Kai's heart pounded at that. Old man? Great success? So someone had cultivated this technique before. And not just anyone—someone these two revered.
Could that be why Sia is helping me? But what's her true goal? And why did the mirror spirit give me this technique to begin with…?
His face remained calm, but his mind swirled with turmoil.
Wu Jiang gave him a strange glance, then returned his focus to Sia.
"That's… uncertain. The old man vanished from the domain not long after succeeding. But… from what I saw, his personality didn't change much. He just became… more tolerable."
Sia scoffed, her voice dripping with disbelief. "Tolerable? That old man? Please."
Kai's brow furrowed slightly. Could they have known each other in the past? Not in her current state as a revenant—but before?
Wu Jiang let out a dry laugh, but didn't refute Sia's words. "Whether he was tolerable or not, he was powerful—so powerful, even that domain lord didn't dare to provoke him directly."
