Bab 195: Oath of Loyalty

"How?"

"You want to ask how do I know, right?" Ye Jiao smiled. Her eyes flashed momentarily with sadness and grief. "It's because I have seen the same gaze on myself over and over again in the past."

Ah.

Wei Liao recalled how they used to treat Ye Jiao in the past. It wouldn't be weird for the girl to start bearing hatred to them because of their action. This kind of gaze, filled with concealed hatred was nothing new to her. It was extremely common for her to see this kind of gaze. 

"I see."

"Why do you hate her?"

"Because she uses me," Wei Liao replied right away. "Maybe it's just my foolishness to follow after her order like a servant, but I just want to have someone to rely on. With my low talent and low birth, I know that I didn't have much worth. I can only survive by latching onto someone powerful."
