Zhou Chen truly had not intended to get involved, but then he reconsidered.
The fact that a woman was willing to give him so much silver alone was enough to show how much he meant to Bai Tangyin.
When Bai Tangyin had said she was not interested in him, there must have been something else behind it.
Women so sincere were rare in this world. She was worth lending a hand to. Perhaps someday, he would need Bai Tangyin to lend him a few hands as well.
Seeing him press the matter, Xiao Rou stammered, "Master Zhou, you're overthinking it. There really isn't anything wrong."

Zhou Chen smiled. "Although I don't know what trouble your young lady has encountered, I can tell you now that I've already broken through to become a Second-Rank Martial Artist. If even my current standing can't resolve it, then I truly can't help, however much I might wish to."

She almost thought Zhou Chen was teasing her!
After all,
