Huangfu Qing's expression was conflicted. "Why... why would there be a need to make such a choice? The Venerable and you have no conflict..."
Zhao Changhe saw her cute, inexplicable demeanor and couldn't help but laugh. "How could there be no conflict? Don't you know that ever since you and I met, the Venerable's intention has been to win me over through you?"
Huangfu Qing said, "But that's to win you over, not to monitor you! What are you thinking?"
"To win someone over implies that our interests are not the same, but merely those of collaborators..." Zhao Changhe sighed. "Qing'er, when I say I'm a Room Fire Pig, in fact, both Venerables have never truly seen me as a subordinate. My identity is just a pretext for cooperation. From the beginning to the end, they knew I didn't follow the faith."
