Suo Lun said, "When I was leaving, I suddenly realized why Mother wanted to perform a live sacrifice by committing suicide, so in a moment of heat, I came back to stop her, to save her."
Yan Mo said, "Even though you knew that coming back might mean death, and to a great extent, you couldn't stop Mother."
"Right," Suo Lun said.
"But, you still came back," Yan Mo asked.
"Right," Suo Lun nodded and said, "She was very good to me, I couldn't let down her love for me, so I did something foolish in a moment of heat."
The muscles on Yan Mo's face suddenly twitched violently, his gaze falling into agonized struggle.
What to do? What to do?
He began pacing the edge of the great hall, cursing loudly, drawing his sword to slash in rage, but still not knowing what decision to make.
He had no middle ground to tread, either to carry out the secret pact with the Hai Family of Yingzhou and kill Suo Lun.
