Xiao Can had already become numb to his situation, and he answered in a voice filled with pure exhaustion. "I was stupid, selfish, and too afraid of dying after arriving on the rear battlefield. I traded a Root of Intelligence for an early discharge, and another one for General Wang Xun’s protection. If I hadn’t been such a coward, I would have never been targeted by the Wang family, and I wouldn’t have been trapped here for the rest of my life. Everything’s my own fault."
Lu Yin then understood; Xiao Can had been targeted by Wang Xun.
Lu Yin remembered Xiao Can saying that he had traded a Root of Intelligence for three years of protection from the third array base’s General Wang Xun, and then he had traded another one for an early discharge from the rear battlefield.

Wang Xun had not dared to attack Xiao Can on the rear battlefield, but he had immediately targeted the young man after his discharge.
Xiao Can had been desperate to escape the rear battlefield, but Wang Xun had likely been even more desperate for the young man to leave.
