Right in front of Yuan Lizhi, Chen Mo rejected Yuan Ruoshan's words and declared that a Xiantian Master could not be insulted. In truth, he was taking a stand for Yuan Ruoshan, using Yuan Lizhi to tell everyone else that he would protect her. Anyone too blind to know better who came looking for trouble would have to get past him first.
He was already equivalent to a Xiantian Master, perhaps even having achieved the Bao Dan realm. There was nothing wrong with backing up his friends.
Yuan Ruoshan understood Chen Mo's meaning as well, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. Ever since she had returned to Shangshi from the little notebook, those who had once flattered her, tried to build connections with her, or pursued her had all vanished without a trace. Even the Yuan Family members had gradually begun speaking coldly to her. Moreover, the resources the family had once invested in her were suddenly gone, completely redirected elsewhere.
Yes, she had been injured while Performing a Mission, but so what? Her disability compensation had already been paid, and the family had not said they were abandoning her. They were even continuing to support her, so saying a few things would not kill her. Besides, since things had come to this, couldn't she make a few more contributions to the family?
Yuan Lizhi had used her as a topic of discussion and had even pressured Yuan Ruoshan's father into agreeing to his proposal at a family meeting in exchange for certain benefits. In those people's eyes, all of that was worthwhile, and Yuan Ruoshan was not losing anything anyway, was she?
The family had once spent everything to cultivate you. Now that you were disabled, you should still contribute your last remaining warmth to the family.
