Bai Ruozhu also ignored the pitifully crying Dang Youshen and said coldly, "I didn't want to fuss over matters with Dang Youshen before, out of consideration for the overall strength of the Academy Competition. Now that the competition is over, and he is still spreading rumors about me, I cannot take him with us on our next journey."
Upon hearing this, Dang Youshen was startled. What did she mean, to leave him behind in Jiangnan?
"His reckless talk has already caused a stir, thanks to Su Bilan's spreading of it. Even if I'm willing to overlook his actions, I cannot guarantee that soldiers from the Northwest Main Camp won't lay hands on him. Therefore, it would be safer for Young Master Dang to return to Beiyu City on his own, or perhaps you could ask Lord Liu Yuanzheng to arrange an escort for you," Bai Ruozhu added.
