Dugu Qianye looked coldly at Green Emperor Xiahou and said, "You call me master, but I have always treated you as a friend and never put on airs as a master. However, today I have to say a few words to you. Xiahou, have I ever taught you to be passive in the face of issues?"
"No," Green Emperor Xiahou answered with his head lowered obediently.
"Then have I ever taught you to mistreat your own body?" Dugu Qianye continued to ask.
"No," Green Emperor Xiahou answered.
"If not, then why have you tormented yourself to this state?" Dugu Qianye suddenly scoffed, "If it weren't for seeing Tian Bo earlier, I really couldn't believe that this emaciated and haggard person was the Green Emperor Xiahou I know. As a man, how can you stand tall and strong if you only act like a turtle, retreating from problems? If you continue this way, not to mention your parents' disapproval, I myself would be reluctant to acknowledge you as my disciple!"
