It wasn't that Yi Tianyun was being too arrogant. It was simply that when one possessed strength, they had a duty to fight for their own dignity and that of their loved ones. Even without strength, one should be willing to die for that dignity.
For a Cultivator, nothing was more important than their dignity. If they abandoned it, even if they managed to survive, a Heart Demon would forever linger in their heart. At that point, breaking through to the next realm would be impossible; they would be lucky not to succumb to their inner demons.
A person can lose, and they can fail, but they must never abandon their dignity.
"Tianyun!" Jiao Linghe shot him a glare, silently telling him to be more composed. This wasn't their territory. She could still endure this; she wasn't going to cause a scene just because of those two words, "fox spirit."
Yi Tianyun glanced at Jiao Linghe and said nothing more. Since his mother had said so, he would swallow his anger for the time being.
