Bab 175: Chapters 145-146 The Four Major Drawbacks

What Xin Yun found most sympathetic was that, if in the first battle his fighting spirit had won everyone's respect, then as the second, third, and hundredth battles passed with more and more losses, the excitement had faded and was replaced by mockery. In everyone's eyes, Ming Xuan was just a stubborn clown, whose only purpose was to be the object of ridicule.

For a while, Ming Xuan's life plunged into utter darkness, with the whole world mocking and despising him. In the entire world, only Xin Yun and his mother never ridiculed him.

As for Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying, although they had never mocked him either, the two girls were rather cold and hardly spoke to him. Yan Qingying was naturally so, while Yi Luo Xiang wasn't naturally that way but had become so over time; apart from Xin Yun, she kept her distance from any man, as if fearing something.
