Contrary to Pei Yan's guess, the conference of refuge controllers held on the fourth day actually wasn't held in any refuge but was set in the plains within the newly conquered Napas Valley. One reason was that the people were skeptical of the message from Sifuer contributing the Disaster Territory and needed to inspect the site themselves. Another reason was to encourage mutual suspicion among the controllers, making this neutral location more suitable.
As guests invited by the initiator Sifuer, Pei Yan and his party arrived early at the conference venue following the host. Watching the long tables set up under long canopies on the cleared grassland and the busy maids running back and forth, Pei Yan casually grabbed a fruit from a maid that looked like an apple but was similar to a plum. He took one bite, juice filling his mouth, and then handed the plate to his sister beside him, saying, "Sis, try this. It's quite good."
