Female Novel
Chapter 211
Chapter 211: Chapter 207: ReplacePeople of the world, defined simply by good and bad, is too one-sided and arbitrary.
Human nature is complex, there is no fixed standard to measure one’s goodness or evilness. A small-time crook could risk hislife protecting his mother, while a seemingly kind elder might be a hypocrite. This is the true face of humanity, with both good andevil aspects.
Awise man who understands human nature would not simply judge a person as good or bad, because most people tend to be agrey mix of both, leaning more towards one or the other.
Most people are just ordinary, doing good things occasionally, and bad things at times.
So, to judge whether a society has more good people or bad people, one should change the perspective and observe whetherthere are more rule-abiding people or rule-breaking ones.
Order is more suitable than simple goodness or evil in judging the current state of a city or a community.
Generally speaking, Xiling is an orderly city, where various families can live peacefully without turbulence, and the majority ofbandits and villains are kept at bay beyond the city walls.
As acommercial city with many jobs available, the vast majority of Xiling civilians can secure their own livelihoods.
But there will always be a group of people who are unwilling to live such ordinary lives. They admire power and aspire to controlothers’ destinies, but sadly, they can’t withstand the monotony and boredom of martial arts practice and falter at the smallestthreshold in the Martial Arts Realm—the peak of Mortal Realm.
Feeling that they might be limited by their own talents and unable to progress further, they leave the martial arts school to makea living.
Their form of livelihood is to loiter on the streets, extort money, and live in a daze.
They form gangs, run rampant on the streets, and talk condescendingly to others. Yet, they become obsequious in front of clanmartial artists and martial arts masters, trying their best to curry favor and brag after they have established a connection: abouttheir years of close friendship with so-and-so, and how they can solve all problems.
Encountering a weaker person, they bully mercilessly, then say: actually, with my status in the jianghu (underworld), | wouldn’tbother myself with a small fry like you. But if you do this and that, I'll let you off this time.
Tang Luo doesn’t see any value in the existence of such a group of people, so he wants to set a rule for them: Xiling now has theFive-Acre Order, either you go farming; or you get a job; or you can join the Righteous Gang and do business with Gong Zheng.Even if you don’t want to do anything and stay at home, | won't stop you.
But if you continue living by oppressing the kind, I'll send you to reincarnate, let you be wealthy and powerful in your next lifewithout so much effort! This is the core logic of this rule.
To him, the Security Bureau of Xiling is just a facade. It’s a department established by the noble families to deal with trivialmatters of the public, but those in the bureau don’t really care about the lives of the civilians. The ones truly managing thecivilians are these gangs, while the Security Bureau merely manages the gangs and collects money as their work.
If that’s the case, what’s the point of having the Security Bureau?
Therefore, the Righteous Gang is a force he cultivates to replace the Security Bureau. According to the current logic of thebureau, commanding the gangs directly would be more efficient, eliminate the middlemen, and nothing would be impossible!
This idea has been circling in Tang Luo’s mind for a long time. He hasn’t found the right person yet. His original plan was to useCeleritas to produce a loyal Toffler expert to handle this after entering the Fierce Realm, but unexpectedly he met Gong Zheng.
Although there are many flaws in this person, as long as his wife and daughter are in his hands, it should not cause too muchtrouble.
Therefore, Tang Luo left the Star Pavilion in a good mood and walked towards Mi Bai’s stall.
Just across the street, Tang Luo saw the figure of Mi Bai indulged in writing, and Old Xu grabbing Yang Fan and whisperingsomething.
As Mi Bai finished the last character on the poster, he looked up to see Tang Luo approaching his stand and quickly camearound to bow deeply to him. “Brother Mi, what's this for?” Tang Luo helped Mi Bai up.
With a stirred expression, Mi Bai didn’t want to get up: “If not for Brother Tang’s Five-Acre Order, | don’t know how many peoplein Xiling would have suffered from hunger and cold this year. Please accept this bow from me!”
“Shush, speak lower. If I’m recognized, | won't be able to come to your shop in the future.”
Fortunately, there weren't many people around in the early morning. Otherwise, just because of Mi Bai’s shout, Tang Luo wouldbe surrounded. But he really didn’t deserve such deep respect from Mi Bai, so he tried lifting him up.
How could the strength of someone in Mortal Realm be compared to that of the Toffler Realm? Tang Luo held his arms andstraightened them up with ease, saying casually: “With Xiling’s price of grain, it doesn’t matter that much whether one owns afarmland or not. But given the current price, if the farmland cultivation order is not released to the public, | fear they won’t survivethis winter. Everyone can see this, so there’s no need for you to thank me for the Five-Acre Order.”
Ascribe all credit to himself? There’s no big task in the world that a single person can accomplish. Tang Luo is just the initiator ofthe policy, he is not the one creating the register, measuring the land, managing the system, or even the one farming the land, sohe doesn’t think he’s anything extraordinary.
Well, apart from being more advanced in cultivation, more handsome, more intelligent, having a more stunning familybackground, and a more open-minded personality, he is not much different from an ordinary person, right-
Tang Luo, with a smiling face, stood beside Mi Bai and pointed at a ink painting on the stall and asked, “You know how to paintas well?”
“It's nothing much...” Mi Bai was about to be modest, but someone interrupted him.
“Old Bai is a true genius! Look at this painting, look at these words!” Old Xu Yin heard Tang Luo’s words and rushed out withpride on his face: “I tell you, if Old Bai can’t become the number one calligrapher in Xiling, it would definitely be your loss!”
Even Tang Luo was blushing at hearing such words, not to mention the modest and reserved Mi Bai. All he could do was give abitter smile and say, “Brother Xu, you flatter me too much. | can’t accept that.”
“Yes, yes, you can!” Old Xu Yin waved his hands repeatedly: “My brother has arrived too, you said you'd treat us to a meal, whenwill that be?”
Mi Bai suggested to the two, “It’s springtime now, the sunshine just right. We can enjoy the outdoors at Red Cloud Mountaintomorrow. | will prepare some light meals and wine. What do you think, Brother Xu, Brother Tang?”
Spring outing? | like that. Tang Luo squinted and said, “Sounds great! | will bring some desserts and snacks too!”After a full month of intense research, he could use some refreshing scenery to clear his mind.

But after coming to Xiling, he first met Mi Bai, a person of pure-hearted nature, and then a cousin who didn’t treat him like amember of the sacred land. This made him as happy as if he had two brothers.
