Chapter 896: Learn to Respect Others
After a moment of silence, he asked, “Isn’t that how it’s supposed to be?”
“Yes.” A young man in a blue robe smiled. “But one shouldn’t judge someone just by appearance. You should know how many traitors and infiltrators he has encountered, yet he emerges unscathed every time. He always manages to achieve great merits along the way. Observe the people who complete tasks with him. Most of them are always grateful and indebted to him. Those who end up dead are usually spies or traitors to the sect. What do you think of that?”
“Isn’t that just because his cultivation realm is higher than ordinary fellow disciples?” Lin MO asked.
“Junior Brother Lin, your aspiration for immortality is commendable, but your understanding of the path of cultivation is not enough.” The young man laughed. “You need to look beyond appearances. He discovers infiltrators and traitors, and at the same time, he makes his fellow companions respect him. His skills, his demeanor, his state of mind… It’s all worth learning from. You need to observe, learn, and experience. Only then will you avoid the situation you are currently facing.”
The young man looked at the silver door, sighed, and then turned to Lin Mo. “We were all young once, but we had to learn. If your thinking doesn’t change, then your future might be bumpy. You can decide whether you want to go back to patrol with the group or not. It may be embarrassing, but it’s also a part of growth. We will investigate the people from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion, but we won’t act for now. When you become strong enough, you can take on the task of finding them. Of course, the requirement would be for you to be able to join the Law Enforcement Hall fully.”
Around late August, Jiang Hao continued patrolling in the outer sect area.
This time, Zhao Qingxue cooperated fully. Lin Zhi didn’t say anything. They hadn’t spoken for the past few days, and Jiang Hao didn’t rush to ask about what had happened.
People needed time to process things and learn from it. Everyone had their own way of coping with things.
However, the incident was enough to prompt them to think deeply about it.
The first thing to learn was forgiveness, which became more difficult as one ventured further from the sect.
Lin MO and the others wouldn’t bother with that. They would kill at the first instant.
Jiang Hao wanted Lin Zhi to understand that the sect was the safest and that the outside world was far more dangerous.
A slight mistake could make them targets, and their fate would be uncertain.
Ten days after the incident, Jiang Hao saw that Zhao Qingxue and Lin Zhi were gradually recovering. Both of them seemed different from before.
Jiang Hao didn’t care much about Zhao Qingxue, but Lin Zhi was from his branch, and the spirit beast had helped him grow.
Xiao Li got along well with him, so Jiang Hao couldn’t just ignore him.
It was time to make him understand the dangers that lay outside the sect.
Senior Brother Zheng wasn’t ordinary either. They had worked together before, and he knew how to stay safe.
Lin MO returned to the patrol team with his head lowered.
He approached and greeted Jiang Hao and Zheng Shijiu. “Seniors…”
Zheng Shijiu was surprised. He nodded. He felt that Lin MO was different from before. Perhaps he had learned from his actions.
Jiang Hao nodded and didn’t say much.
“Let’s go. It’s time for the patrol.”
Jiang Hao didn’t fly on his sword but walked instead.
He walked on a narrow path full of monster dung. It was unpleasant and difficult to walk on. However, Jiang Hao still led them on.
Zheng Shijiu was puzzled but followed along.
Lin Zhi frowned. He was confused.
Zhao Qingxue looked at them with disdain.
Jiang Hao looked at Lin Zhi behind him. “Any feelings about this road?”
“It’s dirty,” Lin Zhi said softly.
“How do you feel walking on it?” Jiang Hao looked at him.
“I feel some disgust and skepticism,” Lin Zhi said truthfully.
“Is there anything you want to say?” Jiang Hao asked.
Lin Zhi hesitated for a moment. “I don’t understand why we have to walk this dirty path. ”
“I’m leading you on this path. Do you resent me?”
“No,” said Lin Zhi.
“The one cleaning the path is a lazy senior who isn’t doing the job well. Do you blame him?”
“The one who is dirtying the path is a powerful senior with a powerful beast.” Lin Zhi was confused.
“In the sect, you will find many situations which might frustrate you, but you’ll have to learn to deal with them. Do not reveal your emotions on your face.”
“You first need to learn to silently observe your surroundings. You shouldn’t reveal how you feel in your words as well, ” said Jiang Hao.
Lin Zhi only half understood what he was being told but tried to keep everything in mind.
Zheng Shijiu noticed that Jiang Hao was teaching Lin Zhi. However, Lin MO felt conflicted. He wasn’t willing to follow such teachings.
“People are different. You need to find a balance,” Jiang Hao said. “Each person has different thoughts and feelings. Being compliant and nodding along with everything others say means you aren’t being yourself.”
Later, they arrived at a muddy place where the busy outer sect disciples noticed them. They walked over to greet them.
“We’re here on patrol. We don’t mean to trouble you. Please don’t worry about us,” Jiang Hao said politely to the outer sect disciples, who were quite surprised but left them on their own.
Refinement Realm?” Jiang Hao asked the group.
“If I tell you that one of them is at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, would you still feel superior?”
The group was stunned. Jiang Hao didn’t explain further.
“Learn to treat those you look down upon with respect. It will keep you humble.”
Lin Zhi nodded.
“But understand the most important thing: don’t hesitate when it’s time to take action,” Jiang Hao said.
He had discussed similar topics with Chu Chuan before but never in such detail. Lin Zhi, being less exposed to the outside world, found it challenging to understand everything.
Whether these lessons would be useful to him would depend on himself. They continued to patrol.
The disciples of the Great Thousand God Sect had been here for a while, and it seemed like a conflict within the sect would soon erupt. They needed to avoid it as much as possible.
Early the next morning, after finishing the patrol, Jiang Hao felt the stone tablet vibrate. A gathering was in order.
It would be held at midnight.
It had been a long time since the last meeting.
Jiang Hao wasn’t sure about the situation outside. It was a good opportunity to check for more information about the southern region. There had been remarkable incidents taking place in the sect recently.
He decided to exchange patrol times with someone for the day. Unfortunately, the only available patrol was the one at White Moon Lake. That place always had strong individuals around.
Jiang Hao sighed. He had no choice but to agree..
