Chapter 235
Rat was dead, but he was still taking care of Xiao Xuan.
If we performed an Exorcism on Rat, then Xiao Xuan would find out that Rat was dead.
For a child with no father, no mother, and no family, that blow would be far too great. It would be devastating.
And without Rat, Xiao Xuan would only have the Blind Old Man left. The Blind Old Man was good to him and had taken him in, but at his age, and with his disability, there was no way he could properly look after Xiao Xuan.
Besides, if Rat was gone, then who would protect Xiao Xuan when he was bullied in the future?
When we performed Exorcisms for the dead, we were technically doing a good deed. But if you truly wanted to do good, you had to think things through. A gentleman is judged by his actions, not his intentions. If what we did failed to bring about a better outcome, then it was not an act of kindness. It was only satisfying our own desire to be kind. That was hypocrisy.
We had to consider what Xiao Xuan’s life would be like from now on.
Song Xiaotian and I were hesitating, discussing whether we should first talk it over with Seventh Master again and see if there was a better solution.
Just then, several teenagers walked over toward Xiao Xuan.
