Chapter 155: Why complicate it so much?

However, Xiao Tianyang felt a bit displeased upon hearing this and immediately retorted in his hoarse voice, "It's survival of the fittest—why complicate it so much?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi, Tang San, and Xiao Wu all turned to look at him.

Unfazed, Xiao Tianyang continued, "The same principle can be understood in reverse. As a soul master, you know that one person can defeat an entire army. So, you should understand that to change anything, all you need is enough strength—strength so overwhelming that no one dares to oppose your will!"

He then turned his gaze to Tang San and added in a deep voice, "While you're young, you should do as you please, rather than hesitating before taking action."

"But have you ever thought about what will happen to these waiters after he acts?" Ning Fengzhi, standing nearby, maintained his calm smile, his serene expression exuding comfort.

Xiao Tianyang glanced at him and said, "If you don't learn, isn't this simple? Those waiters are young now and still have a chance to rise. If they wait until they're old, it will truly be too late for them."

Ning Fengzhi was momentarily stunned, then clapped his hands and smiled. "This friend has a good point. It seems I was indeed not thoughtful enough."

In truth, it wasn't that Ning Fengzhi couldn't think of this; he was simply constrained by conventional thinking, which led him to discourage Tang San earlier. However, when someone presents a different perspective, it's easy to recognize its validity—especially since Ning Fengzhi isn't a domineering person by nature.

At this moment, Tang San frowned and muttered, "The how can we help them return to a normal life?" His voice was soft, and his head was lowered, as if he were questioning himself rather than seeking an answer.

But Xiao Tianyang was happy to respond. "It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Do you understand?"

"Fish? What fish?" Xiao Wu, sitting beside Tang San, frowned in confusion. Her head shook like a rattle as she admitted, "I don't understand."

Tang San, however, seemed to grasp the meaning. He stood up and cupped his hands respectfully. "Thank you, sir, for your guidance. I now understand what I must do."

Xiao Tianyang simply nodded slightly and said nothing more. If he were speaking in his own capacity, he might have added, "This child is teachable." But alas, he was currently posing as Edward, not Xiao Tianyang.

"Teaching a man to fish is indeed better than giving him a fish!" Ning Fengzhi clapped his hands after pondering the words. "My friend, your insight is truly extraordinary. I admire you."

'Hmph, there will be more times in the future when you'll admire me,' Xiao Tianyang thought to himself before turning his attention back to the center of the stage.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu let out a gasp and pointed at Xiao Tianyang. "I knew you looked familiar! You're Edward from the Whitebeard team!" After blurting this out, she quickly covered her mouth, her eyes filled with panic.

To this day, she hadn't forgotten the scene of Xiao Tianyang killing seven soul masters in the Great Soul Fighting Arena. His methods were nothing short of ruthless!

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San quickly pulled her behind him and apologized to Xiao Tianyang. "I'm sorry, Mr. Edward. We didn't mean to reveal your identity..."

"It's fine. Not many people know me anyway," Xiao Tianyang replied indifferently. His words were truthful, devoid of any modesty. After all, being a champion in a city's Great Soul Arena wasn't particularly special.

Teams like the Vicious God Team and the God Killing Team, which were once highly popular, were also only famous locally. But what became of them? One fell from grace in less than three minutes, and the other was outright killed.

Sometimes, fame isn't everything. The higher you climb, the harder you fall.

After being forgiven, Xiao Wu bowed slightly and apologized again.

Although both sides had killed people in the past, the nature of their actions was different.

In Xiao Wu's eyes, when Xiao Tianyang posed as Edward, he killed people as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs, treating human life as insignificant. To her, such a person was either a lunatic or a pervert.

Ning Fengzhi, meanwhile, was slightly surprised by Xiao Tianyang's identity.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't pay attention to such a minor figure. However, with his precious daughter at Shrek Academy, he couldn't help but take notice.

Ning Fengzhi was well-informed about everything happening around Ning Rongrong, and this incident had indeed shocked his intelligence network.

Still, he remained silent, only thinking to himself, 'It's rumored that this Edward isn't even 16 years old. I wonder if that's true...'

By the time Xiao Tianyang arrived, there wasn't much time left before the official auction began.

The conversation among the group had already consumed most of the remaining time. As soon as the discussion ended, the auction below officially commenced.

Most of the items up for bid didn't interest Xiao Tianyang, but one lot did catch his attention—a girl with an extremely striking figure. However, with so many women already around him, he found it difficult to act on his interest.

Interestingly, Ning Fengzhi ended up purchasing the girl for 20 gold soul coins.

'Could it be that you want to give Rongrong a stepmother?' Xiao Tianyang thought to himself, unable to suppress a smirk.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, curled her lips and teased, "Uncle, you look so dignified, but it seems you have other intentions."

Ning Fengzhi blushed slightly at her words. Being mocked by a child was truly embarrassing. He could only smile wryly and explain, "Didn't you notice the fear in her eyes when she was locked up? She was terrified of everything around her."

"So what?" Xiao Wu asked, still puzzled. Was he trying to change the subject to salvage his image?

"If there's fear, it means she still has emotions. Her eyes were clear, without a trace of resentment, which means she was only recently captured," Ning Fengzhi explained with a smile. "Someone like her can still live independently. And if she stays, she has the potential to learn. I have the means to liberate her and provide her with a good environment. Don't you think my reasoning is justified?"

"Sorry, Uncle," Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue. "You didn't explain clearly at first, so I was confused."

Seeing her adorable expression, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but laugh, reminded of his own daughter. "It's alright. It was just a misunderstanding. As long as it's resolved, everything's fine."
