"I..." You Xi bit his lip tightly, "If I had strength, I wouldn't need to fear him. I could make some decisions based on my own strength, but as you saw just now, my father is forcing me to marry, so I had no choice but to let you cover for me for a while."
What You Xi didn't tell Mu Ruyue was that he said this not to avoid marriage, but to save her life...
After all, he owed Mu Ruyue a favor and couldn't just watch her be ravaged by the Demon Emperor.
And that man was too strong; she was no match for him. Apart from saying those words, there was no other way...
However, although You Xi didn't say it, Mu Ruyue could imagine it.
That's why she didn't blame You Xi afterwards...
"Since I'm facing him, I'm confident that I can escape this calamity, so you shouldn't have said those things."
