Zhan Lan made it safely back to the General Mansion along the way. Once she closed the door, she suspiciously wondered: Could Granny Qi have deceived her?
Why didn't she feel like the Death Guard was following her at all?
"Miss Zhan, we are here!" A man in black stood behind her, startling Zhan Lan.
Being on high alert by nature, Zhan Lan almost kicked the man in black, sending him flying.
She halted her movements, and the man in black stepped back, saying, "Don't worry, miss. We generally will not appear near your boudoir, as the Young Master has instructed..."
Seeming to realize he was being too talkative, the man in black quickly added, "We are all on guard outside, and we will not emerge to bother the miss unless absolutely necessary!"
"Okay!" As soon as she spoke, the man in black disappeared instantly.
Zhan Lan put away the dagger in her hand and sighed in relief.
These men in black seemed very reliable.
