The outcome for traitors is almost never good.
But there are always those who choose betrayal.
Most of them are well aware of the consequences.
Yet human nature is inherently complex.
Lin Qianxuan and Ling'Er saw the end of this traitor with their own eyes, saw him being shot dead by Chu Fan.
Chu Fan did not torture him, and even forgave him.
In that moment, what Chu Fan regretted wasn't the betrayal itself.
Rather, he regretted not preparing his friends psychologically earlier on, not instilling a solid worldview, leading to taking steps that were too big, resulting in such an incident.
Since it had already happened, there was no use in feeling remorseful.
Instead, he needed to summarize the experience and find ways to prevent similar events from happening again.
From a certain perspective, he'd already found a path to success.
With one glance, Lin Qianxuan could already see his figure seated on the throne of the Imperial Palace in the Great Li Country two years later.
