Liao Feng grinned, “Brother Yuchen, do you want me to become a chivalrous man who travels around the world with a sword?”
Su Yuchen smiled, “You don’t need to be like that always. Just be brave when you can achieve something, kill evildoers and save more people.”
“So, did you understand everything I said up to now?”
Liao Feng answered while his eyebrows knotted together, “I think I understood most of
what you have said. When others attack me and then they don’t stop trying to kill me, I can kill them without any guilty. If society means a group of people then they can also kill a person who is attacking their group repeatedly. Did I remember right, Brother Yuchen?”
Su Yuchen nodded, “Yes, you are right, it’s similar to what I said.”
“Now let me speak about why Star Falcon Sect killing the members from its disbanded rival sect is wrong.”
Liao Feng stared at Su Yuchen and focused on what he was going to say.
Su Yuchen continued, “The disbanded sect is not an evil sect. It doesn’t need to be destroyed by the society.”
“A sect is an institution where people who share similar interests, goals, and experiences gather, etc... It is a mini society.”
“A society has many threats it needs to deal with. One of the biggest threats to a society is the existence of another society with different interests and goals.”
“What do you do when you have threat, Liao Feng?”
Liao Feng thought about it and answered, “We need to eliminate them or show them that we are stronger than them and that we can easily eliminate them?”
Su Yuchen smiled, “The second answer you said is correct in a situation where the rival society is only a sect. The first answer is suitable when the rival sect attacks us.”
Liao Feng nodded.
Su Yuchen continued, “When the rival society is a threat we need to increase our defences and also show our offensive strength.”
“Look at our kingdom. The neighbouring kingdoms are a threat to us, but did our kingdom attack the neighbouring kingdoms with our army because of that reason?”
Liao Feng shook his head, “Our kingdom didn’t attack other our neighbouring kingdoms.”
Su Yuchen asked, “If we are not attacking neighbouring kingdoms why are we still maintaining an army? Why is our kingdom recruiting millions of soldiers?”
Liao Feng answered after thinking for a bit, “We are having an army so that they can protect our kingdom when other kingdoms attack us.”
Su Yuchen said, “See, an army is still needed for our kingdom when other kingdoms attack us. We can retaliate against the enemy armies with our army.”
“Didn’t we heard that the Star Falcon Sect also maintain a large protection barrier?”
Liao Feng immediately said, “Yes, Zhao Feng said that there is a big barrier covering the Star Falcon Sect. Zhao Feng said that the barrier even stopped a big powerful man from their enemy sect from infiltrating into their sect when many of their elders are away.”
Su Yuchen nodded, “Now, Star Falcon sect has its own defences. It also seems to be strong.”
“I don’t know the cause of the war between both sects, but Star Falcon Sect won in the end and their enemy sect disbanded.”
“You do know what disbandment means right?”
Liao Feng answered, “People from that sect stopped being members of the same gang. They are no longer together.”
Su Yuchen asked, “This enemy sect is not made up of evildoers, it is not called an evil sect, right?”
Liao Feng answered, “Yes. That sect is not an evil sect.”

Su Yuchen asked, “In your family who makes decisions? Who orders everyone?”
Liao Feng answered, “My grandfather.”
Su Yuchen asked, “Who makes decisions in a sect?”
Liao Feng answered, “Sect Elders and Sect leader.”
Su Yuchen asked, “Who is wrong for taking bad decisions in your family and in a sect?”
Liao Feng answered, “My grandfather in my family and the sect leader and elders in a sect.”
Su Yuchen said, “Now the war between sects is caused by the mentally retarded elders and sect leader.”
Liao Feng laughed and nodded.
Su Yuchen asked, “They attacked and took their sect to attack the Star Falcon Sect. The Sect Elders were retaliated by the Star Falcon Sect and died in their hands. The enemy sect is also disbanded.”
“The perpetrators died and institution collapsed. Is everything settled, Liao Feng?”
Liao Feng shook his head, “The members of the sect are still alive. They can hide and kill the Star Falcon Sect disciples in sneak attacks.”
Su Yuchen asked, “The enemy sect is disbanded. The goals and the interest on which the enemy sect is established is also destroyed when the sect took unreasonable actions. With that the disbanded cultivators don’t need to gather again. Many do not gather, they look for other sects that satisfy their interests to join.”
“These guys are not a threat to the Star Falcon Sect any more.”
