No, i think you misread somethings. firstly, Mo fan is talking about saving his lover ling yun. you can see it again. he addresses her as yun er in the dialogue. secondly, it was talking about the past where his father was alive and would protect him from the ridicule of other for being a untalented person. I hope this helps. ^..^
Reality_King4ever:mo fen dad is the former family head and mo Fen said he will save him I don't know how as he is dead and the previous chapter said the his father saved mo Fen from the current family head
