Chapter 392: A Clash of Wills

After getting along with Lu Xiao, Chen Jingqiu and others for a while, Tuoba Yuer will also have some self-awareness of her own character flaws.

Reckless, willful, and emotional, once she is hot-blooded, she will ignore many details that should be noticed, and her stubborn personality makes it easy for her to get into the horns.

In the process of traveling together, Yu'er not only has a clear understanding of her own personality, but also has a lot of understanding of her partners.

Especially Yongzhen, who has always taken care of and taught her martial arts, and Lu Xiao, who will guide and persuade her from time to time.

Long before Chen Jingqiu and Xiaoxue joined the team, Lu Xiao solemnly asked Yu'er about her ultimate goal.

"Why did you decide to assassinate Yang Guang?"

"Just want to avenge the blood feud of your parents and clansmen? Or do you subconsciously think that Yang Guang's death will have a positive impact on the situation in the world? ”

Under the in-depth analysis of the questions raised by Lu Xiao, Yu'er began to face her heart for the first time.

It is natural to avenge her parents, and Yu'er never thinks that her motives are wrong.

But just like Lu Xiao's question, she began to examine the hidden thirst hidden under the motive for revenge.

If it was Yu'er who had just come out of the Tuoba tribe, she might not hesitate to answer, she decided to assassinate Yang Guang in order to complete her revenge.

But after living in the Sui world far away from the Tuoba tribe for a while, her thinking gradually changed somewhat.

Not all Sui people are cruel and tyrannical people like Yang Guang, except that the living customs are different from those of Xianbei people, and the Sui people with thousands of faces have different personalities and life demands.

Some people were submissive under Yang Guang's oppression, and some people could not bear the heavy taxes and chose to rise up and join the forces determined to overthrow Yang Guang's tyranny.

Yu'er doesn't blindly think that everyone in her tribe is a good person, and she once executed the clansmen who were traitors on behalf of the tribal leader Zhang Lie.

The deeper the contact with the Sui people, the more vague the prejudice against the Sui people in her heart, and gradually concentrated the hatred accumulated for years on a few people.

Lu Xiao's question pointed out the true thoughts hidden in her heart.

Yu'er finally saw her true wishes, and she hoped to change the turbulent situation by killing Yang Guang and keep the Tuoba tribe away from the shadow of war.

Yu'er admires her brother-in-law Zhang Lie very much, he is an out-and-out hero.

But Haojie usually has great revenge, and Zhang Lie is no exception.

As the eldest brother of the Three Heroes of Wind and Dust, Zhang Lie hopes to make a career in the upcoming troubled times, and the Tuoba tribe is the capital of his start.

Yu'er would not complain about Zhang Lie's other intentions because of this, after all, what Zhang Lie has done for the Tuoba tribe over the years has been from the heart.

Yu'er can say that his intentions are not pure, but she can't blame Zhang Lie's actions.

As long as people are alive, they will have their own selfish desires, except for a very few saints who have no desires and no desires, no one can be an exception.

Yu'er couldn't change her brother-in-law's mind, and the best way to keep the Tuoba tribe away from the war was to get rid of the root cause of the war, that is, Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

Thinking about it now, Yu'er felt that she was too naΓ―ve at that time.

During the journey, Lu Xiao would give spiritual counseling to Yu'er from time to time, guiding her to think independently and see clearly the changes that Yang Guang's death might bring to the situation in the world.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she put aside her hatred and prejudice, and Yu'er finally thought it through.

Far from calming the troubled times, Yang Guang's death will further boost the confidence of civil forces due to the weakening of centralized power.

Once you enter the real troubled times, all kinds of conspirators and careerists will jump out one after another, trying to become the one who will finally win and become the one who will become a great treasure.

The collision of people's wills will be particularly obvious in troubled times, as an extension of their will, the armies controlled by various forces will also further push the troubled times to the white heat under mutual conquest.

Yu'er still remembers the day she finally figured it out, the relieved smile on Lu Xiao's face, and the warm touch when his big hand encouragedly stroked her hair.

Although she has no relationship with Lu Xiao and often quarrels with him and uses force, her subconscious Li has already regarded Lu Xiao as a strict brother and a teacher who guides her life path.

Since they met, Yu'er had never seen Lu Xiao's will waver, and she had specially asked him about this matter.

Lu Xiao explained with a smile at the time: "Yu'er, you remember, the most difficult thing to see in a person's life is always yourself. ”

"When we see someone else's behavior that doesn't conform to our own moral values, we instinctively feel repulsive, and people like you who are strong in action will even come forward to reprimand."

"But why do you think we become very unconvinced when we ourselves act contrary to the morals and values of others, and we are criticized by others?"

"Hmmm......"

Yu'er thought about it for a moment before answering: "Lack of empathy? ”

Lu Xiao nodded: "This is one thing, because people are different from each other, and the three views of the wicked and the good will naturally be completely different." ”

"On the other hand, because of the lack of unified morality and value guidance, what you call a thousand people and thousands of faces."

Yu'er asked puzzledly, "But, didn't you say that you want to liberate the free will of the people?" ”

"These are two different things."

Lu Xiao smiled and rubbed Yu'er's soft hair with her hand: "You asked me why I am strong-willed, it is because I have a faith that will never waver." ”

"My sect pursues the liberation of human free will, but that doesn't mean we let people blindly pursue disorderly freedom."

"Freedom and order, the two are exactly the opposite side of the pursuit of thought, what we need to do is to find a delicate balance between the two."

"Guiding people to have free will, so as to maximize human creativity."

"But at the same time, we must also use the concept of order to guide the world's morality in the direction of good, and reduce the chance of the bad people in your mouth."

"There are people whose antisocial personalities are born and cannot be changed, and once such people appear, we will judge them with strict laws, and we will truly show the people the price of evil, so that they know that the cost of evil is far less than the gain."

Yu'er still couldn't fully understand everything Lu Xiao taught, but her will was indeed moving closer to the direction that Lu Xiao had guided.

Unwavering will, this is Yu'er's view of Lu Xiao's solid mind, and this happens to be what Fairy Zhong, who has closed himself up, lacks.

Lu Xiao has always believed in a truth, fighting is not only a competition of personal strength, but also a head-on collision between the wills of both sides.

In terms of absolute strength alone, Lu Xiao, who had not yet fully mastered the rules of the world, was slightly inferior to Fairy Zhong, who had cultivated into an immortal through the reincarnation of an ancient artifact.

But in the process of fighting, Lu Xiao could feel the fragile heart that was deliberately frozen under the other party's seemingly tough attitude through the collision of swords.

"Poor fairy, your weak will cannot harness your mighty power."

"Bell!"

Once again, he swung the broad-bladed battle sword in Fairy Zhong's right hand, and the distance between the two sides was slightly widened.

Under Tuoba Yu'er's expectant gaze, Lu Xiao put the knife into the sheath, sank his center of gravity and posed for a knife slashing starter.

"Will and strength are indispensable."

"Fairy Zhong, please feel my will contained in the attack with your heart!"
