"Master Daonu, I can't believe you're this kind of person—haven't you seen their miserable plight? Their children are barely clothed, and their clan leader lives in a place like this."

Lin Che's face was stern, and his tone was reprimanding: "This dangerous place is also within the territory of Da Gan. After all, they are also the people of Da Gan."

"But look at them, what have they gained? You live in the palace, high and mighty, so naturally you don't know the sufferings of the world. In your eyes, do you think that whether they live or die has nothing to do with you? Alas—"

Dao Nu was unable to resist for a moment. What does this have to do with her?

"Don't talk nonsense here. Your duty is to go on a diplomatic mission to Yanyun Country, not to waste time on the road. Even if they are the people of Dagan, what do they have to do with you?"

"Of course it has something to do with me. Your Majesty loves the people like his own children, so naturally I want to share your worries. Let me ask you, you are in the palace, do you know what is going on here? It is only because I seized this unique opportunity that I was able to come here as an ambassador."

"I can talk to them face to face. I want to help them, I want them to live a good life. I want them to live with dignity. Otherwise, why would I go through so much trouble to come here?"

"I just need to convince them and take them with me on the mission to Yanyun Kingdom. Even if I take just one of them, when I stand before the throne in the future, I can loudly say: The indigenous people of Chengzhao also contributed, and they also have merits."

"Master Dao Nu, I always thought your cold exterior was all a facade. You're actually kind and beautiful, always thinking of the people. But I never imagined you could be so cruel and ruthless..."

"I misjudged you. As a Shadow Guard, how could I have any sympathy? I, Lin Che, was wrong!!!"
