The young man spoke with great excitement, his eyes bright, but Li Yinxiang, who had always been interested in these stories, found them somewhat dull and uninteresting this time, even looking down on the heroes from a spectator's perspective.
In the past, she loved stories of heroes winning and young girls returning favors, always applauding them with admiration.
Strictly educated at home, this was the first time she had been able to hear such elusive stories and was so excited the first time she heard them that she couldn't sleep. But now, she felt completely different, her palm rubbing the Jade Plaque, thoughts wandering far away.
The young man was just speaking of a young hero reluctantly accepting a wealthy merchant's fortune after many refusals, but Li Yinxiang suddenly thought, how is such a hero any different from someone who takes money to do a job?
Heroes should 'leave when it's done, hiding their body and name'...
