[ That's a good fucking question. He doesn't know how the original Shen Qingqiu was taught. The backstory of a scum villain is rarely one anyone wants to hear. But he does know his own. ]

I was taught in a similar manner, yes. [ Private tutors FTW! The joys of being a rich kid. ] As for why perpetuate and continue ... it's the way of the sect. The sect wishes to cut a person off from the material world. It is a means to cut away the desires a person would have.

[ He shrugs. ] The path to a righteous, pure, and noble cultivator is not an easy one. Those that come into the sect are usually young ... around thirteen-years-old. To tell a young teenager that they should not be boastful, not hold status over others, not throw rocks at others... there are only a few children that are so good.

[ He chuckles. ] So, I don't blame them. It's quite a tall order to ask. But they shouldn't expect not to get scolded for it and set right.
