Rong Zhi was too terrifying.
Under his deep gaze, it seemed like nothing could hide. In just a day, he had unearthed everything completely.
Accurate insight, decisive action, and calm judgment—these traits, so starkly different from Rong Zhi's graceful appearance, also demonstrated how smooth and sharp his techniques were, distinctly unlike Huan Yuan's rawness.
Because of this, Liu Se grew increasingly fearful of falling into Rong Zhi's hands. He couldn't see through this man and couldn't begin to guess what the consequences might be.
Chu Yu remembered what Rong Zhi had said the previous day about wanting to kill You Lan. Although her view of him had changed, his methods were cold and cruel—that was a fact. She was about to shake her head. Even if Liu Se deserved punishment, it shouldn't be too harsh.
