Su Yan protested, "But, I didn't faint when the demon grabbed me just now."
"That's because you were scared stiff!" Shen Wu retorted.
Sitting off to one side, Mo Chen, who had been quiet until now, cracked a slight smile and said indifferently,
"Su Yan is right. She indeed was not scared by the demon; in this, I can testify."
"You see, even Master Mo Chen says I wasn't scared by the demon," Su Yan said triumphantly, with a taunting raise of her eyebrows at Shen Wu.
Shen Wu's face darkened on one side as he leaned in close to Mo Chen and asked curiously, "Young Master, you couldn't have taken a fancy to this girl, could you?"
Otherwise, why would he side with an outsider against him instead of helping him?
"Pfft—" Su Yan, who was drinking water, sprayed it out.
Mo Chen's expression remained even, his gaze at Shen Wu half-amused and half-mocking, without saying a word.
