"It's of no consequence," Junior Sister Feng replied nonchalantly, also raising her glass.
"Feng Xue, I must say, you indeed are a prodigy. How you have managed to recover your cultivation so fast is simply amazing," another voice said in praise.
"Senior Brother Ming is too kind," Feng Xue replied humbly. "It was only a stroke of fortune."
"Fortune favors the prepared," Senior Brother Long said with a smile. "Your talent and the backing of our Divine Spirit Palace have contributed much to your success."
Feng Xue grinned back, her eyes flashed with ambition. "Yes, I am thankful for the assistance of the Divine Spirit Palace. I have not forgotten the oath I swore."
The group carried on talking, with Liang as an unnoticed onlooker, his eyes fixed upon Feng Xue.
