Chapter 371: Good and evil are difficult to distinguish, and there is no fault in imposing one’s wil
"Come back?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Do you think she'll come back? Why?"
Ma Xianhong smiled and did not answer directly, but pointed around.
"What do you think of my Biyou Village?"
"A paradise on earth." Su Chen said concisely.
"Yes, a paradise on earth." Ma Xianhong's eyes flashed with pride.
“Here, there is no dispute, no oppression, and everyone can live as they wish.
Chen Duo...even though she has lost her memory, deep down in her heart, she longs for a place like this."
"So you think she'll eventually come back here and seek asylum?"
There was a hint of doubt in Su Chen's tone.
"It's not about seeking shelter, but finding a home." Ma Xianhong corrected.
“Chen Duo…is different from the others.
What she needs is not power, nor glory.
It’s a place where she can be accepted and feel safe.”
Su Chen was silent.
He thought of Chen Duo's life experience and the inhuman treatment she had suffered in the Medicine Fairy Society.
Thinking of her longing for "home".
Perhaps what Ma Xianhong said is right.
"You seem to know Chen Duo very well." Su Chen said.
"I understand everyone." Ma Xianhong's eyes became deep.
“Everyone who comes to Biyou Village has their own difficulties and wishes.
All I do is help them realize their dreams.”
"Including those who were transformed into mutants by you?" Su Chen's voice became cold.
Ma Xianhong's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"That's a...necessary change," he said.
“In order to create a better world, someone has to pay the price.”
"Your so-called 'better world' is built on sacrificing others?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Su Chen's tone.
"I..." Ma Xianhong was speechless for a moment.
"I understand your original intention, but I cannot agree with your method." Su Chen interrupted the other party.
"You impose your will on others, depriving them of their freedom and choice, which is a sin in itself."
"Sin..." Ma Xianhong muttered to himself, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
"Could it be... am I really wrong? Impossible!"
"Whether you are wrong or not is not for me to judge." Su Chen said.
"But if you really care about Chen Duo, you shouldn't force her to do anything she doesn't want to do."
Ma Xianhong was silent.
He looked at Su Chen, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"Okay, I've said what I need to say."
Su Chen stood up and prepared to leave, "I hope you can think about it carefully."
"Wait." Ma Xianhong suddenly called him.
Su Chen stopped and looked back at Ma Xianhong.
"Who...are you?" Ma Xianhong asked.
"You seem to have a very special power."
Su Chen didn't answer, but just smiled faintly.
"I can feel it," Ma Xianhong continued.
“You…are different from those ordinary aliens.
You... are hiding a big secret."
"Everyone has secrets." Su Chen said,
"That's not surprising."
"No, your secret is different." Ma Xianhong shook his head.
"Your secret is... dangerous."
"Really?" Su Chen was noncommittal. "So what?"
"I'm just curious."
Ma Xianhong played with the magic weapon in his hand, his fingertips gently stroking the unfinished patterns on it.
"who are you?"
Su Chen did not answer, but just looked at Ma Xianhong quietly, his eyes so deep that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"I can feel it," Ma Xianhong seemed to be lost in some memories, and his tone became a little vague.
“You…are different from those ordinary aliens.
You... are hiding a big secret."
He paused, raised his head, and stared at Su Chen with burning eyes:
“Your secret is… dangerous.
But I can feel that you and I...maybe we are the same kind of people."
The corners of Su Chen's mouth slightly raised, outlining an elusive arc:
"The same kind of people? Does Village Chief Ma mean that he has multiple superpowers, or that he is dissatisfied with the existing order?"
"Everyone has secrets, it's not surprising."
Su Chen changed his tone and asked back,
"Isn't it the same for Village Chief Ma?"
Ma Xianhong suddenly laughed, and the laughter echoed in the empty secret room, which seemed a little abrupt, but also a little relieved:
"Hahahaha, well said! Everyone has secrets!
People like you and me are destined to be incomprehensible to the secular world."
He walked to the workbench and picked up an unfinished magic weapon.
The shape of the magic weapon was strange and its specific purpose could not be seen, but there were faint fluctuations of Qi on the surface and a faint glow flowing.
"You know what? I noticed you at the Luotian Grand Ceremony."
Ma Xianhong's voice is deep and magnetic, as if he is telling an ancient story.
His slender fingers gently stroked the surface of the instrument, as if he was touching a precious work of art:
"The power you have displayed is far more than just one... You have more than just one Eight Great Techniques, right?"
His eyes were fixed on Su Chen again, with a look of inquiry, a hint of expectation, and a kind of... indescribable fanaticism.
Su Chen still did not give a direct answer, but just asked back calmly:
"What does Village Chief Ma think?"
Ma Xianhong didn't care about Su Chen's avoidance. He just kept talking to himself:
"The Eight Great Techniques...are the most advanced and mysterious powers in the alien world."
"Each of the Eight Great Skills represents a certain extreme, a certain understanding of the Tao."
He paused, with a hint of emotion in his tone.
"For many years, countless people have paid all costs to pursue the Eight Great Skills, and even... lost themselves."
"And you..." Ma Xianhong's eyes became sharp.
"You actually possess multiple Eight Great Techniques. This is simply... incredible!"
He put down the magic weapon in his hand and slowly walked to Su Chen, his eyes flashing with fanaticism:
"Tell me, how did you do that?"
"How do you harness these powers?
Aren't you afraid of conflict between them?"
Su Chen looked at Ma Xianhong's almost crazy eyes and was secretly alert.
He knew that Ma Xianhong had fallen into a paranoid state, which was very dangerous.
"Old Ma," Su Chen spoke slowly, his tone calm and firm.
"Power itself is neither good nor evil. What matters is who uses it."
"I don't control them, I just... coexist with them."
"Coexistence?" Ma Xianhong frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer.
"How can we coexist? Aren't you afraid of being attacked by them?"
"The backlash of power often stems from inner greed and fear." Su Chen said,
"As long as you keep your true heart, you won't be controlled by power."
“My true intention…”
Ma Xianhong muttered to himself, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Ma Xianhong was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "You can go."
"Huh?" Su Chen was a little surprised.
"Go away," Ma Xianhong repeated.
"Leave Biyou Village and never come back."
"Why?" Su Chen asked.
"Because you are too dangerous." Ma Xianhong said,
"The power in you is too strong, strong enough to threaten my plan!"
