“First Miss, First Miss…” A series of anxious cries awakened Feng Tianlan. When she opened her eyes and sat up, a figure broke through the door and grabbed her hand, trying to pull her out of the room. “We need to save Miss Luo right away; she’s reached her limit!”

“Chuling, what happened?”

Chuling was the only maid Feng Tianlan had ever known. She’d bought Chuling as a child. Since then, Chuling had always protected Feng Tianlan whenever they were bullied, even if it meant being injured continuously. Chuling had been extremely loyal to her.

“Miss Luo’s fighting with Third Miss right now in the battle ring, the battle ring that leads to death!”

Chuling filled her in on the details as they ran. When Chuling saw Feng Tianlan beaten to the brink of death, she’d gone to Miss Luo for help. When Miss Luo arrived, Feng Tianlan had been lying unconscious on the bed. After they’d dressed her wounds, the enraged Miss Luo had charged out to settle the score with Feng Xiuyu, vowing that she would kill her future brother-in-law’s shameless seductress. All of these events had led them to today’s fight in the battle ring.

After hearing about what was going on, Feng Tianlan ignored the ache pulsing throughout her entire body and quickened her footsteps. Luo Yunzhu, the “Miss Luo” whom Chuling was talking about, was her former soul’s best friend. She’d been the only one who’d befriended Feng Tianlan while everyone else was bullying her, even if it meant offending others. She’d always protected her like an elder sister, despite being a year younger.

The moment they arrived at the Martial Training Square, Feng Tianlan saw a red-clad figure slammed onto the ground below the battle ring, sending spurs of dust into the air.

“Luo Yunzhu, for the Dean’s sake, I’ll only injure you this time. However, if you continue to run your mouth and smear my name, don’t blame me if, next time, I go all out.”

Feng Tianlan quickly rushed over and helped Luo Yunzhu up. “Yunzhu!”

“I’m sorry, Tianlan, I lost.”
