After poring over the details several times, he finally realized something was amiss.
This Zuo Qiu seemed immutable at all times, a person whose inner confidence was powerfully extreme, inscrutable.
When he spoke to Ashimo, his eyes conveyed a naturalness akin to the air itself, complete with contempt for everything, an attitude that belittled all lifeforms.
However...
When he spoke to Ashi Liren, his gaze continually fell low, fixed on the ground.
Indeed, he never once looked at Ashi Liren directly, let alone met her gaze.
This was not normal, was it because of Ashi Liren's beauty that he dared not look her in the eye?
Impossible, a person like Zuo Qiu could remain unflustered even if mountains crumbled before him, let alone facing a peerless beauty.
Or perhaps, he considered himself a recluse of high virtue, regarding beauty as nothing but dry bones, unworthy of his attention?
