Yang Xinyan saw the hesitation in Chuge's expression and thought his persuasion had taken effect. He quickly struck while the iron was hot, "Xianjun, listen to me. You must never bring up the matter of setting fire to the theater with anyone else. Speaking one more word about it could very well bring about a lethal disaster!
"In this small county town, who knows if there are people secretly involved with the bandits? By then, both you and I could end up with nowhere to bury our bodies!
"We perform on stage, and to speak from the perspective of the greater good, it is for the sake of the people of the entire town. Once the bandits are gone, even if we have to bear infamy, it won't matter. Let's just keep ourselves alive first!"
Chuge shook his head and cleared his mind of all distractions.
Was he about to be swayed by an NPC in the game?
I am still a scholar, with the innate talent of overwhelming righteousness!
