Upon hearing these words, Pei Yan immediately understood what had happened. He sighed deeply, looking up at the sky, and said, "The council marriage partner is Flamel, right?"
"Exactly! The supreme leaders of the three councils chose his disciple to marry into the Holy City, and it is he who picked Lord Sifuer as his fiancée." Hel, the maid who had once fought with Xia Yu but yielded after her leg was broken, raised her head, her eyes full of reproach as she confronted Pei Yan, unfazed by the power disparity and her past fear of him.
Pei Yan knew why the other party was looking at him with such eyes. Flamel's choice of Sifuer, whom he had never met, as his fiancée was likely a vendetta against him. Though Pei Yan never had any romantic entanglement with Sifuer, rumors spread by the Demon Race had depicted their experiences as a touching love story. It was this ambiguous rumor that fueled Flamel's desire for revenge, ultimately leading to Sifuer's demise.
