Li Tongyun's words may fool other new knights, but not someone like Hu Xiaoniu or Zhang Tianzhen.
No matter how she spins it, Hu Xiaoniu believes Qing Chen wouldn't let these two young girls leave Whale Island casually, given their age.
"You two are really daring," Hu Xiaoniu lamented, "And you're getting me into trouble. What if Master thinks I secretly brought you out? No way, I'll call to explain right after we get off the plane."
The "majestic" demeanor Li Tongyun had just exhibited vanished, replaced by a pitiful look: "Brother Xiao Niu, Xiao Zhenji is a knight too, she needs training. I'm not professional enough to coach her, so this is a good opportunity to learn with you during training. Brother Qing Chen has no time to teach her, and as her protector, I'm anxious."
In fact, she spoke her true feelings.
A knight's protector acts as coach, bodyguard, and confidant, all in one.
