Bai Mulan frowned slightly. He could not understand Bai Rouyun's thoughts. Why would she not want to connect with her family?
He was from a branch of the Bai clan. While he had some low bloodline connection to the main branch, it was so little that he and his entire family were only allowed to work as servants.
He had been given to Bai Liqiang, Bai Rouyun's father, as a child, and had grown up as his confidant and best friend since then. However, nothing could change the fact that he was merely a servant.
He and the children he would once have would never be able to learn the family martial art techniques, nor would they be able to live a life of luxury, or be young masters or misses.
They would be servants for their entire lives.
When he read up on Bai Rouyun's life, and after meeting her, he saw how she had been all alone. She was wronged time and time again, but she had never bowed down to the powerful.
