Chapter 219 I am also such a person



Chapter 219 I am also such a person

"Luo Qing and his group returned to the immortal ship Luofu from the space station. The most important thing at the moment is to deal with the possible crisis in Luofu in the future. After Fu Xuan returned to Taibusi, he activated the Qiongguan Formation after seeing Qingque's savior-like eyes.

However, the information we have now is too little, and the Qiongguan Formation cannot calculate anything useful. All we can calculate is that everything will be safe and sound.

Fu Xuan also took this opportunity to have his fortune told to see if he was suitable to be a general in the near future. He immediately calculated an auspicious day for himself.

Fu Xuan nodded in satisfaction and told Jing Yuan the auspicious date he had calculated. After reading it, Jing Yuan nodded.

"Now, Fu Qing has grown up quite well. Even without Rang Qing, I can rest assured and step down... But..."

"What do you mean? General, you should have no excuse to fool me this time, right?" Just like countless times before, Jing Yuan had to refuse. If Jing Yuan really couldn't think of any good reason this time, Fu Xuan would report it to the alliance and expose Jing Yuan's greed for power.

"Please be patient, Mr. Fu, you're a little anxious. I don't mean to refuse. After all, the Marshal agreed to your appointment as General a few years ago. A duck in the mouth can't run away... And you are a special case. The Marshal will personally come to Luofu to confer you the title of Heavenly General."

However, Jing Yuan did not say that the Marshal came to Luofu in person this time to meet Lu Qing.

"In that case, what is the General doing..."

"During your time away commanding troops, didn't you frequently write reports about psychological issues? This is a serious matter, and we can't afford to take it lightly. For the next few days, you should stay at the Danding Division and receive proper psychological counseling... If your problems are more serious, we'll need to hire a world-renowned psychologist to provide you with thorough psychological counseling."

Jing Yuan said earnestly that as a celestial general one must be positive and optimistic. If one has psychological problems, it will be difficult to deal with.

There won't be any problems in the short term, but as long as they get close to the demonic body, problems will become apparent. Although Fu Qing is young now, his future lifespan may be far more than just a thousand years... If problems really arise, it will be a long time in the future.

However, it is important to take precautions before they happen.

"General... it's not that serious. I just don't feel any real connection to the loss of life. However, the enemy is a fertile evil creature, and the commander's soldiers are also Buli people. Under such circumstances, I feel that my indifference to life is understandable..."

Looking at Jing Yuan's very serious and cautious expression, Fu Xuan frowned slightly. Is it that serious?

"Mr. Fu, it seems your problem is more serious than I thought. Regarding your views on life, perhaps you could ask Rangqing. As the messenger of the God of Fertility, I believe he must have a different perspective on life."

Fu Xuan nodded and planned to go find Lu Qing to ask first.

……

"An opinion on life? I don't have any opinion... Life is life. Living is life."

"Renqing, don't be perfunctory with me."

"There are many insights into life, Xuan, which one do you want to hear?"

"It's about taking someone's life... The General feels that there's something wrong with my mentality, but he didn't point it out directly."

"Taking someone's life means killing them... Xuan, do you feel guilty when you take someone's life? Or do you feel sympathy when you see them die in front of you?"

"It depends on the target. If the abundant evil creatures are not considered human, then I have never killed anyone personally, and I don't want to kill anyone with my own hands. Every life that deserves respect needs to be respected."

As Qing Qing continued to ask questions, she began to wonder if Xuan'er wasn't having any major issues. It seemed like her perspective on life was pretty similar to hers. It seemed like she should ask some more extreme questions.

"Kill one bad guy to save ten thousand good guys, would you do it or not?"

Regarding this issue, Lu Qing had no confusion at all. His thoughts had not changed before and after the time travel. If he stood in the position of a ruler, he would do it, but if he was just an ordinary citizen, he would not do so.

All choices should depend on where you are.

"Xuan'er, this is just a moral issue. Don't feel any particular psychological burden. No matter what you answer, it doesn't indicate whether you have any psychological problems. After all, I'm not a professional psychologist, just a counselor."

"If it were me, I would wait and see how evil that bad guy is. If this bad guy is an unforgivable person, then I would choose to kill him."

"Yeah, that's a pretty common answer."

"The second question is, are you willing to use my life to save everyone on the Luofu Immortal Boat, or are you not?"

At this moment, Lu Qing's smile was a little inexplicable, and Fu Xuan had never expected that Lu Qing would suddenly ask such a question.

“That doesn’t happen.”

"Is it really going to happen?"

"I will not make a choice... But, does your question have anything to do with taking someone else's life?"

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask."

"Bad guy."

"Okay, don't be angry, I won't joke with you anymore." Lu Qing hugged Fu Xuan in his arms.

"Xuan'er, you think you have a mental problem because you didn't feel anything when you killed the Fengrao people. You felt that they were just robots without intelligence, toys. You killed them and that was it. You didn't feel anything at all."

"If that's what you're thinking, I'm afraid I can't offer any counseling... Because I'm the same type of person. Unless they hold a special place in my heart, or have moved me with their heroic deeds, I won't be affected by their life or death."

"To be honest... Putting aside my identity as Luofu Siding and an ally of the Immortal Boat, in fact, in my opinion, Bu Li, whom I don't know, and the people of the Immortal Boat who I don't know, are actually no different. We are all strangers. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me."

"There's no need to force anything to change...Xuan'er, you just need to understand that as a general of Luofu, your responsibility is to protect the people of Luofu. As long as there are people living in Luofu, they are the ones you need to protect with all your strength."

"Whether they're civilians or Cloud Riders... As your people, naturally, the fewer deaths you can have, the better. Even if you don't feel anything about their loss, you must pretend to feel it and do your utmost to prevent any further deaths."

Lu Qing tried to choose implicit words to express his meaning.

"You should understand these political matters better than I do..."

Fu Xuan felt the warm embrace of Luan Qing, and all the complicated thoughts in his mind disappeared... He only felt at ease.
