Yu Wenye said coldly, "Whether it's important or not, protecting one's own woman is a man's responsibility."
"...!"
Xiao Yuansui's gaze suddenly darkened.
They had crossed paths years ago in Xingluo Granary, and he had experienced Yu Wenye's cutting sharpness akin to the Mo Blade in his hand. He knew Yu Wenye wouldn't easily be put at a disadvantage. However, whether this was his invincible rhetoric or his genuine thoughts, at this moment, it sounded particularly ironic in Xiao Yuansui's ears. He recalled what Shang Ruyi had said to him after he had failed to force Lu Xiao to death—
If a man cannot protect a woman's virtue, he cannot demand her to remain chaste.
If a man demands a woman to stay chaste, then the first step is to protect her safety.
Yu Wenye's actions and her words were identical.
