"Then, why didn't you go back to the second branch? Why did you choose to become a street performer?" Yao Ling asked out of curiosity. No matter how she looked at it, this was a bad choice.
At least, it would be better than her current situation... wandering all around the world with a performer trope while selling her body just like that. No matter what, she was still the daughter of an official and she had a choice to get herself out of the treason crime.
She could just start a new life and live a simple life as a commoner. Why was she so hard on herself?!
"I... I heard from my adopted father's personal servant that they could be saved if I could find the man in the painting..." She said softly while her gaze was wandering away, seemingly remembered something from the past. That servant's words...
She didn't doubt it because he was the one that her adopted father had really trusted.
