Chapter 742: Information
What were spiritual roots? What was talent? Different people and different sects all had their own standards and interpretations.
For example, among the one hundred and nine masters back then, one hundred and eight had once praised Li Xiaofei’s innate talent and spiritual roots. Only one thought he was a piece of crap. But when Li Xiaofei asked those one hundred and eight masters what exactly was so good about his spiritual roots, the answers they gave were all different.
However, the first time Li Xiaofei laid eyes on Ishihara Masami, a single word emerged in his heart.
Spiritual roots.
This girl had extraordinary spiritual roots. The mysterious and profound ‘aura’ seemed as if it was about to burst forth from the top of her head, exuding a brilliance unlike anything Li Xiaofei had ever seen.
A Jiepeng native, and yet, her talent was shockingly outstanding. Li Xiaofei was genuinely surprised. However, he quickly withdrew his gaze and turned to Kojirō, saying, “Do you know about Eden? Have you ever heard of Angrus?”
Kojirō shook his head. Then, as if recalling something, he quickly nodded and said, “We received intelligence related to the exchange conference and are aware that Takano Kumagawa is connected to Eden, but I swear upon the honor of the Sword Sect, we truly do not know anything more related to this.”
Li Xiaofei could tell that this old man, already nearing the end of his life, was not lying.
“I want everything on Takano Kumagawa. All the information, including every movement he’s made over the years,” said Li Xiaofei.
Kojirō immediately went to carry out the order. He didn’t dare show the slightest trace of defiance in front of this man.
Meanwhile, Ishihara Masami curiously examined Li Xiaofei. Kojirō’s behavior made the young girl extremely intrigued. Since her status had previously been insufficient, she hadn’t known anything about what had happened at the exchange conference in Jinshi City.
Jiepeng’s crushing defeat had been unacceptable to the higher-ups in the government and as a result, all information related to the exchange had been blocked domestically.
