Chapter 640: Yuan Fuyao (II)
Yuan Huyuan deliberated for a moment, his voice lowering as he said, "Now… if both Chengdun and the others do not return, the future will be hard to predict. Fuyao is Chengdun's only son. I can only entrust him to your family's care."
"This was something Chengdun arranged with you earlier…"
Yuan Huyuan's expression became increasingly strained. His aged face twitched slightly, and he finally said, "I have come here today, swallowing my pride, to ask if your family can spare a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator to assist us…"
Li Xuanxuan was stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.
Thanks to Li Xizhi's earlier reminder, he already understood that the Yuan Family was in chaos, unsure of how deeply involved they were with Azure Pond Sect's plans. He had no intention of getting entangled.
While offering protection to Yuan Chengdun's descendants was a minor matter that wouldn't pose significant risks, actively intervening was an entirely different issue.
Being a cautious individual by nature, Li Xuanxuan only wanted to protect the family's prodigy for a few more years. The difficulty of the situation was clearly written on his face. Seeing this, Yuan Huyuan lowered his voice further and said, "I understand the trouble with Yuanjiao's situation and that your family is facing turbulent times… but as for my family…"
Yuan Huyuan understood his family's precarious situation all too well. Yet, as an elder, he desperately clung to the hope of salvaging what remained, unwilling to give up. Having exhausted every possible connection, he could only turn to the Li Family for help.
Li Xuanxuan sighed inwardly and decided to hint at his position. "Senior! This rain has lasted far too long!"
