Chapter 1373

Su Xiaoxiao: "Of course, he is too indecisive, weak, and incompetent."

Umaru: "Yes, yes, he has no responsibility as a man at all."

Yue Buqun: "I don't agree with this."

Umaru: "??? Sect Master Yue, aren't we on the same side?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Yes, Sect Master Yue, could it be that you think Zhuo Yihang did the right thing?"

Yue Buqun: "Haven't you discovered one point? Zhuo Yihang had no choice."

Umaru: "??? That's not right; he could clearly have betrayed Wudang."

Zhang Sanfeng: "Cough, cough, Miss Umaru is thinking too simply. In the Jianghu, the price of betraying the sect is greater than you imagine."

Xiong Ba: "That's right. When the time comes, not only will the sect want to kill you, but anyone in the world with a heart can kill you."

Umaru: "Do others care so much?"

Huang Rong: "In the Jianghu, betraying the sect is called a Jianghu scum; even if you join the Demon Sect, you will be often ridiculed. This is not a joke."

Li Shimin: "In ancient times, the world was almost governed by filial piety. The crime of disobedience is one of the ten evils, and it is not pardoned. The master is like a father; betraying the sect is also equivalent to disobedience; how can it be so easy to bear? If you really do it, you will have to peel off a layer of skin and be pointed at by others forever."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Is that so?"

Ye Hei: "More importantly, Zhuo Yihang has been in that environment since he was a child, and he is from a scholarly family; the three cardinal guides and five constant virtues have long been deeply rooted in his soul, so his actions will naturally be influenced by these things. On the contrary, Miss Lian, because she has little contact with these, has a more rebellious spirit and is closer to the thinking of modern people like us."

Zhang Taixuan: "This is actually the tragedy of the era. Few people can transcend their era background. Like Miss Lian, people without those frameworks in their hearts are probably hard to find in that era."

Zhu Youjian: "Even if there really were, it would probably be hard to survive. If you don't follow the rules, the family clan law will not be lenient."

Umaru: "Is there no solution?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Yes, there should always be a path for lovers to eventually get married, right?"

Zhu Wushi: "You are thinking too much. In ancient times, once you were labeled with the crime of disobedience, you could not have a stable life. Ordinary people might lose their lives because of this; Jianghu people are better, but they can only drift."

Zhang Taixuan: "Think about *Peacock Flies Southeast*, and you will know! In ancient times, if you want to defy parents and elders for love, unless you hang yourself from a southeast branch."

Su Xiaoxiao: "No, dead memories are starting to attack me!"

Umaru: "Now that you mention this, I understand."

Hu Yifei: "Umaru also knows this?"

Umaru: "Don't forget, I am a top student. I have read these poems. I used to think Jiao Zhongqing was not a man, not daring to resist his mother and support his wife. Now that I think about it, it is because he couldn't do anything except die."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Yes, ancient fathers and mothers are not modern parents; they hold the power of life and death in the family, and the relationship with their children is clearly a superior-subordinate relationship. If you resist, at best, you don't get property and become a refugee; at worst, you carry the name of disobedience and people die."

Zhang Taixuan: "So, Jiao Zhongqing has reached his limit. And Zhuo Yihang is the same; he can give up his family status and the identity of a famous disciple, but he will definitely not defy his elders. So, his choice was doomed long ago."

Umaru: "Ancient times are really dark!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "There are frameworks everywhere that want people's lives."

Hu Yifei: "So, it is called a man-eating feudal society."

Ye Hei: "I really don't know why those without golden fingers dare to go to ancient times?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Because they think that if they transmigrate, they will be princes and nobles, princesses and daughters; but they never thought that if they transmigrate, they might not even be able to be farmers with land."

Umaru: "Isn't it being a maid? 【Smirk】"

Ye Hei: "A young lady's maid also needs to look delicate."

Su Xiaoxiao: "In that case, without a golden finger, Brother Taixuan doesn't want to transmigrate either?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Isn't this a matter of course? In modern society, there are more opportunities, and I still can't make a name for myself. Could it be that if I go to ancient times, I will suddenly have a great awakening and become a hero? Without a golden finger, it is better to dream less of this kind of thing."

Lian Nishang: "So Zhuo Yihang's choice had so many reasons?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "We are just analyzing the era at that time; Miss Lian won't change her mind, right?"

Lian Nishang: "No. I am just a bit emotional that the rules of the world are so powerful that they can bind a Jianghu hero and make him unable to get freedom."

Zhang Taixuan: "So some people say, heaven and earth are great, but the Dao is the greatest! All human behavior is guided by their own thoughts. And where do thoughts come from? Of course, from life experience and books; these truths seem to be realized by us. However, most of them are just from predecessors. We seem free, but we have always been under the thought web woven by our predecessors."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Stop talking, stop talking, the child is already starting to be afraid!"

Umaru: "Same. I am starting to doubt whether my thoughts are really my own!"

Ying Zheng: "According to the Daoist Lord, aren't we emperors also under these rules?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Mere emperors, how can they transcend the truths laid down by predecessors? Even immortals, most of them live under the truths of the human world."

Zhang Taixuan: "In many worlds, humans are the protagonists of heaven and earth; there may be a reason for this. Because the human race has established truths for all races and bound all living beings in heaven and earth."

Jin Chanzi: "Why does it feel like the human race has suddenly become a bit terrifying? Like some conspirator."

Ye Hei: "Terrifying upright apes!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Everyone doesn't need to be afraid. The truths of the human race are supported by their own ethnic group and by all races; at least they conform to the interests of most humans and most ethnic groups. Otherwise, no matter how good the truth is, if it doesn't conform to everyone's interests, who would follow it?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "According to this—in the story of *Peacock Flies Southeast*, filial piety also conforms to the interests of most people?"

Li Shimin: "Naturally. Filial piety conforms to the interests of the emperor, the interests of the nobles, and even more to the interests of parents in the world. As for the children? They have no power when they are young, and it doesn't matter whether they have opinions or not; it is not important. When they become parents, this filial piety will also conform to their interests. They will only resist when they are children; once they become parents, will they oppose themselves?"

Umaru: "..."

Hu Yifei: "This is simply a vicious cycle."
