Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 408: Purity
Led by the old man in a tuxedo, Xu Shen walked through the inner courtyard and came to the place outside where Nan Ning and other grandchildren lived.
Soon, Xu Shen arrived in front of a single-family pointed-hat villa.
There are a few green trees around, some of which have swings hanging on them. There is also a small pond nearby with no fallen leaves on it and the water is clear, which seems to be frequented by this place.
This comfortable environment made Xu Shen smile knowingly. It seemed that Nan Ning was indeed the apple of the eye of Lord Wan. Although she was abandoned at the critical moment, she was not treated badly in her daily life.
"Everyone else lives in a townhouse, but you live in a single-family home, so as to avoid others disturbing you while you are studying." The old man in a tuxedo explained as he led the way.
Xu Shen nodded, and the two of them looked out from the ruins. There were guards outside the villa, and seven or eight servants inside, some of whom were busy in the kitchen, completely unaware that the .
On the second floor of the villa, in a beautifully decorated room, Nan Ning, wearing a dark green skirt and a brown vest jacket, was flipping through a book by the windowsill. She looked focused and seemed completely unaware of the chaos in the outside world.
Xu Shen and the old man in tuxedo walked directly into the room through the window. The old man in tuxedo wanted to speak but was stopped by Xu Shen.
The two stood quietly aside. Xu Shen walked around the window to the other side and saw that the book Nan Ning was reading was called "The Necessity of the Existence of Law".
Not long after, Nan Ning frowned and closed the book.
“That’s too arbitrary.”
Nan Ning commented on the contents of the book and shook his head. The book advocated the law above everything else, above etiquette and morality. Although Nan Ning also advocated the law, he did not agree with some of the arguments in it.
She vaguely remembered some of the words that the young man from Dicheng had said to her, including some of the things she had seen.
“Most people don’t understand the law, but they have feelings.”
“A few people understand the law, but they are ruthless.”
Nan Ning stood up and prepared to change a book on the bookshelf. At this time, Xu Shen and the old man in a tuxedo appeared and landed in front of her.
"ah!"
Nan Ning was startled by the sudden appearance of the two people and almost bumped into Xu Shen. When she saw Xu Shen's appearance clearly, she was stunned for a moment, then she opened her eyes wide in surprise and asked, "It's you?"
Xu Shen smiled and said, "Long time no see."
Nan Ning was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Why are you here, Butler Hong, did you bring him here?"
The old man in the tuxedo just smiled, but he felt bitter inside.
"You still remember me. I haven't seen you for a few years. How have you been learning law?" Xu Shen smiled.
"I should have said that. You actually remember me..." Nan Ning said this, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Have you encountered any difficulties? Just tell me, I will definitely help if I can."
A friend who I haven't contacted for a long time suddenly found me. Maybe he came to ask for help... Xu Shen smiled. Even though it was a misunderstanding, he still felt warm at Nan Ning's reaction. If others guessed this, they would avoid her.
"Nothing, I just came to see you." Xu Shen said.
Nan Ning shook her head and said, "Don't be embarrassed. I even gave you my secret technique. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Don't underestimate me. Although I am not a ruin slayer, I can ask Butler Hong for help. He is very powerful."
The old man in tuxedo was ashamed. He dared not claim to be powerful in front of Xu Shen.
"It's really nothing, I just came to see you. But do you need any help from me?" Xu Shen said.
Nan Ning looked at Xu Shen suspiciously: "You really didn't encounter any difficulties?"
"Miss, Mr. Xu is different now." The old man in tuxedo said hurriedly.
Nan Ning had no choice but to believe what Butler Hong said, and said to Xu Shen, "Speaking of which, I plan to visit you again in half a year. I have already compiled a new version of the law, which is specially written for the Fog People to protect their rights. However, I have to discuss it with the city lord there. I don't know if he is willing to use it..."
"Of course I'm willing. I'm familiar with the city lord there. You just need to go there when the time comes." Xu Shen said with a smile.
Nan Ning was surprised and asked, "Really?"
After getting Xu Shen's affirmative nod, Nan Ning realized that Xu Shen seemed to have really changed. He looked calmer and more reserved than before, with a special sense of majesty, and he seemed to be facing the head of the family in a trance.
She shook her head and said to Xu Shen, "Then it's a deal. We must keep our word. Pinky promise."
Xu Shen smiled and stretched out his hand to shake her pinky promise: "It definitely counts."
The old man in the tuxedo was full of regret. He didn't expect that the young lady would waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity by just making such a meaningless request.
But he didn't dare to remind him out loud for fear of upsetting Xu Shen.
Xu Shen chatted with Nan Ning for a while, then said goodbye to her on the pretext of having something to do.
The old man in a tuxedo personally saw him off, and Xu Shen instructed him to go to the Judgment Hall in the inner city to appoint Nan Ning as the high priest.
The high priest is qualified to participate in the writing of laws for each city. Nan Ning's teacher is the high priest. Although Nan Ning has a background, his family has not over-exploited its privileges for this matter. Therefore, with Nan Ning's qualifications, even if he wants to take the fastest shortcut, he still needs two more years of qualifications.
But Xu Shen didn't care about all that and directly let her parachute in.
The old man in the tuxedo just sighed when he received Xu Shen's instructions. Xu Shen did not reveal his identity to Nan Ning. The friendship between the two was relatively pure, which prevented the Yu family from benefiting from it. It was probably a great fortune that they were able to avoid being exterminated.
After leaving the Yu family, Xu Shen found a car on the side of the road and drove to Yunzhong City.
Passing through one city after another, Xu Shen suddenly saw an iconic building. His heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly remembered that there was an important thing he had not done.
Soon, Xu Shen got off the bus halfway and went straight to the headmaster of the Moonlight Cult.
The Moonlight Cult has the God behind it and the monarch as its backer. The Moonlight Cult is the number one religion in the inner city. Other small cults can only fight on a small scale. If they become too powerful, they will be swallowed up and destroyed.
Xu Shen came to the Moonlight Sect to ask for someone before, but was stopped by the other party. But now the situation is different from before.
It was near dusk, and the warm light shone through the mist, giving the buildings in the inner city a hazy orange sheen.
Inside the church, low chanting sounds were heard.
Xu Shen walked in the fourth world, passed through the Vatican's buildings, and came to the top of the cathedral.
Here, Xu Shen saw the panoramic view of the church. The hall on the ground floor was for ordinary believers, and the second floor was for Vatican staff who were carrying church books. Some were in the corners of the arches, huddled with the nuns with ambiguous expressions.
Under the church is a dark underground torture chamber.
Xu Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on the top floor of the church, where two kings noticed him and were rushing over.
"Who is coming... the monarch?"
When the two saw Xu Shen's appearance clearly, they were stunned for a moment, then horrified and hurriedly saluted.
