Chapter 2576: Courting Death (1/2)
The master-disciple duo was surprised by Li Qiye’s response They didn’t think he would refuse so quickly and with such conviction
“Young noble, you are a supreme master, please show benevolence and save the citizens of our city” Wu Youzheng cupped his fist and bowed
Li Qiye nodded his head slightly: “No need for that, it’s not too late to evacuate Why wait for someone else to save you? Plus, I don’t care about the citizens here or there or wherever This isn’thad no response
“Are you just going to watch several hundred thousand people die?” Xiyue loudly questioned hiry at her tone
“You!” She glared and said indignantly: “Aren’t you a master? Is your heart made of stone and your blood runs cold? You’re no s of one! You’re just a cruel villain…”
“Don’t be disrespectful!” Youzheng instantly yelled at her and apologized: “Young noble, please forgive my disciple’s indiscretion”
“Master, why are you apologizing to so capable? He’s not worthy of respect…” She felt wronged
Li Qiye looked at her and smiled: “Then you tell ers and I’m just a passerby The world is vaster than you think with countless inhabitants When a sect is destroyed, anywhere ranging from several hundred thousands or dozens of million people turn to ashes Your city’s death count would only be at the level of a third-rate sect’s destruction, and this happens on a daily basis in Three Immortals Ten thousand or so of these sects fall every year, not to mention numerous other problerain of sand in the desert If I try and save everyone who is in need of saving, I would never have the ti else What about you? Do you think you’re h to save everyone? How many have actually done so in history?”
Yixue couldn’t come up with a quick response She wasn’t aware of the cruelty and dangers in the outside world
Youzheng sighed as well Unlike his disciple, he understood that if Li Qiye actually has the capability to save the city, his doing so would be out of ical as well
Why should he save Mingluo City? Plus, the citizens here ht not even appreciate his action Some would think that it was his duty, that it was expected as aat her: “No one will save you or those around you You need to do it yourself Hoping for a savior is irresponsible and showing laziness towards your dao Plus, even if someone wants to play the role of a savior, then where do they start when sosaved? Who will make the rules and selection criteria? Thus, a savior will not save a particular city or race They will only watch over the world itself and defend it when necessary - focusing on the grand sche individuals” [1]
She slowly digested the ht that Li Qiye was being cruel for turning a blind eye But now, her thinking slightly changed
“You are right, Young noble” Youzheng gently sighed and cupped his fist towards Li Qiye
They couldn’t force hireat rasp
Their conversation came to a halt because tco in front and one lingering in the back
The first had expensive clothes - a s The feathers came from special birds and eolden crest, looking quite iance and pride as he looked down on the world
The youth in the back was the opposite His clothes were shabby in comparison, but his demeanor showed that he was a crafty one
