Ji Dengtu lurked around furtively, looking at every beautiful woman with a perverted expression, which reminded Zu An of Kogoro Mouri from his past life.
After observing carefully for a while, he noticed that Ji Dengtu was looking at mature women more often. He stared at the wives of various family heads, but he stared at Qin Wanru the longest, almost popping his eyes out.
Zu An felt a headache coming on. Should he secretly tell his father-in-law? If he didn't, Chu Zhongtian was quite kind to him, and he would feel bad if he were really being cuckolded. But if he did tell him, Ji Dengtu hadn't really done anything. It wouldn't hurt him to see him, and he was counting on Ji Dengtu for the rest of his life. It wouldn't be wise to offend him now.
But then again, if Ji Dengtu is such a lecher, why doesn't he look at Principal Jiang? Even ignoring Principal Jiang's stunning beauty, her legs alone could drive any man crazy. Even a little kid like Wei Suo is hopelessly infatuated with her, yet Ji Dengtu seems to ignore it all.
It's strange, really. In his last request, he mentioned four women: Yu Yanluo, Shang Liuyu, Qiu Honglei, and Qin Wanru, but he didn't mention Principal Jiang at all. That shouldn't be the case, since Shang Liuyu is also from the academy, he couldn't possibly be unaware of Principal Jiang's existence.
There must be some reason for this.
"With Principal Jiang as the referee, the fairness of this competition will definitely be guaranteed." At this moment, Chu Zhongtian and others greeted Principal Jiang. Jiang Luofu was as aloof as ever, but these men were completely smitten. Their eyes were filled with eagerness, and they couldn't help but glance at her legs out of the corner of their eyes. Of course, these men were much more civilized than the others around them. After all, they were all prominent figures. Everyone else in the training ground wished they could stick their eyes into her skirt.
Among this group, Chu Zhongtian was the only one with clear eyes and no desire whatsoever, which made Jiang Luofu quite fond of his gentlemanly demeanor: "You flatter me. The Chu and Yuan families have many students from the academy. I was just doing what I was supposed to do."
...
While a group of people were exchanging pleasantries, Zu An was secretly thinking, "Looks like he's still too henpecked." Qin Wanru was watching from the side, and her father-in-law probably wouldn't dare to show the slightest abnormality.
Coward!
Zu'an felt that his father-in-law should learn from him how to manage a wife, since Chu Chuyan had declared that she didn't mind him finding other women at all.
Of course, if Chu Zhongtian knew that he was "bullying" his daughter like this, he would probably get a good beating.
"The City Lord has arrived!"
A group of people entered from the gate of the training ground. The leader was a slightly overweight middle-aged man. Although a small belly could be vaguely seen, he still looked handsome and dashing. He must have been a charming and elegant man when he was young. This should be Xie Yi, the city lord of Bright Moon City.
Xie Xiu, who had a feminine appearance, followed behind him, a faint smile always playing on her lips, causing passing women to gasp in surprise, their eyes sparkling.
Zuan suddenly felt a little envious. In terms of looks, Xie Xiu was at most on par with me, but why didn't I receive the same treatment wherever I went? Could it be that my unrestrained and unruly behavior had masked my true charm?
Bah! These women only care about appearances; they don't value my interesting soul.
shallow!
Hey, who's that beautiful woman next to Xie Xiu? Is she his new girlfriend? This guy is really lucky with women. He's always surrounded by different women, and each one of them is stunningly beautiful. This one is even prettier than all of them before.
With willow-leaf eyebrows, an oval face, a radiant complexion, and skin as white as snow, she wore a light blue shirt that accentuated her slender figure and graceful posture. A thin belt wrapped around her waist made her appear incredibly delicate and light-footed.
In terms of appearance and demeanor, she is in no way inferior to Zheng Dan and Wu Qing whom I have seen before. Unlike Wu Qing’s fiery and aggressive nature and Zheng Dan’s classical charm, her beauty is as gentle and elegant as jade. She seems to have a natural and refined temperament. When she stands there, she is as quiet and natural as an orchid in a secluded valley, and she is not concerned with worldly affairs.
A person with a wealth of knowledge naturally exudes elegance!
For some reason, these words suddenly popped into Zuan's mind.
He observed for a while before noticing that the woman's features bore a resemblance to Xie Xiu's. Just as he was marveling at this, he heard Chu Huanzhao's sullen voice: "You lecherous brother-in-law, looking at beautiful women again."
Zu An turned around and saw Chu Huanzhao staring at him angrily. He couldn't help but chuckle: "You say I'm lecherous, but aren't you lecherous too?"
"What do I like about lust?" Chu Huanzhao asked, looking puzzled.
Zuan said, "How is your staring at your brother-in-law's handsome face any different from my behavior of looking at other women?" Chu Chuyan had just gotten up to accompany her father to welcome the bigwigs from all sides. After all, she was now considered half the person in charge of the Chu family, and she had to show up in many situations.
That's why he can joke around so casually without any scruples.
"Who's staring at you?" Chu Huanzhao blushed, wishing she could run up and bite him hard.
"How do you know I'm looking at someone else when you're not staring at me?" Zu'an looked her up and down with a half-smile.
"I..." Chu Huanzhao was speechless for a moment, but she reacted quickly and found an excuse, "I just wanted to remind you that the competition is coming soon, so you should calm down and not look around."
Seeing his sister-in-law's face turn as red as an apple, Zu'an couldn't bear to tease her anymore: "I know, I know. By the way, who is that woman next to Xie Xiu?"
"She's Xie Xiu's older sister, Xie Daoyun, the most talented woman in Mingyue City. Humph, instead of cultivating properly, she spends all her time studying music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. What a waste of her time," Chu Huanzhao muttered.
