What he said was not wrong. That was indeed how things were. During that period, Zhu Yeqing had seen that many of his friends were basically incapable of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
They were completely frivolous and irresponsible, achieving nothing in the end, little different from useless trash.
So now, he directly knelt before the other party and begged for mercy.
There was actually no need for that. Why? Because the current situation was no longer as good as before.
If disciples were accepted, it was impossible to say what sort of impact that would have behind the scenes.
The first thing it would certainly do was lower one's quality of life.
Second, it would change a person's mindset to the greatest extent possible.
Therefore, not accepting disciples might seem especially helpless on the surface, but in reality, it was extremely normal.
One could even say there was nothing wrong with it. Of course, situations like this happened all the time.
It was simply that Saint Lord Taichu had never spoken of them. But not speaking did not mean he was cowardly or anything of the sort.
On the contrary, it showed that he was more tolerant and enduring. Whenever he had something unpleasant on his mind, he generally kept it bottled up by himself.
Madmen like him were actually quite rare. How could anyone have the nerve to threaten Saint Lord Taichu like this?
Just seeing him act this way was enough to make people feel that he was utterly insane.
"There's no point in talking about this now. I'll just ask you one question. Answer it."
"From now on, can you raise your mentality up a little?"
"Stop spouting all this nonsense here, all right? No one has that much time to waste bickering with you!"
