On the way to the capital of Ji Yun Country where he was being escorted, Luo Heng tried to persuade him countless times, "Your Highness, you cannot be soft-hearted anymore. Our lives, compared to those of tens of thousands of common folk and soldiers, are not worth the concern. Please, Your Highness, run away! Return to Lian Hai Kingdom, protect your home, your country! Otherwise, if our homeland falls, we will all be sinners of our nation!"
They would rather die at the hands of Chen Ruobai while protecting Mu Rongche's escape now than to see Mu Rongche trapped here because of worrying about them.
"No, I must make things clear with Xiao Bai. If she is angry, my life will compensate for it, she doesn't need to go to such lengths."
Mu Rongche was firm in his belief that she was still his Xiao Bai, not a female demon.
