Shi Lingyun came to find Lin Yu, naturally to persuade him not to hand over the golden tobacco pouch to Luo Wuchen.

Because this pipe is of great importance.

It could even be said to concern the safety of all humankind and the future of the world.

Although he knew that Han Ling Shuang and Lin Yu had a close relationship, as the Human Emperor, he could not abandon millions of people just to save one person.

"Human Emperor, you are a role model for the human race, and the well-being of millions of people is on your shoulders. Please consider the overall situation of the human race!"

Shi Lingyun, with an eager expression, disregarded all pride and knelt down before Lin Yu.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

Everyone knelt down and made their plea in unison.

"Lin Yu..."

Feng Hongye looked at Lin Yu, pursed her red lips, and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, she was the only one still standing.

She didn't kneel because she understood Lin Yu.

Lin Yu is a very subjective person; he never does anything based on the will of others.

Even so, she hoped that Lin Yu would not act impulsively.

But at this moment, as his confidante, she could only abstain from voting so as not to upset him.

As expected, Lin Yu stood still, his gaze calm and unchanging.

With that composed expression, no one knew what he was thinking.

But after a moment, he slowly spoke.

"Although I am the emperor, I am also a human being. As a human being, I have seven emotions and six desires, and I have six relatives and family members. If I cannot even protect one person, how can I claim that I can protect millions of people and all living beings under heaven!"

"The Human Emperor..."

Before Shi Lingyun could say anything more, Lin Yu suddenly waved his hand.

"Say no more. I have already made the decision on this matter, so there is no need for further discussion. However, I assure you that I will find a solution that satisfies both Ling Shuang and the golden tobacco pouch!"

After saying this, he turned and walked away into the distance without looking back.

"people……"

Shi Lingyun wanted to say something, but in the end, she slowly lowered her head, looking helpless.

The others looked at each other, sighing helplessly in return.

"Red leaves..."

Shi Lingyun called out.

Feng Hongye quickly came over and helped him up, pursing her lips as she said, "Grandpa Shi, I know what you're going to say, but I may not be able to convince him!"

"Alas, no matter what, you are the closest person to him. Saving the Three Realms depends on you!" Shi Lingyun said earnestly.

Feng Hongye nodded, "Okay, I'll do my best!"

A moment later.

South Gate.

Lin Yu sat on the ground below the city gate tower.

Watching people come and go, amidst the noise.

The warmth and life of everyday life are what so many people yearn for.

Now he finally understood why the old blind man had set up his fortune-telling stall here.

Because this is the most authentic place in the world.

Yes, it is the most peaceful place.

If he had a choice, he really wouldn't want to live such a tiring life.

Even in the tranquil world and in ordinary life, disputes and conflicts between people are still inevitable.

"Stop trying to fool me! I told you to cut a little bit, and you gave me five and a half pounds! Are you trying to bankrupt me, you glutton? I'm not buying it!"

"Hey, you were the one who told me to cut this knife! Stop right there! I've already cut it and you still won't buy it? Who am I supposed to sell it to?!"

"I don't care who you sell it to, just let go of me right now!"

"I won't let go, give me the money now!"

"I'm not buying it, so what? Go ahead and stab me with a knife if you dare!"

"So what if I stab you? You really think I wouldn't dare?"

A young man and an old man selling cut cakes got into an argument on the spot, attracting a lot of onlookers.

Lin Yu frowned, flicked his finger, and with a whoosh, the old man and the young man froze on the spot, becoming statues.

Everyone was completely bewildered.

What's going on with these two?

How did this argument turn into something so ridiculous?

However, the world is finally quiet again.

Lin Yu's lips curled slightly, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Tell me, why do people have to fight?"

At that moment, a voice came from beside Lin Yu's ear.

Lin Yu turned his head, and his stunningly beautiful face was reflected in the setting sun, appearing so beautiful.

"Where there are people, there are disputes and conflicts; where there are people, there is a world of its own. Isn't that normal?" Lin Yu retorted, which was a standard answer.

However, Feng Hongye was not satisfied with this answer. She shook her head and said, "Disputes and conflicts are inherently exhausting. Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "You are the eldest daughter of the Divine Blood Family. You have never experienced the hardships of life. Everything you want is readily available to you. How can you possibly empathize with the suffering of these people at the bottom of society?"

Feng Hongye pursed her lips and said, "I'm not as good as you think. I had a very tough time cultivating when I was young, and my elders were very strict with me. Besides, you know how my face used to look... Actually, I didn't have a good life before!"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Good and bad are relative. Without comparison, there is no harm! Take this old man selling cut cakes, for example. He is seriously ill, but he still has to come out to sell cut cakes and even has to lose face to cheat people. Do you think he wants to live such a life? He doesn't, but he has no choice! As the young lady of the Divine Blood, you have countless choices. You can choose your destiny, but they have absolutely no choice!"

In Lin Yu's perception, the old man had cancer and was nearing the end of his life. He probably wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure if it weren't for the medical expenses.

But Feng Hongye sensed something else in his words.

"When you say fate offers no choice, you're referring to Han Ling Shuang, right? I know, she's had a tough life!"
