Tan Xiucheng was aghast, hurriedly lowering his eyes, not daring to meet Changfan's gaze again.
Changfan nonchalantly averted his gaze and said coldly, "She is the Dao companion I have acknowledged. It is improper to stare. Surely you understand that?"
Tan Xiucheng's face turned beet red. He stammered, "I understand... it's just... she is simply too breathtakingly beautiful. This junior truly couldn't help himself, so I looked a few more times..."
He was trying his best to explain, but he only made things worse with every word. Elder Tan was so furious his face went rigid and deathly pale, his beard trembling uncontrollably.
Changfan's expression remained impassive. He said flatly, "If you truly wish to see her so much, then you may kneel at the foot of Liuxian Peak for a year or two. When I bring her down the mountain, you might be able to catch a glimpse of her."
"..." Tan Xiucheng shuddered, burying his head even lower.
