Looking back and scrutinizing Changan's demeanor anew, one can discern a sense of discord.
From his position as Yinyue, he only needed to instill in me the notion that "If I want to save Changan, I cannot destroy Yinyue." However, he said something superfluous, as if trying to negate my friendship with Changan.
This approach was of no benefit to him; the more I cared about Changan, the more advantageous it was for him. It was apparent that though he was selectively expressing Changan's inner feelings, he himself was also driven to some extent by the same selective emotions, wanting to question my friendship with Changan. Was it because he harbored other deep-seated intentions, or was it because the soul burns I caused to Yinyue were indeed so severe that he exhibited such a contradictory demeanor?
