Outside the county town, a rugged mountain path wound upwards, covered with a thin layer of white snow.

A seemingly weary nag exhaled clouds of white breath, pulling an old cart along the silent mountain road at a slow pace.

Bare branches along the way stretched in a vigorous manner, occasionally trembling gently with the cold wind and shedding their snow.

"Huh? What if you killed the wrong person?"

"If I'm wrong, I'm wrong," Shen Qing said softly with no psychological burden, "Sometimes, if you're not ruthless enough, you can't survive in this world. Don't overthink it."
