Seeing Guangzi start to speak, Luo Qian swallowed back the words he was about to say about the contest.
That dance by Guangzi just now had already enchanted Luo Qian, leaving his soul captivated, and now he only wanted to win the beauty’s favor.
"Miss Guangzi, please speak your mind."
"As a young woman following the theater troupe, I’ve been to many places and t many city lords. I believe that being a city lord is not just about having strength; the most important thing is to win the people’s hearts."
Guangzi picked up a grape and popped it into her mouth, the little version of Ye Lingguang in her mind jumping for joy.
A bunch of rough n daring to bully Sister, they truly have no sha.
He had clearly seen that Sister had no waves of the Power of Reincarnation on her.
He rembered from childhood that their parents said Sister wasn’t in good health and couldn’t cultivate, a fact that had always been a huge regret for her.
After Ye Lingguang arrived in the Human Realm, he also learned that the Human Realm had many cultivation systems, like Magic Fighting Spirit, Primordial Power, and Summoning Power, each with its own rits.
Though the nas were different, their effects were mostly similar, which was sowhat different from the Divine Realm where all thods converged and were unified under the na Divine Power.
But on Ye Lingyue, all these cultivation powers were absent, so it seed even though Sister had reincarnated, she still couldn’t cultivate.
Ye Lingguang couldn’t help but feel sorry for Sister. Soone as smart as her, why couldn’t she learn martial arts?
But no worries, as the saying goes, being strong in limb but simple in mind isn’t necessarily weak, for instance, soone as feared as he was, he also didn’t learn martial arts.
Ye Lingguang cleverly stopped the contest; he decided to use his own thod to help Sister.
Thus, Ye Lingguang brought up the idea of "the people’s hearts."
"The people’s hearts?"
Several city lords looked at each other in surprise.
"Exactly, the people’s hearts. A city lord must be supported by the people. Otherwise, no matter how strong they are, without the support of the people, they’re just a lone commander. I say that all these three conditions you speak of are nonsense. Since it’s about being the city lord of Huangquan City, naturally, the residents of Huangquan City should choose. As the saying goes, water can carry a boat and also overturn it, the power of the masses is the root of everything."
Guangzi’s words once again shocked everyone around.
However, his words also made many present feel a sense of awe. In Ancient Nine Provinces and Qing Province Continent, the strong had always been respected, and no one had ever heard of such views respecting common people.
Yet, what Guangzi said seed reasonable.
"What Miss Guangzi says is very true, listening to her for even a mont is more enlightening than traveling ten thousand miles. I have learned greatly," praised the Wuling City Lord.
"Oh, it’s just a shallow opinion of mine"
Guangzi wore an expression of modesty.
The little version of Ye Lingguang in her mind laughed triumphantly with arms akimbo.
"Isn’t that obvious, don’t they know who taught this? It’s my dear own mother who instilled in since childhood that all beings are equal, and love and protection for the people can win their hearts and thus rule the world."
dicine Buddha Yun Sheng, unlike other gods of the Divine Realm, ca from the twenty-first century. Although through transmigration and rebirth she married and had children in another world, she never forgot to educate her three children with so modern viewpoints.
After Ye Lingyue was reborn, although she didn’t rember the past, hearing Guangzi’s words stirred a slight chord within her, and she felt a sense of familiarity from deep within, leading her to stare at Guangzi, montarily lost in thought.
Di Shen, watching from the side, knitted thick eyebrows like two earthworms.
A nace, this one nad Guangzi is trouble, he must not approach Ling Yue within three feet.
Guangzi was about to boast further when a chilling killing intent rushed towards him, putting him imdiately on alert. Upon looking carefully, he saw the scoundrel glaring at him.
"So, according to Miss’s opinion, should all of Huangquan City’s citizens vote then? That seems impractical. Firstly, Huangquan City is far away, and secondly, the Patrol Envoy hasn’t ever governed Huangquan City, so a public election would be unfair to him."
Luo Qian was noncommittal about Guangzi’s suggestion, but to please the beauty, he reluctantly agreed.
"Why make things so complicated, people are the sa everywhere. Whether a city lord is qualified, the people’s minds are like a clear mirror, and we can conduct a people’s hearts test in Shui City."
"Shui City? Miss Guangzi, you want to use my city’s citizens to choose a different city’s lord?"
Luo Qian was even more puzzled.
"To be precise, not in Shui City, but in a town outside of Shui City. In fact, on my way to Shui City, I passed through a town called Yuliao Town. Though it falls under Shui City’s influence, it hasn’t been peaceful lately. I think City Lord Ye and the Patrol Envoy should go together to Yuliao Town to help govern it, and whoever finds the root cause of the turmoil in a month can beco the new city lord of Huangquan City."
Guangzi’s beautiful face had a touch of unease when ntioning Yuliao Town.
He also happened upon Yuliao Town and was left shaken by what he saw.
But traveling from the Divine Realm to the Human Realm in secret ant he couldn’t use too much Divine Power without attracting trouble, so he remained a bystander.
Yuliao Town, such a place within the governance area of Shui City?
Luo Qian felt bewildered and slightly embarrassed, as the city lord of Shui City, having such issues in his governance area yet being reminded by outsiders, showed he was indeed lacking.
"I think Miss Guangzi’s proposal is good; let’s have the two compete. This seems far more interesting than an ordinary contest. What do the city lords think?"
After listening, the Wuling City Lord glanced wisely from his old eyes.
"I also think it’s good. Today Miss Guangzi has indeed given us a refreshing lesson."
City Lord Yang echoed the sentint.
After looking at Guangzi’s "eager" face and the composed countenances of the two elder city lords, Luo Qian reluctantly agreed.
Thus, with a month’s deadline, Ye Lingyue and the Patrol Envoy nad Jiang Ce from the Jiu Provinces Alliance set off together for Yuliao Village, a hundred miles outside of Shui City.
On the day of their departure to Yuliao Village, at the city gate of Shui City.
As Ye Lingyue and Di Shen’s group erged, from afar they saw so unexpected people at the city gate.
At the city gate, not only was the arrogant Patrol Envoy from the Jiu Provinces Alliance present, but so was the jubilant Guangzi, the silent rfolk King, and, surprising Ye Lingyue, she saw Luo Qianche.
A grand group of people, they seed less like they were going to inspect Yuliao Town and more like they were heading out for an excursion.
With all the expected and unexpected people gathered, Di Shen’s expression was not pleasant, nor was Ye Lingyue’s.
