After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

"What are you doing!"

Nangong Ming walked over with a steamed bun in his hand, and before he got close, he popped one into his mouth.

"We're wondering what to do when you see He Wan tomorrow?" Xiao Ran pretended to be pondering, as if she was considering a difficult problem that was troubling her.

Nangong Ming choked a little, put the bun he was holding back into the oil paper package, and handed it to Xiao Ran.

"Why are you all thinking about this? This steamed bun smells much better than what you're thinking about!"

Xiao Ran didn't take it, but instead asked him, "So what do you plan to do?"

After pondering for a moment, Nangong Ming finally spoke hesitantly.

"How about we avoid this for now, and talk about it after I've thought it through..."

"I see..." Xiao Ran nodded and started walking towards the other end of the street, when suddenly she blurted out a sentence.

What did you think of that father and son just now?

Nangong Ming was taken aback, then recalled the father and son he had just seen performing on the street. Apart from a minor unpleasantness at the end, everything else was fine, and it had given him a good viewing experience.

"Very good. Putting aside their martial arts skills, their performance alone is enough to excite people. Otherwise, why would so many people give them money?"

At this point, Nangong Ming paused for a moment, then added, "Except for the fact that his son's personality seems a bit strange..."

"Then if, I mean if..." Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, trying her best to organize the words she wanted to say.

"If you were the youngest son, and someone wanted to harm your father, what would you do?"

Nangong Ming seemed stumped by this question.

What do you mean by "if he were the youngest son"? He was the heir apparent, so how could anyone harm his father or even his family?

But what if he were a powerless commoner...?

"I will not let anyone hurt my father!" Nangong Ming replied firmly. "Even if I become that kind of person, I will not let anyone destroy my family, even if it costs me my life!"

Xiao Ran didn't ask him any more questions, but a slow smile appeared on her lips.

But Duan Li, standing beside Xiao Ran, noticed a hint of helplessness in that smile.

She was naturally helpless, and even felt a little bitter.

In his previous life, Nangong Ming's family was destroyed by He Wan, and he was eventually exiled to the frontier, where his entire family was executed.

But as Xiao Ran said, how could a powerless commoner avenge his family?

"Then you'd better think about it carefully."

"What are you thinking about?" Nangong Ming scratched his head, not understanding Xiao Ran's meaning.

Xiao Ran didn't reply to him again, but went straight to the stall to look at the goods.

It was that feeling again. Nangong Ming looked at the girl haggling with the vendor...

A maturity beyond one's years.

"Make way, make way! Routine inspection."

Suddenly a soldier pushed him away, forcing him to break his train of thought.

"This is..." He was a little confused, but a large group of people suddenly rushed up and answered his question.

"Another routine inspection? The common people are going to suffer." Nangong Ming turned around and saw a woman who was eating sunflower seeds while saying this, with a look of disdain on her face.

Beside the woman was another woman of similar age, who chimed in, "That's right, we ordinary folks just run small businesses, yet they charge us inspection fees for even this. Why don't they just collect it from the shops themselves? They're just bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"

The woman nodded noncommittally.
