"The heart of an innocent child is rare and precious. How could you do that to him?"

"When facing life, death, power and manipulation, the heart of a child is worthless." Ji Yunhe now looked even more detached.

"He is naive. As his advisor, can you also be naive?" Ji Yunhe sneered and withdrew her wrist. The monk pressed on, "Over the past six years, did you not feel any guilt or regret for what you did?"

"What I did had already been done. It's only human nature to fight for one's own benefits, what do I need to feel guilty and regretful about?" Ji Yunhe made a sinister face.

"You don't regret hurting him?"

"No regrets."

"Did you know that he planned and fought for six years just to save you from the Grand Master's house?"

"I know, he wanted vengeance."

"Did you know the day before yesterday when you sought death, he was at his own inauguration to be crowned? When he sensed you were in danger, he left immediately, leaving ten thousand people hanging?"

The day she sought death...

Her mind quickly flashed through Changyi's clothing and hair that day, and the jade hairpin she pulled off of his crown. Changyi never wore crowns and jade hairpins before...

Turned out... he had rushed over from his own inauguration... But Ji Yunhe looked unmoved and responded with no hesitation, "I didn't know, but so what?"

"So what?" Kongming narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Master Warden of the Demon Valley, the woman who can play with people's hearts in the palm of her hand, now cannot see into his mind?" At this point, Ji Yunhe finally fell silent. The monk did not let her off the hook.

"You claim you are all about benefits, but right now, instead of charming him and winning back his trust to your advantage, you do your best to annoy him, even seeking death…

Master Warden, that fish is simple minded and direct, and cannot comprehend the twists and turns of a human heart, but I am not like him."

Ji Yunhe's lips started to turn pale, but her back was still straight. She glanced at Changyi sitting on the other side of the screen. He seemed to be discussing something troubling and did not pay attention to the development happening between Ji Yunhe and Kongming. She relaxed a little.

"Master," she smiled at Kongming, "you are understanding, so you should know telling him the truth will not be good for him or for me. I am dying..."

"I am a monk. I do not lie, and naturally I do not gossip," the monk said.

"I don't care about your thoughts and intentions back then, but this fish is now my friend. As long as you don't do anything to hurt him from now on, I can ignore your past."

"Very good. Very good that he now has friends." Ji Yunhe smiled, then cleared her throat.

"But..."Her smile faded and she glared at him.

"You better keep your word. Otherwise, I will let you know how bad I can be."

"Don't worry, I will keep quiet. Not because of you, but because I think the same as you. Telling him the truth will affect his mental stability, it won't be beneficial to our war against Dacheng. My goal in life to slay evil and abolish injustice can only be achieved with his help, I will not allow anything to mess with our great cause." Ji Yunhe lowered her head and looked at the back of her pale hand.

"It is good that you are clear."

Kongming stood up and said, "Although I know now that you had reasons back then, I still don't like you." Ji Yunhe smiled and looked up at him.

"Coincidentally, I don't like you either."
