While the matter was thus settled,
He Song subsequently received notifications from both parties.
Meng Guan and Wei Fan had indeed looked after An Ning,
but they hadn't made it too apparent.
They merely used their relationship with An Ning to have the cultivators from Wind Snow Palace place her in a position where she would not be directly involved in the war.
After having done so, An Ning and the pair of Meng Guan and Wei Fan each found a pretext to spread a certain message.
Both parties publicly stated that it was because of a common good friend that they had shown such consideration.
Before this,
the two parties had not known each other at all.
And as such,
to outsiders, this became an interesting tale.
A True Inheritance Disciple from Sun Faction actually made friends with an elder from Wind Snow Palace.
And this friend of both parties, upon learning that they were involved in this war,
even took the initiative to introduce the two friends to each other.
