"I didn't jump in the river myself," said Yuan Ni as he wiped his eyes angrily. He sniffed and then said to Ruan Chanchan, "I never wanted to kill myself. I only came here because I wanted to hide from my grandmother, who seemed to have gone crazy, but then Shao Xia came to look for me. The two of us exchanged a few heated words, and she pushed me into the river. She used her totem energy, which made it impossible for me to swim back up, or else why would I let myself drown?"
