There's an old saying: if the leader says you can do it, you can do it even if you can't. If the leader says you can't, you can't even if you can.
Some people easily fall into the trap of a passive self-justification cycle, where a single negative comment from someone else triggers self-reflection on their own deficiencies. If someone accuses them of paying for only one bowl of noodles after eating two, they'd be compelled to open up their belly to prove their innocence.
Wang Yunxiao, however, had no such hobby for self-justification. It wasn't about beginning his calculations from the point of accepting money, but rather from the moment Old Master He took out the Imperial Jade Seal. The Shen Family was certainly not full of good people, and the Swallow Sect had stolen and hidden the Jade Seal for over a decade. Now that they suddenly brought it out to stir up trouble, could they be considered good?
