"Defu, what did you just say to those people? How come they agreed to help the beaten merchant?" Daohua followed Xiao Yeyang through the crowd while turning her head to ask Defu.
Defu smiled, "The reason those people didn't dare to meddle was for fear of retaliation. I told them to just help and that there would be no trouble; naturally, they took action."
Daohua nodded and said with a smile, "When their own safety is assured, people generally do have a tendency towards goodness."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, wanting to say she was meddling in others' affairs, but he moved his lips and eventually swallowed his words.
If Daohua hadn't meddled in the past, he wouldn't have been rescued.
Actually, thinking about it, what she said wasn't wrong. As long as it doesn't harm oneself and is within one's capabilities, helping others is not a bad thing, who knows if it will plant the seeds of good karma?
