Jiang Hao listened to Master Hao Yue’s words and was surprised.

“So, is this how the Bright Moon Sect teaches its disciples?” He was very curious.

The Heavenly Note Sect never taught anyone like this. Even their most talented disciples had never received such teachings.

“It’s not suitable for everyone, but those who are suitable are usually extraordinary,” said Hong Yuye calmly.

“Is this the test?” Jiang Hao still couldn’t see what the test actually was. “Her inner conflict should be erging soon,” Hong Yuye said.

The scene changed back to the small attic.

“This is for you.” Master Hao Yue tossed a storage treasure to Chu Jie. “There are a hundred thousand spirit stones here.”

“A hundred thousand spirit stones?!” Chu Jie exclaid. “Isn’t that a lot?”

“Not much. Just enough to buy so tea leaves,” Master Hao Yue said. “If it’s not enough, co and ask for more.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

“Okay,” Chu Jie said joyfully.

She placed half of the spirit stones in another storage treasure. ‘What are you doing?” Master Hao Yue asked curiously.

“Nothing.” Chu Jie imdiately put it away.

The scene shook and returned to the small attic.

This ti, Master Hao Yue looked serious.

“It seems that the situation has exceeded my expectations. What I showed you before was not enough: now I need to show vou sothing else.”

At this mont, Chu Jie was a graceful young woman.

There was no trace of her previous self.

It was as if she had completely transford into a different person. She was puzzled. ‘What do you want to show this ti, Master?”

“Good and evil,” Master Hao Yue said solemnly. “This ti it might confuse you. If you get it right, we will decide whether you can truly pursue the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishnt. If you get it wrong, whether you like it or not, you will have to give up on the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishnt. No matter how talented you are, it’ll not be enough. The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishnt cannot be achieved with talent alone.” “What is it?” Chu Jie asked in confusion.

“Do you rember when I showed you the suffering of the world before?” Master Hao Yue asked.

Chu Jie nodded. “I do.”

“That was to broaden your horizons and lay the foundation for your state of mind. Your future success depends not on your talent for cultivation but on this.” Master Hao Yue pointed to his heart.

“You can think of it as your state of mind and willpower. The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishnt also requires these qualities. If you doubt yourself, you will fail instantly. Life will end, and the path will disappear. So, this ti, you need to find the answer to good and evil. If you can’t find it, focus on your cultivation and stop thinking about the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishnt. If you find it, you need to think carefully. I will support you whether you choose to give up or persevere.”

Chu Jie nodded, but she didn’t quite understand why she needed to find the answer to good and evil. Wasn’t it straightforward?

Jiang Hao was also curious about the answer. He saw things without a definitive concept of good and evil. If soone treated him well, they were good. If they treated him poorly, they were evil. However, he never hard ordinary people just for the sake of it.

The scene shifted, and Jiang Hao saw a person breaking into a house in the city to steal sothing.

“Is this act good or evil?” Master Hao Yue asked.

“It seems wrong, so it’s evil…” Chu Jie hesitated. “Should we stop them?” Master Hao Yue asked.

“Of course.” Chu Jie nodded.

Master Hao Yue pointed at the scene, and soon, soone noticed the thief.

The thief was beaten half to death and sent to jail.

The scene shifted again.

In a city suffering from a severe epidemic, a middle-aged doctor opened his doors to help others.

“Is he good or evil?” Master Hao Yue asked.

“Definitely good,” Chu Jie said.

The scene shifted once more.

This ti, a group of bandits erged from the forest, killed the guards, and stole dicine and so silver.

“Are they good or evil?” Master Hao Yue asked again.

“Evil,” Chu Jie said.

‘Isn’t this quite simple?’ Chu Jie thought.

The scene changed once more.

This ti, a group of righteous individuals surrounded the bandits and killed them all. “What about this?”

“It should be… good?”

Chu Jie was unsure. She doubted whether the master would throw such simple questions at her.

“Alright. Let’s start over.” Master Hao Yue snapped his fingers, and instantly, they saw the entire city.

At this point, they saw a doctor who wasn’t respected. He carried the dicine and threw it into a well.

The next day, many people began to feel ill.

A few days later, a poor man with his dying daughter went to seek dical help everywhere, but no one dared to treat her upon hearing about the disease.

That night, as he watched his daughter on the brink of death, he decided to take a risk and steal the dicine that could cure the disease.

He went to a dicine hall, and he was caught stealing. He was beaten half to death and thrown into jail.

He never made it back to his daughter, who survived for three days but eventually died from hunger, not the illness.

On the sa day, the doctor who had poisoned the dicine in the dicine hall was highly regarded by everyone.

In the prison, the man heard that relief was being sent from the capital, but the local lord secretly diverted it.

After he was released, he looked at his daughter’s lifeless body with great sadness.

In the end, he gathered so people and took the relief that the local lord and his cronies intended to divert to another city and distributed it to the refugees.

However, the lord and his group quickly realized what was happening. They assud the man and his group of people were bandits, and they were killed.

After seeing all this, even Jiang Hao frowned.

Chu Jie was even more shaken.

The scene shifted once again.

It went back to the beginning and showed soone stealing.

“Now, is he good or evil? Should you warn the people inside that soone is stealing the dicine?” Master Hao Yue asked Chu Jie.

This ti, she remained silent.

“Let’s look at sothing else.” Master Hao Yue led Chu Jie to a farr’s ho.

They raised cattle and sheep.

Suddenly, a wolf rushed in, snatched a sheep, and was about to flee.

“Is this wolf good or evil?” “Evil?”

“Should it be killed?” “Shouldn’t it?”

“Then kill it.”

The wolf died.

The scene then showed a den of wolf pups. So of them were still nursing.

They were waiting for their mother to return.

However, the mother wolf did not return. Several wolf cubs starved to death.

“Tell . Was killing the wolf an act of goodness?” Master Hao Yue asked.

Chu Jie hesitated. “Then, don’t let it prey on the sheep.”

The wolf was isolated from the flock.

Because it couldn’t find food for a long ti, it eventually starved to death, and so of the wolf cubs died while others survived by eating the mother wolf’s flesh.

But they still couldn’t hunt any sheep and eventually starved to death.

“When you show kindness to the sheep, you show cruelty to the wolf. The sa goes for humans. When you show kindness to one person, it might an that soone else receives your cruelty,” Master Hao Yue said to the young girl beside him. “So, what is truly good? What is truly evil? Is what you do an act of good or evil?”

Chu Jie fell silent.

Jiang Hao sensed that this was the test.

Good and evil.

If Chu Jie couldn’t provide an answer that she felt confident in, she would fail the test. The Heavenly Dao Foundation establishnt would also fail. ‘But what is the answer to good and evil?’

In Jiang Hao’s view, it was all about perspective.. But was it enough for a person with great luck to just accept that?
