He promised to protect Wen Rou.
Originally, it was just a task, an exchange. After all, he had obtained the Ancestral Reversion Pill from her.
But later, when he was inside the Thunder Spirit Ruins, with his life and death uncertain, Wen Rou still chose to stay by Qiong'er's side. Together with Qiong'er, she sought revenge for him. How many life-and-death experiences did they go through in that year? She could have left. Even if she did, Su Chen would have thought it was understandable, without blame. But she didn't.
Su Chen is not heartless; he had long felt grateful. He believed he owed Wen Rou.
The original exchange and task already left him indebted to her. After all, the Ancestral Reversion Pill had already been used by Qiong'er, yet those pursuing Wen Rou are still nowhere to be found. He almost did nothing.
In that year, he owed her so much more.
Su Chen always kept it in mind.
