Celestial Overlord - Chapter 83 Good or Bad

“Father! Even if I were to judge the evil people, doesn’t that makes me a bad person?” Tian Lee said looking at his father, Who was staring vacantly as he was thinking something? They both were walking down the busy imperial street.

It was one of the few days when his father took him out. Hearing Tian Lee voice, Tan Lee snapped out of his thought. “Huh! Tian’er? What was it again?”. Tan Lee asked looking at Tian Lee. It was the day where he spent the time with his son. To think he was daydreaming, he felt bad looking at the little guy.

Tian Lee was wearing his favorite blue robe, while his childish face had a look of disappointment. He was only five years old.Looking at his son’s face, Tan Lee sighed. ” I am sorry! Tian’er, father was just thinking about something”. Hearing this Tian Lee shook his head as he said: ” It’s alright, Father!”.

“Are you afraid, you will become bad by killing those evil people?” Tan Lee spoke. Tian Lee nodded in reply. Just as they were walking, his father halted, as he stared at an old man, who was begging on the streets. Tian Lee also saw the Old man who was kneeling as he begged.

The Old man clothes were tattered and his head was lowered, while his hands were extended as he begged. His body looked like a stick, as if he can be broken. The people passed by him, without even giving him a glance. The time passed and a young lady halted near him, as she offered him food. She went on her way after that.

After some time, a middle-aged man stooped near the beggar, he gave away some money. Then he went on his way. And lastly a person who looked like a rogue cultivator came by and he verbally abused the Old man for begging in the street.

Looking at that Tan Lee spoke.”Now say! Tian’er! Who is the bad and good in those three!”. Hearing this question, Tian Lee immediately answered: “The first two are good and the third man was bad, father!”.

But only to see his father smiling. “I would say neither the three were good or bad!”. His father’s answer confused him. Looking at Tian Lee puzzled face Tan Lee explained.

” The first First Lady gave him food, which can be considered as a kind act; The second man gave money which can also be considered as an act of kindness, And the third one just abused the old man for begging”

Tan Lee paused, “I won’t say those three are good or bad, because they would eventually forget this old beggar, and start their normal lives. While that Old man might die after a few days. The one who is bad, is the person who made him a beggar, and you will grow up to judge those ones, who think they are unshakeable under the heavens and who make these poor souls suffer”.

“Always remember, if there is a problem always search for the source of it! If you were to cut down the branches of a tree, it will grow back; but if you were to break it’s root, the tree will die, the problem here are the ones in power, if they were not greedy, people like this old man won’t suffer”.

” And if your action can make those innocent lives better! Then that makes you good not bad” he finished as he looked at Tian Lee with a smile.

Hearing this Tian Lee nodded as he spoke: “I understand father”

Tian Lee opened his eyes, ” Dream huh!” he thought. Last night he was on the hunt. Hunt for the evil ones, who tortured the innocent. Whose greed for power made them do such evil deeds. “It’s like father said: greed leads to every evil things”. Just as he was thinking, he heard two voices coming outside of his room.

” Big Brother!”

“Young master!”

Hearing it Tian Lee was stunned. It was those two again. He did not know why, but Yoshi and Mo Lee never went along.

Before he could answer anything. Mo Lee stormed in. Her eyes were sparkling with fighting spirit. Yoshi followed her, her eyes looked as if she was seeing her arch enemy, as she saw Mo Lee.

“Big Brother! I need a explanation!” Mo Lee said as she stared at Tian Lee with her eyes full of flame.
