The people of the mainland no longer believe in any gods, but the word "god" is still a symbol of supremacy and omnipotence. Taking the name of God must be a very remarkable existence. This needs to be recognized by everyone. If it is self-proclaimed, it is indeed a bit arrogant. But when Zhong Qian heard Lu Ping say this about him, instead of being angry, he burst into laughter.
"This is not pride." He said with a smile, "It's just that what we do needs a god-like existence to support it, and people also need a god to bring them hope. God is fake, but hope is real. Taking the name of God helps strengthen the faith in people’s hearts, allowing them to believe in the future and live full of expectations.”
"Believe in the future and live full of expectations?" Lu Ping was stunned.
"Yes, everyone should have a future, but do you know that there are many people in this world who have no future. They are in despair, and living a simple life like ordinary people has become the biggest luxury for them?"
"I know." Lu Ping said.
"You don't know, of course you don't know, that even if you don't become a successful cultivator from an academy, you won't be reduced to an ordinary person. Well...wait a minute, what did you just say?" Zhong Qian was impassioned. Halfway through speaking, I suddenly had some aftertaste. The format of Lu Ping's answer just now seemed wrong!
"I said, I know." Lu Ping said.
"Nonsense, how can you, a brat, know that kind of despair and helplessness?" Zhong Qian said.
"I do know." Lu Ping said.
"Okay, even if you know." Zhong Qian said as if he didn't care about you so much, "Since you know, then you should know how to have hope and a way out in that desperate situation. The road ahead is so precious. And we may not be able to help everyone, but at least we can give everyone hope."
"Full of hope and then die in despair?" Lu Ping asked.
"..."
"You've probably seen a lot of desperate people, but have you ever experienced despair yourself?" Lu Ping asked again.
"..."
"Do you know that people who are in despair have hope that can easily lead them deeper into despair?"
"..."
"So, if you don't have the ability to help people realize their hope, it's better not to give them hope casually! You don't know if they have the perseverance to hold on to hope in despair."
"You little brat..." Zhong Qian wanted to refute. But for a while, I found that I couldn't find a suitable argument. Lu Ping seemed to be no longer prepared to pay attention to him. He supported Su Tang, greeted Xi Fan, Mo Lin, and Chu Min, and seemed to be leaving.
"So where are you now?" Zhong Qian suddenly shouted.
Several people looked at him.
"Do you know that your actions will plunge many people into despair?" Zhong Qian said.
"What do you mean?" Xi Fan asked.
"You are just leaving now. Where is the Fengfeng Academy? Will neither the Xiafeng City Lord's Mansion nor the Academy Supervisory Committee let them off easily?" Zhong Qian said.
"What you said makes sense." Lu Ping nodded, "But who said we would just walk away?"
"Huh? Aren't we going to run away?" Mo Lin wondered.
The four people around him looked at him fiercely.
"Of course not, of course we have to go back to Xiafeng City and Xiafeng College." Mo Lin answered his doubts very firmly.
"Thank you for your help." Lu Ping said finally to Zhong Qian, and several others also expressed their gratitude to Zhong Qian, and then turned to leave.
"Go back like this? In your current state?" Zhong Qian finally found a reliable fact. The current state of the five of them is that any cultivator can knock them all down.
"Of course we will take necessary rest." Several people said. On the other hand, he had already waved to Zhong Qian to say goodbye.
"Hey!!" Zhong Qian chased after him.
"You're such a rude guy, what else can you do?!" Chu Min finally got impatient. Before, considering that the other party came to the rescue in time, he didn't say much, but even the savior Chu Min couldn't bear it anymore.
"Don't you think about looking for help?" Zhong Qian felt aggrieved! Ordinarily, given the situation these guys were in, they would be so lucky to meet Nightingale. From Nightingale's point of view, she is very willing to help those who are in trouble with the Xiafeng City Lord's Mansion.
As a result, apart from thanking him for his help, these guys showed no intention of asking for help at all. Zhong Qian initially thought that they were going to leave just because they had no intention of asking Nightingale for help. But now they expressed their intention to go back, but in the end they did not speak to him. Are these guys too stupid to think about it? Or are they just paying lip service or are they actually going to walk away?
No matter what the reason is, Zhong Qian will not let it go easily.
Too stupid, he didn't mind taking the initiative to help; he just left without caring. Then he must intervene in this irresponsible behavior.
"Help?" Several people fell into thinking.
"Yes, helper." Zhong Qian took a few steps forward and placed himself in the most conspicuous position.
"I don't know how Xiu Zhiping and Shi Ao are doing now?" Lu Ping said.
"We can't hold them back any longer," Xi Fan said.
"Wen Yan still has to shoulder the responsibility of their whole family!" Su Tang said.
"Their troubles may not end here." Chu Min said.
"Is it possible that Amaterasu Academy is also involved?" Su Tang said.
"Amaterasu Academy removed them last time, and they are no longer responsible this time." Xi Fan said.
"The dean of Amaterasu Academy is really cunning!" Mo Lin sighed. "In comparison, our old man is much inferior."
"Let him fire us too?" Lu Ping said.
"But now I don't know where he has gone." Xi Fan said.
"What a troublesome old man!" said Mo Lin.
"Perhaps he shouldn't have let us participate in this dianpo conference in the first place." Su Tang said.
"Think about it, first we took it back, but the Wind Picking Academy was killed... This ending is a bit exciting!" Mo Lin said. He obviously doesn't have much affection for Zhaifeng Academy.
"Your second uncle is still in the college!" Lu Ping reminded him.
"I'm not too worried about him. Our Mo family are all very talented at escaping," Mo Lin said.
A few people were discussing and walking, and Zhong Qian found himself in a conspicuous position on the rainstorm street. From the beginning to the end, not even a few people took a glance at her. They just walked and talked, leaving him there.
"Hey!" Zhong Qian roared and caught up again.
"We Nightingale are here! Do you not need help, or do you want to avoid help?" Zhong Qian simply made it clear.
"Thank you for your kindness, but..." Xi Fan said.
"We don't want to bring more people into trouble." Su Tang said, and several others nodded.
"Because unfulfilled hopes will only bring deeper despair, so when our hopes cannot be guaranteed, why not simply reject us and prevent us from falling into despair?" Zhong Qian said with a smile.
"But we Nightingale people. Even if we are in despair, we must have the perseverance to hold on to hope."
