Douluo Jueshi: I can only explode the ring, all I can do is operate.

Chapter 312 The advancement of soul tools is the advancement of civilization.
"Grandpa, Xiao, Your Highness."

Pushing open the door, Meng Hongchen, who had been greeting guests outside, walked in, bowed to Ju Zi, and then led the three distinguished guests inside.

As soon as he entered the gate, Ning Wuque politely bowed to Jing Hongchen and Ju Zi:
"Your Highness the Regent's Wife and Master Hongchen, good evening. Xiao Hongchen, you didn't tell me that these two were also at this dinner."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Wuque pretended to be dissatisfied and looked at Xiao Hongchen. At the same time, he walked towards the last seat opposite Jing Hongchen, followed by Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who were dressed in school uniforms and sect team uniforms.

In response to Ning Wuque's sarcasm, Xiao Hongchen reached for a wine glass filled with red wine on his left and held it out towards Ning Wuque, his tone teasing:

"Please, you surely know that even if you're an idiot, you still have a smart and beautiful lady to analyze things for you, right?"

"Thank you for the compliment, Master of the Red Dust Hall, and Your Highness the Regent's Consort. I am Ning Tian, ​​and I pay my respects."

"Good evening, Master Hongchen and Your Highness the Regent's Consort. My name is Wu Feng. Greetings."

After exchanging greetings, the three of them sat down at the back. Ning Wuque sat in the main seat, while Ning Tian and Wu Feng pulled out the chairs on either side and slowly took their seats, their postures proper and elegant, like ladies from a prominent family.

Ning Wuque waved his hand dismissively at Xiao Hongchen's teasing, then placed his hands on the table and turned his gaze to the oranges.

"So...should we talk business first, or have a meal first?"

"Of course, we should have a meal first. You three can just call me Orange. I asked Mr. Xiao Hongchen for help in inviting you. Please forgive me for not informing you in advance."

Orange shook her head slightly, then gestured to Xiao Hongchen with her eyes.

The latter shrugged indifferently, picked up the wine jug filled with white wine with his right hand, and with a gentle flick, it floated steadily across the table to Ning Wuque's side, while raising the wine glass in his left hand in a silent invitation.

But Ning Wuque didn't immediately pour himself a drink. Instead, he turned to look at Ning Tian and asked him a question.

Can he have a drink today?
"Let me do it."

Slowly rising, Ning Tian took the wine pot from Ning Wuque's side and then an empty wine glass. With a clattering sound, he poured a full glass for him in a moment.

This means you can drink whatever you want.

Taking the wine cup, Ning Wuque also raised his hand and touched it to Xiao Hongchen in the air, then pointed the wine cup at Jing Hongchen.

The latter immediately picked up his glass, which was filled with red wine, and tapped it against the glass in the air. Only then did Ning Wuque turn his glass toward the last orange.

"I think we'll have a great chat tonight, cheers!"

As she spoke, Ju Zi picked up her glass, which was filled with orange wine, and tapped it against Ning Wuque in the air before taking a slow sip. At the same time, the other three people at the banquet picked up their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp, then picked up their forks and knives to start eating.

On either side of Ning Wuque, Ning Tian and Wu Feng behaved very elegantly, only taking small bites of fruit and tender meat before eating much more. Meng Hongchen did the same.

She sat next to her older brother, ate a little something, and then stopped. For her, the dinner party wasn't as enjoyable as eating in the cafeteria, as she felt extremely uncomfortable having to maintain ladylike manners.

Ju Zi didn't care much about this. She tasted each kind of food and started to eat her fill, picking out the ones she thought were the best. Although she was elegant, she didn't restrain herself too much, which surprised both Xiao Hongchen and Jing Hongchen.

Soon, after several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the family dinner was over in half an hour, and most of the food on the table was cleared away.

"I wonder what Mr. Wuque and Madam Ningtian think of our Sun Moon Empire? I heard that Mr. Xiao Hongchen once gave you a brief tour of this place, so I'm a little curious about it."

After finishing her meal, Ju Zi wiped her mouth with a tissue and slowly lay back in her chair, turning her head to look at Ning Wuque and the other two. Her tone and posture were quite casual, as if she was just curious and not discussing anything or trying to win them over.

Not far away, Ning Wuque was also leaning back in his chair after dinner, holding a glass of wine that Ning Tian had poured for him, swaying it gently.

Looking at the oranges, he slowly spoke:
“Mingdu is very advanced. The city looks very orderly and progressive, and the people here are very happy. It is much better than what I saw and heard in the capital of the Tianhun Empire and the capital of the Xingluo Empire.”

Do you know? In my memory, apart from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School where I live, there is no other place that can guarantee that every person can live in peace and prosperity, or that the young have someone to rely on, the elderly have someone to depend on, and the needy have someone to help them. Except for the lazy and the scoundrel, everything is... happy. This place is very good, very good.

“Yes, my husband makes a lot of sense. Our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is not particularly xenophobic. In fact, since we officially came into contact with the Sun Moon Empire, we have been actively using the convenience brought by soul tools. They have saved us a lot of unnecessary expenses, allowing us to maintain the most basic security expenses of the entire sect with fewer resources.”

My father once said, "Soul tools change lives; the advancement of soul tools is the advancement of civilization." When I set foot on this land myself, I realized that what he said was indeed true.

Ning Tian echoed, showing a high level of acceptance of soul tools. In fact, in her ideal world, the first thing she would do upon becoming the sect leader was to fully introduce soul tools.

If used properly, soul tools will only make people's happiness index soar, but if used improperly... this topic cannot be touched.

Across from her, Wu Feng stammered as if she wanted to say something, but at a loss for words, she could only nod silently to indicate that she felt the same way.

Hearing Ning Wuque and Ning Tian's extremely high praise for the Sun Moon Empire, not only did Ju Zi sit up straight, but Xiao Hongchen and Jing Hongchen were also surprised, while Meng Hongchen stared at them with wide eyes.

What's happening here?
"I... I am really happy to hear your praise for my Great Ming Capital, your recognition of soul tools and your clear understanding of them. Indeed, the original intention of our Sun Moon Empire in inventing soul power replenishment soul tools was to pave the way for civilian soul tools. Now it has indeed become an important direction to improve the overall welfare of our empire."

Orange nodded slightly and sat up straight. Now that it had confirmed Ning Wuque and Ning Tian's attitude towards this side, it felt that winning over the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School might not be too difficult.
After all, acknowledging a culture is not a simple matter, but once it is, it means that the other party will definitely think deeply in this direction and compare it with the civilization behind them, thus making them more easily persuaded.
