If I don't protect her, who will?

"Young mistress."

When second elder Yu saw this, he immediately pulled Bai Ye into a protective circle. His expression was extremely ugly because he knew that if Miao Longzhou had not immediately activated the eternal evergreen tree, Bai Ye would have long been captured by the powerful true gods of the Feng clan.

Even if he could catch up to them, he would not be able to save them. This was because the Feng clan real God who attacked them was clearly an expert of the same generation as the Grand Elder of the Feng clan.

However,

The people who saw Bai Ye being rescued were all extremely shocked by how much Miao Longzhou valued Bai Ye! Miao Longzhou's actions were just as he had said. He was defending the sovereignty of The Alchemist Association from being violated.
