The person inside seemed to choke on the remark, saying irritably, "Ahem, I think it's because you find him handsome!"
"Father! What are you talking about! I'm face-blind; I have no idea what's handsome and what isn't!" Shangguan Qingrou retorted, displeased.
"Alright, alright, alright! You're face-blind! But let me be clear: if his abilities fall short, you'd better not harm him."
"I know!"

The crowd that had surrounded the Embroidery Pavilion, three layers deep, finally realized what had happened. Then, the air filled with curses.
"Damn it, which blind dog dared to compete with me?!"
