"Father?"
Hong Lie curiously looked at his father. He had always wanted to ask this question but hadn't found the courage. He didn't understand either—though those deputy generals were often disrespectful to him and his father, possibly because they were newfound aristocrats, they were undeniably loyal to the Imperial Family. How could a strange flash of Buddha Light change them entirely?
And his father as well—he was utterly convinced that those people had betrayed the royal court. But what exactly was the reason? He refused to explain it to Hong Lie.
