Shao Qilin was taken away by Duan Changqing’s people and sent to the place where the big families in Hongye City were imprisoned.

The people of these families have been tried, and sentenced for their crimes.

Those detained here are those with lesser crimes and are required to undergo labor reform.

Shao Qilin attacked one of the leaders of Hongye City. In reality, his crime was more serious than the others sentenced here, but he doesn’t have any real strength or ability, and didn’t really do anything, so Duan Changqing made an exception for him.

But for Shao Qilin, being sent to such a place was already painful torture.

The people here have to get up early every morning, and then either use textile machines to weave cloth, or use sewing machines to make clothes…

Only by doing well can they get contribution points, and only with contribution points can they exchange for food and daily necessities.

Fortunately, there are many types of work, and they can always find work to do. Those who are willing to work hard can eat well.

It’s just that those sent here are all young masters and young ladies. Even if some are warriors, with physical stamina exceeding that of ordinary people, all of them were unwilling to work hard at first.

But in the face of hunger, they could only work obediently. Some of them were able to do their work quickly and well after accepting their fate, and even their picking eating habits disappeared without a trace.

Liao Xingyuan was also locked up here.

He was never taken seriously in the Liao family, and his strength is also poor. He was arrested without any resistance at the beginning. Although nothing was found after he was arrested, because he is a member of the Liao family, they couldn’t let him go…

After lunch every day, detainees have a rare respite in their day. During this time, they can even watch the news of Hongye City.

Today’s news is about Xie Yunnan’s last day of work before the new year. He plans to inspect the situation in various places across the city and pay New Year’s greetings to the people of Hongye City.

Xie Yunnan on the TV was in high spirits as he visited the orphans in Hongye City and sent things to the elderly.

Many bungalows have been built in the fringe area recently. These houses, which are neatly arranged in rows on this land, were distributed to those who had no houses for free.

A thin old man with tears in his eyes murmured: “This is the first time in my life that I have lived in such a nice house…”

Xie Yunnan lowered his head and spoke to the old man gently.

Watching the scene on TV, Liao Xingyuan’s heart was sour and astringent.

Once upon a time, Xie Yunnan was very kind to him, much better than to this old man, but now… Xie Yunnan has completely forgotten about him, right?

When he first came here, he actually hated Xie Yunnan and felt that Xie Yunnan was too cold-blooded. But after staying here for a long time, he realized how hard it is to make money. And after learning about the changes in Hongye City, he couldn’t help but start to think, whether it was his family that was wrong.

“It’s all acting. How can a broken house be the best house he’s ever lived in?” A young man about the same age as Liao Xingyuan sneered.

Liao Xingyuan glanced at him, and suddenly remembered that he once thought the same way. It was not until he ran away from home and went to the fringe area that he knew what kind of life the people there had.

But at that time, he only disliked those people, thinking that they lived like that for a reason.

Until he saw those people who he considered hopeless, practicing exercises earnestly every day; many of them became warriors.

“Do they want to brainwash us with these videos? Is this a joke? People in the fringes are lazy, like to steal things, and every time they are hired to work, there will be an accident… They are just scum that can’t be helped! It’s impossible for them to be so hardworking! We donated money every year to support them, and they never lacked food!”

Some of the people born in these big families have changed their deep-rooted ideas like Liao Xingyuan, but there are also many who persisted with their original views.

As soon as Shao Qilin was brought in, he heard such a comment.

In fact, he had heard a lot of words like this before. At that time, he was ashamed that he was born in a fringe area, and would go along with such words to please others.

But at this moment… he suddenly burst out. “You guys like stealing things, you guys are lazy! If you were born in the fringe area, you will only be worse than them!”

Shao Qilin said, and rushed over to grab the other person’s hair, wanting to fight. But as an ordinary person, he didn’t stand a chance against the low-level warrior.

Fortunately, a guard next to them stopped it. “Fighting is prohibited!”

Can’t fight here? Does that mean the man can’t beat him? Realizing this, Shao Qilin suddenly yelled, and a plethora of foul words came out one after another.

