In the past, she had always heard that Master Lian was bad, but after spending time together, it didn't seem to be the case. Seeing is believing while hearing may be deceiving. She thought Master Lian did not resemble the manipulative, seductive vixen others described. They merely understood too little before; her master had not interacted privately with Master Lian, hence the negative assumptions.
