Xu Yangbo's body trembled, he said, "Brother Dong!"
Dong Pingjiang blandly said, "One only knows fear after surviving something. On usual days, one might boast of their profound cultivation, looking down on all mundane matters. But when they actually experience something, this so-called aloof mentality is just a way to deceive the world and steal a reputation. I don't want this to happen again. When the children of our Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace go out, if they are still aggrieved or even encounter death because of the old generations' relationships.... What is the use of such friendships?"
The color drained from Xu Yangbo's face, he spoke in a dry tone after a long while, "Exactly, if good deeds are deemed ill and the evildoers get more opportunities for revenge due to the relationships of the old generations... then such friendships do indeed have no meaning."
