She became a god

After a moment, Ye Qingzhou spoke, "The first point of view is the worst possible strategy. If we repay evil with good, how can we repay good? If we do not punish the traitors, where will the prestige of the Zhao Sect be? My original intention in proposing the establishment of the Zhao Sect was to build a ladder for women who want to climb the social ladder, not to be a blood bag for leeches."

"The second point can demonstrate the prestige of our religion and dispel the leeches' desire to take advantage. But there is one problem: we should not have unrealistic expectations of women during the formative years of our religion."

"In fact, both of these views hold unrealistic expectations of women's nature. The former thinks of women as too kind, weak and incompetent but pitiful. In fact, she has her own reasons, and all her evil deeds are forced upon her by external forces."

"The latter thinks too badly of women, using one incident to negate a woman's entire life—that's too stereotypical!"

Ye Qingzhou sighed, "In fact, women, like other living beings, act under the combined influence of their own will and the external environment. They are not so good, but they are not so bad either."

"You asked me how to deal with these traitors. My suggestion is to execute the ringleaders, make them pay for their crimes with their work, observe them secretly, and let their future treatment depend entirely on their own performance."

Su Mingzhu understood, "I will kill a few troublemakers as a warning to others, and then assign them some trivial and unimportant tasks, paying them only half the wages of ordinary residents, and order the secret police to monitor them."

"If they sincerely repent and behave well, they can receive the same treatment as ordinary residents. If they are not sincere in their repentance and are passive and slack off in their tasks, then we'll just have to wait it out until the day they have no choice but to change."

Ye Qingzhou clapped his hands and laughed, "This child is teachable!"

A short while later, as the sun set in the west, Su Mingzhu said, "Would I have the honor of dining with You Ye today?"

Ye Qingzhou's smile faded. "Zhao Sect is busy with affairs, so I won't keep you any longer."

Su Mingzhu asked, "In three months, it will be the Zhao Sect's once-every-ten-year performance review meeting. Will Right Envoy Ye be attending?"

After receiving Ye Qingzhou's affirmative reply, Su Mingzhu gracefully departed.

After a moment, Feng Rui said with certainty, "She loves you!"

Ye Qingzhou laughed and scolded, "You've watched too many plays. You want to pair up any two living beings you see? You're something else!"

Feng Wei said in a deep voice, "Although you and she only address each other by our titles, the way she looks at you is too obvious. It's always full of tenderness. She doesn't look at you like an ordinary living being, but rather like she's looking at the sun or the moon."

“I could see all of this in her eyes: deep respect and affection, and complete infatuation.”

"Furthermore, she is eloquent and worldly-wise, yet she is delusional enough to want to dine with you. She knows she shouldn't have said those words, but she still insists on saying them."

"After you rejected her, the light in her eyes went out immediately. But when you said you would attend the performance review meeting in three months, her eyes were filled with undisguised joy again."

Feng Wei couldn't help but sigh, "The emotions of young people are sincere and passionate, like a fire in the dark night, bright and warm, making it hard for onlookers to ignore."

Ye Qingzhou remained silent for a moment before saying, "I don't love her."

Because I don't love them, I firmly refuse, leaving no room for them to have any illusions or delusions.

Because of a lack of love, one must ignore it, denying the person the confidence and courage to continue pursuing love.

Feng Wei asked curiously, "Why would she love you? I've seen your admirers before, but a heart as passionate as hers is rare."

Ye Qingzhou then began by recounting how he had saved the boy under the moonlight, telling Feng Hui everything that had happened in the past.

After an incense stick had burned, Feng Wei sighed and said, "If I were her, I think I would also be unable to resist confessing my feelings to you."

Ye Qingzhou laughed and said, "So you're capable of love too?"

Having known each other for many years, Ye Qingzhou had never seen his friend Feng Rui with any close companions. It seemed that Feng Rui's heart was entirely devoted to cultivation and the research and development of torture devices.

A strong woman like this is destined to be single forever unless her elders arrange her marriage!

Feng Wei remained silent, only staring at Ye Qingzhou for a long time.

Ye Qingzhou chuckled, "I was just teasing you a little, why are you looking at me with such a terrifying gaze? You always tease and provoke me, but I've never looked at you with such a murderous look."

Feng Hui smiled, but her gaze remained fixed on Wen Xichun's face as she said gently, "Why do you think I want to eat you?"

Ye Qingzhou replied without hesitation, "Because that's the look I give the Golden Apple!"

Feng Hui laughed loudly, and when Ye Qingzhou asked again, she simply said, "It's time to eat."

That's strange. Didn't I always have to urge them to start eating before?

How come today, my role and Feng Ai's role have been reversed?

Ye Qingzhou was puzzled, but once the fragrant food was served, she had no time to think about it.

The sky is huge and the food is the biggest!

While Ye Qingzhou was living a carefree and unrestrained life at Mingyue Tower, Lu Jin'an was wandering and hiding everywhere.

When Lu Sinian saw the "Lu Jin'an" in front of him, he couldn't help but burst into tears. "Da Bao, you've suffered so much. Why didn't you tell me the real reason why you entered Xiao Leiyin Temple to cultivate Buddhism sooner?"

Lu Mingze said, "Uncle, some things are better known to as few people as possible."

Lu Sinian wiped away her tears, but the tears wouldn't stop. "You're a member of the Lu family, yet you've lost a body that contains the bloodline of time and space. Are you still a member of the Lu family?"

Lu Mingze laughed, "As long as the green hills remain, there's no worry about running out of firewood. Does Uncle really think his nephew's life isn't as important as his own flesh and blood?"

Lu Sinian stammered, "That's not what I meant. I just... the Lu clan of Yingdu has never before been forced to self-destruct. I just can't believe it..."

Lu Mingze glanced at his uncle, who was so naive that he seemed almost foolish, and sighed, "You said it yourself, that was the Lu family of Yingdu in the past. Now there are only three people in the Lu family of Yingdu, and Zhouzhou, the clan leader, is weaker than me. With such a powerful enemy in front of us, I have no choice but to endure."

Lu Sinian choked up and said, "It's all my uncle's fault for being incompetent and unable to protect you and Xiaobao."

A moment later, Lu Mingze, with tears in his eyes, swore, "Uncle, rest assured, one day I will help Zhouzhou restore the glory of our Yingdu Lu family. At that time, no one will be able to bully the three of us!"
