[What's so hard to understand? This is the market situation these days.]
[When bad people commit evil, they ask, "What did I do wrong?" When good people fail to do things well, they will not only condemn themselves, but others will also come out to condemn the good people.]
[No matter which dimension it is, the good guys are always responsible for suffering losses, while the bad guys are responsible for enjoying themselves, so this system thinks...]
You don't want me to lose my bottom line and become a beast, do you?
[Yes, otherwise, you can see it from Otto. ]
[He did a lot of beastly things, but some people ignored them and tried to whitewash him.]
[Look at Walter again, who worked so hard to save the world that his body was covered in bruises, but ended up being scolded to death for not managing his men well. ]
In fact, I think that it is not something worthy of praise that Old Yang did not manage Cocolia well.
[Yes, but the current market situation is like this. If you do evil, you will be praised to the sky, and if you do good things but don’t do them thoroughly, you will be trampled into the gutter. Facing such a market situation, your choice is of course -]
Who wants to be a beast without bottom line?
Looking at Fu Hua who was still blaming herself, Lin Yu said to the system unhappily.
I would rather be a person with a bottom line who worries about trivial matters than be a beast who feels at ease after harming others.
Maybe the latter would be really cool, but the education my parents gave me destined me to never choose the latter evil path.
It doesn’t matter if Master can’t figure out what she has done. I will help her understand what she has done.
[Oh oh oh, is it coming? Your best mouth cannon tactics! ]
Is there a possibility that I am just going to tell the truth?
"Master, I came here today hoping to have a good chat with you, but to be honest, I am very disappointed."
Looking at Fu Hua, whose eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, Lin Yu said to Fu Hua with a bad look.
"Master is the Red Kite Immortal who protects Shenzhou. He is the pioneer who survived to this day carrying the faith of his companions in the previous era. He is also the mentor who taught me the magic skills and found the magic weapon for me."
"Why do you feel guilty about all the good things you've done?"
"From the past to the present, you have protected countless humans, helped humans defeat countless monsters, and become one of the most dazzling heroes in the world. You have done so many good things, can it be that..."
"——Shouldn't you be proud?"
[Yes, look at what our apprentice said! ]
[What did I do wrong, Fu Hua? I did nothing wrong! ]
[Alas, the disciple still loves the master - let me out! I want to talk to my disciple! ]
To shut up!
After angrily scolding the struggling consciousness in her body, Fu Hua looked at Lin Yu with a more complicated look.
"Lin Yu, maybe in your eyes, I am indeed such a person."
"But the way everyone looks at other people is completely different from the way they look at themselves."
"I failed to complete the plan left by my companions in the past, and caused the death of other companions who were traveling with me."
"And since then, as a pioneer, I have not been able to lead others forward. I can only use the power I gained from my companions and the lowest level of violence to prevent the evil deeds of Honkai."
"Even until the end, I failed to teach and protect my disciples well, causing myself and my disciples to face some sufferings that we shouldn't have to face."
"In your eyes, I am the world-famous Red Kite Immortal, but in my own eyes..."
“Maybe I have always been a loser.”
[How on earth do you, Herrscher, talk like that! ]
[I, Fu Hua, tried my best to solve the collapse. Could it be that I could have predicted that the fire plan left by those guys would go wrong? ]
[This blame is not mine! And it is not my fault that those seven evildoers betrayed me! ]
[To put it simply, those who have been severely eroded by Honkai energy and may become dead at any time must be dealt with - what's wrong with this sect rule! What's wrong with our actions! 】
[And Lixue - it wasn't Otto who had to do those things. I had already defeated Xilin at that time. It was all Otto's fault that Lixue died! ]
Yeah, what about Lin Yu?
[My disciples don’t think there’s anything wrong with me, so why should I think there’s something wrong with me! ]
[You are the Herrscher, a lackey of Honkai, you are my enemy! ]
[The more the enemy opposes me, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing! ]
Faced with the Herrscher of Consciousness's almost specious statement, Fu Hua was too lazy to continue paying attention to him.
This kind of conscious individual has a mature logic that can help her improve her self-cognition.
No matter what Fu Hua said to her, in the end, the Herrscher of Knowledge would use various methods to circumvent it and come to the conclusion that "You, the Herrscher, are confusing my mind, I am Fu Hua."
Forget it, forget it, I shouldn’t have wasted time on this guy today.
“If failure means not being able to do everything to the best of your ability, then there would be no successful people in this world.”
Facing Fu Hua's self-condemnation, Lin Yu once again moved close to Fu Hua's body.
Faced with this 'apprentice' who kept approaching her, Fu Hua wanted to distance herself from him.
But in the end, even though she had this thought, Fu Hua inexplicably forced her body to stay where it was.
"Master has basically done everything he can do. In this case - is there any point in self-condemnation?"
"...You really think too highly of me."
Listening to Lin Yu's praise, Fu Hua tried to calm herself down from the quarrel with the Herrscher of Knowledge, and whispered to Lin Yu.
"Five hundred years ago, after I was seriously injured, I became Otto's ally..."
