Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

Page 131

The two made physical contact, looked into each other's eyes, and then couldn't help but smile.

Seeing this, the Serpent Spear Douluo snorted and said no more.

Well, now that things have come to this, he admits it.

This kid is definitely something.

No wonder the young master values this person so highly.

Lu Yan and Xue Qinghe were sitting opposite each other again when Xue Qinghe suddenly asked Lu Yan a question.

"Brother Lu, you actually thought of this last suggestion a long time ago, didn't you?"

Lu Yan smiled slightly, "Brother Qinghe, do you see any problems?"

"I'm just curious, Brother Lu, you didn't need to recount your previous population theory to Qinghe; you could have just given your final opinion directly."

Why?

"Does the authorities feel that Qinghe was merely touched, and without the support of vested interests, the favors bestowed by those in power are ultimately unsustainable?"

Xue Qinghe had this question.

"Why do you think so, Brother Qinghe?" Lu Yan asked in return.

"Or perhaps this is a test for Qinghe. If I ignore the people at the bottom, will Brother Lu not mention a word of the final proposal?"

Xue Qinghe said this, then asked again, "But why?"

“Brother Lu is clearly from a wealthy family, and now he has a very close relationship with Mr. Dugu and others.”

"What do those people's lives and deaths have to do with Brother Lu?"

Lu Yan did not answer, but instead asked Xue Qinghe, "Brother Qinghe, don't you also feel sorry for them?"

"Just because they're pitiful?"

"Isn't that enough?" Lu Yan asked again.

“That’s not enough. Brother Lu isn’t like that kind of person,” Xue Qinghe replied.

"Hahahaha." Lu Yan laughed loudly, "I also think I'm not that kind of person."

"Brother Qinghe has a very good eye for people."

"Then why is that?" Xue Qinghe asked again.

“Brother Qinghe, as I said before, humans are social beings, and everyone is shaped by this society and this world.”

"But there are always people who don't like this."

"I prefer to change the world rather than be changed by it."

"Make it the way I like it."

"What kind of world does Brother Lu like? Could you satisfy Qinghe's curiosity?"

“I don’t know either, but I do know that there should be less suffering and oppression.”

"At the very least, everyone should be able to eat their fill and stay warm, and no one should have to struggle desperately for basic survival."

"Life should be valued more, and at least it should not be treated as worthless."

Lu Yan narrated it this way.

At this moment, Lu Yan was backlit by the sun, and the outdoor light shone on him, making him shine brilliantly.

Xue Qinghe found it somewhat dazzling, and for a moment he couldn't tell who the true successor of the Angel God was.

Who is the true symbol of light?

Looking at Lu Yan like this, Xue Qinghe was suddenly stunned.

Even the Serpent Spear Douluo standing to the side narrowed his eyes slightly.

The sun was exceptionally hot today, so much so that even he, a titled Douluo, felt it was blindingly bright.

"Brother Lu is noble and kind-hearted; I admire him greatly." After a long pause, Xue Qinghe finally uttered these words.

For some reason, he thought of Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang, whom she had her eye on.

Bah, what a piece of trash, not even a fraction as good as Brother Lu in front of me.

The two then continued to discuss and plan the implementation steps of the subsequent plan in detail.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that Lu Yan left Xue Qinghe's residence, satisfied.

Is he the vice president of the Heaven Dou Empire Civilian Relief Association?

Lu Yan was quite satisfied with this position.

After all, he was in full charge of the matter, while Xue Qinghe was only the nominal president.

This gives him a lot more room to maneuver.

Borrowing a hen to lay eggs—we've finally managed to borrow that hen.

How much spiritual faith and belief can the city of Tiandou, with its millions of inhabitants, actually acquire?

Lu Yan was very curious.

After Lu Yan left, Xue Qinghe was also very curious.

Was Lu Yan's true purpose in saying those words really as he claimed?

Xue Qinghe was skeptical.

So what is his purpose?

Xue Qinghe was surprised, and neither were the four Title Douluos present.

It couldn't possibly be for collecting faith, could it?

Thinking this, Xue Qinghe shook his head and chuckled. How could that be?

At most, Lu Yan is only a Great Soul Master, or at most a Heavenly Soul Venerable.

Even if Lu Yan knew the secret to becoming a god, collecting faith was still a long way off.

Since she couldn't figure out Lu Yan's purpose, Xue Qinghe simply stopped thinking about it.

Let's just assume that Lu Yan is truly a person with a strong sense of righteousness.

Thus, Xue Qinghe then compared Lu Yan and Yu Xiaogang.

Then I realized I'd lost my mind; what was the point of comparing the two?

That's an insult to Lu Yan.

Therefore, Xue Qinghe asked the four titled Douluo for their opinions on Lu Yan's words.

These four titled Douluo are naturally Serpent Spear, Porcupine, Thousand Pound, and Demon Subduer, along with two Spirit Hall Elders and two Spirit Hall Retainers.

“Young Master, I think that boy’s words are indeed feasible.” The first to speak was Serpent Spear Douluo.

Subsequently, the other three titled Douluo also expressed their opinions one by one.

They had also heard Lu Yan's words in secret.

While deeply shocked, I also felt that Lu Yan's words made sense.

Public opinion is indeed one of the foundations of the Spirit Hall.

However, many people also felt that Lu Yan's words were too alarmist.

As long as the Spirit Hall has a Grand Elder and these Super Douluo and Title Douluo support the young master.

No matter how much Bibi Dong tries to stir things up, she can't create much trouble.

Once the young master returns, taking control of the Spirit Hall will be a piece of cake.

They, on the contrary, thought that it was a huge waste for Lu Yan to carry out his plan under Xue Qinghe's identity.

It would be better to hand it over to the Spirit Hall and let their faction of the Offering Hall carry it out.

This also helps to salvage some of the reputation that Bibi Dong has damaged.

Xue Qinghe naturally wouldn't object to this.

However, he still hoped to wait until Lu Yan's plan had yielded some results.

By leveraging Lu Yan's achievements and experience, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In this way, the future fate of countless people at the bottom of society was determined.

Afterwards, Xue Qinghe discussed with the four Title Douluos the matter of purging the Pope's faction from its collusion with the nobles.

On this matter, everyone's opinion is remarkably unified.

It boils down to one word: kill!

Those in the Papal faction who have tarnished the reputation and honor that the Spirit Hall has built up over many years and have defied the glory of the Angel God.

They had long harbored the intention to take action, and now that the young master had given the order, they were naturally extremely happy.

In this way, the future fate of these nobles and members of the Spirit Hall was also decided.

Once all the intelligence has been investigated and clarified, it will be their death day.

Oh, right, we should also invite his virtuous vice president.

According to him, he deeply despised the nobility.

So when the time comes, we must make him take the lead and let him curse a few times to get his kicks.

Xue Qinghe felt both amused and exasperated by this.

Only then did he realize that Lu Yan was actually seven years younger than him.

If he weren't a Soul Master, he'd still be considered a child.

However, Xue Qinghe also had some doubts about Lu Yan's willful request.

But since I couldn't figure it out, I stopped thinking about it.

This Brother Lu is far too cunning; he's completely unfathomable.
