Lesson In Judgement

Hong Li sighed. "If it were anyone else in his shoes and they heard what you just said, wouldn't they also get angry? Junior sister, have you forgotten what our master taught us? 'Don't judge a person by their appearance.' A bad temper doesn't necessarily mean someone is evil. And those who seem like perfect gentlemen—can you guarantee they're truly good?
