The West Empress followed his gaze and scoffed. "Are you picking a disciple or choosing a concubine?"
"I just happened to pick the prettiest one!" To avoid exposing his relationship with Xia Chaoge, Jiang Fan smiled faintly. "Everyone appreciates beauty. Since I have to guide someone regardless, why not choose someone pleasing to the eye?"
The West Empress simply smiled, raising her hand to erase Xia Chaoge's profile. "Pick another one. You don't have a chance with her."
"Oh?" Jiang Fan asked. "Why do you say that?"
"Many have wanted to guide her, but she rejected them all," the West Empress replied.
Jiang Fan pondered for a moment and came to a sudden realization. How could someone as outstanding as Xia Chaoge not attract attention? Yet, she was still on the waiting list for guidance. Besides, she had Linglong, an Eight-winged Archangel, as a sister; she certainly wasn't lacking guidance from an unfamiliar Great Angel.
