In truth, Lin Fei knew that his master’s restraint was born from a desire not to implicate him. Cang Kongkong understood her disciple’s loyal and righteous nature well; she knew Lin Fei could never sit idly by while her clan’s extermination went unavenged. However, the enemy’s power was too immense. If she were to act on impulse and seek revenge, she would surely drag Lin Fei to his doom.
If Lin Fei were not by her side, what would Cang Kongkong have left to fear? With her family gone, she had nothing left to lose.
