She became a god

Chapter 396 Firmly Disagree

"Just because we're both women!"

After shouting those words, Ji Cunxi looked at his youngest disciple with disappointment, "Mingzhu, you also come from a poor background, so why can you ignore the suffering of your women?"

Su Mingzhu said calmly, "Teacher, you are wrong. It is not that I choose to ignore their suffering, but that they choose to ignore their own suffering."

Ji Cunxi said angrily, "Their ignorance should not be a reason for your indifference."

"Teacher, I only gave the limited resources to women who were in more pain and desperately wanted to change their situation. How is that considered indifference?"

"You're still making excuses! Resources may be limited, but you could have saved every woman trapped in this mess. Yet, in pursuit of political achievements, you only saved a portion of the women. How can you face your conscience?"

“I’m worthy of it. Teacher, their suffering wasn’t caused by me. What have I done to wrong them? You think I’m doing this for political achievements, but I’m just following the teachings. Some women don’t even think about climbing the social ladder, while others desperately want to. I just want to help ambitious women achieve their goals.”

Ji Cunxi rebuked her, "But do women without ambition deserve to die?"

“I never said they deserved to die. Besides, if they really are on the verge of death, they will definitely try to climb the ranks, and it won’t be too late for me to help them then.”

After a pause, Su Mingzhu continued, "If a woman is about to die and doesn't want to climb the social ladder, doesn't want to change, and still hopes that a man will suddenly change for the better, then she's not worth my resources to save. They don't care about their own lives, so why should I care?"

"Su Mingzhu, who is she? Who turned you into this selfish and self-serving person?"

"It's a woman!"

Ji Cunxi was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "Now that things have come to this, you still want to blame those innocent and pitiful women?"

Su Mingzhu sneered, "They may be pitiful, but they may not be innocent! Being born into a patriarchal country is pitiful, but supporting the rule of a patriarchal country and turning the harm and pain they received from men into attacks and humiliations against other women, can they still be considered innocent?"

"Teacher, please stop saying this is all a problem of education and environment. They are human beings, not puppets of men! They could have changed and rebelled, but they have never done so, not even once."

"When I led the people of the Zhao Sect to rescue the innocent and pitiful women you mentioned, a small number of women were willing to join us, but many women were unwilling to join us. Some even betrayed us, taking advantage of our goodwill to secretly pass messages to the male-dominated country."

"Their plight was not caused by the religion, but their love for men and hatred for women has brought losses to the religion."

"As the administrator of the Zhaojiao (a religious organization), I believe I have neither the obligation nor the prerogative to tolerate them. Anyone who betrays the interests of women must be punished accordingly!"

……

Ji Cunxi took a deep breath. "Mingzhu, you're being too extreme. Those women already have it tough enough. You should educate them, not shut them out."

Su Mingzhu said calmly, "If you are willing, you don't need to be taught; if you are not willing, it's a waste of time to teach you no matter how many times you teach you."

"Men in patriarchal countries exploit and oppress women. If we, the women of matriarchal countries, also abandon them, then we must utterly destroy them! Mingzhu, you are too cruel!"

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher. Of course I'm ruthless. If I weren't, I wouldn't be alive today. I really don't understand why those women, who live such miserable lives and suffer so much inhuman abuse, still can't bring themselves to take revenge on the men who hurt them. Is it that women are born unable to be ruthless? But I see them being quite ruthless when they deal with other women."

Ji Cunxi felt a headache coming on and shouted, "Su Mingzhu, will you never be able to change your selfish and self-serving ideas?"

Su Mingzhu said, "I have always strictly followed the teachings of the Zhaojiao sect. If this is considered selfishness in the teacher's eyes, then I have nothing to say."

"Good! Well, you've truly adhered to the doctrines of the Zhao religion! Then I'll change those doctrines!"

Su Mingzhu was taken aback. "Teacher, you have no right to change the doctrine."

Ji Cunxi said, "If I can get the higher-ups to approve my proposal, how can it not be changed?"

West Continent, Underworld.

Meng Jing glanced through the documents briefly, then picked up her red pen to write a rebuttal.

Since its establishment, the Zhao religion has consumed countless resources. In recent years, it has finally managed to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and its achievements and merits have increased.

Ji Cunxi actually demanded changes to the doctrines and new policies. This is not about changing the doctrines; it's clearly about crippling the finances of the Underworld!

None of these new policies are profitable; they all require money and resources.

Even if the underworld is rich, it shouldn't waste money like this.

Although the merits and good fortune brought by the Zhao religion are considerable, it is not worth increasing their investment to that extent.

Meng Jing finished writing her rebuttal and was about to send it back when Meng Jin stopped her.

"Xiao Jing, things are different now. For Mu Sha's sake, don't get involved in this matter."

Meng Jing said, "Ancestor, Master is currently leading the army to fight against the alien race from outer space, and the military supplies required are enormous. If we agree to Ji Cunxi's request for the sake of Senior Mu, we will have to invest countless resources. What will we do when the battle on the front lines becomes critical?"

“Xiao Jing, it is precisely because of the war on the front lines that we have to take a step back. The Underworld must not be attacked from both sides at this time. As for the supplies you are worried about, I only told you not to worry about it, not that I told you to agree to her request.”

"Forgive my ignorance, but I humbly request our ancestors to enlighten me."

"The Zhao Sect was established jointly by the Demon Realm and the Underworld. You should reply to Ji Cunxi and tell him that whatever the Demon Realm does, the Underworld will do the same."

Meng Jing understood that her ancestor was using someone else's strength against them, but she couldn't help but worry, "If the demon realm agrees, are we really going to have to invest as well?"

Meng Jin said with certainty, "The demon realm will not agree. After the underworld, the demon realm will lead the six-realm allied forces. For the sake of the war three hundred years from now, no matter how rich and powerful the demon realm is, it will not agree."

"Moreover, the situation in the demon realm is more complicated than in our underworld. If we agree to Ji Cunxi's request, then the tax laws of the demon realm will inevitably have to be changed. But in the demon realm, it has always been easier to reduce taxes than to increase them."

As a result, the Phoenix Clan also received a proposal from Ji Cunxi.

"Impossible! I absolutely disagree!"
