As Fang Yuan listened to Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, a wave of discomfort surged within him. He had subconsciously claimed the two women as his own, along with all the benefits they could offer.
Yet now, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning were actually offering benefits to Jiang Chen, someone Fang Yuan deeply disliked. How could he feel anything but upset?
For the time being, however, Fang Yuan had no choice but to suppress these feelings.
What other options did he have?
Would he abruptly cut ties with Jiang Chen?
If Fang Yuan were to do so, wouldn't Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning likely see through his motives?
While Fang Yuan was wallowing in his frustration, an elated Jiang Chen, thrilled about his first successful interaction with Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, glanced at the Soul Embodying Ring on Fang Yuan's finger and expressed, "My deepest gratitude to the two seniors. I feel unworthy of your generosity, yet I have too much respect to decline."
