Watching Xu Tianran's figure slowly disappear.
"Commander, why not kill him! This is such a good opportunity to pave the way for His Highness the Prince."
"A trusted confidant said softly."
"He's not worthy of my hands..."
Huo Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.
He gently played with the soul-guided dagger in his hand.
If it were before, she might have considered using her own life to pave the way for the young master.
But Xu Cheng's arrival was undoubtedly a shot in the arm.
She has the potential to break through to the ninth level of Soul Master in the future. If she were to perish here, it would be the greatest loss for the young master...
……
The other side.
In a small town on the border.
Xu Cheng looked at the girl wandering the streets, dressed in tattered clothes, her fair skin still visible despite her filth, and his lips twitched.
"Say your name again!"
The girl looked at Xu Cheng pitifully, curling up into a ball.
"tangerine……"
Chapter 41: The powerful and wealthy force the world to kneel with their worldly authority and empty fame; the Holy Spirit Church makes you stand up.
You said your name is Orange?
Xu Cheng crouched down and looked at the timid little girl.
"Yes……"
The little girl curled up her thin body, hugged her legs, buried her forehead in her arms, and whispered softly.
He's almost skin and bones.
But considering this girl's martial soul: orange, of course she's thin. She's been homeless and can only eat oranges for three meals a day.
If this girl's martial spirit were a chicken leg, she wouldn't be this thin.
Xu Cheng thought to himself.
"Where are your parents?"
Thinking about it, he continued to ask.
Sensing that Xu Cheng meant no harm, Orange's reaction was no longer as frightened as a rabbit's; instead, she calmed down considerably.
“My father went to the front lines and died at the hands of the Star Luo people. After the news came back, my mother and I depended on each other for survival, but just last month, my mother also…”
At this point, the girl's eyes filled with tears.
Xu Cheng nodded secretly.
He could see that a seed of revenge had taken deep root in the girl's heart, and with the nourishment of time, it would eventually grow into a towering tree.
This belief will support her all the way.
"The Star Luo Empire, huh? Do you know who the culprit was who killed your parents?" Xu Cheng's face lit up with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Nana glanced sideways; that familiar scent was back.
The deceptive and honest are online...
"Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger! It was his army that killed my father! My family was originally harmonious and happy, but he destroyed everything!"
The girl wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with hatred.
“Indeed, logically speaking, Dai Hao’s army killed your father, and your mother died of grief as a result. If it were me, my first target for revenge would also be Dai Hao, but…”
Xu Cheng gazed calmly at the girl.
"Dai Hao really killed your father?"
The girl was stunned.
She raised her head, and her bright, large eyes met Xu Cheng's gaze.
Xu Cheng wore a faint smile.
"If I were to say it, it was war that killed your parents..."
"war?"
The girl parted her red lips slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
Xu Cheng understood.
Clearly, the girl is still just a young girl who has just lost her parents and is blinded by hatred. She is around eleven years old, and her values are still being formed, like a piece of uncarved jade...
That's great, it makes it even easier to fool people.
"To be more precise, it was a war launched by the aristocratic ruling class."
Xu Cheng sighed softly.
"Then let me ask you again, what is the essence of war?"
"It is about domination and plunder."
Before the girl could answer, Xu Cheng explained.
"This is a game between nations. In the end, regardless of who wins or loses, it will affect tens of thousands of ordinary people. The so-called victory is nothing more than which kingdom gains final rule. In my opinion, saying that my father died at Dai Hao's hands is more accurate than saying that he died under the rule of the monarchy, in a war waged for the sake of interests..."
"..."
The girl was silent.
Xu Cheng's words conflicted considerably with her previous understanding.
"Do you want revenge?"
Xu Cheng looked at the girl with a smile and suddenly blurted out a sentence.
"You want revenge on Dai Hao, and what I'm saying is not to stop you, but to help you find out who the real murderer is who killed your parents and took away your happy family..."
"The powerful and wealthy force people to kneel with their worldly authority and empty fame, but the Holy Spirit teaches you to stand up."
"Young lady, would you like to join the Holy Spirit Cult?"
"..."
Looking at Xu Cheng's outstretched hand.
Something buried deep within Orange's heart seemed to be slowly awakened.
The figure of Xu Cheng before her grew ever taller in her heart...
Wait, the Holy Spirit Cult!
Orange fell into deep thought.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is the Holy Spirit Cult you're referring to the one that the nobles have slandered as evil spirit masters, but which is actually a folk organization dedicated to overthrowing all noble rule and advocating equality and equal rights?"
Xu Cheng: “…”
Holy crap, that's how fast it spreads!
But he nodded in satisfaction immediately.
"I'm willing to join!"
From that moment on, light shone in the girl's eyes.
……
Eat less, don't choke.
Inside the restaurant.
Looking at the oranges in front of her, which were being wolfed down and chewed like hamsters with their mouths full of food, Nana felt a sense of sympathy for them.
Orphans, who isn't an orphan?
She was all too familiar with the feeling of losing both her parents...
"Thank you sister."
Orange expressed her gratitude.
“I…” Nana opened her mouth.
She is tall, but she may not be as old as this girl.
"Alright, Orange, what are your plans next?"
Xu Cheng picked up the conversation.
