Shen Yue never considered himself a saint, but he always acted with utmost sincerity, guided by his own nature.
"Sincerity" means achieving through words, where words and actions align, only then can sincerity arise.
If words do not match actions, where does true sincerity come from?
This is an extremely straightforward and apparent truth, yet regrettably, people scarcely know or act upon it...
"When I first met Shui Qingmeng and Qinsi, they similarly quickly chose to trust me."
Shen Yue spoke softly but firmly, "Fire grows from wood, disaster inevitably comes; trust grows from actions, firm resolve surely achieves."
Shen Yue spoke calmly, while the Female Cultivator regarded him coldly, but the corners of her eyes twitched involuntarily.
—Fire grows from wood, disaster inevitably comes; cunning arises in nations, when the times shake, collapse is certain. Knowing this and cultivating it is what makes a sage.
