This girl is a streetwalker in the demon world

Surprisingly, Lin Yuzhou said that the real Jiujiu is this machine.

"This is the latest research result of the rational school, which can distort the cognition of mortals within a certain range." Lin Yuzhou said, "Second Aunt is a miserable woman. The trouble in her family is also related to us. Of course, we will help her if we can, hoping to untie her knot. At that time, I asked Second Aunt what she wanted most with several classmates. She said that she only wanted her daughter and husband, and asked us to return them to her."

"So, you used this to distort the perception of the entire village, making everyone mistakenly believe that Jiujiu is still alive?" An Ling felt a surge of anger in her heart, and said angrily: "You are so cruel! Once Second Aunt knows the truth, she will go crazy!"

Lin Yuzhou sighed softly, put his hands behind his back, and said quietly: "At that time, she had lost all hope of survival. If we hadn't stopped her, she would have committed suicide. Under this premise, do you still think we were harming her?"

An Ling was breathing heavily. The trade-off between long-term pain and short-term pain kept appearing in her mind. No matter which one she chose, she felt that she was harming others.

An Ling angrily said, "Then why did you destroy her family in the first place? Her husband and daughter got into trouble because of the academy!"

Lin Yuzhou looked at An Ling with pity, and that look made An Ling feel sick. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is all inevitable fate. Even if it wasn't her husband who got into trouble, there would be other families like hers that got into trouble. All we can do is try our best to remedy the situation."

An Ling recalled the topic she had discussed with Guo Zichou before, but the two things were completely unrelated. One was a controllable factor and the other was an uncontrollable factor. The decision was clearly in her own hands, so why did the same outcome occur?

"Junior sister, don't be anxious. I know you are a sword cultivator from Canglan Mountain and you have a straightforward personality. I will not force my philosophy on you. I only ask you to listen to the cause and effect of this matter before making a conclusion."

An Ling stretched out her hand, motioning for him to continue.

Lin Yuzhou said: "Aunt Zhou's husband is called Zhou Sanyi, and he is from Zhoujia Village in the east. He is eager for success and always dreams of becoming rich overnight."

"That time, several of my fellow students from the rational school came to Zhoujia Village with their incomplete machines. They just said that they hoped to rent a few plots of land for a fee so that they could continue their experiments."

"This kind of thing is very common near Jiangning. After all, we pay enough money. The people can get nearly two years' income by renting out their fields once. This is definitely a win-win situation."

"My fellow apprentices were researching a machine that uses spiritual power to automatically cultivate the land. This is a difficult problem that the academy has been working on for many years but has yet to solve. They were fearless and hoped to make a splash with this, but they never imagined that it would lead to a disaster."

"Zhou Sanyi was jealous of the neighbor's land that we rented out and made a fortune, so he came to the field in the middle of the night, ready to sabotage it. Even if he didn't break the scholars' machines, he would poison the neighbor's field."

An Ling was shocked. "Hack the machine? Poison? Is he crazy?"

Lin Yuzhou nodded heavily and said, "Yes, he did so."

"At midnight, he went out into the fields and scattered iron nails on the ground where the machines might pass."

"But he didn't notice that the machine was running non-stop even at night. By the time he realized there was a huge shadow coming from behind, it was too late. He was crushed to death."

An Ling was silent. It sounded like this man's death was not unjust.

Lin Yuzhou observed An Ling's facial expressions, as if he had the ability to read her mind, and said with a smile: "Junior sister, do you think he deserves it?"

Without waiting for An Ling to answer, Lin Yuzhou continued, "We later investigated and found out that the land that the academy wanted to rent originally belonged to his family, but his neighbor used some underhanded means to put laxatives in his family's water tank, causing the whole family to suffer from unbearable diarrhea. That's why they missed the opportunity to rent the land."

An Ling cried out, she actually didn't know how to react after what Lin Yuzhou said.

Lin Yuzhou said: "If we were monks, we would think that it was because we came to Zhoujia Village that this injustice happened, and we would attribute all the causes and consequences to ourselves; if we were Taoists, we might think that life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God, and everything is just the fault of mediocre mortals; if we were sword cultivators, hehe..." He glanced at An Ling, and the meaning was self-evident.

Then he changed the subject, "But we are from Shanhai Academy, and we are more interested in how to solve the subsequent problems, so we have this replica of 'Desire Realm Red Dust'."

"Anyone who has come into contact with the 'Desire Realm' can see the pre-set scenes, or even be there in person. Not only can they see, they can even hear and touch them. The child will gradually 'grow up' as time goes by. Do you still think we are harming her?"

An Ling pondered for a moment and replied, "I think this question makes sense. If there is an illusion that is exactly the same as reality, people will immerse themselves in it and obtain what they want but cannot obtain. However, an illusion is only an illusion after all. It is not the real reality anyway. For example, Aunt Zhou asked me to watch Jiujiu, but I was just a passerby and could not fit in with their collective fantasy. Therefore, no matter how similar an illusion is to reality, it is still an illusion after all."

Lin Yuzhou smiled and said, "I understand. Junior Sister An is indeed a wise person. There is an allusion in Taoism about dreaming of a butterfly: Zhuangzi dreamed of a butterfly or the butterfly dreamed of a person? For those who are in the middle of it, who can tell the difference? Why should we interfere with other people's choices? Isn't it enough for ordinary people to live a happy life?"

An Ling sighed. Even she had to admit that Lin Yuzhou was really good at debate. "I am being nosy. It seems that Senior Brother Lin has already made a plan. Senior Brother Lin is really a wise man. It seems that Senior Brother Lin will be the headmaster in the future."

As early as when Lin Yuzhou recognized her, An Ling knew that Lin Yuzhou's identity was definitely not simple. She only knew Lu Zhanchi. Old Lu had promised her that he would tell the headmaster about her illness and itinerary, and also tell him about Liu Xiahui's heroic deeds in the East China Sea. Only the people closest to the headmaster could know such things.

Lin Yuzhou smiled calmly and said, "It's fate. If my classmates support me, I will do my best. If there are other talented people, I will also be very happy. It is a blessing that the academy has talented people from generation to generation."

An Ling let out a cry, touched her nose, chuckled, and said no more.

At this moment, a familiar chilling feeling came over her from behind!

Lin Yuzhou was shocked: "This! How is this possible!"
