In the realm of Most Wanted Criminals, Lank rules his territory. Even so, he has been broken into twice and had to flee with his tail between his legs. Jinjin is part of a large Gang, and behind that Gang is the Dawn Empire. Yet, after the warrant was issued, Jinjin seemed to vanish completely. Others have backgrounds to support their escape and their own territories. Feng, on the other hand, is all alone and hasn't been taken away; it seems related to his junior sister.
Beiyue asked, "Is the Sister of the Wind really that impressive?"
"My master says his junior sister is the most outstanding disciple," Mi Xiaonan replied. "However, among the three disciples, who wins or loses is not just a contest of martial skills but also a battle of wits... Cui Ming, your earlier deduction wasn't completely baseless, right?"
Cui Ming nodded. "There is indeed some basis for it. Subjectively, I don't believe he is a Murderer. But objectively, if I were seeking revenge, I would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one escape."
Mi Xiaonan nodded. "Then it has nothing to do with me."
Cui Ming smiled. "Do you have a stance? Mi Xiaonan, this world isn't about right or wrong; what matters is who you are..."
Beiyue hurriedly interrupted, "Don't listen to Cui Ming's nonsense. There is a distinction between right and wrong. A normal person feels guilt after doing something wrong because they know it's wrong. Cui Ming's theory can easily lead you astray." Mi Xiaonan isn't Li Qing; she could be heavily influenced by Cui Ming's ideas.
Mi Xiaonan nodded. "I understand. But Cui Ming does have a point; if he didn't, Beiyue, you would have kicked him out long ago, right? It's precisely because you believe that Cui Ming's perspective doesn't harm you or our team and may even be quite helpful that you accept he can have his own views and stick to them."
Beiyue thought for a long while in silence.
Mi Xiaonan continued, "But Beiyue, you think having one Cui Ming is already troublesome enough; you don't want anyone colluding with him, right?"
"Yes, yes," Beiyue said, covering her mouth with a smile.
"Hey, hey. What does it mean to collude in wrongdoing?" Cui Ming complained, but his eyes were on Beiyue. When Beiyue, who rarely smiled, did so, it brought him immense joy, and he could feel the adrenaline coursing through him, making him feel light.
Mi Xiaonan said, "In the York Clan, there is a saying that we follow: at the beginning of humanity, people are inherently good. We believe that there are more good people than bad. What is a good person? A good person is someone who treats you well. They might be seen as a bad person by many, but if they genuinely care for you, then to you, they are a good person."
Beiyue shook her head. "But what about those who sacrifice their family for righteousness? How can that be justified?"
Cui Ming replied, "Everyone has different thoughts. From my perspective, I don't like those who purely sacrifice their family for the sake of righteousness. There was once a prodigal son who harmed his village, and his mother poisoned him to death. It sounds reasonable at first, but if you think about it, why did this prodigal son harm the village? It was due to his mother's failure in education. For instance, if a child beats his mother in public to buy something, I never think the mother deserves sympathy. Now let's reverse it: if a mother harms the village and the child is kind-hearted and poisons her instead?"
Mi Xiaonan pondered for a long time. "The idea of a mother poisoning her child is more acceptable because people believe that a mother has the right to deal with her own child. But when it comes to a child poisoning their mother, the nature completely changes... You're right, Cui Ming; what you said about a child poisoning their mother aligns closely with what I just mentioned. The idea of a mother poisoning her child has nothing to do with my argument."
Cui Ming continued, "For example, Boss, even if your father was whatever he was, would you kill your father for your mother?" Cui Ming was traveling with Beiyue because Li Qing and Cui Ming had their own secrets. Initially trying to deceive Beiyue by presenting just one possibility—what if Beiyue's father turned out to be the second possible villain? It was better to prepare for that.
This question left Beiyue stunned for quite some time as she sat there lost in thought. There is a phenomenon in society where some couples are not harmonious; perhaps it's due to the husband's faults. Some wives do not teach their children to respect their fathers and instead recount various mistakes and flaws of their husbands in front of their children, rallying them to sympathize with themselves while harboring animosity towards their fathers. Beiyue had heard of such things and thought that if the child's father wronged the wife, that was between them; the child's relationship with their father should remain unaffected. But now that this issue fell upon her own shoulders—what would she think? She didn't know. She truly didn't know how she would feel; perhaps only when faced with her own father would she understand what she would do.
Mi Xiaonan asked, "Cui Ming, if you were in that situation, what would you choose?"
Beiyue looked at Cui Ming.
Cui Ming shook his head. "I can't say; this is Beiyue's matter. Clearly, Beiyue has no idea what to do. If I say anything, it will influence her decision. No matter how Beiyue ultimately chooses, she will regret it later and blame me."
Beiyue looked at Cui Ming and said, "Cui Ming, you're still so young; it feels like your way of thinking is quite mature."
Cui Ming shook his head. "What kind of realm is that? It's just that Beiyue, your situation is too sensitive to discuss."
Beiyue nodded. "I understand. Mi Xiaonan, what about you?"
Mi Xiaonan immediately replied, "I won't say anything either."
Beiyue looked at the two of them, nodded, and fell silent as he slowly walked ahead. Suddenly, he turned around and shouted, "Speak."
Cui Ming, Mi Xiaonan, and the horse were all startled. The horse jumped in fright, throwing Cui Ming off balance. Fortunately, as a practitioner, Cui Ming managed to keep his feet in the stirrups and returned to the saddle to calm the horse. As for Mi Xiaonan… where did she go? She had fallen behind the horse and landed on the ground. Cui Ming reached out, and Mi Xiaonan climbed back onto the horse.
Beiyue caught up a few steps and walked alongside them coldly. "Speak, Cui Ming. You go first." Just because he wasn't losing his temper didn't mean he was easy to bully; this was all nonsense.
"I'll speak," Cui Ming said seriously. "If I were you, Beiyue, facing such a situation, I would first analyze why there was a sudden change; there must be a reason for it. For example, if a third party approached your father, that's fine—your dad can't be killed; no matter how bad he is, he's still your dad. But what if your mother wants revenge? What should you do? In that case, I would eliminate the third party physically and destroy my father's spirit. This way, it aligns with filial piety while also being clean and reassuring."
Beiyue pointed at Mi Xiaonan. "You."
Mi Xiaonan weakly asked, "Cui Ming, is Beiyue's attitude genuine?"
"No," Cui Ming replied. "She's putting on a brave front. She's pretending." He continued, "Actually, I wanted to say something, but I needed an excuse that wouldn't hold me accountable. She gave me that excuse, so I spoke up. If she regrets it later, she can't pin it on me."
"Oh, so that's how it is," Mi Xiaonan said with realization. "Beiyue, the deceased has passed away. If your father caused your mother's death, that's between him and her. If you kill your father to avenge your mother, then who will avenge your father? According to the theory of familial revenge, you would ultimately have to commit suicide. I thought about this before, but what Cui Ming said makes sense: what is the reason for this sudden change? There is always a reason; that reason is your enemy. Even if your father is considered your enemy, you must overlook him."
