"In this world, nothing is taken for granted."
Chu Yanli shook her head, her expression earnest as she said, "Many boast of loyalty and righteousness in this world, yet while wealth is easy to obtain, a true heart is hard to find. Elder Zhong treats me sincerely, and I am truly grateful... I should be the one paying respects to Elder Zhong."
With that said, she simply bowed deeply to Zhong Lihe.
Lu Shuangge, standing nearby, sighed while shaking his head upon witnessing this scene.
One could point their finger at the emperor and curse angrily, yet also bow before a "servant" without hesitation; their actions come from the heart, completely unabashed... Perhaps that is why they are willing to serve the Princess so loyally?
Am I not the same?
"Your Highness..."
Zhong Lihe's voice was slightly trembling.
Having guarded this Heavenly Martial Arena for many years, the accumulated vexations in his heart suddenly vanished completely.
