Facing Shayina's query, Aex softly said, "Stop is my most important friend."
Upon hearing Aex's reply, Shayina seemed to understand something: "So, you also participated in this attack?"
Aex opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to argue but hesitated for a second and fell silent.
Aex's lack of rebuttal was seen as a tacit agreement by Shayina.
Initially, Shayina had hoped to befriend Aex, but now she felt fortunate that she hadn't yet drawn Aex in, otherwise she would have lost face and integrity.
"Shayina, do you know him?" Elder Shu, who hadn't seen Aex before, asked curiously after hearing Shayina's conversation with Aex.
"I've met him, I originally thought he was a White Wizard," Shayina nodded and said.
"White Wizard?" Stop suddenly interrupted, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile: "Only foolish people differentiate Wizards as black or white based on good or bad. Oh, wait, even if you don't differentiate by good or bad, you're still foolish."
