In the town.
Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei were just walking on the street.
The townspeople cast curious glances their way, and some of the bolder ones even began to discuss, "No wonder Lord Chu doesn't fancy the girls from our town. Compared to the lady next to Lord Chu, our local girls just can't hold a candle."
"What kind of person is Lord Chu? Such a young arrest officer who will one day become a Martial General and a Prefect—only those brainless ones from our town would fancy they could become kin with Lord Chu. Would he even spare a glance for your daughters?"
"Only someone like that lady is worthy of Lord Chu."
"Of course, don't forget that apart from being handsome and strong, Lord Chu is also 'impressive' in another aspect."
The townsfolk's comments made Chu Ning's mouth twitch uncontrollably; with the strength he and Tang Ruowei possessed, they could clearly hear every word the people whispered even at lowered volumes.
"Tch!"
