Faced with Su Mo's temptation, Ling Zichen was somewhat tempted.
Though she was nominally Tang Sect's chief scientist, she was not a die-hard loyalist of Tang Sect.
If Tang Sect had not extended an olive branch and said they could support her research into the "Single-Unit Positive Cycle Array," she would never even have joined Tang Sect.
