Lord Rou said, "Such is the way of the heavens."
"Way of the heavens? Who says so?" Fan Wubing almost instinctively felt disgusted at such matters, "The suffering of the predecessors is to be borne by the descendants, with no choice whatsoever! What kind of nonsense is this so-called way of the heavens?"
Lord Rou said, "This is the meaning of Rou City. The value of the people in the city lies in passing down the disease. I have treated them well enough; at least they live happily, without worries, their needs met, and simply by praying, they receive gifts, without feeling the torment of the illness."
"Meaning?" Fan Wubing sneered, "The meaning is that from birth, they are burdened with this nonsensical mission? Since someone must suffer the torment of illness, why not those in the Li Palace of the Celestial Balance Upper City? Why not the Emperor!"
