Chapter 23: The Old Daoist, Coming for Vengeance!
"Is what he said true?"
Inside the cave mansion, Ye Feixue asked.
It seemed that an inexplicable unease filled her heart.
Lu Xuanji could have righteously declared that the old Daoist was speaking nonsense and slandering him.
Yet the moment he spoke, he said, "It’s true!"
"I don’t want to deceive you. What he said is true. The Lu Family has done many filthy and despicable things, almost like demons." Lu Xuanji said, "When there are many people, there are bound to be conflicts. When there are a thousand people, all kinds of people appear; there are good people and bad people."
"Originally, this wouldn’t be a big deal, as long as the family rules and ethics are proper, and as long as the clan leader enforces the law strictly, it’s still possible to suppress the evil in people’s hearts and make the family generally healthy."
"Unfortunately, the ancestor himself is not upright, so how can we expect those below to have integrity? The family ethos has completely decayed."
This is also a drawback of cultivation clans.
The ancestor, Lu Fuming, was the first to be dishonest. In that meeting more than ten years ago, he seemed to show great righteousness by exterminating three Foundation Establishment cultivators.
