Wei Tingbao's face turned serious as he held his sword in salute, "When three people walk together, one of them must be my teacher. Wei has learned a lot."
Ji Changsheng unreservedly accepted Wei Tingbao's salute, then turned to Shi Yao and said, "The practice of Guanyin Hall cultivators involves severing worldly ties. Shi Yao, your actions are beneficial and harmless to you. However, merely doing this isn't enough to redeem the sins of the Shi Family, nor is it enough to repay the unintended consequences of your protection over the Shi Family."
Shi Yao's expression subtly changed, but after a moment of contemplation, she was convinced.
"Fellow Daoist Ji speaks wisely."
Ji Changsheng discerned the difference between the true Disciples of the Righteous Path and those of the Devil Sect.
If he reasoned sincerely with those kind-hearted Disciples of the Righteous Path, they were actually persuadable.
Devil Sect disciples... generally, only brute force could convince them.
