"So you chose to commit treason?"
This question is undeniably sharp.
The weight of the word 'treason' is immense, and in the era of absolute imperial power, it could cost one's entire family.
Nowadays, in an era where the whole nation is on a spy-hunt, the consequences of being caught wouldn't be much better.
Under such circumstances, anyone rational and sane would never admit to it.
However, Zhang Yin's situation is different. Due to Yi Chichi's subtle maneuvers and hints, her thoughts were unknowingly dragged into a swamp-like world.
Chaos, perhaps, as she has already lost her ability to think normally.
Therefore, upon hearing Yi Chichi's question, a fleeting look of confusion passed in her eyes, followed by a robotic revelation of her inner thoughts.
"No, no, no, I'm not committing treason, I'm just fighting for my faith and ideals."
Faith and ideals?
Yi Chichi looked into her eyes, "What are your faith and ideals?"
"To rise above others."
