Lin Ruxue's uncharacteristic remark left the sect leaders, used to being bossed around by her, unsure of how to respond. The atmosphere became quite awkward without anyone chiming in, and seeing this, Pei Yan stepped forward to ease the situation: "Has no one here ever dined with the Spirit Lord? Well, I must be superior to you all in this regard. The first time I met the Spirit Lord, she gifted me a fish. Later, we even had breakfast together at Yirong Pavilion."
"Hmph, at least you have a little gratitude! If it weren't for my fish back then, you'd have disappeared without a trace! I meddled too much and ruined Jun Zhao's plan. It would have been better to let her take your body, and we'd have one less troublemaker today." Lin Ruxue snorted coldly, looking at Pei Yan with a mocking gaze.
"Oh, come now! Without me, who would handle all the affairs for you?" Pei Yan grinned and echoed her words.
