“Master, are you up to something again? This time, you have to tell me who you’re targeting! It was so thrilling last time with Billy! Ah! Pity I didn’t get to enjoy it enough!” After hearing Mu Lin’s words, Xiao Laipi shouted excitedly.
“Cut it out! Do you really think I’m such a violent person?” Mu Lin replied with a smile, lightly tapping Xiao Laipi’s head.
“Listen up. Living in this mundane world, we must follow its rules. Although we already possess power beyond this world, once we lose control of our inner bloodlust, we will become slaves to our desires, forever separated from the Dao. Do you want to become someone like that?” Mu Lin looked at Xiao Laipi seriously.
Although Xiao Laipi shook his head, the doubt in his eyes did not escape Mu Lin.
“Alright then, I’ll explain it to you in detail. Your former master was chased and hunted by the cultivation sects in Zhongyuan simply to seize the floating stones for you, eventually forcing you both to flee to this distant land, where your master perished.
Therefore, you have always harbored hatred toward the cultivation sects in Zhongyuan. For hundreds of years, you barely survived by relying on that tiny piece of floating stone, thus developing an intense longing for power.
I know that after obtaining the floating stone I gave you, you’ve been desperately absorbing its energy and practicing the cultivation techniques left by your master, dreaming of one day returning to Zhongyuan to avenge your past grievances.
But let me tell you, the cultivation world in Zhongyuan has been in decline for hundreds of years. Those sects that once pursued you no longer exist. These are facts I have personally verified. If you still don’t believe me, I can go with you to Zhongyuan to search for evidence. I also hope to find traces of these cultivators.
Actually, this should be good news for you. The Dao is simple, and natural laws also apply to the cultivation world. Although the law of the jungle governs nature, let me ask you this—would you be willing to fight against a group of tiny ants?”
Mu Lin continued after seeing Xiao Laipi shake his head.
“If the Zhongyuan cultivators still existed, I wouldn’t oppose your desire for revenge. After all, such hatred is like a mountain, standing heavily in your heart. And the power struggle is like a boxing match, except there might be more opponents.
You might think it inappropriate to compare cultivators to ordinary people. Well then, let me ask you this—given our current strength, wouldn’t fighting ordinary humans be just like humans battling ants?
Before we cultivated true energy, we were like infants surrounded by an ant colony, forced to flee to avoid being harmed.
Once we cultivated our own energy, we became giants among ants. Even if the ants resisted fiercely, they could still harm us. But once you become addicted to the absolute power over ants, you will indulge in the thrill, developing a desire to destroy ant colonies one by one. But can you ever truly eliminate all the ant colonies in this world?
Perhaps before you finish eliminating all the ants, you’ll realize that your life is already nearing its end, but by then, it will be too late. This is what I want to tell you.”
Listening to Mu Lin’s words, Xiao Laipi fell into deep thought. After a while, he pushed the issue aside and asked Mu Lin:
“Master, so we won’t take any action from now on? Are we just going to let these people off the hook? You know how mercilessly they treated our fellow Chinese!”
“Haha, who said we’re not taking action? I just want you to let go of your hatred and stop filling Mei Zi and others with your ideas!” Mu Lin laughed as he scolded Xiao Laipi and quickly returned to their rented room.
In the following days, Mu Lin and Xiao Laipi punished several greedy families who had taken advantage of the Mu Lin incident to seize Chinese assets. They also completely eradicated several Y-country London gangs that had been oppressing the Chinese, wiping them out entirely.
This caused panic throughout London, with families and gangs involved in the persecution of Chinese people living in constant fear. They used their family influence to pressure the government into providing increased protection while also pushing for greater surveillance of the Chinese community.
However, this move was immediately exposed by the media. The Billy incident handled by Mu Lin, widely reported by the press, highlighted his fairness. The media had long been dissatisfied with being manipulated by the Y government.
When the Y government planned to increase surveillance on the Chinese community, the media immediately launched extensive coverage, accusing the so-called democratic government of preparing to implement undemocratic racial discrimination policies. Public opinion strongly opposed this, causing the government’s plan to collapse before it could even be implemented.
This development threw London’s powerful families into chaos, forcing the government to deploy protective forces. At the same time, the Y government was already overwhelmed by massive capital transfers within the country, but under pressure, it had to divert some police forces to protect these families. London’s security situation quickly fell into complete disarray.
During this time, Mu Lin entrusted the Douglas Law Firm to act on his behalf, commissioning private detective agencies to gather nearly 300 displaced Chinese orphans from across Y country and concentrate them in London. He also rented a mansion in the suburbs of London to serve as a temporary shelter for these angelic children.
Additionally, investigations were conducted into the living conditions of Chinese children in various London orphanages. Those suffering from abuse were rescued, and the media was invited to report on the orphanages involved in mistreatment. This gave the previously guilt-ridden media an opportunity to launch extensive coverage.
Suddenly, the terrible living conditions of Chinese orphans in Y country were exposed to the world. Heart-wrenching stories of these orphans quickly drew attention from many compassionate citizens in Y country, who expressed willingness to sponsor or adopt them. This added another heavy blow to the already panicking Y government, causing even more chaos.
At this time, the Douglas Law Firm declined adoption requests from well-meaning individuals and instead announced that a kind-hearted benefactor had established a special fund to create an orphanage called the “Angel Orphanage” dedicated to sheltering Chinese orphans.
It was at this time that Claire quietly arrived in London.
