In the main hall, when Fang Qingyuan saw Chu Hongshang making no effort to hide her feelings, he knew she simply couldn't be bothered to put on an act in front of him and Lechuan.
Just moments ago, in front of Nangong Zhi, Chu Hongshang had been like a different person. This wasn't a matter of playing favorites so much as it was about treating people according to their station.
After receiving the Blood Phoenix Tail Feather, Chu Hongshang admired it for a long moment before instructing Chu Shen to negotiate with Lechuan. She then took the feather and eagerly hurried into the rear hall, apparently to begin the refinement process.
After Chu Hongshang left, Fang Qingyuan felt an inexplicable void in his heart. He didn't know why he was feeling this way.
'I'm not the type to get weak in the knees over a pretty face,' Fang Qingyuan thought. 'Even if Chu Hongshang is beautiful, she shouldn't be affecting me this way.'
