"Thefirstdaywecamehere,thatoldtigeralreadyknew.Itcouldfeelthatyouareexceptionalandseenthroughsomesignsofmybackground.AfteryouenteredtheTianYaoCave,thatoldtigercametofindme."

SuTianQuesaid,roughlytellingSuYiaboutthesituation.

ItturnedoutwhenSuYiandSuTianQueenteredtheAncientSpiritVillage,theHonourablyDemonhadknownaboutitdistinctivelyandhadbeensecretlyobservingthem.
