When the time comes, won't we still end up as tributaries to Dongying, with even more masters to serve? Our plight may not be better than it is now.
Shong Ming, feeling extremely wronged, said: "Actually, I never intended to harm Dongming; it's just that although I'm the betrothed of Lady of Dongming, I've never managed to get close to her, not even touched her hand... I truly like her very much, and imagined that if I became the Master of Dongming, she would surely change her attitude towards me now."
Rubbish! Lie Xun's face turned pale, just about to lash out, when he suddenly saw Sui Yi tapping his finger on the table, seemingly indifferent to this matter, and instead said, "You can answer the next two questions."
Shong Ming let out a sigh of relief inwardly; it seems this person truly doesn't care about the political disputes between Dongming or the Central Plains, as Li Yuanji had said.
Thus, he may not necessarily be killed today.
