Amidst the awe, surprise, and reverence, the only thought that entered Ximen Hao's mind was that the graceful woman before him, the target of his admiration, seemed to be far beyond his reach.
Even though he always boasted about how noble and wealthy the Ximen Clan was, in the face of raw power, his wealth and status amounted to nothing.
Comparing the Ximen Clan to a hidden ancient sect, especially one that dated back to the Demonic Dominance Era, was like comparing a rogue asteroid to a sun.
This made Ximen Hao realize the gap between himself and the graceful woman before him. However, as the saying goes, a true man is never afraid of challenges. He needed to learn more about his target and see if there were any opportunities he could make use of.
Thus, Ximen Hao decided to observe first. After he gathered a sufficient amount of information, he would then decide how to proceed.