There is no one born in the fringe area who can’t scold people. Although he pretended to be pure in Holy City all these years, he didn’t lose any of his scolding skills.

Those from the big families were stunned from the vitriolic scolding. If they hadn’t eaten the medicine that prevented them from releasing their companion beasts, and stopped by the guards, they would have beaten Shao Qilin to death.

In the end, Shao Qilin burst into tears. He just wanted to live a good life – why is it so difficult?

——–

Xie Yunnan didn’t know what happened on Shao Qilin’s side, but Duan Changqing heard about it. Peng Qisheng told him, and he also told him about Liao Xingyuan.

Because Duan Changqing asked about Liao Xingyuan before, Peng Qisheng took the initiative to pay attention to this person.

Peng Qisheng has great enthusiasm for pleasing Duan Changqing.

He also took the initiative to help Duan Changqing pay attention to the Ghost King and Lu Xiaoran, but was scolded by Duan Changqing, and he didn’t report anything about these two people again.

Hearing the news, Duan Changqing said, “Come and help me.”

He was preparing herbal medicines and preparing a medicinal bath.

This medicated bath can enhance physical fitness, and the prescription is not fixed, as long as it can be used.

He gathered plants for a long time. Not only did he pick the spiritual plants himself, but he also asked Meng Yan and the others to pick them. Finally, he had collected enough spiritual plants to fully restore his body.

Next, with the medicated bath and exercise, and eating more exotic animal meat, he should soon be able to have the body of his dreams!

After Duan Changqing finished the preparations, he let Peng Qisheng leave and lay down in the bathtub by himself.

The medicinal properties and spiritual power merged together in his body… Duan Changqing could feel that his body recovering.

“Changqing?” As soon as Xie Yunnan came back, he saw Duan Changqing lying in the bathtub with his eyes closed, and cried out worriedly.

Duan Changqing opened his eyes.

Xie Yunnan calmed down and asked again, “What are you doing?”

Duan Changqing said, “I’m taking a medicinal bath, which is good for the body.”

“En. I have the next six days off, and I can help you find exotic plants.” Xie Yunnan said.

Duan Changqing smiled. “I have enough, don’t worry.” With that, he took advantage of Xie Yunnan’s lack of awareness and pulled him into the bathtub. Between kisses, he said, “Let’s continue practicing the new exercises?”

Xie Yunnan’s face flushed.

Practicing every day, is Duan Changqing not afraid of his body being overwhelmed?

Well, Duan Changqing is not afraid. The more they practiced, the more energetic he was.

Duan Changqing and Xie Yunnan stayed in the room for a day and a night before going out to have New Years dinner with the Ghost King.

The Ghost King called Xia Qing, Lu Xiaoran, and a few others he raised. There were more than a dozen people in the group, and it was very lively.

During the banquet, Xie Yunnan and Duan Changqing both buried themselves in eating.

They were busy all day and night and were hungry.

Duan Changqing’s appetite is even more amazing.

Lu Xiaoran kept looking at Xia Qing at first, attentively peeling shrimp for her and picking food, but later… his eyes were drawn to Duan Changqing.

Isn’t this Duan Changqing eating too much?!

Inwardly, Lu Xiaoran felt curious, but outwardly his face was calm as he stared at Duan Changqing with a drown.

Xia Qing, whose attitude towards Lu Xiaoran has softened recently because she liked his face: “…” What does this guy want to do?

Lu Xiaoran asked Duan Changqing: “How do you eat so much?”

Duan Changqing said: “Talent.”

Lu Xiaoran: “…”

While they were eating, Elder Bai took a boat and approached Hongye City.

Gazing in the direction of Hongye City, Elder Bai recalled the past.

His little master is not in good health and always eats very little. He’s only willing to take a few more bites of his favorite foods, and doesn’t like eating meat.

He looked down at the picture of the little master. Although the little master looks healthy now, he’s still very thin and delicate. He’s afraid that he’s still a picky eater. Whether Xie Yunnan can prepare the things he likes to eat is unknown.

