Hearing the name, Feng Mountain couldn't help but scoff internally.
'That six-foot-three useless oaf.'

The look made Feng Mountain feel utterly exposed, as if he were standing naked under a spotlight, completely ill at ease.
He subconsciously opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but before he could speak, Lady Penny gently patted Jenny's hand, a weary smile on her face.
