[For rational discussion, why did Song Chenye seem somewhat bloodthirsty in this episode?]

Isn't it normal for Brother Xiao to go on a killing spree in the show? He was slapping people in his last show [Mo Tun pulling teeth emoji]

[This is for analysis and discussion; please go to the other section for jokes and memes, thank you!]

[It feels a little bit like that, but Song Chenye took revenge in the same way before, so there's no real difference, it just feels strange.]

After investigating thoroughly, Song Chenye went straight to Qianye Manor, seemingly without considering Liu Zhilin's feelings at all. Liu Zhilin already had a close relationship with Qianye Manor and was also related to Gong Lin by blood. Yet Song Chenye went and killed him without a word, without even informing Liu Zhilin beforehand. It felt... well, it felt like Song Chenye was in a great hurry, as if he was afraid Liu Zhilin would stop him.

[That's definitely the feeling. Besides, Liu Zhilin and Gong Lin are actually very distant relatives, their relationship isn't good. Plus, Liu Zhilin knows about the terrible things Gong Lin has done. Given Liu Zhilin's personality, I think he probably won't stop Song Chenye... So I think Song Chenye handled this situation poorly.]

[Perhaps it's because the main perspective this time is from Liu Zhilin's point of view. In other words, at this moment, we empathize with Liu Zhilin, not Song Chenye. That's why we feel that Song Chenye has a kind of bloodthirsty frenzy, but in reality, he has never changed. He has always been killing his enemies.]

[Actually, I can understand Song Chenye. If he had told Liu Zhilin beforehand, it would have put Liu Zhilin in a dilemma—helping or not helping would both be wrong. So it was better not to tell him.]

[I think this episode is really worth savoring. The previous ones were all about simple revenge, but this one adds more complex emotional elements. I inexplicably feel that Song Chenye's path to revenge is becoming increasingly difficult, losing the initial satisfying revenge feel and instead becoming somewhat heavy (not that it's bad). Also, his relationship with Liu Zhilin... it feels like there's a foreshadowing element at play.]

That's really the case. The main problem is that the enemies I killed before were just simple enemies, but this time, the enemy is related to my good friend, which makes the situation more complicated.

[I don't see anything complicated about it. I've disliked Gong Lin for a long time. It's all her own fault, and she even killed someone else's mother. Yet, the first thing she did when she saw Song Chenye was to insult his mother. If I were Song Chenye, I would have killed her on the spot. Why would I wait until now?]

Indeed, I was quite angry when Song Chenye let her go back then. I felt like Song Chenye's image had been ruined. He let her go for Liu Zhilin's sake. But now I realize that he was actually preparing to collect more evidence to expose Gong Lin's dirty deeds.

[Actually, there's no need to sympathize with Liu Zhilin. Song Chenye usually killed his enemies outright, except for Gong Lin. He only acted after thoroughly investigating Gong Lin's past actions and presenting the evidence, out of respect for Liu Zhilin. I think he already showed Liu Zhilin a great deal of respect; otherwise, given the early suspicions surrounding Gong Lin, Song Chenye would have acted much earlier.]

So isn't it ironic that good people are subjected to fierce judgment for even the slightest flaw, while bad people, despite committing countless evil deeds, are still criticized for their deaths? Isn't that absurd?

[Yeah, I think this question is really strange. Song Chenye didn't kill anyone indiscriminately. Everyone he killed was an enemy or a bad person. But just because he killed his friend's relative, people say he was bloodthirsty. It's like he's become a bad guy.]

[We were just joking when we said he was the final villain of the whole series! Some people shouldn't take it so seriously. Just because Song Chenye and Liu Zhilin are on good terms doesn't mean we should let go of the enemy who killed his mother, right? If you do, you're really something else.]

[Great! Our "Chasing the Wind" series now has its own Great Buddha! [doge emoji]]

Perhaps it was because of the immense popularity of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" that more and more people were discussing it. When I checked the analysis post again the next day, it had already received over ten thousand comments, and more and more people were expressing their opinions.

Some people like Song Chenye and naturally stand on her side, while others like Liu Zhilin and naturally want to speak up for him. There are also people who are neutral and jump between the two sides. But no matter what, the popularity of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" has reached a new high, and more and more people are getting into it, wanting to explore the world of "The Legend of Chasing the Wind".

One Saturday, Xiao He returned to Shanghai to participate in the official promotional live stream for "The Legend of Chasing the Wind," and was asked this question in the live chat.

Xiao He had already prepared for today's live broadcast, so he wasn't surprised to be asked this question. He simply asked in return, "If Song Chenye tells Liu Zhilin, then what? Will that change the final outcome? Actually, it won't."

Song Chenye was determined to kill Gong Lin, so Liu Zhilin was never an obstacle.
