"Bro Ye, you aren't going to rescue your damsel in distress? Playing the hero?"
Xuanyuan Ye didn't say anything, his entire mind focused on the situation before them.
"Don't worry, Bro Zhen. Our sister- in- law is quite a capable woman. She would be able to turn the situation in her favor. Even if she can't, our commander here won't just sit and do nothing." Ji Muchen winked at Nie Zhen as he told him to just sit and enjoy the show.
"A-anyway...! It's not appropriate for her to take on the position!" Ruan Li tried to avoid the question as he insisted on Ruan Ji giving up.
Ruan Chu was the first to speak again, stepping forward with his hands clasped respectfully, though the stiffness in his jaw betrayed his growing frustration.
"Grandfather, please think carefully. Ji Ji isn't suitable for this position. Why burden her with such a heavy responsibility? Let her rest and recover. Isn't it cruel to force her into this just to prove a point?"
