Chapter 1258: Easily Resolving Disputes (IV)
Those irritated by Lin Hongyu’s sudden elevation in status found her idea to be very sound. The people who’d fallen in battle were their friends. It was quite saddening that they were gone without any recognition or anyone knowing their names.
Having a shrine set up so that the people could learn about and remember them would be a kind of worthy death!
“Then... can we be enshrined too if we die in battle?” asked Sky Sword. That question made many eyes shoot wide.
Didn’t Silver Moon martial masters fight to leave their name behind when they died? If they could enjoy the worship of descendants to come and be known throughout the land in death, that would have been a life worth living!
They suddenly felt that the woman in front of them knew them all too well. Although Li Hao had once spoken of having their names be known through the ages, he’d yet to embark on that endeavor. It was the source of regret for many, but no one dared speak openly of it.
They were afraid that the young man would fly into a rage because he firmly believed that Yuan Shuo and the rest were still alive. Now that this newly promoted marquise was proposing the idea... it was hard for them not to support her.
If Li Hao was unhappy with this turn of events, he could take it up with his wife!
The tense atmosphere abruptly relaxed and even Director General Zhao said, “This is a great idea, I support it wholeheartedly! Twenty days is enough! It will not take that long if we set supernaturals to the task.
“The shrines don’t need to be opulent either, that is not in-line with our style. They can be simple and dignified. If we are able to etch our names in them when we depart from this life, then we will have left our mark on this world!”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Lin Hongyu had abruptly won everyone’s approval and acknowledgement. They accepted her as the marquise just from this point alone! Whatever, so be it.
Li Hao had to take a wife sooner or later, anyways. As opposed to going for someone they were completely unfamiliar with or lacked any ability whatsoever and only knew how to randomly interfere, this was better.
While Lin Hongyu possessed strong ambitions, at least she had the ability to back them up.
