Chapter 406: Ill-intentioned and Finding Fault

“But this is a token of my apology,” Lin Shuyin protested, lowering her voice slightly. Last time, her master knew that she’d almost revealed her true colors because of the Wargod. She’d been punished for that.

Unless she won Feng Tianlan’s trust, she would lose all her value. The consequences would be dire.

“There’s no need. We are even now. An apology is not required.” Feng Tianlan’s gaze landed on Lin Shuyin’s clean, elegant face as she continued coldly, “Although, for now, we are even, Miss Lin should know when to stop. If anything else were to happen, then I’m afraid that it would be impossible to settle the score between us, even if you wanted to.”

Lin Shuyin looked at Feng Tianlan’s back and bit her lip gently. This was a warning. She was afraid that Feng Tianlan might have dug up some clues concerning the incident with the man-eating flower.

Damnit. Why did this woman have to be so smart?

“Miss Lin is older than Eldest Sister, and we are from the same Academy. Why don’t we look after Eldest Sister together?” Tu Xiupei stood beside Lin Shuyin while also looking at Feng Tianlan’s back with hatred in her eyes.

Lin Shuyin cleared her voice and said, “Looking after Feng Tianlan is necessary, but I’m afraid that I will not be doing it with Miss Tu.”

She so wanted to please Feng Tianlan. Therefore, she could never get too close to Tu Xiupei.

The Flying Frost Pavilion was located in the middle of the largest island, Anqing Island. It was surrounded by smaller islands. During low tide, you could walk directly between nearby islands because the seabed became like a road.

“Are you Feng Tianlan?”

When she arrived at the foot of the stairs leading up to the Flying Frost Pavilion, someone obstructed her path.
