Jun Mo Xie laughed heartily at first Then, he said, ”This can't be generalized I'll tell you a story to demonstrate — There were two people once upon a tiht other fast these two people was a notorious scoundrel; he was a proper rogue However, the other one was a well-renowned good individual The scoundrel was feared and hated But, the goodto draater He would then fill each fahbors whenever they needed In fact, he would leave no stone unturned to help people Therefore, everyone was fond of him And, everyone was relieved to have hi happened one day The scoundrel was returning from a robbery But, he wasn't able to choose a proper route due to panic He accidentally ran into another person, and knocked him down as a result In fact, he knocked him down and killed him However, the man who had been knocked doas another scoundrel And, this second scoundrel had been gearing up to act rudely towards an innocent woman That scoundrel of a robber had done this unintentionally, but he had still done a good deed Therefore, everyone praised him In fact, they spoke of him as a savior, and a man who had suddenly repented for his sins The authorities even considered hiot about the misdeeds he had committed in the past”
Mei Xue Yan couldn't understand what he was trying to say So, she obviously didn't understand why he was telling her that story But, she figured that he must have a point at the end So, she listened to hi also listened calhed, and continued to speak, ”Then, that well-renowned good et out of the bed thatbecause his fever had made it very difficult for hith in his body And, he was extremely thirsty as well He wanted a sip of water But, his jar didn't have enough water He called out, but nobody was home Therefore, he forced himself out of his bed, and went out to fill water But, he was very tired and had no strength left So, he could only fill water for hihbors returned hooodwater for them They had returned home tired and thirsty But, they found that their water jars were eood ooddown Consequently, they becae, 'You're a selfish oof off at hoood man found himself alienated from everyone In fact, everyone said that they had been cheated by hi time After all, they felt that he was an extremely selfish man in reality”
Jun Mo Xie sneered as he finished the story He then laughed and said, ”What is a goodbut a narro point of foolish overnment officials Let's assuht official He speaks the truth, and rehteousness drips from the sleeves of his robes But, the people under his jurisdiction don't even have a belly-full of food to eat Therefore, everyone will call him a wretched e of governance However, let's assuovernobble up the people's reed for wealth is as insatiable as a bottomless pit And, even the deities froht path But, the people under this official are satisfied with their lot They have enough to eat, and they live very coood official who cares for the well-being of the people… This is the true morality of theto the opinions of others? What are the benefits of being a good ood outco a badthat I wish to do And, the entire world says that I shouldn't But, I still wish to do it So, I'll do it! And, that's only because I want to do it! Now, let's say that everyone wants , but I don't want to do it They will say, 'You'll earn name and fame if you do this So, you should do it You must do it!' But, I still won't do it! And, that's only because I don't want to! I have a si is as easily reversible as the division between good and bad After all, right and wrong aren't set in stone! It's only a hed heartily and said, ”So, I will follow my own desires!”
Mei Xue Yan was stunned by this A long while passed She then shook her head and s that I don't understand even after hearing this fallacy of yours… you're either far-sighted or a bigot… But, what you've said is correct Perhaps this is a common problem with you humans”
”Your words aren't entirely correct It doesn't mean that all humans are like this Aren't you Xuan Beasts the same? Everyone despises a bad apple, and looks down on them In fact, everyone secretly feels that they're much better than that individual Therefore, everyone suspects this bad person in case he or she has a change of mind and tries to mend their ways And, everyone is accustoood man who is conscientious and helps everyone In fact, everyone is grateful to him However, everyone invariably thinks that he's better than theood man suddenly makes one mistake Then, the criticism from others is several times more severe than what a norinates fro inferior Consequently, thetowards his mistake It's al down a God from his altar 'Ah, he is no better than us at the end of it…'”
Jun Mo Xie continued calood ood man in order to be a noble person Therefore, it's even harder to be a noble person! Then, there's the so-called 'heroes' as well But, you're required to be a good— that's plain miserable!
”Therefore, I'd rather be a bad man In fact, I want to be a bad man!” Jun Mo Xie continued in a calm manner, ”I only wish to becoood e that you people froood or bad person Don't you people give seniority to the strong? Don't tell ed?”
Mei Xue Yan was startled by this [It's true that the Tian Fa Forest's funda But, why did I get entangled in the notion of who is a good or a bad person if that's the case? Whether a person is good or bad… doesn't hold anyfor me Are we like hu the human standards of morality because I've taken on a hu Master speaks correctly It seely,” Mei Xue Yan smiled as she ridiculed herself
”Perhaps it's not about you being strongly attached to it Maybe it's my view that's too open,” Jun Mo Xie smiled calmly, ”Maybe people like me are fitter to live in Tian Fa Forest instead of this outside world of mortals”
”That's not it And, that's because of your nature You will inevitably find a way to be a bad o and live After all, you are you And, you will always be you,” Mei Xue Yan cracked a rare joke
”Of course! This Young Master is an expert at benefitting at others' expense I'll give everything I've got to take advantage of people And, I'd rather die than lose!” Jun Mo Xie snorted He then rubbed his fingers and smelled the a lesson And, the twirling of his fingers and the smack of his lips clearly acted as a recollection of the cheap advantage he had taken a while back
Mei Xue Yan snorted Her beautiful face suddenly becauy can't even hear tords of praise without getting haughty about it!]
