Chapter 172 172. The token of love makes the nephew jealous and the uncle loves spring, and the bones are piled up in the rich house! (asking for monthly tickets)

Ning Mu shook his head and sighed.

The ultimate state of spiritual practice is the state of freedom.

But can this world really achieve freedom?
If it is only the freedom of one person, how can one claim to be free!

"Those country gentlemen are the ones who have committed many evil deeds and plundered people by trickery!"

Wei Youqing reacted.

"As long as we kill those evil gentry, won't this matter be easily resolved?"

Wei Youqing stared at Ning Mu and spoke righteously.

Ning Mu couldn't help but smile mysteriously, but didn't respond. Instead, he put his hands behind his back and followed the team forward.

"What, am I right?"

Wei Youqing hurriedly chased after him, as if to get to the bottom of the matter.

Ning Mu stopped, turned his head and looked at Wei Youqing who looked dissatisfied, sighed and said: "Do you really want to know?"

Wei Youqing was stunned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded firmly.

"I want to! Please teach me, Village Master Ning!"

Ning Mu raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "Wei Jijiu, think carefully, what else should the people of this world support besides the royal family?"

"Except for the royal family... from what I know, the three kingdoms of Qi, Zhou and Chu only have their own holy places!"

Wei Youqing blinked blankly, thought carefully for a moment, and stood there muttering.

Suddenly.

Wei Youqing raised his head and stared at Ning Mu, his eyes filled with disbelief, and said in shock: "Master Ning, are you saying that it is the three holy places that have caused the people of this world to suffer so much?"

Ning Mu did not give a direct answer.

He just smiled and said, "The disciples of the three holy places are all outstanding. Ordinary people, even if they have enough talent, will suffer from having no way to join the holy places and show their talents."

"The path of cultivation in this academy will gradually evolve into a network of relationships among the powerful and wealthy."

"The powerful class mentioned here does not only refer to the rich and powerful. People like you, Pi Yalu, and the young master of the Qi family today may not have official positions, but as long as you join the Holy Land, think back and think about it. Have your family's wealth, status, reputation, and so on become more powerful than before, or even several times higher?"

"Under the three holy places, there is a huge room made of countless bones!"

Ning Mu shook his head and sighed.

Hearing this, Wei Youqing looked thoughtful.

This is not true.

The Wei family she belongs to was once just a small, unknown family in Langya Prefecture.

But since she entered the holy land, the Wei family has developed by leaps and bounds.

Although she has always warned her father not to be too high-profile, sometimes there are certain people and certain things that cannot be refused.

Naturally, it became the flame that was set up, rising higher and higher.

Today, the Wei family has become one of the top families in Langya Prefecture.

My father even took several concubines to carry on the family line. My mother was not jealous at all, but was very supportive of it.

But because of her, my mother's position as the principal wife is unshakable.

This is the power of the students from the Holy Land.

This is just because she has never taken the initiative to ask for any benefits for the family.

What about the family forces behind those geniuses in the academy, those who are obsessed with scheming, or those who hold important positions in the academy such as the academician and the chief academic officer?

In other words.

No matter how poor the family is, as long as they can join the academy.

That basically announced that a new giant would rise quickly.

There are only so many resources in total.

With more and more wealthy families, where can they get nutrients to strengthen themselves?

Without him.

Only the common people’s ears!
After all, they are a group of taciturn, weak and powerless people with little ability to resist.

But it is precisely they who can support the wealthy family.

Wei Youqing seemed to understand something.

But after understanding all this, she could only respond with a wry smile.

There was nothing she could do.

After all, she herself was from a wealthy family who was superior to the rest of the world. Although she had never taken the initiative to bully any common people, her status and position were there, and there were always people who directly or indirectly allowed her to enjoy all the privileges.

No need to farm, no need to work, no need to worry about wind and sun, no need to worry about not having enough food.

I’m afraid the Wei family’s granary can no longer hold any more grain.

Under the general trend, she and the Wei family were helpless.

"They are callous and stand above the world, yet they still talk freely and teach the people, not knowing that the root cause is that their pleasure and games will consume the life's efforts of countless people!"

"The common people of this world have suffered for so long from the wealthy!"

Ning Mu sighed, his brows filled with anger.

In life, we always need to do something meaningful.

It is undeniable that he is lustful by nature and desires to keep all the beautiful women in his palace.

But at the same time, after getting enough satisfaction, he also hopes that this world can be clearer, hopes that the victims will not starve to death, and hopes that people who are struggling to live at the bottom of society will not have to spend the rest of their lives just for a bite to eat.

He is not a saint.

It's just that he was deeply influenced by modern ideas and couldn't stand the unfairness of the world.

Although there is no way to subvert or even change anything.

