Huo Peng was finally starting to lose his composure. Even though they were in the family's ancestral land, being publicly called an idiot was more than anyone could stomach.
The smile froze on his face, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.
Before Huo Peng could open his mouth, Xu Luo quickly continued, "Let me ask you, what is a Guard's job? Isn't it to protect their master? When the master is in danger, isn't the Guard supposed to step up? I can't believe it, Huo Peng, oh Huo Peng... after all these years of training out in the world, you'd still ask such an idiotic question!"
"I really don't understand what you've learned all these years. In your eyes, should it always be the Guard who escapes with their life while the master stays behind to cover the retreat and gets killed? Would that be reasonable? Bah!"
"Huo Peng... can you dare to say you haven't lost any Guards by your side over the years? That you've never had a time where you abandoned them and ran?"
