Lowly people have light words, this ancient saying means that what is said by someone of low status carries no weight and will not be taken seriously.
But it also serves as a reminder to those in power not to argue with the common folk over their words.
Because they receive little education and have even less, often their words come from instinct rather than thought.
Such words have nothing worth valuing, naturally, there is nothing to argue about either.
Thus, throughout history, the harshest criticism of those in power comes from these short-sighted commoners, like now in Xiling, those well-dressed and extraordinary-looking family disciples turned pale at hearing such criticisms of the new king.
Perhaps for these ordinary martial artists, the Heaven-Ascending Cloud Steps are an impossible trial, but for those disciples with connections, things are entirely different.
Once they master the Escape Technique, wouldn't these Cloud Steps be as easy to tread as flat ground?
