When Lin Yi walked by their side, he only offered a very gentle smile:
"Night has fallen; find a spot to rest for a bit. I'll keep watch for you if anything comes up."
This statement left the little palace maids frozen in astonishment.
In all the years they had been in the palace, when had they ever enjoyed such treatment?
Which eunuch or palace maid of any rank didn't just summon and dismiss them with a flick of the hand?
Who ever regarded them as individuals.
Especially that warm smile on Eunuch Lin's face just now, it was something no other eunuch ever possessed.
They truly recognized the difference between Eunuch Lin and the other eunuchs.
Eunuch Lin exuded a charm that they found very approachable.
He also didn't carry that sinister aura common amongst other eunuchs.
He gently patted the stunned little palace maid and then walked ahead.
