"Not taking action was the right choice. Killing a sovereign in public... Our Shen Family couldn't bear that stigma." Shen Wuxiang nodded in agreement and spoke out, "If you had truly done that, we would have lost the legitimacy to support Zhong Tianque's ascent to power."
"Justice, sometimes it's worthless. But at crucial moments, it's priceless."
"I failed to complete the task Grandpa assigned to me and am willing to accept punishment." Shen Xinglan knew that his grandfather was trying to comfort him.
If it had been any other subordinate who failed to complete their assigned task, they would probably have been severely reprimanded by now.
"You have the qualities of an ancient gentleman, which is both your strength and your flaw."
Shen Wuxiang did not continue on Shen Xinglan's topic, and as he looked at his grandson, he earnestly taught, "It's a strength after success, a flaw before."
