"Of course. The Moon Palace is full of heroines," Ling Yunxiao said with a laugh.
"So everyone learned of that ranking. And as long as the Moon Palace exists, that ranking will remain."

Chen Xiaojun asked in confusion, "Wait, if they changed the rules because of the Moon Palace, and its Martial Soul Fusion Skill ranks third, shouldn't everyone also know which skills ranked first and second back then?"

"That
