Old Friends

Sensing the frustration in Xu You's tone, Shen Mengqi replied calmly, "He's just a childhood playmate and an old friend. Without a spirit root, he can't cultivate and is unlike us. You don't have to bother about him."

"So, it's just a mere commoner. I was wondering what sort of a character he was."

Xu You raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "This Su Zimo clearly knows that you've joined Iridescent Clouds Palace and became a cultivator. Despite that, he dares to bully your brother?"

Shen Mengqi shook her head. "Forget it, it's all in the past. Besides, it might not be his fault either."

Even though Shen Nan made himself seem innocent while explaining the story and mentioned how Su Zimo was the one bullying others, Shen Mengqi was well aware of her brother's character.

Furthermore, the way Shen Nan was avoiding her gaze affirmed her guess that there was more to things.

"How can that do!"
