Suo Lun looked into her enchanting eyes and said, "Ali, you're afraid of me."
The City Lord scoffed coldly, her jade hand trembling slightly inside her sleeve.
Suo Lun continued, "The last time you sent me away, you were angry at me, but on a deeper level, it was because every time you saw me, it evoked guilt about Ashi Luo, which you couldn't face. You truly wanted to send me away; you found it painful for me to stay even a second longer."
The City Lord remained silent.
Suo Lun went on, "But as for Ashi Luo's death, you're now able to confront it. You also clearly understand that death was the best release for him, and you don't need to feel any guilt. What is just is to inherit his will and be an enemy to the Dragon Temple for life, to seek justice for him."
The City Lord continued to be silent.
"So, me being before you no longer triggers your guilt and pain towards him," Suo Lun said. "And now, if you're still sending me away, it's because you're afraid of me."
