Tong Zheng'an waved his hand to interrupt: "Don't bring this up again. The battle for the throne has always been the same throughout history. When I insisted on leaving back then, you already knew my intentions. I promised father to take care of you. Now, I cannot stop you, but I must ensure the Tong Mansion has a legacy in the future!"
His words were quite heavy, implying that the Second Master was gambling, and the risk was significant. He was merely leaving a way out; he couldn't let the entire Tong Mansion suffer in case of a downfall.
