Pei Xuanjing laughed and shook his head, "I just don't want to see what some ambitious ones are up to."
If the current Great Ming dynasty is a decaying empire, having reached a point where the people are living in dire straits, where they're starving and resorting to exchanging their children for food.
If a hero rises up, overthrowing the decadent empire and fighting for the survival of the common people, Pei Xuanjing would certainly not stand in their way. He might even lend a hand.
Even if countless lives would be sacrificed in the process, it could be considered worthwhile.
Better to be a peaceful dog than a chaotic human.
Pei Xuanjing cannot allow his personal disdain to lead him to take action on matters, especially those concerning the lives of countless people.
