, thanks to you just now."

Leaving the Pope Palace, Gu Rong quickly took Ning Fengzhi and his group back to the rest area of the Heaven Dou team.

Until they disappeared from the sight of the Spirit Hall personnel, Yu Xiaogang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not thanks to me," Gu Rong gave a wry smile.

"If he really wanted to make a move just now, I wouldn't have been able to stop him."

Yu Xiaogang was stunned, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. "Even you aren't sure?"

"It's not just about not being sure; if he had made a move just now, I might not have been able to run," Gu Rong shook his head.

Nan Feng's cultivation progress is truly becoming more and more exaggerated. A while ago in Tiandou City, this guy didn't have such terrifying pressure.

"How is that possible? That guy is just a show-off; how could he..."

Yu Xiaogang lowered his head in a daze, muttering something to himself.

Seeing this scene, Ning Fengzhi shook his head and looked at Tang San. "The Master should have been frightened during this time; you take him to have a good rest."

"Thank you, Sect Master Ning, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for today," Tang San bowed to the few of them.

"Thank you, Crown Bone Douluo."

"It's nothing," Gu Rong waved his hand.

Today's matter was originally a play, a way out prepared by Nan Feng for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Xue Qinghe.

Tai Luo is the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and Tang San's talent, if nothing unexpected happens, will likely become the backbone of the Clear Sky Sect in the future.

Acting a play in front of these two people, showing that they are not really in the same boat as the Spirit Hall and Nan Feng, is both to prepare for tonight's meeting and to leave a way out.

Even if Nan Feng loses, they can change their allegiance, and with Tang San and the others as witnesses, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect won't be too embarrassed next.

Including the matter of the four single-attribute clans before, Nan Feng was actually preparing a way out for them. After all, Titan and the others are old people from the Clear Sky Sect. During the expansion of the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect protected them, so even if the situation reverses in the future, they won't become the target of public criticism.

To be honest, he always thought Nan Feng was a madman who disregarded everything and that mixing with him wouldn't have a good ending.

However, having walked to this step, they finally discovered that this guy Nan Feng, mad as he is, never implicates others.

Only the head needs to be life-and-death; the other parts can be changed.

While risking his own life, he still thinks about leaving a way for the people below. This heart...

"I am ashamed," Gu Rong sighed.

"It was I who used a villain's measure to judge a gentleman's heart."

"Fengzhi, you say, if something really goes wrong..."

"For this matter, we can only pray that he wins," Ning Fengzhi said.

"What if he loses?" Gu Rong asked.

"If he loses..." Ning Fengzhi sighed.

"Do our best."

……

Inside the Pope Palace.

Qian Renxue, who had just left with Ning Fengzhi's group, returned and blocked Nan Feng, who was about to return to the Saintess Hall.

"What problem do you have again?" Nan Feng asked doubtfully.

"I don't understand. You are willing to spend so much effort preparing a way out for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; why are you so harsh on me?" Qian Renxue asked.

Nan Feng was stunned. "Does this need a reason?"

"Doesn't it?" Qian Renxue asked.

"I don't think Ning Rongrong's relationship with you is very deep, and I can see that in your eyes, she is just a child. She is not even as important to you as Xiao Wu."

"However, why? Why do you think of ways to prepare a way out for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? I won't talk about myself, but what about Xiao Wu and the others? Have you considered their way out?"

"How do you know I haven't considered it?" Nan Feng asked back. "Then what about me?" Qian Renxue asked.

"You are forcing the Spirit Hall onto a dead end."

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Spirit Hall is in a state of being an enemy of the whole world.

Not to mention those sects outside, even the Spirit Hall's own people have many who have developed a heart of rebellion.

It's all because of Nan Feng!

This guy has been advocating for changing the current social system, and the price is the few privileges of the low-level spirit masters!

Low-level spirit masters, who originally belonged to the disadvantaged group in the spirit master world, once Nan Feng's policies are really implemented across the continent, they will be directly knocked down to the same status as the commoner class, taking away their little privileges as spirit masters. Guess what those people will do? Nan Feng did control the hearts of the people, but he did it at the cost of the Spirit Hall! At the cost of most of the spirit master class! "So I said very clearly, we are enemies," Nan Feng said helplessly.

"How many more times do you want me to say it?"

A long time ago, he told Qian Renxue that the conflict between them was not just about the Qian Xunji matter, but more about the Spirit Hall, or rather, the current social system where spirit masters are supreme.

Spirit masters cannot survive apart from the society of ordinary people; they are more like a group of parasites, not engaging in production, not promoting social progress. On the contrary, they are the greatest inhibitory force to the progress of the era.

Because the power of the spirit master class is almost innate, they don't need to use their brains; they only need to maintain their privileges through their own power, and they don't need to explore progress.

Fighting back and forth is nothing more than a few spirit master families fighting for ruling power there.

As long as an organization like the Spirit Hall that promotes the concept of spirit master supremacy exists, the Douluo Continent will always be in this state.

Because they are the ruling class, the vested interest group—how could they be willing to share their benefits with more people?

The commoner class does not have the power to resist the spirit master class. Once the Spirit Hall really wipes out all the spirit master sects outside, and all internal and external troubles disappear, he can hardly imagine what kind of dark era the Douluo Continent will enter next.

What the ruling class wants has never been progress, but stability.

He has told Qian Renxue all these things, but this girl acts as if she can't hear them.

"But you also said, 'The dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon,'" Qian Renxue said.

"Today's oppressor is also yesterday's oppressed, and today's oppressed, once the resistance succeeds, will inevitably become tomorrow's oppressor. This is a dead cycle that can never be broken."

"What you are doing will not make this world better."

"I know," Nan Feng said.

"I know that tomorrow's world will still be unbearable to look at, but at least it will be a little bit better than today's world."

"As for whether doing this is right or wrong, arguing is meaningless. If you oppose me, then you should make a move to kill me."

"This is the last time I will tell you about this. If you come to me to say this nonsense next time, I will assume you have chosen to challenge me."

"……"

"What good does this do for you?" Qian Renxue asked puzzledly.

"You toss and turn so much; what can you get?"

"The fact that you can ask this question proves that we are two completely different kinds of people," Nan Feng said.

"You care about what you can get; I care about what I have done."

"Including your attitude toward me—you are angry because you cannot possess, and besides that, nothing else."

Qian Renxue doesn't like him, and even hates him very much.

But she always shows an attitude that is easy to misunderstand.

Her entanglement with him is mainly out of unwillingness to accept defeat.

She wants to win, wants to obtain, wants to prove that she is better.

That's all.

It's just that her awkwardness led her to misunderstand herself.

But a misunderstanding is, after all, just a misunderstanding.
