All that's left is the subsequent gathering and networking session.
Those below the Nascent Soul stage were placed in one place, while those above the Nascent Soul stage were placed in another.
"Gao Yan!"
Gao Yan had just arrived at the main hall of the gathering.
Xiahou Meng then came directly to their door.
"I've treated you well in the past, haven't I? Why did you betray me?"
"Your Highness, could we find a place to talk alone?"
Gao Yan smiled wryly.
After a slight hesitation, Xiahou Meng nodded and then gestured for Gao Yan to follow her.

"Your Highness, if you insist on criticizing me, I don't have that ability!"
Gao Yandao argued shrewdly.
"You don't have the ability?"
Xiahou Meng sneered: "Everyone underestimates you. If I'm not mistaken, you must have obtained the inheritance of some super powerful being. Don't deny it, otherwise, how could you obtain sword intent energy, and where did your alchemy furnace treasure come from!"
