That was right. After all these years, Chi Xue had gained some understanding of the Lord of the Universe. He knew that under normal circumstances, the Lord of the Universe would never concern himself with the mundane affairs of the God Realm, including whether Ling Tian gave Yu Ying a Phoenix Soul Fruit.
