But such devotion was not absolute. After becoming official nuns, some remained entirely in a state of pretense. They simply took pride in their profession.
Just as some people became soldiers not to serve their country, but because they took pride in being soldiers and wanted the corresponding social status and benefits. That did not make them bad, though, because most nuns could fulfill their duties for their entire lives. Dangerous people like heretics rarely emerged from among the nuns.
"Mm, there probably won't be anything particularly important for the time being."
What Ye Qian truly cared about now was not Ye Kong's side, but Ye Qian's side.
