Chapter 61 Conflicts And Illusions

• "You've left me deeply disappointed. How could you make us look bad? I thought you'd follow in Shun's steps, but you're becoming more like Jin every time. Your conduct offended me, and I hope you analyze your actions, Yun," Heng snapped as he paced back and forth.
• "Well, father, maybe I don't want to be like Shun at all. Perhaps you should let me decide who I want to be for once," Yun gritted his teeth with impotence and frustration. He longed to assert his right to happiness, to resemble whoever he pleased, and not have to be accountable for his actions all the time.
