Behind Xiao Chen, Xiao Yingxue's expression also changed subtly as she closely watched the woman in white.
She and Xiao Chen met Shangguan Mingyue in the Cultivation World, but the current Shangguan Mingyue was entirely different from before.
"Xiao Chen, meeting an old acquaintance, though you're smiling, you've clearly grown distant!" Shangguan Mingyue sighed softly.
"Indeed, an old acquaintance remains an old acquaintance, but I can't tell if you're an enemy or a friend!" Xiao Chen replied.
"Why do you say that?" Shangguan Mingyue's tone was gentle, as if untouched by the mortal world, without sorrow or joy, "Last time, I intervened to protect Xia Shiyun so you could focus on dealing with Fate's Nine Heaven Division. Doesn't that show where I stand?"
"That time, your help wasn't needed; I could have handled those lowly ones myself!" Xiao Chen said.
