People in the world often enjoy being overly sentimental.
For any matter, people are accustomed to associating with themselves, because only then, after feeling empathy, do they feel life has some meaning.
For many, the meaning of life is supported by this feeling.
But from a cultivation perspective, this is merely the mischief of "ego."
To truly cultivate, one must eliminate the "ego."
Shen Yue naturally eliminated his ego, so he viewed others with an equal perspective, which is why his attitude towards everyone was similar—conflicts mostly arise from the other party's unequal views.
There are very few in this world who can eliminate "ego." Sun Fu was clearly someone with a deep "ego." He saw Shen Yue as a divine being descending from the heavens, fearing to displease the divine being and dared not inquire proactively. Yet, his thoughts spun like a fiery wheel, always calculating the connection between Shen Yue's intentions and his own side.
