Li Tianding, the name given by Li Guo'an, already revealed its intended meaning—he hoped his son would stand tall and proud against the sky.
Throughout his journey, Li Tianding had endured countless hardships and shed many tears, unknown to anyone. As a son, a father, and a leader commanding thousands of soldiers, a minor error in his decision could cost countless innocent soldiers their lives. Therefore, the world in his heart, the realm he contemplated, was his alone to painstakingly strategize.
Li Tianding did not care how others viewed him, but he did care about how his son saw him; along his journey, what troubled him most was the guilt towards his two sons.
However, his stubborn nature and ruthless experiences had taught him that a man must never show weakness in front of anyone; such actions could lead to disrespect. Feeling his own pain and tasting his own suffering, that was Li Tianding.
