Coming to this realization after Ye Weiming's reminder, everyone finally understood.
Damn, Yuan Zhen is such a sly fox!
They were delighted when they suddenly received this mission.
Although the rewards of the mission didn't look that appealing, the idea of Yuan Zhen requiring seclusion for healing and un-interrupted peace actually stirred their interest.
At first, they were considering whether or not to take on the mission under pretenses, and then during Yuan Zhen's energy-healing treatment, when he couldn't be disturbed, suddenly turn against him, and strike him with a backlash of Inner Strength or such.
Following Ye Weiming's reminder, they came to realize their thoughts were naïve, this so-called "Protector" mission was nothing but a trap, a safety net to keep the players from turning against him on a whim!
