"I just saved you from Chen Qiang and that amounts to a favor. Why do you want to kill me?" Ye Haochuan asked, annoyed.
"I didn't ask you to save me!" Liu Sheng replied emotionlessly.
"Did you ask Duanmu Xiang to avenge you then?"
"This..." Liu Sheng paused, then said, "No!"
"He took it upon himself, and unintentionally avenged you, yet you are loyal to him. As for me, though I acted on my behalf too, I did so intentionally to save you. Why then do you want to kill me?"
Ye Haochuan realized that he had a knack for convoluted reasoning and couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up internally.
Liu Sheng was completely stunned upon hearing this.
He hadn't thought about this question, merely feeling that since Duanmu Xiang had avenged him, he should return the favor. Ye Haochuan killed Duanmu Xiang, hence he should be killed.
It's not that he was foolish, but rather that he had no other aspirations, so he clung to this idea as his own pursuit and adhered to it.
