Li Xuantong had no idea what changes had occurred in Lu Yuan.
Both subjective and objective factors had contributed equally to this outcome.
From a subjective standpoint—
Lu Yuan was undoubtedly an old monster in his thirties or forties. At least, that was how Li Xuantong saw him. A Three-Rank Supreme in his thirties or forties could indeed be considered qualified, in a sense.
