The End of Dharma 40K: My Evil God Wife Feeds Me to Prove My Emperorship
Chapter 19 Conflict
"Auntie!" Li Mingyu called out from afar.
The aunt's sorrowful face froze for a moment, then she turned to look at her, tears welling up in her eyes:
"Xiaoyu!"
He then immediately got up and ran towards Li Mingyu:
"Xiaoyu, are you alright! Let Auntie check if you're hurt anywhere..."
"It's okay, Auntie, I'm fine. Look, I'm perfectly fine, I just lost my ID..."
My aunt is only 1.65 meters tall, and she looks like a dwarf next to Li Mingyu, who is 1.95 meters tall.
She held Li Mingyu's arm with one hand and wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes with the other:
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. Our Xiaoyu has grown taller again. Sigh, where did you find these clothes? They're so dirty, and they're all too short. I'll sew you some clothes that fit when we get to the city."
In the center of the crowd, a middle-aged man dressed as a flight attendant noticed Li Mingyu. He stopped his words of reassuring the crowd and walked over to ask:
"Little friend, are you hurt?"
The flight attendant herself is over 1.9 meters tall, and the reason she calls Li Mingyu "little kid" is mainly because Li Mingyu looks young.
As for Li Mingyu's physique, it cannot be ruled out that some people are naturally larger.
Because Li Mingyu arrived late, her exposed skin showed no signs of injury, only some bloodstains on her dirty clothes, so she naturally attracted the attention of the flight attendant.
"I'm not injured, I was just unconscious for a while. After I woke up... I was a little scared of dead people, so I didn't dare to walk over from that side..." Li Mingyu knew that the other party suspected that there was something wrong with him, so he explained in advance.
Throughout the conversation, Li Mingyu repeatedly emphasized that he was very scared, and at one point he also appropriately showed some feigned calmness and "fear" to appear harmless.
"Oh. I see. This explosion was clearly deliberate and of a serious nature. The Gudu Immortal Palace will send people to handle it later. We need to gather clues and make statistics in advance..." The middle-aged man continued to ask some routine questions.
Li Mingyu only gave perfunctory answers, glossing over most questions with "I don't know" or "I've never seen it before," but his attitude was sincere.
"It's alright, little friend. Wait here for a while, the Immortal Palace will send someone to help you."
After completing the inquiry, the middle-aged man returned to the crowd and continued to comfort the surviving passengers along with several flight attendants.
During the flight attendants' conversation, one could vaguely hear that some of the dead and injured passengers were the breadwinners of their families. With their deaths in this accident, their remaining family members could not escape the fate of being reduced to mortals and ultimately sacrificed...
Amid the restless and anxious crowd, the flight attendant spoke up, saying that the incident was strange, the location was very close to Gudu City, and the Immortal Palace had been notified by telegraph, and the Immortal Palace would soon send people to investigate...
Healthy passengers can proceed to Gudu first, while injured passengers can remain where they are and wait for the Immortal Palace to send a medical team.
……
Wei Kun: "Speaking of which, when did Little Li become so good at lying? Hey, Little Chenzi, was Little Li lying to you just now too?"
Wang Chen: "Why would you lie to me? Didn't you say Mingyu could help me solve the problem?"
Wei Kun: "At that time, I was thinking he was already dead."
Wang Chen was speechless: "Uh. How could anyone be interested in someone as heartless as you?"
Wei Kun: "Didn't your childhood sweetheart run off with someone else? I have a girlfriend, she..."
Wei Kun couldn't recall his girlfriend's name for a moment, and even some memories were hazy.
Wang Chen: "Her? What happened to her?"
Wei Kun: "Hiss, what's her name again...?"
Wang Chen: "Uh. I suspect you don't even have a girlfriend."
Wei Kun retorted, "Little Li, do you remember when I asked you to help me find a girlfriend?"
Li Mingyu: "I don't recall. Is that true?"
