Duan Yiyi's few words didn't just displease Lie Rufeng. They also made Ruxin and Tang Ming uncomfortable.
Although they weren't particularly close to this Mr. Lu, they were from a reputable sect and simply couldn't bring themselves to do something like backstabbing an ally.
What's more, Duan Yiyi wasn't even asking for help politely. Her every word was sharp and piercing, filled with threats.
As a result, even Tang Ming, who had just been about to mediate, didn't say another word.
Lie Rufeng remained silent, apparently not letting Duan Yiyi's words sway his decision.
This silence finally made Duan Yiyi truly panic.
She suddenly realized that if Lie Rufeng and the others abandoned her, she might actually die here!
She quickly suppressed the anger in her heart, softening her tone to a desperate plea. "Senior Brother Lie, we're both from the Qiyue Sect! We're the real family here. You can't just abandon me!"
"I'm still young! I don't want to die here!"
