His expression hardened as he continued, "Running away from home and staying at an unmarried man's home; do you know how it will affect our clan if the word is out? If not for your father spreading a rumor that you were abducted, the consequences would have been dire.
I can assure you that from here on, no one would dare to force you into a marriage against your wishes but you have to apologize to your father."
"I…" Song Yue doesn't know what to tell him. She knew that she did the right thing but at the same time, she can't refute his words too.
As a look of hesitation appeared on her face, Mark interrupted their conversation,
"Smoke generates because of the fire, Mr. Song. You cannot blame the smoke that suffocated the people who inhaled it when the real fault lies with the fire."
"Hmm?" Song Tai took a glance at him.
Mark continued, "The Song Clan was already fallen the moment Song Yun had decided to sacrifice his daughter for his personal ambition. Song Yue's staying here is the result of that sin committed by her father who even locked her up like a prisoner. What consequences are you talking about? If she has done nothing wrong, why should she apologize?"
Song Tai furrowed his brows in displeasure, "Owner Lu, I'm thankful that you looked after my great-granddaughter but this is our family matter. Don't interfere."
"Lady Song is the guest of Genesis Store, at the moment," replied Mark in a serious tone as he crossed his arms to the chest. "Only she has the right to stop me from interfering. Not you or your clan."
"Right then, tell me one thing." Song Tai didn't back down from the argument, "I will put aside the clan for a moment. What about Song Yue? She didn't do any wrong, correct? Then, who will be responsible if her character gets defamed after the commoners and fellow nobles learn that she spent three days with an unmarried young man and slept in his house? Even if you want to protect her, you should have let her stay in an inn.

You can wash off your hands from this matter and continue to live happily but what about Song Yue? She'll have to live with the allegations for the rest of her life, right? Can you convince the whole society using strength or your weapons?
Answer me."
Song Tai thought that he can corner Mark using such facts but the latter was already aware of all the issues before he made the decision.
,m Looking straight into the eyes of the Supreme Realm expert, he answered, "I will do nothing, Mr. Song. Just like how I was responsible for my life, Lady Song is responsible for her own life. All I can do is support her through my ways. If society defames her, it is her responsibility to fight the battle to clear her name.
And in the process, I will stand by her side against society. If she thinks that my weapons will give her justice, then, I will gladly provide them too."
From Mark's reply, Song Tai realized that the weapon seller had clarity on his decision. But, to what length he was willing to go for Song Yue is something that needed to think about.
The old man then said, "What if siding with her will make you the enemy of a Supreme Realm Spirit Warrior along with half a dozen noble clans? If you encourage her, this might become a reality."
Mark's face turned serious when he heard that. He felt like the old man is threatening him. As a result, he only got more stubborn about his decision. "Mr. Song, you know nothing about me. I would rather burn the entire world or die in the process than betray my conscience."
Mark thought that he had given a befitting reply but Song Tai took advantage of it and asked while taking a glance at Song Yue, "Does that mean you will destroy Song Clan too?"
It was at that moment Mark realized that he fucked up. He didn't expect this powerful expert will trap him using his own words.
In Mark's eyes, most of the nobles with high authority or great power are quite one-dimensional people. If someone of lower stature or lower strength doesn't agree with their decision, then, they will try to destroy them.

So, when Song Tai implied that Mark will make an enemy out of him, he thought that the old man would probably use force to take her away.
But, never in the world did he expect that Song Tai would use his brain in this heated argument. For a moment, he felt like a fool.
As Mark stayed silent, refusing to admit either yes or no, Song Tai turned towards his great-granddaughter, "Xiao Yue, now you must have understood the consequences. If you don't come with me and apologize to your father, he will surely escalate the situation. You know him. Not only your character will be defamed, but because of you, either your benefactor will die or your whole family will be massacred. If everything can be solved by a simple apology, why take the path of destruction?"
Just as Mark feared, this last piece of conversation impacted Song Yue a lot. She wanted the marriage to be stopped and that had happened. Why prolong the matter over unnecessary pride? Not to mention, she was apologizing to her own father, not to some stranger either.
Making the decision, she slowly opened her mouth, "Great-grandpa, I will return with you and apologize to father. But, I also need your help in convincing my father to put a stop to his enmity with Lu Zhen. Can you do this favor? I beg you." She then bowed to Song Tai, taking him by surprise.
One is begging him to show mercy on the other while the latter is willing to fight the world for the former.
All of a sudden, he felt like their relationship isn't normal. Are they really mere acquaintances like Lin Xue mentioned? Song Tai had a reason to doubt it but at the moment, it isn't important. He threw away the thought to the back of his head and replied with a smile, "I'm your great grandfather. You don't need to beg me to do a favor as little as this. Consider it done. Happy?"
"Thank you." Song Yue bowed to him once again and then looked at Mark, "I'm sorry to drag you into my matters. I'm also sorry for not being able to live up to your expectations. But, I won't be able to forgive myself if something happens to you or my family."
Mark didn't know what else to say. Song Yue willingly took the decision and he doesn't have any right to stop her. But, a strange disturbance occurred in his chest as she left with the both of them.
For several minutes, he just stood at the entrance, clenching his fist in frustration as Lin Xue's carriage disappeared from the sight.
"Well, she went back to her world and it's time that I proceed on my way…" Mark let out a sigh and closed down the store before going back upstairs to eat his lunch.

His expression hardened as he continued, "Running away from home and staying at an unmarried man's home; do you know how it will affect our clan if the word is out? If not for your father spreading a rumor that you were abducted, the consequences would have been dire.
