Qiao Chu led a group of nuns, holding trays brimming with Spirit Fruit, Spiritual Tea, and various uniquely flavored pastries.

Qiao Chu smiled and sat down behind Ni Shengnan.

"The west... Why would the Holy See want to refuse!?"

With a faint smile, Ni Shengnan said, "Because I have already promised you."
