The moment those words were spoken.
Everyone's gazes converged on Su Changge.
More than shock and horror, their eyes were filled with confusion and incomprehension.
Given the circumstances from before,
Shen Xi's status within the Divine Court had already suffered a massive blow, and could even be said to be far inferior to what it had been before.
But even so, Shen Xi was still, at least on the surface, the Divine Daughter of the Divine Court.
Su Changge's words
were no different from digging away at the Divine Court's foundations in public, were they?
"Brother Changge Dao?"
Shen Xi was clearly caught completely off guard upon hearing those words.
But after recovering her senses, Shen Xi gently shook her head and directly declined Su Changge's goodwill.
Why call it goodwill?
Because Su Changge had previously said that she could join in her personal capacity.
To put it plainly, even if she joined the Eternal Heavenly Court, it would only be a connection between herself and the Eternal Heavenly Court.
It would have nothing whatsoever to do with the Divine Court behind her.
He was deliberately trying to help her.
After all, anyone with eyes could see it now.
If she dared return to the Divine Court, her ending would not be pleasant. She would surely suffer a tremendous punishment.
Su Changge's actions were no different from trying to help her escape this punishment.
"Thank you for your goodwill, Brother Changge Dao."
Shen Xi respectfully bowed toward Su Changge.
"Shen Xi is still a person of the Divine Court."
"Though the Divine Court's elders are dissatisfied with what Shen Xi has just done,"
"they have still shown Shen Xi the grace of nurturing and raising her."
"Please forgive Shen Xi for being unable to accept Brother Changge Dao's goodwill."
