Promises are the most unreliable things in the world; you can't expect everyone to be an honest gentleman.
So you can just listen to promises, but if you take them too seriously, you'll inevitably be the one who gets hurt.
One must understand that a promise is nothing. After Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he issued the Scarlet-Iron Covenant claiming to grant immunity from death, but who did he spare? Ultimately, the right to interpret it lies with the one who makes the promise.
If Chen Jie truly believed Du Zundao's words, then he'd be a real fool.
You must know that Du Zundao's relationship with me now is one of enemies, not allies. Even if I really gave him the Qiankun Great Method, he wouldn't consider me as part of his circle.
But Liu Futong is different. They're currently in an absolute slump, and if I help them now, it's truly like offering coal in the snow.
That's a friendship forged through hardship, which is truly worth praising.
