"It's the Baiyue Assassin Group..."
The still-young Sage of Strategy, Zhang Liang, stood to the side, rubbing his forehead with a sigh.
Young people at this stage were always simple.
And pure.
If they said they loved their country, then they loved their country.
For the sake of that patriotism, they could even abandon their family.
Of course, this abandoning one's family was different from that weasel in the Fire Shadow anime.
Here, abandoning one's family meant that when one's ideals clashed with the family's interests, Zhang Liang would dare to cast himself out of the family, strike his name from the family register, and assist Han Fei as a free man in creating a world and empire that matched his ideals. Though such a choice would still earn him condemnation, countless people in this era would step forward to accuse Zhang Liang of madness, of betraying his ancestors and forgetting his roots, of being unfilial. Still, compared to the weasel's extreme approach, Zhang Liang's choice was relatively rational.
Besides, youth was capital.
Or rather, the world was always more tolerant of the young.
Young eagles had to spread their wings and soar.
It was simply that the ways they flew differed greatly.
What Zhang Liang did could easily be dressed up as going out into the world to gain experience.
Never mind whether that experience carried a hint of rebellion.
In short, as long as the Zhang Family acknowledged it as such,
then Zhang Liang's actions would be considered gaining experience.
Whether he was truly gaining experience or not was not important.
However, all that was merely hypothetical. The current Zhang Liang only possessed that resolve. The situation had not yet deteriorated to the point where he had to sever ties with his family in such an extreme manner
