Chapter 102 The Bystander Sees the Best
“Yes, aren’t other people’s lives also lives? If you ask me, Li Lianhua’s method is quite good. If he proves that the method works, it will be a merit. If it doesn’t work, then he is paying for the lives of those he killed.”
Fang Duobing also chimed in, agreeing with Wu You's point of view.
Guan Hemeng disagreed: "After all, he didn't even know who he was at that time. And as a doctor, how can you use patients as test subjects to treat and save lives?"
"Doctors heal the sick and save lives. If Di Feisheng, the leader of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, were to collapse in front of you, would you save him or not?"
Wu You: This person's brain can't seem to process things for so long.
"Of course, we can't save him. Di Feisheng is utterly wicked, and his disciples have done many things that harm the martial arts world. How can we lend him a helping hand?"
Guan Hemeng waved his hand repeatedly, saying there was no need to even think about that question.
"How is the sound of that flute different from his?"
"One is a patient, and the other is a normal person."
Fang Duobing guessed.
"One is a murderer with a clear purpose, the other is a murderer without a clear intention."
Guan Hemeng still holds the same view as before.
“You’re all right, but in my opinion, they’re both murderers. One killed more people than the other, and their crimes are unforgivable. However, considering that he was indeed not fully conscious, we can give him a chance to redeem himself.”
Guan Hemeng was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Perhaps what you said makes some sense."
His words carried a hint of contemplation and uncertainty, yet he seemed not entirely convinced. His statement was like a door, slightly ajar, leaving one with more curiosity and speculation about his true thoughts.
"I have a question for you."
Wu You recalled that the internet was one such explanation.
"What's the problem? Tell me."
"If you saw two people fighting one person, what would you think?"
Why are these two people bullying others?
"This person is incredibly skilled; he actually fought two people to a standstill."
Fang Duobing's ideas were always unconventional.
"What if ten people are fighting one person?"
"What about the hundred people?"
That's bullying.
"It's unfair for so many people to beat one person."
"What if ten thousand people were fighting one person?"
......
Neither Guan Hemeng nor Fang Duobing answered; they couldn't quite picture the scene.
At this moment, Li Lianhua and Su Xiaoyong walked in from outside.
"What are you all talking about? Why do you all have that expression?"
Su Xiaoyong was very curious. What had happened?
"If one person bullies another, it's bullying. If a hundred people bully one person, it's still bullying. But what about if ten thousand people bully one person?"
Fang Duobing repeated Wu You's words.
Upon hearing this, Li Lianhua and Su Xiaoyong revealed the same expressions as Guan Hemeng and Fang Duobing.
"It's bullying, isn't it?"
Su Xiaoyong tentatively spoke.
The people at the table were all looking at Wu You, wondering if she had any other answers.
"When ten thousand people bully one person, or a hundred thousand people bully one person, that's not called bullying, that's called justice."
Wu You's words stunned the group, and upon reflection, they indeed made a lot of sense.

Before that, Li Lianhua led Su Xiaoyong to a secluded place with few people.
Su Xiaoyong took out a few pieces of paper from her bag and handed them to Li Lianhua.
"This is my grandfather's translation of Nan Yinwen's meaning."
Li Lianhua took it and looked at it.
"...Ignite your body... This sounds like a sacrificial incantation. Is there a source for it?"
“My grandfather also thinks so. It’s a pity that there are so few historical records about the Southern Yin, and he hasn’t figured out the source of these things yet.”
“However, my grandfather has found the mark you drew. It’s called Suiyan, and he says it’s a mark of an evil god in Nanyin. This mark represents revenge and devouring. My grandfather said it matches the verses in the sacrificial text, and he’s investigating in that direction.”
Revenge, devouring—what exactly is Jiao Liqiao trying to do? And how does all of this relate to Shan Gudao?
"Brother Li, that's all the information my grandfather found. I don't know if it can help you."
"I am already very grateful. I will definitely visit your grandfather to express my gratitude when I have the chance."
"It's alright, Brother Li. I'm actually more curious about your relationship with Wu You."
Su Xiaoyong stared at Li Lianhua with bright, gossipy eyes, her gossip-loving soul burning brightly.
"Me and Youyou? What's our relationship?"
"Don't try to fool me. Back at Yuanbao Manor, you and Wu You said you were engaged, but today I see you two don't look like that at all."
