"I..."
"You don't need to say anything. The Status Origin—will you hand it over, or not?" Before Chen Fei could finish, Ji Jiugian directly waved a hand and cut him off.
Ji Jiugian had already recalled Chen Fei's identity the moment he saw his appearance and aura. More than two years ago, Chen Fei had been a newly promoted Realm Lord who had just joined Lingxiao Tower.