But it is enough to help as many people as possible within your ability, and even influence them!

boom!
The common people of this world have suffered from the wealthy for a long time!
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Wei Youqing's head, making her face pale and her eyes filled with panic.

The world has become so turbid.

The Master, who lives high up in Houji Mountain, does he know all this?

Wei Youqing couldn't help but think of his mentor.

But then she shook her head and smiled bitterly.

With your ability as a mentor, you must know this.

But if even his mentor is not willing to change, it means that this matter is extremely difficult to change, so difficult that even he, the master and head of the holy land, is helpless.

"Thank you, Mr. Ning, for clearing up my doubts. I am grateful for your guidance!"

Wei Youqing clasped his fists and bowed bitterly.

The world is like this, and she alone cannot change anything, not to mention that she herself is among these wealthy families.

Should I let her shout and beat me down?

Having sympathy and doing what you can for the victims is already kind!
Ning Mu shrugged and said, "It's not to say that I'm solving my doubts, I'm just chatting casually out of boredom, Wei Jijiu, don't take it too seriously, I don't want to go to the academy, not just for this reason, but more importantly, I prefer freedom and I like women more, so, you know."

Ning Mu chuckled and winked at Wei Youqing.

Wei Youqing was startled, then his face turned red and his eyes flickered.

This man was serious for a while, and suddenly he became so wanton again.

It's really hard to react.

However, she couldn't help but think of the important matter of this trip.

Wei Youqing tightened the 'token' wrapped in cloth in his sleeve pocket, and his heartbeat quickened slightly. He looked around nervously, feeling as if he were a guilty thief.

And at the same time.

Qi Yulou and Piyalu, who were standing under the big tree in the distance, had different expressions on their faces.

'How dare he!'

When he saw Ning Mu openly putting his arm around Wei Youqing, the fairy in the eyes of countless male disciples in the academy, the disciple of the Master, and the youngest female chief priest of the Jixia Academy, he was immediately furious.

Ever since he entered the imperial palace, he has been attracted by Wei Youqing's talent and beauty.

For so many years, he has been silently guarding by her side.

Apart from the master-disciple relationship, the two can almost be said to be a perfect match in terms of family background and status.

Even Li Xiuyuan, the chief academic officer of the Jixia Academy, one of the Master's disciples, his own teacher, and Wei Youqing's senior brother, had tried many times, both openly and secretly, to bring the two together.

But to him, Wei Youqing was like the bright moon, which he could only admire from afar and not dare to blaspheme in the slightest.

Therefore, this love has always been hidden deep in his heart.

But during their years together, he had always maintained gentlemanly manners. Not to mention such an intimate embrace of her shoulders and back, he had never even touched her sleeves!
It's better now.

But it was a bargain for nothing for that damn bastard Ning Mu!

How dare he blaspheme the Confucian fairy like this?
He is just a small gang leader, is he worthy of it?

Qi Yulou was so angry that he was about to jump down and beat Ning Mu up.

but.

Piyalu's seemingly self-talking words restored some of his sanity in time.

"Brother Ning, Brother Ning, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Junior Master?"

Pi Yalu's seemingly self-talking words fell into Qi Yulou's ears, and doubt flashed in his eyes.

Have they known each other for a long time?

Recalling Junior Master's attitude towards Ning Mu at the village gate before, and looking at the two of them now arm in arm at the foot of the mountain, and then Junior Master chasing after Ning Mu, talking about something, Qi Yulou frowned tightly, and his clenched fists loosened a little.

Look again!
Maybe we really have known each other for a long time, and there is some relationship between us that I am not aware of.

But no matter what, Ning Mu has desecrated the fairy in his heart. This crime has been committed and must not be forgiven!

But what happened next made him unable to stand any longer.

Wei Youqing said something to Ning Mu, and then her face flushed, she took something out of her sleeve pocket and handed it to Ning Mu.

then.

In full view.

Wei Youqing, the chief academic officer of the academy and a student of the master, actually stood on tiptoe and gave Ning Mu a light kiss on the face, then ran away shyly.

That look.

She is just like a young girl in love, exactly the same!

Wei Jijiu actually fell in love with Ning Mu?

The shock in Qi Yulou's heart far exceeded his anger!
What's good about him?
He is just the owner of a small mountain village, with a few hundred disaster victims under his command. Even if the huge Qi State cannot find a million of such a small figure, there must be tens of thousands of him.

Just an ordinary person among the ordinary people.

Wei Youqing is the chief priest and has an extremely noble status. How could she fall in love with him?

Piyalu was also stunned.

The chief academic officer of the academy, the master's disciple, and junior uncle Wei Youqing, would actually take the initiative to kiss Brother Ning.

This was completely beyond her expectations.

Seeing Qi Yulou was stunned at first, and then his eyes turned red and he was furious, she looked helpless, and couldn't help complaining in her heart: Brother Ning, Brother Ning, it's not that I don't want to hide it from you, but I don't know how to hide it either. Alas, you can only wish you good luck!

