Seeing that Fang Zhou had guests over, Yu Qing and Wu Lin didn't linger; they left after a short stay.
Before leaving, Yu Qing affectionately reached out to tidy Fang Zhou's clothes. Although his clothes were not disheveled, she still did it—for her, it was an act to declare sovereignty to the other two.
Yu Qing would never have done such a thing in front of others in the past; she would blush just holding hands with Fang Zhou in private. But now, she could do it naturally.
This shift in attitude happened so quickly that even Yu Qing herself was surprised.
She wasn't sure when this change started, perhaps after returning from the capital of Chu Kingdom?
Fang Zhou had already advanced to the Innate stage, but Yu Qing was still in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Although she knew Fang Zhou wouldn't look down on her because of a lower level, she felt an overwhelming urgency, fearing she might be left behind.
