As Han Wu said, "Alas! If I could truly be like the Yellow Emperor, I would view leaving my wife and children as simply removing my shoes!"
Since ancient times, the greater the achievement, the more ruthless the person, often loving only themselves!
This is also something often said by cultivators: To achieve great success, one must first overcome emotional barriers.
Xu Qing rarely delved into these matters; anything he liked or cared about, he tried to preserve. This was both a desire and his driving force.
For Xu Qing, the meaning behind things wasn't important; the crucial aspect was taking action.
On another note, he was pleased with Tianling Shangren's change in attitude, seeing the second "tool person" after Fu Xuan gradually being developed.
He always advocated for a win-win situation: minimizing the enemies and maximizing one's own people, which is the true way of the world.
