Lu Bei was sizing up Xiang Muqing, and Xiang Muqing was sizing up Lu Bei... Zhu Xiushi, who stood beside them, got into brief contemplation before confirming his own identity.
She may not have the same elegance as Prime Minister Qinglian, but just like every flower has its bloom, she too was a beauty of unrivaled charm.
Speaking of which, Xiang Muqing was initially invited by the Ji Family of Qiyan Country to aid Wu Zhou. Her initial target wasn't the Prime Minister, but Ji Chen.
Dazzling a beauty with a mere smile proved unembarrassing.
Once she saw the Prime Minister, Ji Chen was immediately cast aside. With Zhu Xiushi in sight, she felt torn and was left standing there, undecided.
As for Lu Bei...
Xiang Muqing's gaze did not acknowledge Lu Bei, he was not even in her peripheral vision.
This was akin to how Lu Bei perceived others. For men, he'd offer a simple glance. For women, he'd scrutinize in elaborate detail as if wanting to write a thesis about them.
