“Miss, the planks are all prepared, why do we need to lift a finger? We can just carry them to the swamp tomorrow morning. Don’t bother us so late at night.” Xiao Huan and Xiao Yuan protested at the same time.
Li Tianlin stated directly that he did not want to enter the swamp, as it was too dangerous and he was afraid.
"Tsk, look how scared you are. You must remember that you are now a member of the General's Mansion. People of the General's Mansion must be bold. I'll let it go this time, but you're not allowed to back down next time." Zhang Xiantao said earnestly, and finally patted him on the shoulder.

"If you scream again, I'll poison you until you're mute." Zhu Lin's cold, clear voice drifted into Zhang Xiantao's ears.
"I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep." Zhang Xiantao was very good at reading people's expressions and knew who she could offend and who she couldn't afford to offend.