Elder Bai is eager to see Duan Changqing, but according to the information in Holy City, the Ghost King is very strong…

If he rashly goes over and provokes a conflict, maybe a fight would break out. It doesn’t matter if he’s hurt, but if he accidentally hurts the litter master…

After thinking about it, he decided to contact Wen Che first.

Duan Changqing, who Elder Bai was worrying over, swept away the exotic beast meat on the table, and then went to devour the things others refused to eat.

After eating and drinking, Duan Changqing was ready to go back and take a medicated bath.

On the way back, he bumped into Wen Che.

In the winter, Wen Che was alone in the yard, burning paper money.

Duan Changqing wondered: “What are you doing?”

Wen Che said, “Burning something for the High Priest.” As he said, he took out a plate of fried vegetables and placed it by the fire, and said to the fire, “High Priest, this is your favorite food, try it.”

Duan Changqing: “…”

Duan Changqing thought for a while, sat down, also took the paper from the side, and put it into the fire.

The High Priest is really dead.

Wen Che rambled on, wishing the High Priest a good life in the next life.

Duan Changqing heard the words and said something similar.

Xie Yunnan, who knew everything, squatted beside him and burned paper money silently.

After the three burned the paper money, Wen Che said, “Thank you.”

He felt that Duan Changqing and Xie Yunnan are really good people.

He captured Duan Changqing before and almost killed them, but Duan Changqing saved him regardless of his previous suspicion…

They’re not related to the High Priest, yet are willing to pay their respects to the High Priest with him.

After Wen Che finished paying his respects, he returned to his room, and discovered the message from Elder Bai.

Knowing that Elder Bai was coming, Wen Che immediately went out to find Elder Bai.

“Elder Bai, why are you here?” Wen Che asked as soon as he saw Mr. Bai.

He was afraid that Elder Bai was here for Xie Yunnan. If Elder Bai was like him, and came to ask Xie Yunnan about the whereabouts of the High Priest, but Xie Yunnan couldn’t tell…

Whether Xie Yunnan was injured by Elder Bai in the end, or Elder Bai was beaten down by Duan Changqing, neither were things he wanted to see.

“I’m here to find the little master.” Elder Bai only brought a few people he trusted most, so he had no trouble speaking directly.

Elder Bai really came for the High Priest… Wen Che said, “Elder Bai, I haven’t found the body of the High Priest yet, but Xie Yunnan really has nothing to do with him…”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Elder Bai was annoyed to hear him talking about the body!

Wen Che continued speaking for Xie Yunnan: “The improvement of Xie Yunnan’s strength has nothing to do with the High Priest…”

“How can they have no relationship! They’re married!” Elder Bai said.

As someone who knew more about the High Priest’s situation, Elder Bai knew that Xie Yunnan didn’t get any inheritance, but… he definitely got some benefits.

Otherwise, how could he become a High Priest so quickly?

As long as a priest stays by the High Priest’s side, their strength will increase faster than usual.

Of course, Xie Yunnan’s fast progression should also be because his talent is quite high.

Wen Che didn’t react for a while.

Elder Bai said again: “He is alive and well. What corpse? Aren’t you cursing him?”

Wen Che stared blankly at Elder Bai: “The High Priest is still alive?”

Elder Bai said: “Of course?”

“Then where is he?” Wincher asked.

Elder Bai had realized that Wen Che didn’t recognize Duan Changqing, and that he had never seen the true face of his little master.

His little master is very weak. At first, he let the little master wear a mask all the time, hoping that no one would know the little master, so that if something happens in the future, the little master will be able to live in another identity after taking off the mask. .

Now his little master actually lives like this.

Elder Bai didn’t hide it from Wen Che any longer. “He is Duan Changqing.”

Wen Che was dumbfounded.

Duan Changqing is the High Priest? Not long ago, didn’t he burn paper money for the High Priest with him?

Ahahaha, DCQ the new big stomach king.
