Su Liyan's mother sighed and said, "Maybe it's because I'm getting older and life has gotten better, so my mindset has changed. I just can't stand to see people suffer."
"What are you talking about? Mother, you're looking younger every day!" Lu Yuan said, walking side-by-side with his mother-in-law.
Lu Yuan continued, "Mother, that pair might not have actually been mother and daughter, but we still helped them, didn't we?"
His mother-in-law asked in disbelief, "How could that be? They were so pitiful. If we hadn't stepped in, that group of Daoists would have robbed them of their things."
Su Liyan's mother held Daoists in high regard; after all, they were the guardians who protected the common folk.
However, the events of the day had somewhat shattered her perception of them.
Su Liyan's mother was still too naive. In the heat of the moment, she hadn't noticed the subtle clues.
Lu Yuan countered with a question, "Mother, did you get a good look at their ages?"
