Died protecting a descendent of the Hong Family, the family was backed by a top-level Venerable.
As soon as the old events were mentioned, Liu Huo's mood turned low, and he downed several mouthfuls of alcohol in a row, trying to drown his sorrows.
His weathered eyes grew bloodshot, and like a madman, he barked out a laugh and said,
"Guarding the family of a top-level Venerable, just getting the job is already a huge honor, we were picked from thousands of Great Venerables, we actually got in!"
"Back then, it was me who insisted on being a Hong Family guard, after winning out in the selection, how could I just give up!"
"But I never expected that the very first time I did the job, I'd run into a Beast Tide."
"I'm the one who got her mother killed..."
Xiao Ye remained silent.
*Was there anything wrong with taking the job as a Venerable family's bodyguard? Objectively speaking, no.*
*Was there anything wrong with carrying out the protection mission? Also no.*
