Jealousy

The thugs were not aware of Bai Rouyun's personality. They had never interacted with her before; all they knew about her was from the rumors which were spreading like wildfire all over Canglan City.

The background of Bai Rouyun was known to all, just as the reason behind her marriage to Li Moyun.

Even if there were some feelings involved now, they were initially not intended to be partners, and it was even possible to say that Li Moyun was forced into accepting her.

These thugs were certain that even if he did not blame her, and even if he did appreciate her appearance, she was still not someone who could hold much weight in the heart of the Eternal Shadow Lord.

They also knew that she only had one guard from the Eternal Shadow Palace by her side, and while he was considered one of the better experts within their palace, he was still not able to be in more than one place at a time.
