"You misunderstood me, Morgana." Li Lin shook his head. "Let's not talk about Kyle for now, let's talk about you. Have you ever thought about your own behavior?"
"Oh~~? Then I'd really like to hear you talk about it."
Morgana's brows were furrowed even tighter, and even her arrogance was rising, as if she would get angry and attack if Li Lin couldn't come up with words to convince her.
Even Zuo Yin was touched by her arrogance. She didn't even bother to enjoy the cakes she had just taken out of the portal. She immediately teleported to Li Lin's side and stared at her fellow human being who showed hostility towards the person she liked with her big eyes, which she thought were the most "cruel" and "cold".
However, Li Lin was not at all flustered by the hostility she displayed. He continued calmly, "What is justice? What is corruption? This is the first question we need to consider.
"A man who had never done anything bad in his life and had always been a good man, for some reason... like war, had not eaten for several days and was on the verge of starvation. Simply because he stole an apple from a farmer, he was sentenced to have his hand cut off.
"But without this apple, he would have died... Is it justice to let a person who spent the first half of his life doing good deeds die like this?
"Could it be that all the good things he did for others in the first half of his life cannot outweigh the evil brought about by this one apple?"
"This is how extreme Kayle is." Morgana snorted coldly, and the anger that had just risen in her heart subsided a little.
"Then let's change the angle." Li Lin continued.
"That villain who had committed countless evil deeds in the first half of his life, bullying men and women, destroying countless families, and killing countless people, was spared the death penalty because he feared death when facing trial..."
Morgana opened her mouth and wanted to express her point of view, but Li Lin didn't give her the chance at all.
"I know what you want to say, because he has come to his senses and understood the meaning of life, so you think he can still be saved.
"But have you ever considered that this villain only repented out of fear of death, and what would the innocent people who were harmed by this villain, and the families who were torn apart by him, think when faced with this decision?
"Just because he said, 'I have fully come to my senses, I sincerely plead guilty, and I beg Morgana, the Winged Protector, to spare me the death penalty,' can we erase his sinful past?"
Morgana's expression changed.
What would those who were hurt by the disciples they protected think...
In the past, she really hadn't thought about this issue much.
But soon, she resolutes herself, "I can see through people's hearts. This comes from the power of the righteous star spirit that I inherited."
Morgana said, "I can tell whether they are truly repentant. For those who still harbor such hopes, my icy dark flames will burn them to ashes as punishment."
"But...what if those criminals killed your father?"
Noticing Morgana's sudden change of expression, Li Lin quickly added, "This is just an analogy. I've undoubtedly offended your father... I just want to ask, if your father were still alive, and a group of robbers broke into your home and killed him in order to rob your property without exposing themselves...
"If you caught those criminals and they sincerely repented and realized their mistakes before they died, would you still forgive them? Would you forgive these people who had murdered your father?
"Don't rush to answer me, ask your heart, Morgana. I think it will tell you the answer."
Morgana opened her purple-black lips slightly. She wanted to refute Li Lin, but she didn't know where to start.
Because this is her personal experience.
She had always hated the power she inherited, but when faced with the bandits who broke into her home and intended to harm her father, she used her own power to reduce them to ash.
What if their father hadn't died in the fight between the sisters, but had been murdered by a group of thugs...
Even if the criminals sincerely repented at that time, she could not guarantee that she could really suppress the anger in her heart and forgive them like she forgave other criminals.
What is justice? What is corruption?
Morgana couldn't help but ask herself.
What my sister Kyle did was not righteous, but were my past actions really as depraved as the world claims?
Morgana was silent for a long moment. "You have a talent for debate, child."
She shook her head and chuckled, then slowly said, "But if you're trying to convince me with just these, then I can only say that you've made a wrong calculation."
really……
This kind of extreme brought about by the power of the stars cannot be achieved by talking alone.
Li Lin couldn't help but frown.
"No matter what, I have completely abandoned my past code of conduct," Morgana said. "Justice is just a high-sounding word, and I will shatter this cracked and false shield, even if it means standing on the opposite side of the world."
She was getting more and more arrogant, but it was not directed at Li Lin.
Morgana's purple childlike eyes looked towards the southwest with a stern expression. She seemed to have sensed something, and she raised her hands to form a ball of cold, dark flame, which she then extinguished.
"Every step I take is a path I choose in the flames of pain."
She said coldly, "If people need a villain, then I will be the villain!"
