On instinct, Zhou Zishu was about to told hi; but when he looked down and saw the bruise on Zhang Chengling's neck, he thought, I've played pretend in the palace for over half of my life, why do I have to be polite to these aabond's uncouth behaviors in hilance at thethe hed ”What makes you think I have to answer you?”

The man's eyes twitched, hands retracted under his sleeves Apart from his birthmark whose color seemed to have become a darker shade of red, were anyone to see his hands at thatover the skin

Zhou Zishu paid no attention to the's collar and picking hiround ”Stand up, kid, don't lower your head like that”

Zhang Chengling stared at hi an additional layer of disguise
