Chapter 161 Human Nature is Inherently Evil

Wu Yue said impatiently, "I've told you many times, I'm not your master. What's

wrong with you? Why are you so stubborn!"

Qing'er: "When I asked you for help, I promised to be your slave for life. Since you helped me,

you are . My father told me to always keep my promise, and I dare not disobey his teachings."

Wu Yue said somewhat angrily, "But I didn't ask for it, so your so-called promise doesn't count."

Qing'er: "It's clearly written on my sign, 'Funeral Father and...'" " Being a slave is one thing. Whether you, young master, are willing to take me as

your slave and how you intend to treat me is your business. But ever since you buried my father, you have been my master in my heart , and that will never change." 　　Wu Yue: "But it was actually Sister Zhi Rong who helped you. What does that have to do with me?" 　　Qing'er: "It was you who promised me. I can see that Miss Yan is very unhappy." 　　Wu Yue, who was always confident in his excellent eloquence, was speechless at this moment, refuted by a little dark-skinned boy. He couldn't help but wonder a little beggar could be so profound about so-called righteousness. He couldn't help but ask: "What did your father do?" 　　Qing'er: "He was originally a scholar. During his time as a refugee, he could occasionally earn some money by selling calligraphy and paintings." 　　He felt relieved. No wonder Qing'er spoke so eloquently, and the sign for selling herself to bury her father was written quite well. Alas~ in such a dog-eat-dog world, studying is a curse! Look at this girl, so pedantic, raised by her father. If she encounters it's one thing, but if she falls for a hypocrite, she'll likely be sold into prostitution and end up helping the traffickers count their money! 　　He looked at her with pity, this poor little thing who had been so badly harmed by her father. He was also a scholar, having read many classic texts, yet his eldest sister, who had accompanied him through the longest years of his life, believed that "whoever walks sideways is the boss"; his wife and sister, Beifeng, who had influenced him the most, always settled things with their fists. 　　He often tried to persuade them with the words of sages to turn to good, to lay down their weapons and become Buddhas, but no one listened . Instead, they mocked him as a pedantic old man. Perhaps in their eyes, this so-called scholar, well-read in Confucian classics , was just a pretty face with a pretty face? 　　Under their influence, he had long harbored serious doubts about the so-called teachings of sages. If "human nature is inherently good," why are so-called good citizens like Qing'er and her father always poorly clothed and starving, while those considered evil by sages, like his wife and elder sister, live high and mighty lives without worry? Moreover, they are merely striving for their own life goals, sometimes using unscrupulous means—are they truly evil? 　　Who doesn't have ideals? It's just that few are willing to act on them, or lack the ability. It's said that even Confucius, the sage and ancestor, led a life of constant wandering—isn't that a great irony? Liu Xiahui, who could restrain his desires, was a virtuous gentleman, but desire is an innate instinct of humans and animals. As long as basic behavioral principles are followed, why the excessive restraint? 　　Since it's said that "good deeds bring good rewards, and evil deeds bring evil consequences; if not today, then the time hasn't come," what I see is that the Madam and the eldest sister, those wicked people, are still alive and well, while Qing'er's father is dead without a burial place. When will his good fortune come? Will he only receive it in heaven? Nonsense! 　　Fine, even if the entire Central Plains, including the emperor, became the virtuous people described in the sages' books, wouldn't the so-called barbarian lands be able to wantonly ravage the Central Plains? Everyone needs to eat and wear clothes; if they want to take everything that belongs to others , where will all the respect, humility, and deference come from? In recent years, the Millennium Emperor has been clamoring to spread these sages' words to the borderlands to educate those barbarians, but he has been rejected by the barbarians as if they were a flood or a beast. Alas, he has already harmed many people in the Central Plains ; let's not spread them to mislead the youth! 　　Take that night's battle with the wolf pack, for example. The hungry wolves certainly wanted to eat him, but when he was starving, didn't he also devour the wolves alive? Because he needs to survive, what does that have to do with whether he's kind or not? 　　Finally, the Confucian classics' admonitions of "the ruler should be a ruler, the minister a minister, the son a son, the father a father..." seem correct , but what kind of person is born a ruler, and what kind should be born lowly? Sima Zhong of the late Western Jin Dynasty was a fool; was he born to be emperor simply because he was the emperor's son? His beloved daughter became a beggar shortly after birth; no matter how intelligent she was, was she destined to be a beggar for life? 　　In his view, it was the foolish Emperor Sima Zhong who should have been a beggar. The War of the Eight Princes and the Five Barbarian Invasions—the darkest chapter in Chinese history— are a great irony and the greatest retribution for this so-called sage's words! 　　When Harina didn't return, he grew anxious and patiently explained his reasoning to her, trying to correct her behavior. He couldn't take care of her forever and hoped she would be more shrewd to avoid being taken advantage of later. However, she didn't seem to listen much and argued with him, offering more reasoning than he did, often leaving him speechless. After all, his words were just based on experience and not on any wise sayings. 　　He was used to being lectured, but now he was stuck with this clingy girl, unable to shake her off. He had originally hoped to teach her a lesson and experience what it was like to be a teacher, but instead, she constantly contradicted him and he could never win an argument with her. He was getting frustrated and blurted out, "If your old man is always right, why did you die so violently in the street, and even your body had to be buried?" 　　Qing'er stiffened her neck, "Don't insult my father!" Her eyes reddened, on the verge of tears, her face showing extreme anger , and her cold gaze sent chills down his spine! 　　He felt like he had stirred up a hornet's nest, and quickly said apologetically, "Don't cry, don't cry! I said something in a moment of impulse, can you forgive me for making it up?" 　　Qing'er turned her head away and ignored him for a long time. 　　He felt very frustrated, realizing he had been completely fooled. This girl was clinging to him, claiming to treat him as her master but not obeying him, it seemed like she just saw him as a long-term meal ticket! I think she's stupid; maybe in her eyes, I 'm the complete fool! 　　His resentment continued to fester, and he couldn't be bothered with her anymore. 　　After a long silence, her emotions gradually calmed down. Seeing his puffed-up cheeks and angry expression, a thought struck her, and she said blankly, "Young Master, you look just like my father..." 　　Wu Yue said irritably, "My child is already in his mother's womb; I have no intention of taking in a silly adopted daughter like you!" 　　Qing'er choked, thinking that he was ultimately her master and she couldn't be too willful, so she decided to give in and asked with a flattering expression:

