Chapter 207 This child must not be kept
"The story goes like this..."
"There was a hero whose parents were killed by his enemies when he was young. He practiced hard for twenty years and finally became a master. He found the enemy and wiped out his family to avenge him."
"But just as the hero was about to leave, he discovered that there was a child of a few years old still alive in his enemy's home."
"At that time, the hero had a piece of candy that the children loved to eat and a knife in his hand."
"The hero handed the candy and the knife to the child at the same time."
"Master, what do you think the child will choose?"
[He was holding candy and a knife.]
The little girl's voice was clear and pleasant. After she briefly told the story, the smile on Mr. Cai's face, who had been listening to the story with great interest, suddenly disappeared.
"If I were that kid, I'd take the candy."
"The hero in this story, since he is willing to give candy, doesn't seem to want to kill everyone."
"The hatred of the previous generation will not affect the next generation."
"As long as the child lets go of his hatred, he might be able to live a peaceful life."
Although Old Man Feng goes out in wind and rain, he actually has great principles.
"But Master, he saw the hero kill his entire family with his own eyes, there is no way he would forget it."
"Just like the heroes back then, didn't they never let go of their hatred?"
Ji Qionghua reminded with a smile.
"He chose candy, which shows that this child is extremely cunning. We must not keep him."
The long-drawn sound seemed to contain a hint.
"What if the child chooses the knife?"
Tang Niang continued curiously.
"He chose a knife, which shows that he has a strong murderous nature. We must not keep him alive."
The fact that he chose the knife only shows that he wanted revenge. If he had been saved, perhaps this child would have become the hero's descendant in a few years.
Two choices, same outcome. Tang Niang spread her hands, indicating that she didn't know either.
"But what if he chooses neither?"
Master Cai took over.
The wine glass in his hand was already empty, but he did not put it down. He looked at Ji Qionghua with urgent desire.
As if craving for an answer.
"If he doesn't choose either of the two, it means he is a traitor. We must not keep him."
Human nature is complex. People can be afraid of death or they can rise up in resistance.
Those who have no desires and no demands are gods, not humans.
When one person wants nothing, the other party is likely planning something bigger.
This answer made Master Cai's eyes become complicated. He turned his head towards Cai Zhuo for a moment, but held back.
"Miss Ji, this story can be told. What if the child chose both?"
Cai Zhuo spoke softly.
He placed one hand on the chair behind Master Cai, and his eyes, which should have been smiling, became deep and indifferent.
The next moment, the look in his eyes returned to normal.
"He wants both, which shows that he is extremely greedy. Similarly... he must not be allowed to stay."
Ji Qionghua looked directly into Cai Zhuo's eyes and spoke these words word by word.
"So doesn't that mean that the final ending of this story can only be the death of that child?"
Cai Zhuo asked again, his deep tone made all the martial artists in the room sensitive.
Tang Niang grabbed Tang Wuyou's hand, and Tang Li sat up straight. Under his palm, the alcohol was forced out by his internal force.
Even Lin Yao leaned towards Ji Qionghua.
Only Old Man Feng was there, leaning back in his chair and picking his teeth, as if nothing had happened.
"Yes."
"Since he was so cruel and merciless that he slaughtered the entire family, it means that the hero was not a good person."
"Killing that child is the right thing to do."
"Otherwise, it will just be revenge from generation to generation until one day, all the relatives of one party are slaughtered."
It is hard to imagine that a five-year-old child could utter such words.
Ji Qionghua played with the whistle in his hand, lowering his brows to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.
[On the one hand, he killed the whole family, and on the other hand, he pretended to be kind and spared the child's life. ]
【That is not kindness, that is stupidity. 】
【It is a road to self-destruction. 】
The cold voice in the heart tells the truth.
Ji Qionghua quickly curled the corners of her lips again, she swung her legs, and her beautiful eyes curved into crescents.
"It's just a story, don't take it to heart."
"Just consider it as a thank you for this wonderful dinner."
"Brother Cai, do you like this story?"
Ji Qionghua tilted her head and looked at Cai Zhuo.
The innocence and purity of a child come so naturally to her.
Even though they knew that the girl in front of them was not an ordinary person, they couldn't bear to say anything harsh when looking at Ji Qionghua like this.
"Children's words are unbridled."
Lin Yao patted Ji Qionghua on the head and said, "Didn't I tell you not to read these weird books? When I get back, how am I going to explain this to your mother...mother?"
Lin Yao's words dispelled the strange atmosphere.
Ji Qionghua made a face and jumped off the chair with a puffed cheek.
"I'm full, I'm going to take a walk."
The little girl's staggering figure was very cute. Lin Yao laughed and did not follow her.
Old Man Feng was patting his belly, looking at the remaining food, wondering whether he should eat some more.
Tang Wuyou's eyes rolled, and then he followed Ji Qionghua.
The two little dolls disappeared into the dining room.
The villa was very big, and Ji Qionghua walked slowly, remembering the way he came.
"Hey!"
Tang Wuyou's voice sounded from behind, but Ji Qionghua pretended not to hear it and continued to move forward, even quickening his pace a little.
However, in terms of stride length, she still cannot compare to Tang Wuyou.
Tang Wuyou quickly ran to Ji Qionghua, grabbed Ji Qionghua's arm, and questioned angrily.
"Why are you ignoring me?"
Tang Wuyou was very angry and felt humiliated.
He had never tried to please anyone like this before, but she still didn't appreciate it.
"First, my name is not Hello. I have a name."
"second……"
Ji Qionghua looked at the man holding her hand and was speechless.
"You and I just met by chance. There is no relationship between us. Why should I care about you?"
"Are you overly self-conscious, or do you think everyone in the world has to smile at you?"
As her highness the princess, she never thought of making everyone obey her.
There are many people in the palace who hate her. As long as they don't come in front of her, can't they live well?
"third……"
"I advise you to let it go, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
She could understand that Tang Wuyou had no ill intentions, but that didn't mean she had to do things according to Tang Wuyou's rules.
Just because he pleases me, does that mean I have to like him?
This is not an equation.
"you hate me?"
Tang Wuyou's voice became louder and he grabbed Ji Qionghua's hand tightly.
That icy face turned red because he was angry.
Ji Qionghua, who was in pain, had a slight look of annoyance on her face.
She grabbed Tang Wuyou's arm, pulled him towards herself, and then threw him over her shoulder.
After learning martial arts, her strength cannot be underestimated.
The ground is paved with pebbles and is uneven. It would be very uncomfortable to fall on it.
Tang Wuyou suddenly bared his teeth, his eyes red like a mouse.
