Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1701 - 1690: Grand Council Reform

"How would I know if there are good people, bad people, hypocrites, or gentlemen in this world..."Ning Fan secretly complained to himself. If Andrew hadn't come out, he might have collapsed under the pressure of these questions.

"Let's go back."

Upon hearing these words, Ning Fan felt a stir in his heart.

The matter was over, and it seemed he could return to his homeland.

Andrew seemed to see through his thoughts and suddenly asked, "Are you thinking of returning home?"

Ning Fan nodded, "It's almost time to go back."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Andrew frowned, as he was planning to either invite the Prince over or take Ning Fan to the headquarters of the Morgan Family.

Ning Fan, possessing Holy Power, was already scary enough, not to mention he also had Anti-Magic means.

If such a person cannot be befriended, Andrew wouldn't deserve the title of an old fox.

"Ning Fan originally came to save people. If he just goes back like this, this bit of friendship might fade away with time."

Thinking of this, Andrew pondered to himself, "I still need to discuss it with William."

The next morning, while Ning Fan was having his morning tea and watching the street view, William and Andrew came over.

The first thing they asked was, "Ning Fan, we heard you're going back home today?"

Ning Fan laughed, "That's the plan, but not right now."

Although the Blood Fang Tribe bachelors admitted defeat, Ning Fan was worried about unexpected events, so he decided to stay a few more days and gather more information.

William breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I thought we weren't hospitable enough."

Ning Fan laughed, "How could that be? I, Ning Fan, will always remember the friendship of Philip and Morgan. We are friends, aren't we?"

"Yes! We are friends."

After a bit of small talk, Ning Fan suddenly asked, "There's something I want to ask you two Grand Dukes."

"No need to be formal, just ask."

"I wonder how much you know about the Exorcism Association?"

"We're certainly not unfamiliar with the Exorcism Association."

William nodded and then asked, "What do you want to know?"

"I heard that the Exorcism Association is a global organization, with Hunters from all over the world."

"That's right. Besides humans, some Alien Clans have also joined."

"Alien Clans?"

Ning Fan felt a wave of confusion in his eyes.

The original purpose of the Exorcism Association was to eliminate Alien Clans outside of humans, so how could there be Alien Clans joining?

"Just like our Blood Clan is divided into the Secret Party and the Demon Party, Alien Clans are also divided into two camps, Order and Chaos. From some perspectives, our Secret Party belongs to the Order camp."

"The Alien Clans exterminated by the Exorcism Association belong to the Chaos camp. And it's not just Alien Clans; some humans in the Chaos camp are also on the Exorcism Association's hit list."

With William's explanation, Ning Fan finally understood what kind of organization the Exorcism Association was.

Anyone who lives peacefully with humans and doesn't commit heinous acts, whether human cultivators or Alien Clans, all belong to the Order camp.

The opposite of that is chaos.

The Exorcism Association is like an intermediary organization, with a diverse group of members and does not question their backgrounds.

As long as they pass the assessment, even Alien Clans from the Order camp can join.

The Exorcism Association adopts a paid bounty system, where they periodically issue tasks.

Depending on the strength of the extermination targets, they release different levels of bounties.

Bounties include not only money but also considerable cultivation resources.

In the Exorcism Association, besides a very few people with a sense of justice, all other Hunters can be said to be in it for the bounties.

They not only gain a sense of moral righteousness but also practical benefits, which attracts many members, including Alien Clans.

Ning Fan asked curiously, "Then who provides the funding behind the scenes?"

"Some Order camps, reclusive families, and even some countries that know the truth."

Andrew added, "In the past, the Exorcism Association's funds primarily relied on the Sanctuary of Light."

"Does that mean it's no longer needed now?"

Ning Fan immediately grasped the core issue.

"The Exorcism Association was established largely by the Sanctuary of Light."

At this, a trace of mockery flashed in William's eyes, "But now the Exorcism Association and the Sanctuary of Light have diverged, almost like strangers."

Ning Fan asked with curiosity, "Why?"

"It's a matter of ideology."

William explained, "When the Exorcism Association was established, it aimed to exterminate Alien Clans. But later, their high-ranking leaders thought if Alien Clans could coexist peacefully with humans, why not give them a chance?"

At this moment, Andrew sighed, "They say Alien Clans are the original sin of evil, but some humans are more wicked than us."

Ning Fan nodded, "Indeed. Dividing good and evil by race is unreliable."

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in William's eyes, and he continued, "Since then, the Exorcism Association categorizes its target missions by camps; any cultivators who harm and do evil are all on their target list. This ideology contradicts the Sanctuary of Light's creed. Hence, they drifted apart."

"So, is the Exorcism Association considered a righteous organization?"

Realizing this, Ning Fan couldn't help but ask, "Hasn't the Exorcism Association seized private benefits?"

Ning Fan truly doubted if there were truly selfless people in this world.

Behind public selflessness often lies private self-interest.

"I can't give an answer to that."

William shook his head, with a hint of admiration, and said,

"According to our investigation, after the Exorcism Association reformed, all targets on their mission list were truly heinous characters, and there have been no instances of unjust killings."

In the Medieval period, influenced by the Sanctuary of Light, Exorcism Association Hunters had only one attitude towards Alien Clans: trade their heads for bounties.

William's mention of unjust killings referred to those aloof Alien Clans.

Andrew sneered, "It's precisely because of this that we haven't taken action against the Exorcism Association, otherwise... haha."

The power of the Alien Clans is enormous; the Sanctuary of Light's ability to suppress them mainly lies in the fearsome Power of Prayers and Holy Power.

The Exorcism Association, merely an affiliate of the Sanctuary of Light, would naturally not be a match for the Alien Clans.

"Perhaps the Exorcism Association's reform also realized this point."

Seeing Ning Fan silent, William couldn't help but say, "In fact, other than racial barriers, we are no different from humans. The vast majority of Alien Clans just want to live quietly and peacefully."

On this matter, William hid some facts.

Since the Exorcism Association's reform, some families in the Secret Party have been secretly providing funds to the Exorcism Association.

The Secret Party also harbors hatred towards those evil Alien Clans.

Because the Secret Party hopes that one day, they can live openly and peacefully with humans, rather than facing fearful hostility.

Of course, the Secret Party families would not harm their kind; they have an agreement with the Exorcism Association.
