"No!" Hong Lian's heartbeat quickened and her eyes grew more merciless, "Why would I ever hold you in my heart? I, Hong Lian, once served the strongest Silver Moon Pavilion Master, a woman of the highest stature. The only one worthy of me is Chu Yihan! What are you? What makes you think you have the right to like me?"
"So what if I like you!"
Mo Qi roared with all his might, "You call me a dog, but how are you any different from me? Aren't we both just people who serve our masters, risking our lives for them? The only difference is that your master never taught you, but my master did teach me. We are subordinates, bearers of their trust and power, honorable masters in our own right, not dogs!"
Hong Lian's heart trembled violently, crushed by Mo Qi's reprimand.
I am a dog... she had always felt that way, yet a sense of pride welled up within her. Even if she was a dog, she was a fearsome one, the dog of the Silver Moon Pavilion Master!