"I was thinking that after attending Sister Qiao's wedding, I'd be able to drink your wedding wine soon too!"
I've only ever heard of people watching online and asking for updates, never of people pressuring each other to get married online.
"She and I are not in a hurry, we have plenty of time."
“I think Wu You is a very good person. If you don’t make your move soon, what if someone else succeeds? Don’t tell me you don’t like each other. I’ve only seen both of you, but I can tell you like each other.”
"I know how she feels. As long as the two of them can be together, that's good enough."
"What's so good about it?" Su Xiaoyong said, somewhat exasperated.
"The two people accompany each other, but because of their different identities, the things they can do are different."
"They're all pretty much the same."
"Why can't I understand you? Do you want to hold Wu You's hand all the time? Do you want to hug her all the time? I guess not. It's only possible when there's a specific opportunity, like right now."
Li Lianhua: Are you a roundworm in my stomach? How do you know so much?
Su Xiaoyong: This isn't something you can just guess easily.
"Think about it, if you get married, wouldn't you be able to hold hands and hug whenever you want, and no one else could say a word?"
Su Xiaoyong's voice seemed to possess a certain magic, making Li Lianhua keep thinking about that scene in her mind; it was indeed very beautiful.
Li Lianhua glanced at Su Xiaoyong: "You seem to know a lot about other people's problems, but why can't you solve your own?"
"Me? What about me?"
This isn't about Li Lianhua and Wu You, how did it get dragged into my own affairs?
"You said that the reason Guan Hemeng suddenly discussed medical techniques with me was because she didn't want us to come out together, and she didn't want us to get so close."
"Why? I feel like my relationship with you is similar to his."
"That's exactly why it won't work. It's because he likes you and doesn't want you to get too close to other people."
"You, you what, he..."
Su Xiaoyong blushed slightly, somewhat incredulous.
Li Lianhua nodded in agreement.
What kind of ridiculous setting is this? Does it really require others to see it clearly? The bystanders seem to have an excessively clear view. Can bystanders even understand all the emotions within?
Muman Villa, the day before Qiao Wanmian and Xiao Zijin's wedding.
"Sister A-Mian, we're here."
"Sister Qiao".
Everyone arrived at Muwan Manor. Li Lianhua, Fang Duobing, Guan Hemeng, and Nanfeng rested in the front yard, while Wu You and Su Xiaoyong came to Qiao Wanmian's place.
"Youyou, Xiaoyong, why did you two come together?"
Qiao Wanmian was still dressed the same as before, only slightly more formally.
"On Sister Qiao's joyous occasion, we naturally wanted to come and share in the happiness. We happened to run into Wu You, so we came together."
"Sister Qiao, tomorrow is a joyous occasion, are you happy?"
"Of course I am very happy."
"Sister A-Mian, it's rare to find someone you know and cherish. This is a wedding candy that Li Lianhua asked me to pass on as a gift. It's just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it, Sister A-Mian."
"Youyou, please thank Mr. Li for me. Thank you so much."
Qiao Wanmian reached out and took the wedding candy from Wu You's hand.
"What's wrong with these wedding candies...?"
"What's wrong with the wedding candy? Although it's not expensive, it was prepared with care by Li Lianhua."
"Oh, nothing much, it just feels nice to send wedding candy."
Qiao Wanmian shook off the complicated thoughts in her mind.
"Youyou, Xiaoyong, you two sit down, let's have a chat."
"Okay, have a seat."
"Sister Amin, let me tell you, I also brought you a wedding gift, but it's not appropriate to take it out now."
"What did you bring that you can't even show me?"
Qiao Wanmian and Su Xiaoyong were somewhat curious.
"I brought you a few boxes of fireworks. They're at the gatehouse now. I'll have someone bring them over tonight, and I'll set them off for you."
Wu You wanted to find a nice wedding gift for Qiao Wanmian in the old house, but she couldn't find anything suitable.
Finally, I saw a few boxes of fireworks in the corner cave. I don't know how long they'd been there, but the expiration date looked like they were about to expire. I took this opportunity to set them off quickly, otherwise too many fireworks would be missed.
Thinking that it wasn't enough to make a wedding gift, Wu You asked Nanfeng to buy some more.
"fireworks?"
