Lingyun, the young girl, couldn't answer some of the questions Tang Ye had thrown at her. There's a saying that goes, "With great ability comes great responsibility." The more capable you are, the more responsibility you should take on. So now that Tang Ye was very strong, did he have to do more and protect more people?
Tang Ye honestly said that if he was to protect anyone, he would prioritize the people around him. As for others, even if they were innocent and life was equal, Tang Ye would still choose the people close to him. Was that selfish?
