At this moment, Shen Qiu and Long Er heard two customers complaining while drinking at the bar outside.

"You said life is really unfair. How come people can live in the City of Sinking Star since they were born, but we can only stay here."

"Don't be discouraged. Didn't you just fail to apply for immigration? Come back next time."

"Those reviewers really looked down on others and made me so angry."

"I can't help it. People feel that they are inherently superior and are not in the same circle."

When Shen Qiu heard this, he lowered his voice thoughtfully and chatted with Long Er.

"Long Er, you said that everyone is from the Red Alliance, why do you have to create so many circles? It is indeed a bit unfair to the people below."

Long Er picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for Shen Qiu, and asked calmly.

"What is fairness? How do you know that the so-called circle is not fair?"

"Tsk, tsk, you'll get scolded if you say that."

"Throughout history, have you ever noticed that those circles look like an ending era?"

"this"

Shen Qiu was stunned. He thought carefully from the eighth city to the first city. Each city seemed to be part of a different historical process.

"If you compare circles to ponds, then some ponds are filled with shrimps, some are filled with fish, and some are filled with sharks. When you are not strong enough, jump from one pond to another. What will happen? The times are progressing, and the strong will always be strong. There will always be people who cannot keep up with the pace of the times, and will eventually become the harvest targets of the strong. As for the so-called circle, you seem to be a constraint, but it is not a kind of protection! It not only restrains the people below, but also restrains the people above."

"But this also limits the people in the circle and cuts off their upward path."

Shen Qiu pondered and replied.

"If you don't even have the ability to break the circle, then what qualifications do you have to say that I can survive in the upper circle. The truly strong will not be constrained by these barriers."

Long Er explained calmly.

"Hey, you are right, but isn't the situation different now? The cities below are not very safe. They are often attacked and it is very difficult to deal with them. Moreover, the Red Alliance's support for the cities below is also very average."

"In fact, after the city below was attacked, the Red Alliance did its best to send out all the experts who could support it. There were no extra manpower available."

"That's wrong! How could there be no masters? When the City of Sinking Star was attacked, weren't there a lot of masters?"

Shen Qiu asked curiously.

"This is the saddest part."

Long Er said with some emotion.

"Wait a minute, you want to say that interests come first?"

Shen Qiu suddenly reacted and said.

"That's right, profit comes first. Who would be willing to do it without profit? Did you see Chu Wuji, Lei Jing and others showing up when the City of Clear Sky was attacked?"

Long Er asked calmly.

When Shen Qiu heard this, she also resonated with Long Er's words.

Isn't this the same as what I worried about at the time?

"Is there no way to change the current situation?"

Shen Qiu pondered and asked.

"It's not that simple. What the Red League can do now is to balance all aspects and try to guide everything on the right track."

Long Er said calmly.

"If that's the case, then why not consider cutting off the disobedient ones?"

Shen Qiu asked curiously.

"There has to be a reason to cut them, right? Otherwise, who would be convinced? Everything they do is within the rules. Just because they are developing well, you cut them for no reason? In other words, if the Red Alliance cuts you for no reason , are you willing?"

"Then I definitely don't want to."

"Yes, you are not willing, how can they be willing? The world is full of contradictions, and there are many contradictions within the Red League. Some people complain that the people above are occupying resources and wealth, and some complain that the Red League has too many rules and regulations, which affects them Fair competition means there is no way to develop as you wish. Do you think they are wrong? In fact, they are both right, it’s just that their respective positions are different.”

"I understand that when looking at anything, you have to stand from the perspective of different people, so that you can see the essence of things."

"That's right."

Long Er looked at Shen Qiu with more admiration.

"Suppose, for example, if you had the opportunity to sit on it, what would you do?"

Shen Qiu asked with interest.

"Of course we are trying our best to balance everything, unite everyone, cope with future crises, and strive to make life less difficult for everyone."

Long Er pondered for a moment and gave his answer.

When Shen Qiu heard this, he looked at Long Er, who was calm and full of ideals, and his eyes were a little dazed for a moment.

At this moment, he seemed to think of a figure. That person had said similar words. Unfortunately, when he woke up from the dream, the person disappeared.

"What are you thinking about?"

Long Er poured Shen Qiu a glass of wine.

Shen Qiu took a sip of wine and changed the subject to Long Er.

"I feel like you're not normal today. I don't usually see you so calm and deep."

Shen Qiu said this from the bottom of his heart. He had gotten along with Long Er before, except for the first time they met. After that, he always felt like he was being led astray.

But today I feel like I've been dialed back again.

"Really? Which one do you think is better?"

Long Er asked with a smile.

"It's all good. By the way, you have such a broad vision. I just have a question to ask you. Can you help me clarify it?"

"Say it."

"What do you mean by life?"

Shen Qiu asked Long Er.

When Long Er heard Shen Qiu's question, he hesitated slightly and looked at Shen Qiu in surprise.

"Why do you suddenly want to ask this question?"

He was very curious now. Shen Qiu asked if this question was a coincidence or if there were other factors.

"Oh, it was a test given to me by an elder. I never figured it out."

Shen Qiu immediately explained.

When Long Er heard this, he asked in a deep voice.

"Your elder? What's his name?"

"Dean Zhao Anyuan, do you have any questions?"

Shen Qiu asked curiously.

When Long Er heard the name, he immediately stood up and said to Shen Qiu.

"I have something else to do, so I'll just drink here today."

"Hey, you just left like this. How can I find you when I get back? Give me your contact information."

"We will meet again if we are destined."

Long Er didn't stop and walked straight out of the tavern.

Shen Qiu touched his forehead. This guy was doing this again. He couldn't find anyone when he came back, so he couldn't help but sigh.

"Why!"

Then Shen Qiu picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He also stood up and walked out. He had to go to the city lord's mansion.

Bai Lanxin is probably still waiting.

Soon after, Shen Qiu appeared at the door of the city lord's mansion.

Bai Lanxin was seen standing at the door, showing a hairy smile and looking straight at Shen Qiu.

"What a coincidence?"

Shen Qiu said with an awkward smile.

"What a coincidence? I'm sorry, I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Bai Lanxin was so angry that she was about to burst out, but luckily she suppressed it and kept hinting to herself that she couldn't get angry because she would scare people away and her work would be in vain.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I really had something to do at the last moment, and I ran into a friend I haven't seen for a long time."

Shen Qiu quickly explained.
