Tang Huoyang and Pei Jinye went to a nearby teahouse for a chat.
“Just last November, we were still cultivating with Teacher Chang. Who would have thought he could do something so questionable and sordid.”
The moment Teacher Chang was mentioned, Tang Huoyang’s expression became complicated.
In a way, he really regarded Teacher Chang as his mentor.
But what Teacher Chang did was something people could not condone.
“Am I being a bit melodramatic?”
Tang Huoyang said with a bitter smile as he shook his head.
Pei Jinye understood his feelings and did not voice any criticism. Instead, he slowly said, “Your loyalty and sense of justice are visible to all. Don’t put too much psychological pressure on yourself. Everyone has their own choices to make and must face the consequences of those choices.
Whatever Teacher Chang does, he will bear the consequences himself. You don’t need to empathize with that.”
After a moment of silence, Tang Huoyang nodded and earnestly said, “Thank you, Jinye, I feel much better now.”
Pei Jinye lifted his teacup and clinked it with Tang Huoyang’s.
“Did you encounter anything interesting outside?”
At the mention of this, Tang Huoyang’s spirits rose a bit.
“Actually, yes. I just found out that there are ancient tribes in the Southern Continent that worship Totem Powers. You won’t believe it, but Master Lin was nearly kidnapped and married off to their Saintess. Luckily, he ran fast. Once they marry, as soon as the Saintess gives birth, Master Lin would have had to be castrated, to prove his loyalty to the Saintess.”
“…”
“Really, I had to hire mercenaries to rescue Master Lin. The tribe’s Transcendent powers are weird, they can gain strength through the Totem’s power… If the Saintess weren’t a reasonable person, we might not have made it out in one piece.”
Tang Huoyang was also somewhat reflective, “Seriously, while we’re young we should travel more. The outside world can be so amazing, sometimes you have no idea.”
