Shen Zheyan was stunned when she saw Jun Zishu's foreign behavior, her heart becoming a mess. She couldn't believe that the girl who had been so intimate with her only a moment ago could change so drastically in the blink of an eye.

In Shen Zheyan's mind, Jun Zishu was an innocent, cute, and enthusiastic girl. Yet, the Jun Zishu in front of her currently looked at everyone around her with a calm and contemptuous expression.

Moreover, the truth Jun Zishu revealed also surprised Shen Zheyan.

Even though they were seemingly standing on opposing factions now due to their identities, Shen Zheyan still firmly believed in Jun Zishu's words. Even though she knew that Jun Zishu was a little liar, she still couldn't help but trust in the girl's words.

"How do you know if I did it?"

"You're the Demon Cult's Witch. Isn't your presence here evidence enough?" the Palace Lord said, snorting in disdain.

"She doesn't have an invitation of her own. She is only attending the banquet with me," Shen Zheyan expressionlessly said, moving her gaze away from Jun Zishu. At this moment, her body also radiated a chilling aura.

Jun Zishu glanced at Shen Zheyan, the smile on her face gradually disappearing.
