After sensing unusual emotions from Gray Merchant, Angel had actually begun gradually reducing his use of hypersensory perception. After all, like Supercomputing, hypersensory perception required an enormous amount of computational power and placed a tremendous burden on Angel's mental capacity.
However, Angel could not be entirely certain that the unusual emotions on Gray Merchant came from "her."

And for that very reason, when unusual emotions came from the void, he noticed them immediately.

This goodwill even surpassed the goodwill the Wise Sovereign held toward him. It was somewhat close to the degree of goodwill Black Earl had toward him.
That was already an extremely high degree of goodwill. One had to know that Black Earl's goodwill toward Angel had been built on the foundation of his old friend Rhein, and then slowly climbed higher after witnessing Angel's talents along the way.

So if it was not Xixia, who was it?
Angel signaled Ermi to continue the task. He himself hid within Ermi's body and, without betraying the slightest sign, followed the source of that goodwill with his gaze toward the void.
