"You're nothing more than a pawn he uses to probe the path, while he can hide in the shadows and watch the situation unfold."
"And not consider your worth, if it weren't for the blood flowing in your veins, how could he even give you a second thought." Tan Ding's words were filled with ridicule, his spiritual fluctuations spreading recklessly:
"Yet you are foolish enough to collaborate with outsiders, attacking the source of your status, now you realize you've been played, don't you."
"Do you know how much loss you've caused to the Empire due to your ignorance!"
Abel's face alternated between pale and livid; Tan Ding's sarcasm was aimed partly at him but equally at Azure Dragon.
