Chương 178: Chapter 178 – Applicable Advice?

"Just be more amongst people?" Shang asked.

Teacher Mervin nodded. "As long as you retain some kind of social life, it should be fine."

Shang looked at teacher Loran. "That sounds different from what he said."

Teacher Loran looked to the side.

"What did he say?" teacher Mervin asked.

"He said that he isn't willing to teach someone that doesn't care about their own life, and he also left a cryptic comment. He said that my life is not only my own," Shang answered.

"I do agree with that," teacher Mervin said calmly. "However, that is several steps in the future. It is essentially the end goal."

"Could you elaborate?" Shang asked.

"If you are more amongst people, you will learn to care for more people, and more people will care for you. At that point, you might not want to risk your life as much. If you die, your close ones will suffer as well. In that sense, your life is not only your own."
