"Are you still worried about what Liu Songming said?"
Li Wei did not hide it and nodded sullenly.
"Damn it!" Zhang Luye threw his fan to the ground and started cursing. "How dare a guy hiding in the back wielding a pen get mad at you? Wait, I'm going to chop him down right now!"
As he spoke, he threw away the fan, and light and shadow surged in his hand, revealing a door-panel knife.
"Don't make trouble!" Yun Heng glared at him.
Zhang Luye shrank his neck, put away the knife in dismay, picked up the fan, and dared not say a word.
Yun Heng then turned to Li Wei and for the first time spoke slowly with a tolerant and elder-like attitude.
"Girl, don't take Liu Songming's words to heart."
Li Wei remained silent.
Yun Heng continued, "Strong people are also human beings. They have families and friends."
"As a human being, you have feelings, and you don't want anything to happen to your family or friends."
"It's human nature and nothing to be ashamed of."
"If a strong man fights on the front lines, the people he cares about are being bullied in the rear, their safety and livelihood are not guaranteed."
"Then...is there any hope for humans like this?"
His voice was calm, yet had a soothing power.
"Besides, do you think Liu Songming's actions are really for the greater good and for the sake of the war?"
"He's just taking revenge on you and making things difficult for you."
"You, alone, have accomplished what ten legions could not. To satisfy you and bring you satisfaction is to truly serve the greater good and the war situation!"
After hearing Yun Heng's words, Li Wei was a little surprised.
Yeah, why were you so stubborn before?
I want to protect more people, so I will make more contributions.
If I alone could calm the abyss, wouldn't all of humanity enjoy the "privilege" I brought?
Zhang Luye stared at the side, brushing the secret sauce on the sizzling roasted whole lamb and nodding frequently.
By the time Yun Heng finished speaking, the lamb was almost roasted.
He raised his knife and cut off the two tenderest lamb legs, handing one to Li Wei and the other to Yun Heng.
"Big sister, what's there to be so entangled about?!"
Zhang Luye tore off a large piece of lamb chop, took a big bite, and said incoherently:
"Damn it, when my dad died, I cried in my house all day and all night."
"Later, my second brother, eldest son, youngest daughter...all died in the war..."
"The day my daughter died, I swore that I would achieve the Dao of Martial Immortal and level this bird passage. I, Old Zhang, cannot bear the loss of any more relatives!"
"What kind of righteousness is this? If I, Zhang Luye, can pacify Western Xinjiang, who dares to say that the Zhang family doesn't have righteousness?"
He took a big gulp of wine, and his eyes became moist.
