She was no longer the Feng Tianlan who could be bullied by just anybody, so Chuling no longer had to protect her every time she was in danger.
Chuling held her ground for a while then nodded vigorously and said, "I understand."
The head bodyguard snorted at this, looking at them with disdain. "Let's go."
Feng Tianlan took a few steps forward and stood in front of the head bodyguard, slanting her eyes at him. She said, "You're a bodyguard raised by the Fengs—I'm sure you know what happens to those who betray the head of the family, right?"
The head bodyguard flinched then replied solemnly, "I remain loyal to the Feng Clan."
At this, Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows, but did not say anymore. She and Chuling walked into the hall and heard an angry but weak shout, "Kneel!"
Chuling's legs went weak. She was about to kneel and beg for mercy for Feng Tianlan, but Feng Tianlan held her up and stopped her.
