"I don't recall having any meeting scheduled with you today."
As Lin Feng's words fell, the attention of every woman in the room shifted toward her.
Six pairs of eyes. All watching. All assessing. Huo Mian felt the pressure instantly.
"I…"
Her lips parted, yet no words came out.
For the first time since arriving, hesitation surfaced in her expression.
For a few breaths, the room remained silent.
Then her gaze hardened. The hesitation in her eyes vanished, replaced by determination.
"I have come back to fulfill my part of the deal, Mentor Lin Feng."
Her voice, though not loud, carried a firm and unwavering resolve.
Before anyone could react, she took a step forward… Then another…
And suddenly, she dropped to her knees.
The sound of her knees hitting the ground echoed clearly within the quiet room.
Without the slightest pause, she lowered her body, bowing deeply until her forehead touched the floor in complete submission.
"Your servant… is here to serve you."
