"Rest assured, I've chatted with her before coming."
Cass's question was somewhat abrupt, but Fu Qian sighed lightly, appearing to completely understand.
"Although she looks like a fortunate one, Wen Li clearly has a strong awareness that power always comes at a price."
The situation could not be more obvious, Old Master Veron is aware of the relationship between Wen Li and herself.
It's unsurprising, after all, being a veteran demigod, he belongs to the type who excels at introspection.
Though he might have a high opinion of himself, realizing something suspicious is always just a matter of time.
Wen Li indeed came by invitation, but things are undeniably coincidental.
Her promotion this time was primarily because Jade Soul Master had a profound influence on the spirits of the Linghui people.
To the extent that a group of people helped her search for the Extraordinary Path, for instance, using the title "Sufferer," they borrowed a bit of wisdom from that figure.
