"The reason these people come knocking on our door to fight and kill is ultimately due to ignorance. Yan Yan, you must understand that simply killing people is not a solution. Even if you did manage to kill them all, in the end, you would only earn yourself the reputation of a mass murderer."
"To truly keep people at bay, we must first instill fear in them, so that they dread you from the bottom of their hearts. Then, you subdue them, making them utterly devoted to you, willing to go through fire and water for you... I'm telling you this because you have a long future ahead of you, and eventually you'll have to walk that road by yourself. You need to learn these principles of dealing with others first. Isn't it true that one can never have too many skills?"
"But remember one thing. You must have the ability to do this yourself. Otherwise, you're just showing off a fool's bravery. Understand?"
Qin Yanyan listened attentively, nodding incessantly.
