88: Regarding nobles

Su Yuntao took away all the young girls and reported the matter to the local government.

The City Lord's Mansion investigated quickly and rescued all thirteen young girls who were being held at Viscount Jack's residence.

Two of them had already been killed by Viscount Jack.

According to the Heaven Dou Empire Law, Viscount Jack was fined three hundred gold coins and ordered to stay indoors for three months of reflection.

That night, Viscount Jack went to the Spirit Hall in a carriage.

However, he was lying on a stretcher with an unknown number of broken bones... all thanks to Xiao Wu's Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop!

He complained bitterly to the Hall Master, who had to keep a smiling Face in response.

The Spirit Hall has no fiefdom, so how does it maintain its operations? One of the most important factors is the support of the local nobility.

The Hall Master coaxed Viscount Jack and then called Su Yuntao over.

Su Yuntao was just about to make a final plea to Sisi when he was called; the two of them entered the room together.

With a cold Face, the Hall Master asked angrily, "Su Yuntao! Who gave you permission to act so wildly at Viscount Jack's residence? Who gave you the nerve?! Do you think you're all grown up now?! Or are you just looking for death?!"

Viscount Jack snorted coldly, tilting his chin up as he looked at Su Yuntao triumphantly.

"I..."

Su Yuntao was stunned and asked in confusion, "Wasn't Viscount Jack ordered to be confined to his home?"

Viscount Jack's expression immediately turned icy. "Hall Master..."

The Hall Master picked up the fruit plate on the table and threw it violently at Su Yuntao.

Crash...!!!

The fruit plate fell to the floor, shattering into pieces.

Su Yuntao's Face twitched as he stared blankly at the Hall Master.

Clearly, it was Viscount Jack's fault, yet he was the one being punished?

The Hall Master gritted his teeth and said, "Kneel! Su Yuntao! Apologize to Viscount Jack! Unless you want to get the hell out of here!"

Sisi glanced at Su Yuntao with pity, then swayed her hips and sat down beside the Hall Master.

Su Yuntao's Face turned red with shame, and his whole body was trembling.

This was simply preposterous!

A wicked bastard was being coddled by everyone.

Instead, the good person who saved innocent young girls was being threatened and forced to kneel to the bastard?!

Was there still any justice left in this World?

"I... I..." Su Yuntao gritted his teeth, his expression contorted.

The Hall Master slammed the table and rose, furious. "I what? Kneel down now! Are you trying to rebel?! I think you don't want to stay here anymore!"

Sisi said sweetly, "Su Yuntao, don't cause trouble for the Hall Master. Viscount Jack has donated a lot of wealth to our Spirit Hall. Is this how you repay him?"

Viscount Jack sneered repeatedly, looking at Su Yuntao mockingly.

"Kid, this is the Heaven Dou Empire, the World of us nobles. You're a Spirit Master, you can fight? What use is that! Out in the World, it's about power and influence! Do you have any?"

"I won't make it too hard for you. Find me the same number of young girls, and I'll let you off the hook as if nothing happened."

Viscount Jack said with a smile.

"Aren't you going to thank Viscount Jack?" Sisi said immediately.

"Thank your mother!!!"

Su Yuntao roared, stripped off his Spirit Hall uniform, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it hard onto the ground.

"What a load of crap! I quit! This place is damn filthy to the core!"

Su Yuntao pointed at the three of them, cursed, and turned to leave.

The Hall Master and the others were stunned by the verbal assault.

Bang...!

The door slammed shut heavily.

Only then did they react, their Faces turning red with rage.

"He's revolted!!!"

The Hall Master roared loudly... Meanwhile, at Nuoding Academy.

In Yu Xiaogang's room.

Yu Xiaogang called Tang San in, asked about the matter with Viscount Jack, and gave Tang San a harsh scolding.

Tang San felt extremely wronged, nearly shedding tears.

"Teacher, but that Viscount Jack really did something beastly..."

Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly and said, "So what? Won't the laws of the Heaven Dou Empire punish him? Hasn't he been punished already? But what about you? You actually took the law into your own hands! It's a good thing Xiao Wu didn't name you!"

"Her mother is the Richest Person in Nuoding City! And a Spirit Emperor! What background do you have?!"

Yu Xiaogang said, disappointed that Tang San didn't live up to his expectations.

He thought to himself that Tang San had the Clear Sky Douluo behind him and wouldn't be in danger.

But what would happen to him then?

Tang San's Face flushed red, and he lowered his head, not daring to argue further.

Yu Xiaogang sighed, placed his hands behind his back, walked to the window, and said gloomily:

"Little San, I once had a heart full of passion, thinking that talent and justice could decide everything, but that is not the case."

"We cannot change this World. Powerful Spirit Masters, influential nobles... we can only protect ourselves by becoming one of them. No one can defeat them except themselves."

Tang San slowly raised his head and said weakly, "Teacher, I understand..."

"It's good that you understand. Don't let there be a next time. Never make enemies with nobles or powerful Spirit Masters..."

Yu Xiaogang smiled slightly. Fortunately, Tang San was still obedient!

Tang San suddenly said, "By the way, Teacher, I saw Luo San Pao at the time. It seemed different..."

Tang San described the situation with Luo San Pao at that time.

"Hmm?"

Yu Xiaogang was startled, then frowned. "Don't joke with me! Luo San Pao is my Spirit. I didn't send him to do such things!"

"Teacher, I'm telling the truth!" Tang San insisted.

Yu Xiaogang looked deeply at Tang San and began to summon Luo San Pao.

His Face turned red from the effort, but Luo San Pao did not appear.

"..."

Yu Xiaogang snorted loudly again, and finally, a purple light erupted beside him.

Luo San Pao was summoned.

Bang...!

Yu Xiaogang immediately kicked him.

Luo San Pao rolled a few times and hit the wall.

"Can a piece of trash like this be like what you said?" Yu Xiaogang laughed self-deprecatingly, his gaze toward Luo San Pao becoming increasingly loathsome.

Tang San opened his mouth. No matter how he looked at it, Luo San Pao seemed the same as back then.

Moreover, Yu Xiaogang had taught him... there are no trash Spirits, only trash Spirit Masters.

Why was Teacher slapping his own Face now?

Luo San Pao looked coldly at Yu Xiaogang, climbed up from the ground, and with a pop, vanished into thin air.

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly. He hadn't dismissed Luo San Pao; why did he suddenly disappear?

...At the City Lord's Mansion.

The subordinates City Lord Xiao sent to search for evidence of the nobles' crimes returned quickly.

They brought back evidence of those nobles' crimes.

In the entire Nuoding City, about seventy percent of the nobility met the conditions he mentioned.

Seizing property and taking lives.

Because a noble is not just one person, but a Family.

To gain more wealth, they either have the ability, or if they don't, it's simpler: they just bully the commoners.

At worst, it's just a fine and losing some Face.

City Lord Xiao looked at the evidence, and his Face became extremely pale. "If I submit these, I'm afraid... I'm afraid Nuoding City will fall into chaos! Will I even be able to keep my position as City Lord?"

City Lord Xiao panicked, his hands trembling, feeling that he had gone too far!
