"But…"
Kan Tianji sighed. "This trip to the Northern Three Prefectures is a sign of great misfortune for him. If you go with him, even if you never see each other, you'll be tainted by the disaster."
Kan Luotang retorted, "So I should do nothing just because I'm worried about disaster?"
Kan Tianji was silent for a moment before slowly rising to his feet. "The way of heaven is to take from what has a surplus and give to what is deficient. The way of man is to take from the deficient and give to those who already have a surplus. By asking him to let this pill grant benefit the common people, you have violated the way of man. It will surely bring about a backlash…"
Kan Luotang smiled faintly. "I'm the one who asked him to do it. That means the danger comes from me, so I have all the more reason to go."
