Huayue and Zirong also had expressions of sheer coldness on their faces. As guards, they were considered servants of the Mu Family, and Mu Chengxuan's words were like slandering them as well.
Mu Hanyan's heart chilled too. The Holy Court Continent had a strict social hierarchy, and the notion of rank was extremely strong, just as it was among swordsmen and among noble families. Compared to the Capital, however, Heishi City was located in a more remote area, and its local customs were much simpler. Mu Hanyan, who had been left to her own devices by her parents since she was young, didn't have such a strong sense of class distinction.
Take Huayue and Zirong, for example; although they were officially guards, she regarded them as friends in her heart, and even as companions she could entrust with her life in dangerous times.
Mu Chengxuan's words not only shamed Aunt Xiu and her daughter but also insulted Huayue and Zirong.
