Yeah, I don't think he ever had the option of doing anything about any ideas that didn't benefit the chief in some way.

Which is why I was unsure about calling it ambition. It might just have been self-preservation...

Yeah, completely agreed! I was mostly just thinking about what might be behind their willingness to accept him as the new chief.

Oh, right. Good point!

I think he's realising multiple things at the same time: Shen Wei's supposedly-dead brother is alive, and is the rebel leader. The rebel leader is Ye Zun. Ye Zun is Shen Wei's brother! - Up until then, I assume he thought of them as three separate people.

*nodnod* Agreed -- it's a lot to convey with two words. ;-)
