Second Pocket
The first thing Ryu noticed were Edwin's Qi Stones. Of course, he wasn't as rich as Fidroha, but this could only be expected. Edwin's cultivation was not only lower, but his background should be weaker as well. If it wasn't, he would be forced to be a subordinate of Fidroha's.
Of course, aside from that, Ryu had some middling thoughts of his own. For example, Edwin's hatred of him was far too high. No matter how unreasonable the martial world was, it couldn't possibly birth a cultivator who hated a person to the bone simply for surviving one of their attacks, right?
In Ryu's opinion, this hate definitely had to do with some sort of punishment Edwin received from Fidroha. In that case, Fidroha's standing was definitely far higher than his, or else she wouldn't dare to treat him in this way.
