'Beautiful, I am the worst person in this world for you to fight. Even if I weren't stronger than you, and I am, you'd still not be able to defeat my flag. Why bother to put yourself in such pain?'

'He...wants me to fight. So...I must fight.' 

'Hanxing? Really? Did the Golden Lotus demand that you serve him for a lifetime? No, if it gave you a soul, even an embryonic one, it was so that on your own, you'd find a way to become a fully-fledged person. You are free if you so desire it.'

'He...needs me.'
