Chapter 270 - 126: I Shall Become the Red Emperor!_3
"You should also know by now."
Li Guanyi’s eyes paused slightly, and he nodded.
The old man stretched out his finger, pointing at Li Guanyi, and said deliberately, "You saved them and let them return to their hometowns, but today, after you’ve killed a band of bandits, there are others in this world... They lack the power to protect themselves, and this world is not just and bright. There will surely be a second disaster."
"I once saved someone, who was ’saved’ seven times, sold seven times, and has since gone mad."
"However, those you saved needn’t worry about this now, thanks to the Imperial Guard and Elder Xue."
"But what if you lack these one day? These are all external factors."
"Without the influence of Elder Xue, without the status of the Imperial Guard."
"In this world, saving a life is like taking one."
Li Guanyi suddenly understood the deep sorrow in Mr. Siming’s eyes because, under some circumstances, being sold was better than being killed or taken away to be killed after being raped along the way.
The old man had lived long and must have seen many sad things.
Li Guanyi looked at Xue Daoyong, the fierce tiger of this chaotic world, who reached out to tousle the youth’s hair and said softly, "You only went to save them because you knew Elder Xue was backing you; you knew the Imperial Guard was there, so you entered the fray alone and broke up the Ghost Market. You’ve got courage and insight, willing to take risks and to kill when necessary."
