The Cui Family Daughter recognized Chu Qing.
But she did not dare say it.
Because she understood Chu Qing. She knew this man repaid every grievance down to the smallest slight and was ferocious beyond measure.
Since he dared to suppress the followers of so many Lineages in public, he would certainly dare to suppress her as well.
Back in the prefectural city, she had stood high above him and looked down on Chu Qing.
But later, Chu Qing's strength had risen, and he suppressed all those who refused to submit.
Even then, she had actually felt pressure.

Chu Qing had silently resolved the Heaven-Connecting Path, then easily suppressed the other Heaven-Reaching Experts.

"He has no way to gain a foothold in the Imperial Capital either!"
"Otherwise, he would still be better than Gu Shentong."
"If it were Chu Qing facing this kind of provocation, even if it meant death, he would fight the other party until one of them died. He would never yield like Gu Shentong."
"His spirit is even loftier than that of any scion from the Imperial Capital's aristocratic families."
"He possesses an invincible bearing."
"He fears no challenge!"

"Then... I will tell Gu Shentong the truth."
