Xuanyuan You just mentioned it casually and didn't really take it to heart. If he really cared, on the contrary, he wouldn't have spoken about it.
But Xie Jiuniang took it in.
She understood very clearly what Lord Guangcheng meant. In the Cultivation World, it was common for friends to drift apart due to the great disparity in their cultivation bases. Take the present situation for instance, the gap in cultivation base between Xie Jiuniang and Xuanyuan You spanned an entire major rank, preventing them from even wishing to enter the same secret realm together.
Xie Jiuniang used to be indifferent when it came to making friends.
She had never intentionally sought anyone's company.
Xuanyuan You counted as one of the few... fair-weather friends she had met since her rebirth?
Truly a heavy topic.
Suddenly, Xie Jiuniang laughed and said, "I think what your ancestor said was wrong. We've never been friends with common goals, but rather companions in eating, drinking, and merrymaking."
