"Of course it isn't pretense."
Shang Wenyin's voice was gentle, "Your unease, your guilt, all stem from you being a truly good person."
Lin Chen's eyes widened, and he waved his hands in a panic, "Don't give me a 'good person' badge, I'm no saint; I've destroyed my fair share of sects."
Shang Wenyin was amused by Lin Chen's reaction, "They wanted to harm you, so you wiped them out without remorse. But these people haven't harmed you, so you feel uneasy, right?"
Lin Chen touched his nose, Shang Wenyin had hit the nail on the head.
Shang Wenyin blinked, "But it wasn't you who killed them, right? We were forced into the team and had to ensure our own safety."
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, and the slight oppression he felt in his heart suddenly cleared away.
Yes, regardless of whether they were innocent or not, it wasn't himself who killed them. Why should he feel guilty?
