Although the identity of Youmeng was unknown, through the observant performances, it was evident that everyone generally regarded Youmeng as superior to all other beings.
They looked down on Lin Suqing yet fawned over Youmeng. However, in Youmeng's view, Lin Suqing was someone qualified to converse with her. So, if one must make a comparison, weren't these "people" denigrating themselves even as they complimented Youmeng?
