Chapter 818 Eloquence

• After being brought back home, his mother both cried and scolded him, berating him for his lack of understanding and filial piety.
• He didn't want to be seen as a disobedient son. The thought of being perceived as such terrified him. He feared the scorn and contempt of others and the possibility of being ostracized from society.
• Like all normal people, he yearned for the approval, agreement, and even admiration of others.
