Sun Ningxiang did not want Lin Yuan to see her the same way he saw the Spirit Craftsmen and people who left society, as someone he gifted with resources just because she had helped him.
This made her feel as though Lin Yuan was drawing a line between the two of them.
But the later part of what Lin Yuan said had all been in consideration for her.
He did not see her as an ordinary subordinate because he would not care so much about the future development of an ordinary subordinate.
Sun Ningxiang would never be able to become a Radiance Knight by relying on her own abilities.
All the top factions were doing their best to nurture their descendants so they would have the best chance of becoming a Radiance Envoy. Even if they fell short, they had to become a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence at the very least.
Sun Ningxiang was a healing-type spirit qi professional and had been in the pits. It could not compare with other top factions.
