Soochin refused to believe that nothing had happened between the girl and the young man. The only explanation was that she was being threatened. Otherwise, why would she say such things?
Yes! That must be the case!
Having convinced herself, Soochin spoke again, "If you've been threatened, just blink. I'll help you! I'll take you under my wings. No one will ever touch you again!
"Blink now, and I'll make this man disappear forever. I'll take you in as my pupil! You'll be the only pupil I personally teach!"
A pupil she would personally teach!
The crowd cried out in surprise. It was such a shocking piece of news. The lady was going to teach the girl on her own!
That would make the girl a third-generation disciple of Emperor Baih, a title that everybody coveted.
If they were in Firey's place, they would blink even if they weren't threatened. No foster father could be more important.
