Cedric looked at her with his grey crystal eyes and nodded slightly.

Sun Zhu took a deep breath, withdrew his hand, and saw the bartender peeking at him not far away. After hesitating for a moment, he pushed his hairy head away.

"How heartless..." he muttered.

"You are worthless, you can't blame me for being greedy." She had a wooden face, touched the string of Xumi beads on her wrist, and said hesitantly: "Actually, I'm still a little unsure..."

"Do you need me to swear to Merlin?" The furry head took the opportunity to come closer, "Or, swear to any god you believe in."

"To be honest, you probably haven't heard of the god I believe in, and he can't control what happens here." Sun Zhu suppressed his laughter, "This matter has nothing to do with you. If I doubt you again, I'm afraid many people will want to scold me."

Although she has lived in the magical world for more than ten years, she still has no faith. It is better to rely on herself than on others, or to pray to God... They are not even more reliable than Tongzi and Uncle Long, and even if they work, they are just like distant water that cannot quench immediate thirst.

In her previous life, the only thing she often talked about was the various gods of wealth. Therefore, she doesn't have to worry about gold galleons now. It can be seen that the gods of wealth are still effective, but there is a delay.

"If anyone scolds you, I will scold you back for you." Someone hummed and began to express his determination, "So, who else can make you so upset?"

"There are still many people." She looked at his slender fingers placed beside her legs and counted them in her mind. "They are actually just like the big black dog. They know nothing. But I think that even if they knew, it wouldn't matter at all."

In fact, it was her own wishful thinking that secretly regarded them as the mission targets; it was her own decision that arbitrarily changed the fate of others; it was her own self-movement that did not allow others to doubt her intentions.

How arrogant and self-righteous. Thinking about it carefully, she subconsciously accepted the unsatisfactory task as soon as the system issued it to her. She never thought about whether this ending was what they wanted.

For example, Dumbledore designed his own ending. After losing Lily, Snape probably had nothing else to rely on to continue this hopeless life immersed in the pain of missing her. And Sirius, if he had another chance, he probably wouldn't abandon Harry like that, but he certainly wouldn't stop his revenge for any reason.

Wouldn't it be ridiculous if I interfered with their path under the banner of salvation?

She was angry today because of Sirius's few unclear probing words. In the future, would she try to further control their thoughts and behaviors because she did more and more things that she thought were right?

"If you don't understand, just ask directly." Cedric's soft voice came, "I believe you have no intention of harming others, so what can't you say directly?"

"How should I ask?" She smiled helplessly, "Although I don't hurt anyone, I have lied to many people."

"Just start with me." He said, "If you have anything you are unsure about in the future, you can let me do it first."

Sun Zhu turned around and glared at him, and he slightly bent his lips, looking very serious: "Really, I will tell you the truth, even if you may not like it."

"Well, let me ask you." She lowered her eyes and asked him, "If one day in the future, you are asked to represent Hufflepuff, or even Hogwarts, to participate in a national-level competition to win glory for the school and the entire British wizarding world. But you will be in danger and may even lose your life. Will you still insist on going?"

He was stunned for a moment: "Me? Representing the entire Hogwarts?"

"The key point is the last sentence! Did the big black dog infect you with this ability to grasp the key points?" Sun Zhu was speechless. "Besides, what's so surprising about this? Besides you, who else is more qualified?"

He lowered his head in embarrassment and clenched his fists slightly. After a moment, he looked at her with determination in his eyes: "If I really have this honor, then there is no reason to refuse. But I will remember what you said and will never let anything happen to myself."

"How can you guarantee that? You know, this world is full of accidents and misfortunes. Any unexpected event may make us..." She pointed at the shabby-looking roof of the Hog's Head Pub. "For example, if it suddenly collapses, at least half of the people here will not be able to escape. How can you be sure that you will be fine?"

He looked upwards and saw that the wooden ceiling was uneven, covered with cobwebs, and had some old stains. He subconsciously pushed the glass of water that the bartender had just brought him a little further away.

Sun Zhu suppressed his laughter and looked at him thoughtfully, finally saying: "Zhu, you also said that unfortunate things in this world always happen randomly and cannot be predicted. So, since there is a possibility of accidents no matter what you do, why not let go and do what you want to do."

"What you want to do is indeed of great significance, but it is far more dangerous than sitting here and chatting." She did not say what he would definitely do, because she knew that she would definitely change the ending, but she still wanted to ask, "Are some things more important than being able to stay with your loved ones in the future? If you knew the result in advance, would you still go to the danger?"

"Zhu, if you know everything, please tell me, can I avoid that danger by myself?" He clenched his fists, looked at her and said, "What if I am much stronger in the future, and still cannot avoid it?"

She shook her head. "Maybe, when you are on guard. But what I fear most is that there will be other variables."

After all, many things have changed from the original story now. It's not impossible for something unexpected to happen in the third round of the semi-finals.

"It sounds like a difficult problem, but I think I can definitely overcome the danger." He smiled and looked at her steadily: "Because you have appeared in front of me. You are the future, my confidence in facing all dangers. You are also my motivation to defeat all enemies."

"…What about Aunt Fiona and the others?"

"......one of them." He said without any guilt.

Sun Zhu covered his face with one hand and pressed his chest with the other. He calmed down and said, "I know. I am sure what I should do."

She withdrew her hand and took off a string of emerald beads that were surrounded by brilliant light from her wrist. Her obsidian eyes were full of lightness and determination.
