Zhenxian, on the other hand, appeared to be relaxed, "Okay! As you just said, if the purpose of my coming to Kaidan Academy is to fight for the demon's holy relic, then I will not die happily."
He finished his oath.
I was shocked and didn't swear by me. Why?
"I want you to swear on Griffith's life." Fenbei insisted, and she was very stubborn.
Zhenxian smiled, "If I am a person who does not value love, and I lie and she dies, what will be the loss to me? All you will get is my lies."
"I bet you are a person who values love." Fenbei's confidence came from nowhere. "I see everything you do, so I bet! I believe in my eyesight."
"What if you lose?"
Zhenxian and Fenbei started a psychological war again, and also added a war of looks.
"Am I going to lose?"
Fenbei chuckled, "Not necessarily, you swear, you don't want your mother-in-law!"
I... what should I do? I'm confused. Zhenxian doesn't want to swear by me because I'm really special to him? What does it mean for Koriko? He just said
It was mentioned that maybe there was some misunderstanding between him and me, so was Riko a misunderstanding?
I'm not sure anymore...
If it is really just a misunderstanding, if I misunderstood Zhenxian, if Zhenxian went to Riko's appointment because he wanted to make it clear to Riko, rather than to have special feelings for Riko...
So aren't some of my prejudices against true sages all wrong?
"Zhenxian, you swear on me!" I acted like I believed him, but in fact, I was just betting on my position in his mind and whether I would honor the oath.
"If you weren't lying, then Griffith wouldn't have sworn the oath at all. What are you afraid of?"
Fenbei continued to shake him and used his trump card.
"Could it be that you made up your mind to lie? Ha! Then I bet on the right chips. In your mind, Griffith is indeed more important than your life." Fenbei said again.
Zhenxian's face changed, and he became angry for the first time.
"Fenbei-san——"
"What?" Fenbei looked provocatively, "The transaction must be of equal value. I, Fenbei, am not a fool."
