Even though she was just standing there her aura seemed to resemble a small, sun, and she had already entered the 7th stage. But one would wonder how she would react if she knew that Situ was already at the 9th rank, but she would not worry knowing how Situ thought. He would not chase after an increase in the realm for the time being and try to improve himself to the best possible limit, and that would mean that she would catch up as long as she put in the work.
As much as Xaiohe did not want to accept what Situ had said, she was able to acknowledge that it was the truth after she calmed down. The two of them might not be the ones at the lowest level of the food chain, but in the end, they are still not important in the overall situation. So being called a cannon fodder is more like a fancy word, after all the number of people that can kill them are a lot.