"Young master is not a bad person, so why did they treat you as a wanted criminal and chase you all the way to the border?"

Wu Yue looked at her simple-minded appearance. If he explained to her that those people captured him to threaten the Rakshasa Queen,

she wouldn't be able to understand, so he simply raised his hand and said, "They want to cut off my head,

so of course I have to run away! It's the same if they capture you. If you see them, you have to stay far away, understand?"

She didn't quite understand, but she still nodded.

Seeing her seemingly confused expression, Wuyue thought it best to take this opportunity to correct her misconceptions and help

her understand the inherent evil in human nature, so she wouldn't be deceived by so-called good people in the future. He then asked,

"In your opinion, who are the bad people? And who are the good people?"

Qing'er thought for a moment and said, "Those men in black are the bad people, causing you such a terrible situation!"

Wuyue explained, "They wanted to capture me just to follow orders and make a living. People die for money, birds

die for food; there's no such thing as good or bad people. Anything else?"

Qing'er's face showed fear as she said, "Yes, for example,

those wealthy families who set vicious dogs on us when we were begging on the streets with my father. Also, after my father passed away, I knelt on the street for two days

and two nights holding that sign, and no one was willing to help me—they were all bad people too!"

Wuyue frowned and asked, "Have you ever been bitten by a vicious dog?"

"How could I not have any? Look! I have two more on my body. My father was bitten much

worse !" she said, rolling up her sleeves and trouser legs.

Wu Yue looked closely and saw two dog bite scars on her arms and three on her legs. They looked quite

old and the bites were severe. Wu Yue felt a pang of heartache. She was only eight or nine years old now.

How old was she a few years ago? If they didn't want to give, they shouldn't have. Why bully these poor people like this? How could they be

so cruel!

He couldn't help but say bitterly, "These rich and heartless bastards who bully the weak and fear the strong are truly hateful, and are indeed

outright bad people! But you must remember, human nature is inherently evil, and there are no truly good people in this world.

You must always be wary of everyone, understand?"

Qing'er looked at him earnestly and said, "How could that be? Young master, don't underestimate me just because I'm young. I've traveled the world with my father,

trying to make a living. What kind of people haven't I seen? So I'm always very good at judging people. That day, kneeling in the street, I

could tell at a glance that you must be a compassionate and very kind young lady. So when you passed

by , I reached out and grabbed you, but I didn't expect that even with my sharp eyes, I still missed you." " I didn't realize you were

a young master back then..."

Wu Yue shook her head, helplessly saying, "I knew there were so many people on the street, why did you insist on clinging to me? Now

you should understand, right? Everyone wears a mask, and what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth

. What's the difference between a good person and a bad person? Take me for example, I also scheme against others. I might be a good person to you,

but to some people I might be a bad person, like to the people of the Embroidered Robe Pavilion and the Flying Eagle Gate, because if I had

the ability, I would definitely kill their leader Zheng Tianen and Yin Tianxia!"

She spoke through gritted teeth, for the hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable, this is the unchanging code of conduct for the people of the Central Plains!

Qing'er continued, "I never judge good people by sight, but by

feeling ... That day in the valley, you risked being eaten by wolves to protect me, just like my father.

You're someone I can trust. If it weren't for Sister Harina's rescue, you would have died! If someone like you

isn't a good person, then there's no good person in this world!"

After all that, she still couldn't accept the idea that human nature is inherently evil. And it

all had to do with me? Wu Yue shook his head helplessly. It seemed impossible to persuade this little girl!

He decided to give up his futile efforts and focus his attention on Harina, occasionally looking westward,

hoping her agile figure riding a horse would miraculously appear before 　　　him . However, after a sleepless night,

the miracle never happened...
