Chapter 366: Chapter 290: Standing on One’s Own Two Feet (3rd Update, Asking for Monthly Tickets)

Su Yu was taken aback, then Ma Ziye continued, "At least right now, we can’t go back to our old world. According to what Ada and the others have said, the whole of humanity will be embedded in this world in two years. If that’s true, even if we find a way to go back, it would be pointless. We need to prepare in advance! Freedom Village might be good, but it still belongs to Meng Ting in the end. Don’t you ever think about building our own village, our own home?"

Su Yu furrowed his brows. He truly hadn’t thought about building their own village before. Rubbing his forehead, he said, "Ziye, aren’t we doing well in Freedom Village right now? How did you suddenly think of establishing our own separate village? Did you...Have a conflict with Meng Ting? Or..."

Ma Ziye shook her head, saying, "No, I didn’t have any conflict with her. I just feel that... No matter how good Freedom Village is, it’s not ours. Meng Ting is a good person, but she values Freedom Village too much and her ways can be... quite uncompassionate."

Su Yu smiled faintly, absent-mindedly reaching out to stroke Ma Ziye’s hair, and said, "Different positions give people different perspectives on matters, people will have different ways of dealing with things. Meng Ting has been working tirelessly, intending to develop and strengthen ’Freedom Village’. Even though some of her actions may seem heartless, she’s ultimately doing it for the good of everyone."

Upon hearing this, Ma Ziye suddenly interjected, "What if, for the advancement of ’Freedom Village’, she asks you to sacrifice yourself? How would you feel about that?"

Su Yu was startled, Ma Ziye quickly shook her head, and said, "No, no, I’m just making an assumption. Imagine if Meng Ting asked for my sacrifice in order to preserve Freedom Village, what do you think, Su Yu? Do you agree with her methods?"

Su Yu gave a bitter smile and said, "Ziye, what are you trying to say? How could such a thing happen? Meng Ting would never do such a thing! You’re overthinking."

Ma Ziye looked at Su Yu, her expression serious as she said, "I’m being serious. Answer me. If Meng Ting wants to sacrifice me for ’Freedom Village’, what would you do? Would you agree with her? Su Yu, listen to me, I want you to answer me seriously."

Su Yu laughed and said, "Ziye, do you even need to ask that? Every one of us is a precious comrade to me, and no one, for whatever reason, has the right to sacrifice anyone of us for their own benefits. If Meng Ting would really do something like that, she would no longer be our ally. Understand, Ziye? If Meng Ting really wants to sacrifice you for the benefit of Freedom Village, I imagine... I would personally... " With the soft sound of metal, Su Yu’s right hand involuntarily transformed into a Golden Claw.

"Stop talking, I know your decision." Ma Ziye couldn’t help but reach out and hold Su Yu’s Golden Claw, not wanting him to continue.

Starting from knowing Meng Ting, up until the point where Meng Ting risked her and Freedom Village’s lives for them, as well as for Kou Xiaowei, these actions of hers deeply moved Ma Ziye and the others. Ma Ziye had always been both grateful and respectful towards Meng Ting, but Meng Ting’s behind-the-scene actions during Su Yu and Wang Di’s battle made Ma Ziye question the Meng Ting she knew. It seemed completely different.

It was then that Ma Ziye finally understood, in the eyes of Meng Ting, everything she did was for "Freedom Village", even risking their lives was just that she had seen the usefulness in Su Yu and the others. The decision Meng Ting made during the battle between Wang Di and Su Yu hurt Ziye deeply.

However, after spending many days with her, and seeing that Meng Ting had indeed done so much for them, Ma Ziye decided to give Meng Ting another chance. She hoped that Meng Ting would tell Su Yu herself what had happened that day, and then based on Su Yu’s decision, she would decide what to do next.

However, until now, Meng Ting has not discussed with Su Yu what had happened that day. This made Ma Ziye completely lose her trust in Meng Ting, prompting her to ask Su Yu whether he had thoughts of establishing their own village. Ma Ziye has already felt that Meng Ting is not a teammate they can stay with for a long time. Comparing friendship and interests, Meng Ting values interests more. She made all the decisions, and how she treated them well, was looking at the interests.

It is imaginable that if Su Yu did not exist, if Su Yu did not have such a strong strength, Meng Ting would definitely not turn against Lei Yu and the others from "Peach Blossom Town" on that night for their sake.

"Ziye, what happened tonight that made you feel so strongly?" Su Yu retracted the power of the Golden Blood in his right hand, but still felt something was off. He could vaguely guess that there should be something happening between Ma Ziye and Meng Ting, otherwise Ma Ziye would never bring this up. However, Su Yu didn’t guess this matter had something to do with him.

Ma Ziye merely shook her head and whispered, "Su Yu, I just thought, if we get to school and find everyone...there are so many of us, can’t we build a place of our own? What do you think? Freedom Village...is not our home after all... And the development of Freedom Village is not healthy."

"Oh?" Su Yu looked at Ma Ziye and said, "Do you mean, there are hidden dangers in Freedom Village?"

"Yeah, Freedom Village may seem strong now, but there are too many internal problems. Firstly, Meng Ting. Even though she’s the leader, she’s only a Fourth Order warrior. How can she command those who are Level Five or even powerful warriors like you who are Sixth-order Powerhouse? However, Meng Ting herself has an immense desire for power and she definitely won’t give up her position as leader. There are not many people in Freedom Village yet. But as it grows, these issues will become more serious... unless Meng Ting quickly grows into a Sixth-order Powerhouse like you, these problems will soon erupt. And have you thought about... if you stay in Freedom Village, many people will see you as the true leader. If this continues, what do you think Meng Ting will think as a leader? Will she be willing? Do you think she and us can continue to live in peace like this?"
