Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"What are you sad about?" Lin Yaoxie asked in a low voice. "Are you sad that Changliu has become like this? Or sad that Bai Zihua has become like this? Or sad that Moyan has become like this? Or sad that you are too weak and were controlled by a bell? Or sad for me, feeling that my journey has been too difficult? What exactly are you sad about?"

Lin Yaoxie's words provoked Shuofeng, who was already so fragile that he was prone to wild thoughts, and the rope around his ankles swayed even more violently:

"I don't know, I don't know."

"Shuofeng, you've always been simple-minded. Have you ever thought that from Yin Shangpiao at the beginning to Luo Shiyi later, we haven't actually changed? It's them who have changed, or rather, they are the true nature of Changliu. They couldn't withstand their authority and were provoked, looked down upon, and ignored."

"It wasn't like this before," Shuofeng insisted.

He remembered the old Changliu, where brothers were friendly and respectful, and everyone shared a common goal.

He diligently practiced martial arts every day, sparred with others, and went to the mortal world to gain experience. He had only one goal in his heart, which never changed and was never obscured by anything.

In fact, all disciples who enter Changliu must undergo the baptism of the three pools of greed, desire, and passion before they can enter the immortal mountain.

What's going on now? Even the sect leader has fallen into the demonic path.

He was willing to do anything to save Lin Yaoxie's life.

"Was it really not like this before?" Lin Yaoxie's voice was gentle and detailed. "If it wasn't like this before, how did Mo Yan and his witch wife fall in love? Who pushed that witch into the wilderness? How come their son, Zhu Ran, was clearly Mo Yan's son, yet no one ever knew? Why did he end up disfigured and broken, thrown into the wilderness? Was it because Mo Yan took pity on them and wanted to reunite the two women? Mo Yan was like that, but how was Bai Zihua any different? If it weren't for An Ying and Tan Fan, would Zi Xun have held a grudge against Bai Zihua until she was forced to become a fallen immortal?"

Shuofeng was well aware of their actions, but knowing them was one thing, actually doing them was quite another.

“I…” Shuofeng murmured.

He didn't know what he was struggling with; he just felt that his mind wasn't calm enough and that he hadn't figured it out.

"This is reality, but it has nothing to do with you. Everyone has their own secrets, which they dare not, do not want to, and cannot tell others. Similarly, having secrets will lead to desires, which is human nature. Although Mo Yan has desires in his heart, he is also controlled by his desires and has done some things that violate the rules of Changliu, but he has not been driven crazy and has been getting what he wants."

Bai Zihua, on the other hand, also possessed extremely intense desires. However, constrained by the rules, he constantly endured and yielded, until finally pushing himself into the most difficult corner, leaving him with no choice but to take the worst path.

"I……"

"I also have secrets," Shuofeng swallowed back what he wanted to say. He knew what Lin Yaoxie had been searching for, and he also knew his own importance.

"There are 260 decisions in life, and none of them are wrong. It's just that everyone will see your choices differently. But how can you please everyone? Just be yourself."

Lin Yaoxie earnestly advised Shuofeng, "The world is vast and long. There's no time to please everyone. Just focus on satisfying yourself!"

Therefore, Lin Yaoxie actually doesn't value Changliu's management system at all, and has even erased the basic psychological requirements of people.

How can someone who cultivates immortality and becomes a person without desires or wants truly help mortals?

"I understand."

Shuofeng carefully pondered Lin Yaoxie's words, and only after repeated reflection did he understand a few things.

What I'm doing now is excessively interfering with other people's decisions and imposing my own assumptions on them. Everyone has something that is most important to them, but what is most important to everyone is very different.

"So, let's go back and pack up, then we'll go find the last artifact."

Lin Yaoxie stood up casually and said.

"The last divine artifact? The other nine divine artifacts have already been collected?"

Shuofeng said in surprise that after returning to Changliu, he was assigned some tasks and hadn't known about everyone's progress for a while.

"Hmm, only one piece of Flame Water Jade is left."

Chapter 126 Collection of Divine Artifacts

Watching Lin Yaoxie's departing figure, Shuofeng suddenly understood the meaning of his existence.

He witnessed Changliu's rise and fall.

Fortunately, he met Lin Yaoxie and his group, and learned many things he didn't know before.

He was a member of the treasure hunting team from the very beginning.

He witnessed Lin Yaoxie's way of handling things and how everyone interacted. Everyone seemed to have their own ideas, but they all came together because of Lin Yaoxie.

If the outcome was predetermined from the moment the search for the divine artifact began.

Does his existence mean sacrifice? Now that the nine divine artifacts have been gathered, only the last one remains.

Shuofeng Youyou closed his eyes. He had thought that everything would start anew and that he would learn to accept more.

He will meet more, he will become more different, but now, has it already come to the time for parting?

How I feel! I've learned the last thing in this world.

"Have you found Shuofeng?"

Zi Xun watched as Lin Yaoxie entered through the door.

"Hmm, I talked some long-winded principles into the child, but I don't know how much he understood? Anyway..."

Having said that, Lin Yaoxie shrugged helplessly and turned to walk towards Hua Qiangu.

"Zixun, don't worry about it. Let Shuofeng stay by himself. He'll figure it out."