Wei Kun felt like he'd forgotten something: "I feel like I have one, but I also feel like I don't... Wait, do I really have a girlfriend?"
Li Mingyu also felt a sense of unease.
Wei Kun doesn't remember his girlfriend's name...
"What is my wife's name...? I don't think I can remember..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as she's real, she's my wife, that's enough."
"As for Wei Kun saying his girlfriend is lost, I have absolutely no recollection of that..."
What is the relationship between Wei Kun's girlfriend and his wife?
"Perhaps Wei Kun has misremembered; his girlfriend doesn't even exist."
Li Mingyu felt as if he had forgotten many minor details, but then he thought that none of them mattered. He belonged to his wife, and that was indisputable.
……
"Auntie, the money isn't lost, is it?" Li Mingyu asked.
"It's not lost, and the banknotes are still in the bag." The aunt patted the bag in her arms.
This time, I left Fengzhou to escape for my life, so I didn't bring much luggage, mostly just money.
"Let's go, Auntie, let's get away from here first."
"Okay." The aunt didn't ask any more questions.
Li Mingyu led his aunt towards Gudu. At this distance, the outline of Gudu city could already be vaguely seen.
He doesn't plan to stay.
Whether it's the Celestial Palace or the Medical Association, their aid to refugees is not unconditional; they often take the opportunity to exploit the refugees. Flight attendants and chief flight attendants, holding official positions, tend to side with the Celestial Palace.
He was at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, and he also had to take care of his aunt who was at the first level of the Qi Refining Realm. His funds were already very limited, and he couldn't afford to lose face with the changing attitudes of some of the immortal officials in the Immortal Palace. It would be better for him to go to the gate of Gudu City to find another way.
Currently, there are seven Immortal Palaces in the local cities of the Immortal Dynasty, which are divided according to their functions as follows:
The Prefectural Hall, the Town Hall, the Finance Hall, the Commerce Hall, the Ritual and Sacrifice Hall, the Literary Hall, and the Construction Hall.
The seven palace masters of the Seven Immortal Palaces are under the command of the Governor's Office, with the Governor sitting in the first seat.
From the main halls downwards, various administrative offices for different districts extend out in sequence, and from these administrative offices, the corresponding street administration offices branch off.
The entire Immortal Palace official system can be divided into seven ranks according to their treatment. The seventh and sixth ranks are basically cultivators in the Qi Awakening Realm. The seventh rank is a minor official, and the sixth rank is an immortal clerk.
The treatment of a sixth-rank official, or a celestial official, is sufficient to maintain one's cultivation at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm. Such officials are generally mid-level officials in the Administration Office or low-level officials in the Affairs Department.
Such casualties do not involve important figures; they are usually handled by a certain office of the Civil Affairs Department of the Prefect, who sends an official to deal with them.
Li Mingyu and his aunt hadn't walked far when a number of refugees began to appear on the road.
Judging from their appearance alone, it was clear that these refugees were not surviving passengers.
Some of them were so hungry that they were pale and emaciated, their eyes completely numb, as if they had been lingering in the vicinity for a long time.
Some surviving passengers who had been separated from their families were approached by these vagrants, leading to verbal and physical altercations.
It's obviously a robbery.
"Xiaoyu, I seem to remember something. I heard from the neighbors that something like a natural disaster happened in Hanzhou. These refugees must have fled from Hanzhou," the aunt recalled.
"I see, Auntie, let's stay away from each other." Li Mingyu understood the reason and pulled his aunt to take a detour.
Due to the natural disaster in Hanzhou, the spiritual fields suffered a significant reduction in yield. With supply falling short of demand, both grain and spiritual resources prices rose, while wages remained almost unchanged.
If they stayed in Hanzhou, many Qi-awakening cultivators would be unable to maintain their cultivation levels and would have no choice but to flee to other places to find another way out, thus becoming refugees.
Wei Kun, watching the conflict erupting not far away, said with great interest:
"LeBron, why are they fighting?"
