Chapter 393: The Time He Waited and Took (6)
“Our sect follows the Righteous Path,” the Sword of Beginning’s teacher said. “What is the Righteous Path? How would you answer?”
His teacher’s words made him think. Righteous. Being right.
As the thoughts crossed his mind, he quickly answered, “I believe it means pursuing what is right.”
“What is the meaning of being right?”
After pondering, he answered, “Literally, it means not being wrong.”
“What’s the difference between what’s not wrong and what’s wrong?”
The Sword of Beginning thought but couldn’t answer.
His teacher raised his bandaged hand and pointed somewhere. “What does that appear to be?”
He looked in the direction his teacher pointed. A fluffy cloud drifted across a spring sky so blue it almost hurt to look at.
“It appears to be a cloud.”
“Yes, a cloud. How does that appear to you?”
His teacher’s question made him think again. The reply came after a long pause.
