Arthur nodded in understanding. He said, "Nothing is truly free. The greater the benefit, the greater the cost."
Jason laughed again. He shook his head and said, "I thought you were crazy. Who would have thought that you were also smart?"
Arthur shook his head. "I'm not crazy."
His reply made Jason laugh harder. He winked at Arthur and said, "Sure, you're not. I believe you."
Jason continued, "Anyway, you're right. The greater the benefit, the greater the cost. In this case, the better the sect, the higher the competition and the greater the danger."
"At home here, I don't have to encounter any danger to my life for whatever resources I get. I just need to work hard. But in the sect, there are people everywhere trying to kill me or at least beat me up."
"I say this to you as someone who has a good chance of entering a sect after the next regional sect examination. If you're not up for the danger and challenge, then don't bother. Stay here in the family and be a local champion."