"No, I say we are allies, but in fact I can say that I have become his subordinate. It's just that he left me some face, so he didn't order me around. Instead, he called me 'old friend'."
[Humph, if he wasn't worried that I would explode with him if he pushed me too far, why would he be so nice to us? ]
Ignoring the words of the Herrscher of Consciousness, Fu Hua continued to speak to Lin Yu.
"But no matter what my identity was, I had assisted Otto."
"After I realized his true intentions, I realized how stupid I had been in the past."
"You may already know that Otto is not a good person, but you may not know..."
"——He may not have been prepared to fight against Honkai from the beginning."
"For this person who allowed the collapse to develop, instead of standing up to stop him, I became his ally and objectively assisted him in allowing the collapse to develop."
"After knowing the past between Otto and me, Lin Yu, do you still think the so-called 'Red Kite Immortal' is a dazzling hero?"
"Well, I still think that Master is a dazzling hero."
After speaking his mind directly, Lin Yu pointed to Fu Hua, who suddenly began to avoid his gaze, and spoke word by word.
"Master, you may have done something wrong, but after doing it, you can clearly know that there are mistakes in your actions, and then try to make up for it."
"You are just a flawed hero. You don't have to let these reasons cause you to fall into endless guilt and regret."
No more.
I really can't take it anymore.
Just by looking at him, I could actually feel myself growing weak.
[Hey, it's good that you feel weak, let me out, I want to chat with my apprentice! ]
[Hey, don't run! ]
Fu Hua, who didn't want to continue facing Lin Yu at this time, suddenly prepared to turn around and leave Lin Yu's sight.
But at this moment, a scarlet barrier enveloped the area where the two were.
"Lin Yu, you——"
"I'm sorry, Master, I won't let you escape today."
Looking at the stunned Fu Hua, Lin Yu took a step forward and suddenly hugged Fu Hua tightly in his arms.
"Besides, Master has always been pushing himself too hard."
"Master, who has been forcing himself to fight, might be tired by now."
"What are you doing!"
Fu Hua, who felt a sense of security in an instant, suddenly began to struggle frantically in Lin Yu's arms.
"let me go!"
"No."
Lin Yu, who was hugging Fu Hua tightly, could feel that although Fu Hua wanted to break free from his arms, she didn't want to hurt Lin Yu's body at the same time.
Perhaps it was because Fu Hua had punched through Lin Yu's body under the interference of the Honkai consciousness and the Herrscher of Knowledge, which caused her very serious PTSD. At this time, Fu Hua had almost recovered to her peak strength, but because she did not dare to use her strength, she was easily suppressed by Lin Yu.
"Are you crazy!"
Fu Hua, who was struggling at this time, angrily scolded Lin Yu in a cold voice.
"You don't even listen to Master's words, what do you want to do?!"
"Master Fu Hua, I am a greedy person. I am insatiable. In fact, I have always been more than just a pure revenge ghost."
Lin Yu, who was hugging Fu Hua, looked at Fu Hua's extremely panicked face and spoke to her calmly.
"I am greedy, but I hope that everyone around me... no, all the good people in this world can get the happiness they deserve."
"And this also includes you, Master."
"Master, you are a shining hero, but you have always been forcing yourself to act without ever considering your own personal feelings."
"After ignoring your own personal feelings, you..."
"——How can you obtain the happiness you deserve?"
"My, happiness?"
Listening to Lin Yu's words, Fu Hua was slightly stunned.
Then she struggled even harder.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"You know exactly what I want to say, Master."
"If Master cannot obtain happiness, then I will try my best to bring happiness to Master, so..."
Facing the woman in front of him, Lin Yu suddenly pushed Fu Hua to the ground.
With a violent impact on her back, Fu Hua was stared at by Lin Yu, and she didn't know what to say.
"Master, please don't blame me."
"Now, I, the disciple, am going to 'deceive my master and destroy my ancestors'."
Facing the young man in front of her, Fu Hua didn't have time to say anything before he blocked her lips.
In the magic lantern barrier that no one can see...
——Lin Yu and Fu Hua achieved great harmony in life.

Taixu Mountain
At the foot of Taixu Mountain, Mei, Bronya, and Yuno, who had started the action early this morning, looked at the members of the Taixu Sword Sect who stopped them, and at the same time revealed a bit of helplessness.
"Sir, we are really Ban... acquaintances of the Immortal."
"We are visiting today because we have important matters to discuss with the Immortal."
"We don't expect the immortal to receive us, but - can you at least inform us?"
Looking at the Far Eastern girl in front of him, Li Pu said to Raiden Mei with great embarrassment.
"Ms. Raiden Mei, I have met you once before, so I know that you were once a colleague of the immortal who was dormant on the side of Tianming."
"Actually, it's not just you. Miss Yuno, Miss Zaychek, and Lord Lin Yu and the Immortal are all familiar with each other. I know that."
"Well, you know that we are familiar with the immortal, so why don't you let us go up?"
Looking at the embarrassed man in front of her, Bronya asked Li Pu calmly.
