Chapter 1621 - The State Preceptors Request (2) (1/2)

Under such circumstances, Sheng’er was willing to protect her like this, then naturally, she would do the same.

She had always been like this. If others treated her well, she would treat them better tenfold. If others treated her badly, she would treat them worse tenfold or a hundredfold.

These had nothing to do with love, family, and friends. It was who she was.

“Everyone who cares?” The State Preceptor’s expression was filled with yearning and curiosity. How did it feel like to be cared for?

He had never experienced it before, nor was there any way for him to do so. He did not possess any emotions nor desires, so he naturally could not have felt these feelings. But he was curious. What kind of emotions could make a person lower his bottom line again and again.

He glanced at Feng Tianlan who was still kneeling in front of him. “You can get up.”

“That would mean you have agreed. I hereby thank you in advance.” She kowtowed again and thanked him before standing up, feeling greatly relieved.

The State Preceptor looked at Feng Tianlan’s reddened forehead and asked, “Do you really believe that I have this ability?”

“Didn’t you force Bi Ling to admit last time?”

“I was pretending. I was just scaring her,” he replied casually.

“…” Feng Tianlan not only felt pain in her kneecaps, but her hands also itched to give the State Preceptor a thrashing for tricking her into kneeling and kowtowing thrice.

He glanced at her and asked softly, “Why? I lied to you, are you having regrets now?”

For such an arrogant person to not jump and beat him up, it was obvious that she was restraining herself.

“Although I want to beat you up, I don’t regret it because this is my last hope. Even if it’s just a sliver, I’m willing to do it.” Feng Tianlan looked at the tightly shut door. What was there to regret? As long as there was a glimmer of hope, no matter how small, she had to give it a try.