There was something strange in Piyalu's eyes, and there was even a hint of sadness in her heart.

It’s hard to say whether it’s a blessing or a curse.

Although he was being targeted by Qi Yulou.

But at least, he got the favor of Wei Youqing, the master's disciple!

Although the Qi family was powerful, they did not dare to openly challenge the Jixia Academy.

However, whether the academy would protect Ning Mu after the Qi family’s rebellion because of Wei Youqing remains to be discussed.

……

"Mr. Ning, this is for you!"

When the victims came up the mountain one after another under the protection of Wang Dalong and other patrol members, and there was no one around, Wei Youqing nervously took out the "token" from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Ning Mu with both hands, his face instantly turned red.

"What is this?" Ning Mu pretended not to know. He took it with curiosity and was about to open the cloth bag.

"and many more!"

Wei Youqing's heart suddenly tightened and he hurriedly stopped Ning Mu's actions.

Ning Mu looked at her suspiciously.

Wei Youqing looked a little embarrassed, and before he could say anything, Ning Mu spoke first.

"Or is it the same as the love poem last time, open it when no one is around?" Ning Mu teased.

Wei Youqing was stunned. He didn't expect Ning Mu to bring up this.

But it was exactly what she wanted, so it saved her a lot of embarrassment. She immediately nodded with a red face and a shy look in her eyes.

Seeing Wei Youqing's expression, Ning Mu couldn't help but smile slightly, and then continued to tease: "Does Wei Jijiu really like me, or is there some compelling reason? You don't want me to indulge in your gentleness, and then ask me to follow you to the palace, right?"

"Why would you think so, my dear?"

Wei Youqing's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly became nervous, thinking that Ning Mu knew about the existence of the system.

However, when she heard the following words, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Then, she hesitated for a moment, not knowing where she got the courage from, she suddenly stood on tiptoe, closed her shy eyes, and left a lip print on Ning Mu's face.

"My dear, please do not doubt my sincerity. Your heart is as vast as the sea and the sky, and your love is great. Although I am not talented, I am honored to be the chief priest, but I cannot make promises to the people. I admire your courage and determination. As for the matter of entering the palace, everything will be up to fate. I will wait for the day when you change your mind, or..."

Wei Youqing's face was red, and his eyes were sparkling and erratic.

Having said this, she narrowed her eyes, lowered her head shyly, and did not say anything else.

Instead, she secretly glanced at Ning Mu, then couldn't help feeling shy and ran away quickly.

As for the unspoken words, I'm afraid only she herself knows what they are.

Looking at the slender figure of the academy's chief academic officer, Ning Mu couldn't help but smile, with warmth still on his face, but the embroidered cloth bag in his hand attracted his attention even more.

He looked at Wei Youqing who had already run away in the distance, but was still looking back at him as if reluctant to leave.

Ning Mu smiled, then lowered his head and uncovered the cloth bag layer by layer.

Not long after.

The true face of Lushan was revealed.

It was a palm-sized, emerald green tube top, light and thin, with two small fish embroidered on it.

Tsk!
Ning Mu couldn't help but let out a light sigh, with a hint of smile in his eyes, and he was very satisfied.

Wei Youqing, who had been watching him silently from a distance, couldn't help but run away with a hot face after seeing Ning Mu's expression.

Just like a young girl in love, shy and affectionate.

This annoying task is finally completed!

[Hint: Congratulations to the host, you have completed option 700 of task 70, and are rewarded with practice points, companion points, and an additional 'Silk Lace Shaped Abdomen'! ]

[Reminder: Congratulations to the host, Wei Youqing, the owner of subsystem No. 100, for completing mission one and giving back to the host the mission reward. He received 5 cultivation points and Wei Youqing's loyalty value increased by %! ]

[Hint: The current loyalty value of subsystem No. 27 Wei Youqing is %! ]

Looking at the prompts flashing on the system interface, Wei Youqing left contentedly.

She was so overjoyed and tender that she forgot about Qi Yulou and Pi Yalu who came with her.

She didn't notice that as she left, Qi Yulou, who was on the huge rock under the tree, had become so angry that he lost his mind!

Ning Mu!

Take your life!
Qi Yulou clenched his fists and was about to jump down to fight to the death with Ning Mu.

But this time.

Piyalu behind him suddenly called him.

"Senior Brother Qi, be careful!"

"Since Wei Jijiu has done this, he must have someone in his heart. If you act rashly, I'm afraid that Uncle Jijiu will be even more unhappy!"

Piyalu frowned and spoke quickly, hoping to calm Qi Yulou's anger.

But I don’t know.

The four words "I have someone I love" were like oil, instantly igniting the anger in Qi Yulou's heart.
