Senior Brother Tianjianzi, however, insisted, "Junior Brother, why bother with such trivialities? Reaching the central area quickly to collect spirit herbs for the Sect is what truly matters. Since there’s room for someone to stand on your back, why not endure a little for the sake of the Sect's interests?"
It seemed this Senior Brother Tianjianzi was not as magnanimous as the rumors suggested. His loyalty to the Jian Sect was genuine, but he truly lacked the capacity to tolerate others. Trying to use moral coercion against a devious person like me? I would show him what it meant to walk into one’s own trap and reap the consequences.
I replied directly, "Senior Brother, I am a man who can accept others being more talented or powerful than me, but I will not permit anyone to ride on my back and oppress me—intentional or otherwise. And I certainly won't compromise myself for the sake of the 'Sect’s interests.' I am simply incapable of being as selfless and devoted to the Sect as you, Senior Brother. So, I must ask you to bear a little inconvenience—take a rope and tie yourself up. I’m about to drag you in, Senior Brother; I trust you won’t mind, will you?"