"Yes, the fireworks are beautiful. They explode in the sky in an instant, it's so pretty."
"I know it's good, but shouldn't it be shown tomorrow night? Why tonight?"
Of course, we only have time to watch it today. Who would be in the mood to watch fireworks if things are going to happen tomorrow?
"These fireworks are a celebration of what's going to happen tomorrow. Tomorrow is the wedding ceremony during the day, and by evening, some guests will have already left. Today, while everyone is still here, they can all see it."
It's just fooling people, easy peasy.
"That makes sense," Qiao Wanmian and Su Xiaoyong nodded, agreeing that there was some truth to it.
"Sister A-Mian, although tomorrow is the wedding day, don't you look a little too plain today?"
Su Xiaoyong looked at Qiao Wanmian's outfit with some confusion.
"I...I'm used to dressing like this," Qiao Wanmian stammered.
"Sister A-Mian, I'm very curious. Didn't you and Master Xiao not confirm your relationship before? Why are you suddenly getting married?"
Wu You changed the subject.
"Yes, Sister Qiao, although Master Xiao has been with you for ten years, isn't this sudden marriage a bit too fast?"
"I......"
"Have you not forgotten Li Xiangyi? He's been gone for ten years."
Su Xiaoyong asked cautiously.
"..."
“How can someone as outstanding as Li Xiangyi be forgotten so easily? Even I can’t forget him, especially that red silk sword dance.” Wu You said, putting on his own words.
"You saw it with your own eyes?"
"No, I just heard about it."
"Huh~"
"Then why did Sister Qiao agree to Master Xiao's marriage proposal?"
"If someone treats you very well, always by your side, showing concern and keeping you company, wouldn't you feel touched after a while?"
While being moved doesn't necessarily mean love, there's definitely a bit of liking involved.
"Since you've already agreed, you shouldn't keep thinking about the future. You need to learn to let go and live your life well. Otherwise, you'll end up feeling bad for yourself and others."
Who would have thought that Su Xiaoyong was actually a hidden dating expert? That's absolutely right.
"From now on, we can't forget everything that happened before, and naturally, we can't forget everyone who came before us. If we can't forget someone or something, we should keep it in our hearts."
Imagine this: when you're feeling romantic, you meet someone outstanding and amazing who captures your entire attention.
Later, they were separated due to various reasons and could not be together again. Wasn't that the white moonlight and cinnabar mole of their entire youth, an existence that could never be forgotten?
Then, you meet someone who treats you well, stays by your side, and loves you. Do you want to give up, or hold on? Holding on doesn't mean you have to erase the memory of that special person from your heart.
"Why are you two arguing? Stop talking, it's giving me a headache."
Qiao Wanmian quickly poured two glasses of water for the two of them to moisten their throats.
These two people are clearly arguing about their own business, so why are they fighting so fiercely over it?
"Sister A-Man, you misunderstood. We didn't argue. It was just a spark from the clash of ideas. I'm glad you weren't hurt."
Wu You picked up the teapot and poured a cup of water for Qiao Wanmian.
"Yes, yes, Sister Qiao, we're very close."
"By the way, Sister A-Mian, our group, especially Fang Duobing, is very curious about the scenery of the Sigumen site chosen by Li Xiangyi. Could you please allow us to wander around the villa? Don't worry, we will be fine and won't damage anything."
"Go ahead, there will be many people at the banquet, be careful."
Qiao Wanmian nodded in agreement.
"Okay, thank you, Sister A-Mian. Su Xiaoyong, would you like to come with me?"
Su Xiaoyong waved her hand.
"I won't go. It's too noisy outside. I'll stay here with Sister Qiao for a while longer."
"Okay, I'll be going now. Goodbye, Sister A-Mian. I'll come back to watch the fireworks with you when night falls."
"Okay, Youyou, slow down."
"Know it."
Wu You replied and then left.

Jiao Liqiao: Wait, why wasn't I invited to such a lively event? I'm here to give a congratulatory gift too, why are you treating me differently?
The guests exclaimed: "You demonic witch, how dare you cause trouble on such an important occasion! It seems you have no respect for the dignity of us martial arts practitioners!"
Jiao Liqiao: Who do you think you are? I don't even care about Li Xiangyi, you're nothing.
The guests were furious.
