Even Yichen felt his body considerably heavy, and without exerting force to resist, he also found it unbearable. With a cold snort, a gentle power burst out from him, quickly enveloping Xiao Ruo, Hu, and Tianxin. If these three were hurt by this pressure in front of him, spreading such news would greatly damage his reputation. Though Yichen didn't care much about reputation.
Initially feeling as if they were about to be crushed under the immense weight, Hu and Tianxin suddenly felt the pressure lighten around them, returning to normal. The two were shocked; the fact that Yichen could so effortlessly dispel the pressure indicated that he had the strength to counteract it. This indirectly gave them some understanding of Yichen's power.
