Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 500 (Five Hundred) Tradition
After hearing this, Tie Hongyan slowly raised her head and looked at Le Yu, feeling very comfortable. She really liked Le Yu. Perhaps it was because she had such a good impression of Le Yu that she couldn't bear to be a sister with her. She couldn't be sure what the person who became a sister with her would be like in the future. If someone else wanted to get closer to her before the competition was over, she might wonder if that person had other purposes, but Le Yu would not let her think that way.

Tie Hongyan didn't say yes or no, he just said: "I admire you as a person, too."

Le Yu was very happy to hear this, but still didn't know whether she agreed or not, so she said, "Young Patriarch, when you say this, do you mean you agree or disagree?"

"I'm going to ask you a question and you answer it truthfully, okay?" Tie Hongyan said.

"Okay."

"Are you dissatisfied with me killing the man in blue armor?" Tie Hongyan asked seriously.

Le Yu didn't expect that she would ask this question. Because Lian Boyuan had warned her, she didn't want to say what she really thought. But she knew that she had just accidentally said, "I told my grandfather before that I think it's unreasonable for the Tiecang people to oppress the Lanjia people." If she quickly changed her words, Tie Hongyan would think that she was not honest with her. So she said, "I... I'm not targeting you. I just don't understand why the Tiecang people treat the Lanjia people like that."

Tie Hongyan asked tentatively: "If I tell you that this is a tradition, what do you think of this answer?"

"Then I have to say more. Excuse me for being blunt. It is undeniable that there are traditions in the world that are beneficial to human development. But I really don't see what's good about the tradition of the Tiecang people treating the Lanjia people so... so... well. Besides, traditions are the practices of our predecessors. Why should later generations copy their practices? Putting aside some traditions that have never been necessary, let's talk about some traditions that were once beneficial to people in previous eras. With the development of the times, those traditions that were suitable for the time were no longer suitable for the times. Why should later generations cling to them? If you can't find any other reason to do something, then use tradition as an excuse to do it. In fact, it's still useless. There is no reason. If the only reason for doing something is tradition, it has been proved that the thing is unreasonable, and tradition itself is not enough to constitute a reason. The traditions left by the predecessors should never become a prison that restricts the multiple choices of future generations, and future generations should not regard the traditions left by the predecessors as unquestionable authoritative guides to obey them blindly. In my opinion, many times, the reason why tradition is still there is for people to break it. "Before Le Yu returned to Tiecangting, she had seen people using inappropriate traditions to restrain others many times, and she felt extremely disgusted. Her words at this time were also a vomiting of things that had accumulated in her heart for a long time. Some of the words that Lian Boyuan said to her a few days ago also made her feel bound. At this time, she couldn't help but utter these words, which made her feel much better.

Tie Hongyan opened his eyes wide and looked at Le Yu seriously. After Le Yu had finished speaking, Tie Hongyan seemed to be waiting for her to continue.

Le Yu suddenly felt that he had been a little too outspoken in expressing his views on those who cling to tradition by using Tie Hongyan's words, and immediately added: "Young Patriarch, let me emphasize again that I am not targeting you! You...you won't..."
