Raising a Villain Went Wrong (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 77

Namgung Ryeo had never realized until meeting Dan Mok Bi that such immense anger churned within her chest. Until then, she had merely resigned herself and suppressed it due to her lack of power—not because she was kind-hearted and had patiently endured it.

“It’s a prestigious sect; that’s impossible. Even if it were to fall, it would decline gradually.”

“What nonsense—how can something like this even be called prestigious?”
