"We can't afford it. So those things, to us, simply have no use at all."

"And those who can afford it are the rich people. These rich people, from the very beginning, hire us poor people to work for them. But when they bought those things, they found that using them is even more convenient and cheaper than hiring poor people, so they stop using us."

"As a result, not all poor people have land or an income source. These poor people can only think of other ways and eventually become beggars."

"In our village, there are many such poor people who used to work for those rich people. But later, they couldn't even find jobs."

"They can't provide for their families; the wives they married all left. Even those who really wanted to stay had no food and ended up starving to death, with no way to treat their sicknesses."

"Even... even..."

Hui Hui paused here, as if her mind conjured images she couldn't bear to describe, but in the end, she forced herself to say:

"In our village, there are some people whose husbands couldn't find work, and they sold their bodies in exchange for some food because they were a bit attractive. I... I think her intentions were good; she even gave me some food back then."

"But when she returned, she was beaten and scolded. Some people in the village insulted her for being indecent, shameless. Even her husband felt she wasn't a good girl or a good woman, didn't want her anymore, and beat and scolded her."

Hui Hui's eyes were now somewhat red, and tears welled up in her eyes: "But, but she didn't leave the man when he was at his poorest. She just wanted to earn some food. Even if her method was wrong, what was her fault?"

"In the end, no one could accept her. She jumped into the river and died."

After saying this, the young girl's body had started trembling.

She didn't speak again, only staring straight ahead, but Wang Ye could clearly sense the sadness in her heart.

And her inability to understand certain things.

Listening to the young girl's words, Wang Ye felt a blockage in his heart, an uncomfortable feeling.

While on Earth Star, even if there were some poor people, because of Long Qingtian's good governance, those poor people could still live without worry and have enough to eat.

Coming to Spirit Star, Wang Ye felt that Spirit Star was more developed in some respects than Earth Star, so he assumed that the people here lived better than those on Earth Star.

But to Wang Ye's surprise, it wasn't the case.

At this moment, in a strict sense, Spirit Star was actually comparable to the world a few hundred years ago on Earth Star.

The Sorcerer's Guild?

Wang Ye pondered.

Previously, Wang Ye only thought about preserving the Wei City Mage Guild.

But now, Wang Ye had more ambitious ideas.

Wang Ye thought that perhaps he could directly become the head of the Sorcerer's Headquarters.

To oversee the entire Sorcerer's Guild on Spirit Star.

He wanted every ordinary person to have the ability to use the tools made by magicians.

Instead of allowing magicians' creations to become tools for capital to exploit others.

"Don't worry."

Wang Ye gently placed his hand on Hui Hui's shoulder and spoke to her in an incredibly gentle voice: "You have to believe me, I will solve these problems."

"I don't know how long it will take, but as long as I'm alive, one day in the future, the things you just mentioned will never happen again."

Wang Ye's tone was very firm.

Since arriving at Spirit Star, Wang Ye had never interacted with people at the bottom.

Because of Wang Ye's powerful abilities, he mostly saw positive aspects.

Even when he saw bad people like Wang Yan and Sun Wan, Wang Ye felt it wasn't mainly related to the system.

The real issue was about people.

But now, through his interaction with Hui Hui, Wang Ye truly realized where the problems lay.

"Really?"

Hui Hui turned her head, and as she had been facing forward, the tears that had been lingering in her eyes finally fell and streamed down her face when she looked at Wang Ye.

So when Hui Hui looked at Wang Ye, there were tear traces left in her eyes.

"Of course it's true!"

Wang Ye nodded and spoke. His expression was very determined. At this moment, even though Wang Ye was looking at the face of a Money Leopard, it no longer appeared comical but instead carried a seriousness.

The young girl could even see from Wang Ye's expression the "responsibilities" and "burdens" often spoken about by the people in the village.

This completely reassured the young girl about Wang Ye.

She utterly believed in Wang Ye at this moment.

The young girl extended her fingers, though very young, they were filled with calluses due to frequent work, providing a sense of weariness just from looking at them despite her tender age.

Yet, when Wang Ye looked at the young girl's hands, he didn't find them unsightly; instead, he felt they were the gentlest, most innocent hands in the world.

"Let's pinky promise."

Hui Hui wanted to make the most sincere agreement with Wang Ye in the most innocent way.

"Alright, let's pinky promise."

Wang Ye smiled.

Not at Hui Hui's childishness, but at the sincerity beneath that innocence and the way she embodied kindness and beauty.

The young man's hand and the young girl's fingertips hooked together, moving up and down in the sunlight. Wang Ye even imprinted some of the Power of the Great Dao into it, letting it remember the promise between him and the young girl.

The young girl's tender voice emerged from her throat:

"Pinky promise, hang yourself, a hundred years without lying, whoever lies is a puppy."

Such childish words.

Wang Ye reflected.

Still, he was determined to make a genuine effort to uphold these innocent words and keep his promises.
