Chapter 239
Princess Haitang first showed an expression of disbelief on her face, then she covered her mouth and burst into laughter, raising her voice and asking back, "You actually said that being selfish is not wrong? Don't you know that what I am doing will hurt others? What I am doing now will cause the world to perish, and you are no exception. Even so, you still say such a ridiculous joke as being selfish is not wrong?"
"Preaching is really hard work. Qi Ming is better at it. Anyway, let's calm her down first." Le Zheng Shui Ling sighed softly and said, "Selfishness itself is not a sin. Everyone has their own standpoint and interests. In some cases, people may make some seemingly selfish choices for their own benefit, which will not really harm..."
Before Le Zheng Shui Ling could finish, she sneered again and retorted: "If you say so, what will the world become if everyone only thinks about themselves? Indifferent, selfish, ruthless... Is this what you want?"
"Alas, what am I arguing with her about? If she hadn't been supporting Sukhamodhi, I would have cracked the whip long ago." Le Zheng Shuiling was silent for a moment, thinking of what Le Zheng Yuhua had said, and then slowly said: "This world is not black and white, human nature is very complicated.
Being selfish does not mean completely disregarding the interests of others, but finding a balance between our own interests and the interests of others. We need to protect ourselves while also trying to consider the feelings and needs of others. "
"It's easy for you to say it, but it's not you. It's not you who is living under the control of the princess of the underworld; it's not you who is trapped here, not knowing what the sun, moon and stars are; it's not you who has your body's strength constantly sucked away. It's not you. None of these are you, so of course it's easy for you to say it. If it were you, what could you do..."
Just as she was about to say something, Le Zheng Shui Ling remembered what Le Zheng Yu Hua had said, and murmured to herself: "Don't advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering."
When Princess Haitang heard what she said, she was visibly startled and stunned for a moment.
Le Zheng Shuiling also noticed it, and was about to take the opportunity to control her movements, but was tightly restrained by the "tentacles" of Lycoris radiata.
"I am much more familiar with this place than you are. I didn't expect you to be such a hypocrite who takes advantage of others when they are least prepared."
"So what? I'm not a gentleman. I'm just being selfish for what I want to do."
Princess Haitang frowned and clenched her fists, as if she had been severely mocked by her.
"Okay, I want to see what choice you would make if it were you."
Princess Haitang cast a spell on her, and countless fluorescent lights gathered, dazzling Le Zheng Shuiling so much that she couldn't open her eyes. She only opened her eyes cautiously when she heard other people's voices.
Only then did he realize that he was on a cliff, with each hand holding a person. Le Zheng Shuiling subconsciously tightened the other person's hand, but found that his magic was useless.
She pushed hard, but it was obvious that she couldn't pull up two people.
"Look to your left and then to your right. Both of them are your senior brothers, and you can obviously only choose one. Remember, death is mutual."
"Choose one? You're wrong. I'm quite greedy."
"Shui Ling, we grew up together and we share the same trousers. Please don't let go."
Le Zheng Qiming held her hand tightly, and the same went for Le Zheng Yuhua on the other side. It was no longer a matter of choice for her.
"People are afraid of death after all. You see, they regard you as a life-saving straw, but they don't know that in this way, the three of them will only have one possibility of falling into the abyss.
If you let go and leave them alone, they won't last long, and you will survive. You have to be more selfish than them, but if you do that, you will lose two brothers who lived and died together.
Not only that, this one, the Lord of the Heavenly Sword, is related to the lives of all people in the world, but at least you can still live your life to the end, how about that? "
Le Zheng Shuiling looked at the two people's expectant eyes and she could no longer hold on.
"What about the people of the world? I'm not that great. I live in the present. Anyway, when that day comes, I will naturally stand up. If you ask me to give up the present for an illusory future, I have no future at all."
"All I can see now is your lives. If I can't even protect you, it would be a huge joke to protect the common people."
"That's right, saving the people is not a conflict. Think about it, if it's really our turn to save the world, and it depends on us alone, then forget it. Saving the people of the world is never a matter for one person, right, brother?"
"I'm not sure. If there is danger facing you now, I will never watch it approach you. At least now, I can see that you are alive."
In her mind, the words of Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Yuhua kept appearing. Le Zheng Shuiling closed her eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, and then loosened her hands. After a while, she stood up and watched them fall coldly.
"As much as I want to be with them, I know they will understand."
"Aren't you afraid that they will really..."
"I am afraid, of course I am afraid, but in that situation just now, I have no ability to save any of them. I will only be dragged into the abyss by them. At least I am alive. I will bring this news back to my sister-in-law, Aunt Banxia, Le Zheng and the world. I will work hard for them as well. Even without the Heavenly Sword, I can still do it."
"Don't talk so high-soundingly. Admit it. You are afraid of death. You are selfish."
"So what? I don't feel ashamed. At least I survived. Even if I regret it in the future, I will remember that it was me, Le Zheng Shui Ling, who brought back the news of their deaths. It was me who brought back the truth about Le Zheng. And I will work hard to live for three people."
"Slick tongue."
Princess Haitang ignored her tears and took her to another place. Before Le Zheng Shuiling could recover, a little boy rushed towards them.
It seemed like something was chasing him. Le Zheng Shuiling found that he could use magic and subdued the opponent with one move. The little demons could only flee in panic.
"Thank you for saving me. I will never forget your kindness."
"What's wrong with you?"
"A group of demons broke into the village and killed everyone except me, including my parents."
Le Zheng Shui Ling comforted him, took him to a safe place, and handed him over to other Taoists.
They agreed to become great people who protect their homes and the people.
"I didn't expect you to recover from the death of your two senior brothers so quickly. You are truly ruthless."
Princess Haitang suddenly appeared, and before Le Zheng Shuiling could say a word, she cast a spell to take her to another place.
The scene here is very similar to what I saw in my soul, with corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river.
"Do you want me to save someone again?"
"I want you to see someone."
Princess Haitang pushed her, and Le Zheng Shuiling went into a tent. Before she could react, she heard someone shouting.
"Benefactor, is it really you?"