“Only a small group will gather and plan unreasonable actions. These are real threats to the Star Falcon Sect.”
“If there is a threat what do you need to do?”
Liao Feng frowned, “You need to strengthen your defence and show your offensive power.”
Su Yuchen nodded, “That’s right, the Star Falcon Sect needs to strengthen its defences.”
Liao Feng was not convinced, “That small group wants revenge on the Star Falcon Sect. They will for sure take unreasonable actions on the Star Falcon Sect. When they know that an attack is inevitable should the Star Falcon Sect stay silent and let them attack? Shouldn’t they attack?”
Su Yuchen stared into Liao Feng’s eyes and asked, “Does the Star Falcon Sect know each individual member of their disbanded enemy sect and their choice after the war? If the Star Falcon Sect doesn’t know which individual is going to attack them to take revenge, does it qualify them to kill everyone of the disbanded members?”
“If they don’t know the choice of one person, can they kill everyone?”
“Many cultivators who will survive are just minor members in the sect without any decision making power. Should they suffer because of the decisions made by some people with mental illness?”
Liao Feng thought for a moment and answered, “They should be kept in prison. They are part of the enemy sect that attacked the Star Falcon Sect. As part of the sect that tried to destroy others they should also need to suffer punishment until their minds become sane and stop for revenge.”
Su Yuchen became silent and thought about Liao Feng’s answer. After some time, he patted Liao Feng’s shoulder and appreciated him, “Well said. That is a great choice for the Star Falcon Sect to take. As a part of your family, you will also suffer because of the bad choices your grandfather made. As a part of the sect, you will also suffer the punishment for the bad decisions your sect took.”
“A war is already an unreasonable conflict. It will lead to a large scale destruction. It will also destroy the sane minds of the people that are in the midst of the conflict.”
“The losers sane mind will be hit harder than the winners.”
“They need to be put under more surveillance to avoid them taking any insane actions.”
Su Yuchen continued, “Now listen to me. Do we have any experience regarding all the things we spoke about till now like killing?”
Liao Feng replied, “No.”
Su Yuchen asked, “We can think of this choice, shouldn’t the Star Falcon Sect be able to make similar choice? Or even better choices considering their experiences?”
Liao Feng nodded, “Yes, they should have come up with better answers regarding the disbanded members of their enemy sect.”
Su Yuchen asked, “What action did the Star Falcon Sect decided on regarding the disbanded members of their enemy sect?”
Liao Feng replied, “They hunted them down and killed them.”
Su Yuchen asked, “Do they need to be killed for the survival of Star Falcon Sect?”
Liao Feng answered, “They don’t need to be killed for the survival of the Star Falcon Sect.”
Su Yuchen asked, “Does killing the disbanded members of their enemy sect mean the Star Falcon Sect behaving unreasonably?”
Liao Feng answered, “Yes.”
Su Yuchen asked, “Who takes unreasonable and violent actions?”
Liao Feng answered, “A person with insane mind. A mentally ill person.”
Su Yuchen asked, “If such a person kills hundreds of people then what does he become?”
Liao Feng answered, “An evildoer.”
Su Yuchen asked, “Did the Star Falcon Sect kill hundreds of people with its unreasonable behaviour?”
Liao Feng nodded, “Yes.”
Su Yuchen asked, “Is the behaviour of killing hundreds of people similar to Evil Sects?”
Liao Feng hurriedly nodded, “Yes. That is an evil behaviour.”
Su Yuchen asked, “Star Falcon Sect calls itself as a righteous sect. Now that it took actions similar to an evil sect, are you still going to support its actions? Are you still going to kill everyone like them?”
Liao Feng shook his head, “I will not support them. I won’t kill everyone like the Star Falcon Sect.”
Liao Feng clenched his fists and shook them in an up and down motion, “I am wrong, Brother Yuchen. I should not be supporting the Star Falcon Sect.”
Su Yuchen felt some relief listening to Liao Feng, “I want to ask something important. Do you think killing is a good action to choose?”
Liao Feng sat straight and answered righteously with a childish tone, “Killing others is wrong, it destroys my mind. I should only kill when for my survival and when the attacker does not back down from killing me.”
Su Yuchen nodded with relief listening to the words of Liao Feng. Although he felt weird and sad listening to the nine year old Liao Feng saying them, he was satisfied that Liao Feng might at least not become a mindless killer. He decided to instil his ideas in Liao Feng’s mind from then on.
