truly remarkable. But in reality, those who can bend and stretch, who

can take the blame for others, and who can accomplish great things and

shoulder heavy responsibilities without showing any emotion or

revealing their true character are the truly extraordinary. —

(Heartbroken Little Arrow)

A knight-errant helps others, a thief harms others—but in this world, it

often happens that people steal, rob, or steal others' money, property,

reputation, status, power, and emotions, and then pretend to be the

victim or a righteous person. How should such people be classified? A

knight-errant? A thief? A hypocrite or a true villain? —(Sad Little Arrow)

ruthless than good people.

original aspirations. —(Young Cold-Blooded)

You can't always have someone tell you the enemy's strengths and

weaknesses, and even if you do know, it might not be true.

If you want to understand your enemy's strength, you have to put in the

effort to find out for yourself; otherwise, you have to filter the

information yourself. If you don't know the other party's background,

the only thing you can do is strengthen your own. —(Young Cold

this will find it impossible to move an inch. —(Young Cold)

What are some necessary elements in interpersonal struggles?

If everyone could have food to eat, a house to live in, and wives and

children, wouldn't that be good enough? Why go to war and wage

conflict year after year?

But the wars continued; the law of the jungle prevailed, and large

countries, possessing vast territories, still annexed smaller ones. In fact,

this wasn't limited to conflicts between individuals! Even the vast

oceans...

Fish don't eat smaller fish, do they? Birds in the sky eat insects, don't

they? Humans don't just kill people; they also set fire to mountains,

burn houses, and kill any birds or beasts they see.It was determined to be for keeping warm and sustenance.

People kill without asking why, only for the thrill of it; "fabricated

charges" are the justification in themselves. —(Young Iron Hand)

Zhui Ming)

Chaser)

Those who have truly experienced the world know that calling someone

"brother" doesn't necessarily mean they are brothers; true friendship

often involves life and death. Calling someone "elder brother" might

just be a sincere expression of respect because the other person is

older, more virtuous, more cultured, or of a higher seniority.

There is a proper bond between friends, and a proper loyalty between

brothers; these cannot be confused. Some people have friends all over

the world, but no true confidants. Some have many brothers, but no

close friends. Some are brothers for life.

I know best who my friends are and who my brothers are. If you can't

even tell the difference between friends and brothers, how can you be a

true (jianghu person, a person of the martial arts world)? —

(Young Zhui Ming)

A person would not kill the one they love. — (Young Chaser)

Everyone has personal matters; as long as they don't interfere with

official business, that's their freedom. — (Young Chaser)

from the start; some are skeptical, sometimes doubting and sometimes

believing without question. — (Young Chaser)

How can we stand idly by when our brothers are in trouble?

This is the principle of those in the martial world. —(Draws sword in

anger)

For those who roam the martial arts world, the most important thing is:

friends.Without friends, one can hardly move an inch in the martial world. —

(Drawing his sword in anger)

A brave and valiant man may disregard worldly rules, but who dares to

defy the rules of conscience? — (Drawing his sword in anger)

The weakness of those in the martial arts world lies in their adherence

to code of honor.

But as true江湖人士 (jianghu figures), who can disregard morality? —

"Old hand" means:

Having weathered many storms, experienced both success and failure,

and been both a deceiver and a victim of deception, he now only

deceives others, and no one can deceive him. — (Drawing his sword in

anger)

An old hand.

Sometimes it's like saying—a person has seen through what is real,

what is fake, and what doesn't even need to be distinguished. —

(Drawing a sword in anger)

Anyone who ventures into the martial world will inevitably encounter

enemies. Even if you don't want to fight, there will always be someone

who opposes you.

As a member of the martial arts world, complete peace is impossible.

Where there is hostility, there is success or failure.

One should not judge a person by success or failure, nor should one

view the big picture based on personal gains or losses; otherwise, one

will inevitably be biased.

In a battle, who strikes first is a matter of principle, but who falls first is

what truly matters, for that is the key to victory. — (Drawing his sword

in anger)

Once a person is dissatisfied, they will do many things to vent their

anger.

Some people believe that if a person gives up easily, they will lose heart,

so they insist on fighting their opponents, whether out of pride or

arrogance. — (Drawing their sword in anger)

There is a type of person who is usually carefree and jovial, acting like a

child even in adulthood. However, when an accident occurs, the more
