Su Fengchen thought what the monk said was true. He knew his niece would one day spread her wings and soar like a phoenix rising from its ashes. Neither the villagers nor townsfolk would be able to keep up with Su Binglan then.
The monk also said Su Binlan was the ordinary folks' lucky star. Su Fengchen became conflicted at that thought.
Su Binglan noticed her uncle's strange gaze and touched her face. Then she asked, "I-Is there something on my face, Uncle Fengchen?"
Only then did Su Fengchen realize his niece had distracted him. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "I-It's nothing. I just think you're a competent person, Binglan."
Su Binglan did not overthink it. She only thought her uncle was complimenting her, so she said smilingly, "You're too kind, Uncle Fengchen."
The two were talking when Old Master Su and Old Madam Su returned.