Seeing Zixun's reaction, Dongfang worried that she would press for more information and spoke up quickly.

"Oh well, hopefully he'll figure it out himself."

After saying that, Zi Xun started packing her things.

On Xuansi Cliff, there is still that rope, still that afterglow of the setting sun, but when it falls on the north wind, it no longer seems so desolate.

At this moment, Shuofeng's face was no longer blank and bewildered; his eyes seemed to be burning with a fierce fire.

"Yes, the past is the past. Flowers bloom and wither, things change and people change, why bother with these things!"

Shuofeng muttered to himself:

"Before me are my brothers and sisters who have risked their lives with me, my most important friends in this life, and Bao Si has taken such good care of me!"

"Yes, that's exactly it!"

Shuofeng became more and more agitated as he spoke, and the ropes binding him began to sway.

The past is the past. Now is the time for me to do something for everyone!

After saying this, Shuofeng looked firmly in the direction of Lin Yaoxie and the others.

Goodbye my friends, goodbye my brothers, goodbye to this world I love!

At this moment, Shuofeng's eyes were closed, and the ropes that had previously bound him were nowhere to be found.

The person floated quietly in the air, radiating a pale blue glow, making the entire sky appear like the aurora borealis, dreamlike and ethereal.

"Brother Demon, look!"

Hua Qiangu covered her mouth in surprise and looked up at the sky, saying to Lin Yaoxie.

Lin Yaoxie looked up at the sky, also taken aback: "Where did this strange phenomenon come from?"

"Report four, report four! There seems to be some unusual activity at Xuansi Cliff!"

Dongfang and Zixun rushed over: "Shuofeng is still there, let's go and take a look!"

Lin Yaoxie was taken aback, only then remembering that Shuofeng was at Xuansi Cliff.

"Let's go, hurry over and check on him, make sure nothing happens to that kid!"

After they finished speaking, they rushed towards Xuansi Cliff like the wind!

"North wind..."

Lin Yaoxie led Hua Qiangu to Xuansi Cliff first.

At this moment, the north wind was already enveloped by that blue light, leaving only his eyes still shining with a faint glow.

"Shufeng! What happened to you? What kind of ambush did you fall into?!"

Hua Qiangu shouted loudly at him. Shuofeng looked as if he was bound by something and could not break free.

"Brother Lin..." Shuofeng said to Lin Yaoxie.

This was the first time he had called Lin Yaoxie by another name, "Big Brother." These two words sounded like something from a rough, unrefined place, but they actually contained a profound meaning.

"Brother Lin, thank you for your help all this time. Thank you for teaching me swordsmanship. Thank you for your guidance. Thank you for letting me meet everyone."

"Shuofeng! What are you saying!" Hua Gangu said anxiously, "Can you come out by yourself? Who attacked you! Brother Yaoxie is very powerful, don't be afraid, he will protect you!"

Lin Yaoxie has now realized that something is wrong. Although Shuofeng looks like he is being restrained, he is very calm. In fact, his words sound like a farewell.

Lin Yaoxie carefully recalled the TV series and looked at Shuofeng with a sudden realization.

"Shuofeng! What's wrong?" Zixun arrived as well. "With us here, it doesn't matter if Changliu is gone."

"Shuofeng?! Don't do anything rash!"

Qing Shui and Ni Mantian also called out anxiously.

Something wrong

Dongfang Huoqing carefully observed Shuofeng's form; his feet were already petrified, making it seem as if he was sitting in meditation to pass away.

"Thank you everyone! Thank you for your continued tolerance and understanding. Thank you for always treating me like one of your own. Thank you for never abandoning me. And thank you for still trusting me completely after Yin Shangpiao and Luo Shiyi betrayed me..."

Shuofeng's words were very honest, and they were all his true feelings.

He has always been taciturn and rarely speaks much, but if he doesn't speak now, he will never be able to speak again.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hua Qiangu shouted.

She felt that something was off about Shuofeng; it was strange, as if his words were a farewell before his death.

"Qian Gu, I remember you once asked me why you were always so cold, especially when you were close to me. I told you then that it was because of the sword technique you practiced, but that was a lie. Now, I'll tell you the real reason."

Shuofeng looked at everyone with a slight smile.

"Because I am Yan Shuiyu!"

Hua Qiangu opened her mouth wide in horror, and Qing Shui and Ni Mantian also widened their eyes as if they couldn't believe it. What do you mean that Shuofeng is Yan Shuiyu?

"I see……"

Looking at Shuofeng's feet, which had turned into jade, Dongfang realized that they had been searching for Yan Shui Yu for the past two days, but they never expected that Yan Shui Yu would be right beside them.

"The Yan Shui Jade has been adrift for thousands of years, and I have spent thousands of years in the void. Who would have thought that it would cultivate human intelligence? I devoted myself to Changliu, wanting to pursue the ultimate swordsmanship. I have been cultivating diligently and have no understanding of the world. Now, I have experienced many things, from Changliu to Yixiu Pavilion, from Bai Zihua to you, Brother Lin. I have seen the darkness and light of people's hearts, the beauty and the sinister. Now, it is time to make the Yan Shui Jade whole again."

"North wind..."

Hua Qiangu cried out sadly.

"You don't have to do this. As long as you don't tell us, we'll never know."
