"After all, I'm just an ordinary person, no different from most people in the world."
"But things seem to have changed now... I prefer to be able to do what I want, rather than being bound by morals and forced to do certain things."
He paused for a moment and said, "...Ling Xiao, I seem to have suddenly understood something that I didn't understand before."
