Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Zhao Hua Niang didn't mind Zhu Wuyao's attitude. She smiled with her head down, a few strands of hair hanging down, her expression seemingly filled with sorrow.

Zhu Wuyao looked around but didn't see anyone else looking in their direction.

It's likely that Zhaohua Niang didn't want to attract attention, so that only she could see his true face now, in order to avoid being disturbed during their conversation.

"She's been a very opinionated child since she was little."

Zhu Wuyao agrees with this point.

Zhao Hua Niang continued, her voice tinged with a hint of helplessness:

"Our Moon Shadow Pavilion has been passed down for generations, all of which have been based on self-interest at the expense of the Dao, but she is the only exception."

"When I grew up, I insisted on studying Buddhism, saying that those bald monks could save all living beings and save many people, which is a great good."

When Zhao Hua Niang said these things, the sarcasm in her eyes was undisguised.

Zhu Wuyao knew about the Daoist practices of the Moon Shadow Pavilion, so it couldn't be said that he was harming the Dao for personal gain or violating public morals. However, if people wanted to claim innocence, they would inevitably criticize it.

Moon Shadow Pavilion has a lot of unfounded rumors, but upon closer examination, it seems that none of them have committed any real wrongdoing.

However, its opposition to Buddhism is reasonable.

These two clearly don't get along.

Zhaohua Niang continued her narration:

"We at Moonshadow Pavilion don't force others. We value mutual consent even with outsiders, so why should we be so demanding of our own family?"

As Zhao Hua Niang recounted her story, Zhu Wuyao came to understand Hua Yingting's past.

She actually concealed her background, joined the Buddhist sect, and became an ascetic monk.

They said they wanted to suffer and bear hardships for the world.

But here's the absurdity—Hua Yingting has never seen the suffering in this world lessen in the slightest.

Every time she deliberately invites suffering, the world suffers a little more.

So-called ascetic practices never truly involve oneself in the cause and effect of others; they merely create unnecessary complications.

It cannot escape the suffering of the world; it only makes itself suffer and cultivates a spirit of hard work and resentment, but it will never share the worries of the world.

Therefore, Huaying Film Studio reached the following conclusion—

Buddhism cannot save the world.

When she returned to Moon Shadow Pavilion, Zhao Hua Niang was quite pleased, thinking that she had turned over a new leaf.

Hua Yingting then said: I want to study medicine!

Hua Yingting, being born with a wood-elemental root, possessed extraordinary talent in medicine, and within just a few years, she had already achieved some success.

At that time, her cultivation level was not high, so she opened a clinic and provided free medical consultations and medicine.

After all the gold and silver had been spent, Hua Yingting began exchanging spirit stones for money, and thus, the news that she was a cultivator spread.

With medicinal herbs scarce, people flocked to the clinic seeking treatment.

Hua Yingting didn't know how to explain it clearly. She was just a cultivator with a very low cultivation level, and she couldn't heal everyone with a single immortal technique.

Thus, the label of hypocrisy was attached to him.

She was resilient and did not waver because of this. She could even understand that those people were just afraid of death and were just fearful, so they couldn't wait to seize every chance of survival.

It's just that I gave myself hope, but was powerless to act on it, and suffered a backlash.

Hua Ying packed her bags, planning to move to another town and open a new clinic.

She was cold and hungry when she ran into the person who had given her the medicine before.

At this point, Zhaohua Niang paused, and Zhu Wuyao couldn't help but ask:

"and then?"

Why don't you take a guess?

Zhu Wuyao is a writer of storybooks. According to the usual formula, the person who received the medicine must have done something to make Hua Yingting feel heartbroken.

Then Huayingting turned evil.

But now it seems that she is doing well. Although she is occasionally sarcastic, she is positive and optimistic most of the time.

Upon hearing this speculation, Zhao Hua Niang nodded slightly in agreement and said:

"When she returned to Moonshadow Pavilion and spoke of this, I also felt that she must have encountered something sad."

actually not.

The family recognized her and warmly invited Hua Yingting to come in as a guest.

Hua Yingting looked at the chicken, duck, fish and meat on the table, and then at the furnishings in the room. Although they were not a wealthy family, they certainly did not have to worry about making a living.

She thought of the pitiful state of this family when they begged for medicine, recalled those who were truly ragged, emaciated, and in need of help, saw the food on the table, and heard the gratitude around her...

Huaying was unusually silent.

Should this family be judged as evil? They pretended to be pitiful, which is tantamount to taking advantage of and robbing opportunities from those who are truly poor.

However, if the medicine were purchased at the normal price, it would be a heavy burden for this family, and... despite his excellent medical skills, he always prioritized caring for the poor.

Now that he is in trouble and being ridiculed for being hypocritical, this family ignores the rumors and is willing to give him a meal as a farewell gift.

Does she want everyone to become a saint who doesn't take advantage of any opportunity?

“I told her that the way of man is to take from those who have less and give to those who have more.”

Hua Yingting believes that the world is vast, and if everyone only takes what they deserve, then everyone can live a good life.

But in many people's eyes, the world is very small.

Simply surviving and living a peaceful and healthy life is not enough; if you want to be happy, you need two houses.

If you want to be successful, you need to have ten houses.

Therefore, Hua Yingting believed that studying medicine could not save the world.

She knew the world was untrustworthy; she needed to become stronger, to fight for profit, and to achieve her goals through other means.

Zhu Wuyao listened, somewhat bewildered.

She seemed to have seen a similar script, but the story didn't unfold this way.

Do you think she did the right thing?

Zhu Wuyao hesitated for a moment, then said:

"It's not advisable to make a hasty judgment; we need to observe further."

There are countless stories of dragon slayers becoming dragons themselves, and idealists who go astray often cause even greater harm.

Overall, listening to this story, it's clear that Hua Yingting hasn't actually seen much darkness in the world, nor has she ever felt heartbroken or disappointed. She simply calmly adjusts her approach to adapt to the realities of the world based on feedback from others.

Moreover, she had only been in Mosang for two years.

"So I'd like to ask, in your eyes, what kind of person is she now?"

Zhu Wuyao reminisced for a while.

Hua Yingting looked almost unrecognizable from the character in the story.

She takes good care of herself, has a good relationship with her fellow disciples, never gives up what is rightfully hers, and has managed to maintain her reputation without suffering any loss of benefits.

Their approach to things isn't bound by morality; they're very humble...

"A normal person?" Zhu Wuyao had just finished saying that when a more appropriate description flashed through his mind, and he added:

"With clear thinking, one acts without restraint."

"Hmm? That sounds pretty good, quite in line with the style of my Moonshadow Pavilion." Zhao Hua Niang smiled, winked at Zhu Wuyao, and said:

"Now that you know about her past, you'll have to help me look after her in the future."

After saying this, she handed over a token and said:

"This item can not only activate the teleportation array, but if it is destroyed, another token in the Moon Shadow Pavilion will also be destroyed. Please make good use of it."

Upon hearing the words "teleportation array," Zhu Wuyao's eyes lit up.

This item may have a surprising use!

Zhu Wuyao readily accepted the token, not neglecting the word "make good use of it." She decided that after visiting Tuozhige, she would go back and tell Hua Yingting to see if she could keep it.
