It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How can you refuse! "

Feng Ba helped Murong Yun out. Murong Yun said: "I have been sick for a long time and have been isolated from the world. You are now pushing me by mistake. The reason for my hesitation is not for my own sake, but because my moral character is not enough to help the people.
