"Hmm, I understand I understand." Xalian nodded vigorously and giggled behind her hand. "It must be quite overwhelming to suddenly find out that your childhood friend has become someone important, isn't it? Especially since you're both followers of the goddess, and she became a priestess, while you're still a novice."
Yu Chen was about to make some counter argument, but she held her tongue, not able to come up with a single word.
