Mecha Star Wars

"It's not that I don't want Senior Sister Mu to save people." Jin Tong spoke up for Lin Fan. "My Senior Sister Lin wants Senior Sister Mu to know the possible consequences of saving people. If Senior Sister Mu feels that she can bear the consequences after knowing it, she won't suddenly hear bad news one day and her Taoism will collapse. Senior Sister, is this what you mean?"

Lin Fan just said it casually because the situation of saving Arya in the water coincided with Ivana's, and it happened that the villagers were doing evil. Unexpectedly, Jintong, this little girl, was quite good at interpreting it.

She didn't say yes, nor did she say no. Instead, she changed the subject.

"In fact, I have always had a question that no one has been able to answer for all these years. Perhaps, my senior brothers and sisters can help me solve it."

"Oh?" Shen Xiuyuan was curious, "Tell me about it."

"The swords are suspended at both ends, tied by a rope in the middle. There is a candle burning in the middle of the rope, and it will soon break, when the swords on both sides will fall at the same time. Under the swords, there is one person standing at one end and three or five people standing at the other end. Ask," Lin Fan looked at the persistent Mu Jingjing, "At this critical moment, which side's people should be saved?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Du Xingyu was quick-witted and answered first: "We can use magic to freeze the swords on both sides, so that both sides can be saved."

"Pah!" Yu Sinian closed his fan and said unhappily, "Is that what Junior Sister is asking? She's asking how to make a choice."

"That must be the end where more people are rescued!" Jin Tong said crisply.

"Does the person who was abandoned deserve to die?" Shen Xiuyuan frowned.

“We can’t just save one person and ignore more people.” Du Xingyu spread his hands.

"As for me," Yu Sinian slapped his palm with the handle of his fan, "save the people I know first."

"That's different!" Du Xingyu argued with Yu Sinian again. "Besides, didn't her mother ask us to save her? How can this be considered abandonment?"

"And then? After Erya came back, did her mother, who had been begging us to save her, pay any attention to her?" Yu Sinian looked at Du Xingyu coldly. "They didn't even give her food to eat. Isn't that considered abandonment?"

Du Xingyu choked.

"If Arya's father stood on one side, and Arya and her mother stood on the other side, are you sure that his father would be willing to sacrifice his life to save his wife and daughter?"

Du Xingyu remained silent.

"So your thoughts are just your thoughts. Your decision can only represent the result, not anyone else's thoughts." Du Xingyu chuckled. "Moreover, even if your father sacrifices himself as you wish, back to the topic just now, how can you be sure that the child will not become a murderer in the future?"

"And is it really worthwhile to use a strong laborer to exchange for an old and frail man, a weak woman, and a child with an uncertain future? Do you know how many low-income families who have lost their strong laborers simply cannot survive? In this case, even if we save those three or five people, they will still face death. It's only a matter of time."

"Don't exaggerate here!" Du Xingyu was furious.

"You are always too naive and self-righteous based on your own understanding." Yu Sinian looked serious.

"I've tolerated you for a long time!" Du Xingyu rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward, "You are selfish, vicious, and cruel, you..."

"Brother, Brother!" Jin Tong hurried over and put his hands between the two men, fearing that they would really fight. "Peace is the most precious thing, peace is the most precious thing."

When Du Xingyu saw Jin Tong, his guilty conscience returned. He glared at Yu Sinian hatefully, turned back with his hands in his pockets, and stood far away.

"Saving one person is equivalent to killing three or five people in disguise, and saving three or five people is bound to kill one person." Shen Xiuyuan sighed, "No matter what you choose, there is no perfect answer. Junior Sister Lin, are you trying to tell us that the choices in life can never be perfect, and no matter what you choose, you don't have to be too demanding?"

Everyone looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan asked Mu Jingjing, who had been silent the whole time, "Senior Sister Mu, what do you think? Which side will you choose?"

Mu Jingjing kept thinking about it, but couldn't come up with an answer.

"I, I don't know." She shook her head slowly. "Maybe by then, the brain won't have time to think, and the body will make the decision on its own. What do you want to tell me? Does this have anything to do with what's happening now?"

“Senior Sister Mu,” Lin Fan said, “No matter which side you choose to save or who you save, there will always be people who condemn you, and you will never be at peace.”

Mu Jingjing nodded.

"Will you not save one of them because of other people's condemnation and your inner uneasiness?" Lin Fan asked.

"No." Mu Jingjing answered firmly, "Even if this choice will make me sleepless and restless, it is better to do something than to stand by and watch without saving anyone. No matter what others say, I will do what I should do."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"So your question has been answered, hasn't it?" Lin Fan said.

Mu Jingjing was stunned.

"No matter what we say, no matter if anyone agrees with your idea or not, as long as you think it should be done, you will stick to your position." Lin Fan smiled faintly, "Senior Sister Mu, you already have the answer. You don't need the support of me or anyone else. Do what you think is right and save the people you think should be saved."

"Do what I think is right?" Mu Jingjing hesitated, "Even if you all disagree, it doesn't matter, right?"

"We all disagree?" Shen Xiuyuan laughed. "What kind of treasonous thing has happened that so many of us would disagree?"

"If it is really inappropriate, we will naturally stop it." Yu Sinian said, "But if it is within the permissible range, Junior Sister puts forward her own ideas. How can you not know that there is no better result under the commercial power?"

"How dare you say that! It's all your fault!" After Du Xingyu scolded Yu Sinian, he smiled at Mu Jingjing, "Junior Sister Mu, we are on the same side. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I support you!

"So Junior Sister Lin went through so much trouble to make us think, just to let Junior Sister Mu express herself?" Shen Xiuyuan smiled faintly and looked at Lin Fan. "Junior Sister Lin is really a gentle person."

Lin Fan is gentle? Jin Tong looked at Lin Fan's expressionless face and had no idea how Shen Xiuyuan could compliment him like that.

Mu Jingjing was still in a daze. The master asked her to speak less, but the brothers and sisters asked her to speak out...

Mu Jingjing felt numb and blocked in the heart, as if something had melted and was pressing against her.

"Junior Sister Mu, what do you want to say? Say it!" Du Xingyu urged.

"I, I hope..." She looked at Yu Sinian hesitantly, "Innocent villagers will not be punished excessively. The villagers who made mistakes will receive the punishment they deserve."

"Got it." Yu Sinian twitched his lips slightly, "I'll have the office keep an eye on it and make sure the government follows the rules."

This matter was not difficult in itself, but Du Xingyu was so jumpy that he made it seem like it was very serious.

"Look!" Du Xingyu jumped in front of Mu Jingjing happily, "He actually listened to you. Junior Sister Mu is so proud!"

Yu Sinian ignored Du Xingyu who was making as much noise as a monkey and looked at Lin Fan.

"Junior Sister Lin, is this your way?"
