Before Aren could decide what to do, Wen spoke again.
"Yes. It was Aren." He nodded firmly. "That night, I wasn't feeling well and went to soak by the Firebird Clan's sacred pool. By accident, I overheard his secret."
"And so he tried to kill me."
"At the time, I was in the middle of an episode and couldn't use my abilities. He gravely injured me. In a panic, I escaped and hid inside the fish tank Princess Lola Brandon keeps. She mistook me for an ordinary little fish… and later gifted me to you."
When he finished, Wen looked at Rory. A faint blush spread across his pale face.
Jasper cleared his throat softly, displeasure edging his tone.
"What secret did Aren have that made him want to kill you?"
And why was this fish blushing at Rory?
Wen glanced at him calmly and answered, "I overheard him saying that Lian was trying to seduce his female. He planned to hire several powerful fighters to beat Lian severely."
