"So, you also think your father is a bastard?" Wu Tian glanced at Dugu Zheng, his tone playful.
"Yes... he's a bastard," Dugu Zheng said, lowering his head. In order to survive, he had no choice but to agree with whatever Wu Tian said. Maybe if I do this, he'll let me go!
As for dignity? He rationalized it away. Throughout history, haven't all who accomplished great things endured countless hardships? Emperor Gaozu of Han faced the humiliation of seeking peace at Baideng, and Emperor Gaozu of Tang suffered the disgrace of submitting to the Tujue. If they had all just taken a sword to their own necks, seeking death like some narrow-minded fool, how could they ever have founded their nations? They would have been worse than even Goujian or Han Xin. Truly the height of ignorance.
He recalled this as a line from a novel, where Murong Bo comforts Murong Fu. To Dugu Zheng, it sounded absolutely right.
