"Thank you...Xie Yue...Senior Brother..."
Looking at the trembling Shen Qingyi, Yue Xicheng shook his head helplessly again.
"Xiao Qingyi, why are you doing this? It's so cold in this Ice Pond Cave. You should quickly admit your mistake to your uncle. He still loves you very much and will definitely let you out."
Shen Qingyi shivered as he gnawed the hot fruit pie in his hand and sniffed.
"Brother, if...if it was you at that time...what would you do?"
During these days in the Siguo Cave, Shen Qingyi had also thought about the reason why her master punished her.
Yue Xicheng was stunned by the question. He had also heard about Shen Qingyi's affairs.
In order to use talismans to protect a few mortals, he was willing to swallow the explosive pill.
To be honest, very few of their disciples are capable of doing such a stupid thing.
But you can't say this to Junior Sister Shen. After all, she is a girl and she also needs to save face.
but……
Yue Xicheng hesitated for a long time but still couldn't find a suitable answer.
"Brother... do you also think I'm... very stupid..."
Yue Xicheng shut his mouth. He felt that it was really stupid to take such a risk for a few mortals he had never met before.
"Xiao Qingyi... Actually, I don't think you're stupid. It's just that... you were in danger at the time, and your actions were a bit... a bit impulsive... You could have... reached a safe place first, and then sent a distress signal to the sect."
Even if they did this, by the time the sect disciples arrived, those mortals and cultivators might be dead.
"Brother... if I had... left at that time, they might have... If I had stayed, I would have had the explosive growth pill and talismans, and maybe I could have held on until the sect disciples arrived."
"But what if you can't hold on?"
Yue Xicheng couldn't bear to see Shen Qingyi's dazed look, but there were some things he had to say.
"Qingyi, this is the world of immortal cultivation. There are so many mortals in the world, and they have their own lives to live. We cultivators go against the will of heaven and focus on cause and effect. Sometimes getting involved too much is bad for ourselves and others. Think about it, there are so many people in the world of immortal cultivation, and you are only one. You can save one person, save an entire village, but can you save so many other people in this world?"
"You are just a small Qi cultivator. In that situation, your wisest choice would be to turn around and leave everything behind. I think that Master Uncle is not angry because you saved others, but because you disregarded your own safety to save others."
"In this world, only the strong are qualified to save others and have mercy on others. Do you understand?"
"A strong one?"
"Also, I also heard about your last experience out there. Qingyi, the world of immortal cultivation is different from other places. You were soft-hearted at the time, or something else, but think about it. If you had been soft-hearted, what would you have done if your brothers and sisters were injured? Or, in other words, if you had let those monsters go, what would their future be like? Would they be grateful to you? If you let them go, they would still attack and eat other creatures, their own kind, or even our own kind?"
"In the world of immortal cultivation, everyone has their own destiny. Weakness is a sin. The fittest survive, and the strong are respected. You can have your own bottom line, but everything must be based on survival."
After Yue Xicheng left, Shen Qingyi was silent for a long time.
The air inside the Ice Pond Cave didn't seem that cold anymore.
