Chapter 179 Justice or Hypocrisy
Yin Xuan Ge definitely had no other intentions, she just wanted to say a few words to go along with Situ Xia Yan. On normal days, she would never say so much, it was rare for her to express her own opinions, but Jing Han Rou made things difficult for her. She knew it was her fault, but Jing Han Rou was just a little harsh. Therefore, she could not refute, and could only quietly defend herself: "No, that's not what I meant. Xia Yan is right, this is a matter for the individual, if you want to do it, do it, if you don't want to do it, don't do it, you don't have to do it..."
Jing Hanrou would not listen to her pale excuse. Besides, it seemed easier to bully this silly kid than Qin Shuxue who knew the truth and Situ Xiayan who stood firm. "You are giving us a choice? Aren't you forcing us to choose? If you don't want to do it, you will be without parents? You are really vicious."
Yin Xuan Ge was not the type to cry after being told a few words. Although she was in the wrong and couldn't say anything, she was unhappy when she saw Jing Han Rou's persistent attitude, "I was not thoughtful at the moment, and what I said was not nice, and polluted your ears. But I saw that you were not willing to do this. Whoever is willing to do it can do it. It has nothing to do with parents. Now you should be relieved, right?"
Seeing that Yin Xuan Ge was not a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied, Jing Hanrou snorted coldly and said nothing more. She just had some grudges against Qin Shuxue. Since she couldn't make use of the situation, she might as well stop here. After all, the Yin family was also quite powerful. If she provoked them, it would be difficult to explain to the royal family.
Situ Xiayan no longer wanted to talk to Jing Hanrou. It was already very difficult for her to resist killing this person with a single blow. She didn't want to get entangled with her any more and went straight into the village. Others ignored Jing Hanrou and followed Situ Xiayan. It's not that they would necessarily help others when they saw injustice, but they just didn't want to stay with Jing Hanrou. Jing Hanrou's reputation might not be that bad. Generally speaking, she was certainly not worse than Qin Shuxue; but who made her stay with these people who knew Qin Shuxue and knew that her bad reputation was all fake? Jing Hanrou thought about it and decided that it would be better to follow these people. At least Situ Xiayan would not let the people around her die.
When Situ Xiayan saw Jing Hanrou following her, she did not make any sarcastic remarks. She thought that competing with such a person would only lower her own vision. At this time, it would be better to focus on saving people.
Situ Xiayan saw many traces of destruction by the monster around the village, as well as pieces of clothing, but no body parts. It may have eaten some people, but it ate them very cleanly. Situ Xiayan hurried into the village, but all the doors were closed. Even the monks were unwilling to open the door. There was no one on the street. It seemed that the monster not only roamed around the village, but even entered the village.
In this age where everyone knows a little about the five elements, it seems that there are no people with particularly strong magic in this village, and everyone has no way to deal with it, so they can only try to hide. Situ Xiayan knocked on the door of the nearest house, otherwise it would be inefficient if they waited here, and the monsters would probably not show up if they could sense the breath of the cultivators.
However, Situ Xiayan knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open it. She suspected that there was no one in the house, and there was indeed no sign of smoke. She had never lived in the countryside, so she could not judge the finer details.
Needless to say, Jing Hanrou grew up in the palace and didn't recognize any rural areas. If it weren't for Situ Xiayan, she wouldn't even be able to find the main gate. Baili Zhaoyang was obviously a young master. Although he would help the servants with some cleaning and other tasks on weekdays, he thought that this was already an experience of the sufferings of the world. Yin Xuan Ge was still a little girl, who was spoiled by her family. She was just excited to follow Situ Xiayan to do some good deeds, but she had no place to use her enthusiasm. Needless to say, Yan Yuze, his identity and origins have always been a mystery. He usually just treats people's illnesses, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else.
However, Yan Yuze was still quite friendly. He patted Situ Xiayan on the shoulder and told her not to worry about it and to try it herself.
Yan Yuze looked like a well-educated and elegant gentleman, who didn't fit in with this place. He walked up and knocked on the door gently, saying in a gentle tone, "Excuse me, is anyone here? We are monks from the Chongyun Sect who came here. We saw signs of the village being invaded by monsters, so we wanted to ask about the situation. We also want to help everyone kill the monsters."
The people in the door still didn't make any movement. Even though Yan Yuze spoke so gently, they didn't let down their guard. Jing Hanrou sneered and said, "I said I couldn't come, but you insisted on coming. You don't understand that poor and remote areas produce unruly people. I have seen a lot of this in the royal family. Even if you want to help them, they don't want to be helped by you. The most important thing is, if you help them today, what about tomorrow? If you help them once, what about the second time? These unruly people are like this. As long as you don't give them benefits anymore, they will forget all the kindness they had shown before and think that you are entitled to do so."
Actually, Jing Hanrou was right, but she was a little absolute. The good and bad people in this world are not determined by their place of work, but by their family education. There must be good people in this village, and there must be extremely evil people.
Situ Xiayan didn't care about her opinion at all. She also had her own reasons: "You are right, but they just want to survive. If we cultivators can solve the danger for them every time, they won't think so. It is our job to solve the monsters and protect the people. We should not make excuses for our dereliction of duty. You can say they are greedy or something else. It's because we didn't do a good enough job."
Jing Hanrou really couldn't understand Situ Xiayan. Isn't this just a disease? "Can you manage this one village? Can you manage all the villages in the world? Do you think this is the only village that has suffered this? You can't save everyone, and you don't even have the energy to save this village every time. No matter how hard you try, you can't do it. So what's the point?"
Situ Xiayan was very determined: "You are right, but if I see it, I will definitely save it. If I fail to save it in time next time, I will accept it even if they have complaints against me. The people in this world have suffered enough. They are afraid of the appearance of monsters and can't even go out. The food is wasted, but this country still wants them to pay taxes. What do they pay with? Pay with their lives?"
Jing Hanrou always felt that Situ Xiayan was indirectly saying bad things about her, so she responded: "That's the emperor's intention, what does it have to do with me? The people are naturally suffering from being exploited layer by layer, but my father doesn't do this."
