Lord Liu's eyes revealed a hint of pride!
Xiqiu stepped aside and looked at Tong Shen Zhi and Xu Tianqing. She saw Xu Tianqing walking quietly beside Tong Shen Zhi, listening intently to others with a smile on his face. What surprised her was Tong Shen Zhi's expression. Although it wasn't as pleasant as Xu Tianqing's, it was different from the rigidness he showed at home. Instead, he bore an expression similar to the First Master's, with humble and approachable manners, yet an aloof demeanor that garnered respect.
She marveled at how, whether it was a gentleman like the First Master, a shrewd official like the Second Master, or a strict scholar like Tong Shen Zhi—anyone who could stand firm in officialdom had their own unique way of dealing with people and things!
The group chatted as they walked out of the courtyard.
