What Is Fair?
(I made some changes to the previous one where I added karma. I didn't consider this properly. The comments section was quite good, and I added a lot of merit points.) As for how karma and merit were calculated, it would be explained later!）
"Immortal Elder, please show mercy. Miss Jiang doesn't deserve to die.”
At this moment, Uncle Chen walked up again and said.
At the same time, the soldiers at the side all pulled out their guns and aimed at Lin Xuan.
They were all brought here by Jiang Wanqiu, so their mission was naturally to protect Jiang Wanqiu.
No matter what kind of immortal cultivator Lin Xuan was, or what kind of demon or ghost he was, or how capable he was, they had to do their best to protect Jiang Wanqiu, even if it meant hitting a rock with an egg or an ant trying to shake a tree!
When Jiang Wanqiu saw this scene, she quickly shouted,"Put down your guns, put down your guns!"
She knew very well that it was impossible for them to be Lin Xuan's match.
If there was a conflict, it would only be a wasted sacrifice, and more innocent people would die.
After listening to Jiang Wanqiu's words, the soldiers hesitated for a moment before slowly withdrawing their guns.
"You want to kill me?"
Jiang Wanqiu looked up at Lin Xuan and asked.
He would be lying if he said he wasn't afraid.
Her body was still trembling, but she had no ability to resist in her current situation.
"Please have mercy, Immortal Elder," Uncle Chen said from the side. Miss Jiang is not a bad person. She just took a wrong path for a moment. Please give her a chance.”
Lin Xuan glanced at Uncle Chen and said,""Shut up, I have my own decision."
This old man was indeed a good person. Unfortunately, he was too talkative and noisy. He was too annoying.
Uncle Chen could only shut his mouth after hearing that.
"Do you know why I didn't kill you immediately?”
Lin Xuan stared at Jiang Wanqiu and said.
"I…I don't know." Jiang Wanqiu replied.
Lin Xuan said," Because firstly, you did it out of filial piety. Secondly, you were hesitant before and even asked Duan Chenghua if he had any other methods. This shows that you are not an evil person." Thirdly, you're quite responsible. You didn't run away just now when you wanted to put out the fire. Based on these three points, I didn't kill you.”
"Are you willing to let me go?" Jiang Wanqiu said in surprise.
"I didn't say that I would let you off.”"Although you're not considered a great villain, you've indeed done something wrong. Although you are doing this out of filial piety, do you think it's right to hurt others?”
"I know. It's my fault." Jiang Wanqiu nodded.
" You wanted to take the Essence Qi from your grandfather," Lin Xuan said with a smile." Sure, I'll save your grandfather."”
"What? Really?"
Jiang Wanqiu thought she had heard wrong and could not believe it.
Lin Xuan said," We'll give him a taste of his own medicine. Ordinary people also have essence, which is often called essence." If a person lost their essence, they would die. If I take your essence to save your grandfather, your grandfather will be able to live for a few more years. What do you think? A life for a life. It's very fair. I've already shown mercy. In this way, at least one person could survive.”
After hearing this, Jiang Wanqiu was stunned.
"Mr. Lin, why are you doing this? Although Miss Jiang was in the wrong, it shouldn't be like this. You clearly have the ability to save people. With your strength, it should be easy for you to save her grandfather, right?”
At this moment, Yang Mi stood up and said.
Lin Xuan swept a cold glance over and said,""Your words are completely wrong. First, if I wasn't strong enough and was really just an ordinary ghost spirit, and my essence was taken away by them, then my outcome would be even worse. I'm fine now, but it doesn't mean that her mistake isn't serious. I'm already being kind by not killing her. Second, I do have the ability to save people, but that doesn't mean I should save them. What, this moral kidnapping?”
Yang Mi felt a little uncomfortable after being swept by Lin Xuan's cold gaze, but she still braced herself and said,""I know, but the law also states that there is murder and attempted murder. Could it be that the sentence for attempted murder was the same as killing someone? Also, this wasn't a moral kidnapping. Didn't they say that saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda? Moreover, with your strength, it should be as easy as lifting a finger.”
After hearing Yang Mi's words, Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh.""You're quite eloquent, but have you ever thought that the law might not be right sometimes? Besides, I'm an outsider. Isn't it ridiculous for you to talk to me about the law? Besides, if I save her grandfather, it would be unfair to the others. If everyone comes to me for help in the future, do I have to save everyone?”
"I…"
Yang Mi fell silent.
After thinking about it, she felt that it was indeed not easy to refute.
If everyone came to Lin Xuan for help, would everyone have to save him?
If he chose to save them, how unfair would it be to those who didn't save them?
Uncle Chen, who had not spoken for a long time, sighed."Immortal Elder is right. Immortal cultivators are outsiders and don't want to care about the mortal world. Everyone had their own destiny.”
"The heavens and earth are heartless and treat all living things as straw dogs. The sage is not benevolent and treats the common people as straw dogs. Many people thought that this meant that the heavens were not merciful and only treated all living things as lifeless tributes. In fact, this was not the case. What this meant was that heaven and earth would not act on their emotions and treat all things equally. Saints would not act on their emotions and treat the common people equally. He didn't treat anyone particularly well, nor did he treat anyone particularly badly. Everything would develop naturally.”
"Immortal elders are immortal cultivators and have long transcended the mortal world. They are different from mortals and should do things this way. Little old man, I've learned my lesson."
After saying that, Uncle Chen bowed deeply to Lin Xuan.
"Mister Lin, take my essence!”
Jiang Wanqiu said in a trembling voice as two streams of tears flowed down her face.

(I thought about this chapter for a long time before writing it like this. Don't scold me anymore. The main character is really not a saint. You'll understand if you continue watching. Cultivators had their own set of rules. It was not that he could slaughter wantonly just because he was awesome. He was not a true immortal cultivator. He was called a demon. In that case, how was he any different from the villains? That would be a double standard! The cultivation I want to write about is to jump out of the box, not be swayed by emotions, and be fair to people and things. Of course, if you have to use those Xianxia novels that fight to the death to describe me, there's nothing to talk about because the background setting is completely different!）
