Qing Shui and Wenren Wu-Shuang walked towards the Night Fragrance Court together. The night market on the streets was bustling with noise and excitement; everywhere people were talking and laughing. The main attractions of the night market were snacks and refreshments, but of course there were also antiques and small toys as well.
The most common types of people in the night market were families, young lovers, some closer friends, or youths who had feelings for each other!
“Big brother, your girlfriend is so pretty! Buy a flower for her!” A childish voice sounded.
Qing Shui tilted his head down, and saw a little girl who was around five years old. She had a huge pair of eyes, but they didn’t have much energy. In the basket that she was holding, there were about ten roses.
Qing Shui looked at this little girl. The way she talked was very child-like. He didn’t deny the relationship between Wenren Wu-Shuang and himself because the girl was too young. However, Wenren Wu-Shuang’s face was flushing with red, but Qing Shui was already kneeling in front of the girl. “Little girl, how can you sell flowers at such an early age? Where is your family?”
“Big brother, your girlfriend is so beautiful. Buy a flower for her!” The little girl widened her big eyes and stared hopefully at Qing Shui.
Qing Shui sighed, took a flower, and handed the little girl a tael of silver. He reached out his hand to rub her small head, and silently injected light pressure on her Muchuang, Zhenying, Fengling, Naokong, and Fengfu acupoints.
“Thank you big brother!”
The little girl left without even realizing that Qing Shui gave her more than silver. Though she did know to say thank you, she looked extremely slow-witted.
When she saw Qing Shui sigh, Wenren Wu-Shuang quietly said, “You already gave her a tael of silver. That should be enough to support her for a while.”
Qing Shui shook his head. “That money won’t stay in her hands. Didn’t you notice that she could only speak two sentences?”
Wenren Wu-Shuang frowned. Though she was very intelligent, she did not think too deeply about the incident. “Are you trying to say that someone else is controlling her?”
“Yes, so it doesn’t matter how much more money we give her. I’m just trying my best, and hoping that whoever is acting behind her would let her have a full meal because of this tael of silver.”
Qing Shui was not pretending to be smart by saying all of this. His family in his previous life was average. Since he came from the countryside, he knew the difficulties of being poor. When he went to the city to study later, he saw too many rich people, and he developed a hatred for the rich. Whenever he saw beggars in the street, whether it was real or fake, he would take money out of his pocket. He tried his best to help the terribly tragic situations of the poor.
He didn’t ask for anything in return, and believed that others who did these same kinds of things would know. He only wanted to do his part. Some of the poor, wouldn’t even have access to cultivation techniques, which sealed them in an unending cycle of poverty. Only through strength, would enable you to lead a better life in this cultivation-oriented world.
Wenren Wushuang’s impression of Qing Shui suddenly got better by loads. The warmth of her eyes as she regarded Qing Shui, was different from the past. At this moment, she only felt that Qing Shui was extremely charismatic, and it was not because of the help he gave the girl, but because of the state of his heart!
“Then why didn’t you save that little girl?” Wenren Wu-Shuang asked, puzzled.
“There would always be a reason behind why it existed, this is not a stand-alone case, this is the evilness inherent in humanity. I don’t have the ability, even if I saved the little girl, so what? She wouldn’t be happy. Moreover, we have the consider the safety of the family of the little girl. If we save the girl, would the other party get revenge on them?”
Looking at the despondent look on Wu-Shuang’s face, Qing Shui replied, “Okay, stop thinking about it, I believe there would be fairness for her. Good exists within evil, and light exists within darkness. If there were no villains in this world, how would there be good people?”
The eyes which Wu-Shuang regarded Qing Shui with, shined with a bright glow, “Your thinking is weird, but it seems to make sense in a strange sort of way.
Qing Shui laughed bitterly, so does that means he had logic or not? This must be the Dao of “Warped Logic”!
