And yet…
Mentor Lin Feng had just casually referred to her as his maid.
Several middle-aged cultivators exchanged stunned glances.
"Did I hear that correctly?"
"You did."
"That's absurd. The Li Clan would never allow such humiliation."
"Unless… she agreed to it herself?"
"Or perhaps the elders of her clan pushed for this to happen."
People were not foolish. It did not take much for them to put two and two together.
That possibility made their hearts tremble even more.
Their gazes subtly shifted toward Li Zhiyan, who stood quietly behind Lin Feng.
Her posture was straight, her expression calm and composed.
There was no trace of embarrassment or anger on her face. In fact, she made no move to deny it.
That silence spoke louder than words.
The younger students were already whispering among themselves.
"Is this some kind of cultivation technique?"
"Maybe serving him is part of some secret training?"
"Or maybe Mentor Lin Feng's charm is just that terrifying…"
