"Startled, Passive Value +1."
He had truly been startled, but at the same time, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly lost all desire to keep investigating.
If even this could be altered...
First, Dao Qiongchang's Way of Memory had surely reached the extreme realm. He was but a hair's breadth away from being sealed as a god and crowned as an ancestor.
