He pondered for a moment before posing a question that struck at the heart of the matter: "But An Jing, you are already stepping on their heads. And yet, no one thinks you’re just some hick. You are too strong. They aren't going to feel any righteous indignation at losing to you."
"That is exactly what I find most troublesome."
