"Tell me, why did you let yourself be caught on purpose? What are you trying to do?" As he rode on the galloping Flame Foal, Gu Shenwei asked Han Fen this without looking back at her.
Han Fen, who was sitting behind him and humming a strange tune, took awhile before puzzledly answering with a question. "Is the Dragon King talking to me?"
"Mmm."
"Hee hee, I just wanted to experience the uniqueness of the little girl that you chose over the Master Commander."
"What else?"
"And… I wanted to kill her to please the Master Commander."
"But you didn't do that."
"How could I have made a move when you're always keeping an eye on me and giving me a cold feeling in my back? Also… she's cute. I'm a bit reluctant to sully that image." It was precisely this occasional 'reluctance,' that had almost eliminated her from the Waning Moon Hall.
