Impure motives



"The monsters the villagers are talking about are probably spirit beasts. However, these spirit beasts are often hidden in the mountains and are extremely psychic. They are not easily tamed."

"How could it be so unheard of that such a large number of spirit beasts could be tamed, endangering the people of a region, and with such a grand scale?"

Luo Wen remained silent. While Su Luoyin calmly analyzed the situation, he turned his gaze and regarded her thoughtfully. He had to admit, she had improved considerably these days, no longer as reckless as before. This was a good thing; it was time to start planning for the future.

Luo Wen was calmly thinking about his own things, and Su Luoyin obviously didn't notice Luo Wen's abnormality, but was just thinking quietly.

"That's their business." Luo Wen finally spoke, but his tone was extremely cold.

"But they begged me so much, I really..." Su Luoyin paused, the pitiful faces of the villagers at that time and Wanwan's pure eyes, so clear, looking at her... with pleading. Thinking of the tragedy they were about to face... How could she bear it?

Su Luoyin's eyes were filled with reluctance. Seeing that Luo Wen didn't seem to want to care about this matter, Su Luoyin still forced a smile and continued to insist, "Besides, they have been so kind to us and didn't threaten us. Instead, they treated us like hosts. We can't just leave after eating and drinking, right?"

Seeing Su Luoyin's sympathy, Luo Wen remained unmoved. "When ordinary people see a cultivator, whether they are immortals or demons, they will subconsciously dodge, fearing that they will be in danger."

"Why do you think they were so attentive to you in the beginning?"

It hit the nail on the head. Su Luoyin froze in place, speechless for a moment. She knew it. When those people saw them, their first reaction was utter fear. Then, seeing they were just passing through, they slowly began to develop ulterior motives. Presumably, they simply felt that compared to those who wanted to kill them, they were easier to talk to. If they treated them well, they might even help eliminate another threat.

That's why we win them over like this.

Just like now, after entertaining them, those people quickly disappeared, fearing that they would cause them even the slightest trouble. He thought, if he fought those people and was defeated miserably, they could say that he had forcibly occupied their place and that the trouble was their own fault.

She knew it.

In the end, it was just that he couldn't bear it. Su Luoyin felt a little tired, so he gently closed his eyes.

No matter when, no matter what she becomes, she still hopes that there is a trace of justice in this world. Even in this place where the strong prey on the weak, even in this place where only the strong survive and the weak bow their heads and kneel, she still hopes that there can be a trace of innocence.

Just like Wanwan, that little girl, that was... hope. Su Luoyin felt a little strange, wondering if she was really old, that was why she was so sentimental. She thought that person must be saying something to her again, or even slapping her on the forehead.

Thinking this way, Su Luoyin couldn't help but smile faintly. Luo Wen saw it, but it was particularly glaring. He lowered his tone and said with a hint of hesitation, "Actually, you don't have to worry. Someone with such power would definitely not be willing to stay in such a desolate place. I'm afraid that in a short time, the people here will no longer be threatened by them."
