Chapter 169: Escalating Intensity

Nie Guangyi was now making a decision that, if it were someone else, they would definitely be advised against it.

Under the premise of unfavorable public opinion, he was behaving recklessly without regard for others.

No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like a good choice.

The reputation of a person requires many years to establish,

and an even longer lifetime to maintain.

Yet to destroy it, often only a simple matter is needed.

From the perspective of maintaining reputation, it is least friendly to the gifted.

Early fame means a longer time to maintain it.

One's whole life as if on thin ice.

The public prefers to witness the fall of a genius, rather than their rise.

In this context, Nie Guangyi still decided to let things take their own course, regardless.

One cannot say it isn't wilful, nor can one say it isn't an indication of inner strength.

Nie Guangyi decided to face it head-on, and Xuan Shi's choice was to buy more time for his brother.
