After much deliberation, Chu Ning ultimately declined Yun Anlan's request.
It wasn't that he refused to help Yun Anlan; rather, he did not wish to be at Yun Anlan's beck and call thereafter.
After all, in his previous life, he was an excellent citizen who had undergone modern higher education. Helping others brought joy, and returning favors was only natural, not taking advantage of others in their time of need.
"I am still too kind-hearted."
Chu Ning murmured softly, thinking that others might have agreed in his place.
He would never admit that his refusal was because Yun Anlan had a Hollow Void Late Stage grandfather backing him.
...
A day later, Yun Shu received the news and hurried back from the Sect. Alongside the Yun Family Clan Leader and Yun Anlan, he discussed matters in a secret room. Although the three of them did not exclude Chu Ning, he chose not to be involved.
He did not wish to know too much about the internal affairs of the Yun Family.
