S themselves to the whole picture like pieces of a puzzle within Daniel'sa few essential parts In order to understand exactly in what kind situation he had fallen into, he needed to finish learning the language as soon as possible

Before he could go back to delving into the minds of the weak cultivators that inhabited the city, however, Daniel felt a gent hand grab his wrist

When he turned around, Daniel noticed the wo The woe She earing a new dress of fair quality, and on her body there were no traces of injuries On her face she wore expressions of gratitude and relief

After finallyhis attention, the woe

There was no need for Daniel to know the language to understand what the wo, nor was he surprised to see her in that healthy condition After all, when he had kicked her off stage, he had injected into her body large a essence

The reason why he had kicked her was so that his interference would not s worse for this woman in the future He only wanted to appear like a talented young eeven at the cost of interrupting the spar between her and the arrogant wo their faant woman, her family, or any of the observers to think that he had any connection with her

For the following twoto talk over the buzz of chatter, but in the end, Daniel's coe was still too basic for him to understand So he moved his hand away, and dismissed the woman with a casual nod of his head, hich he hinted that what she had been thanking hi deal for hientle hold, and disappeared fro through the thousands of people that were still ht of stairs
