Mainly, Xu Zimei's appearance truly startled that Daoist.
Even though the Daoist was just deep in thought, his perception was impeccable.
If anyone approached him, he could detect it instantly.
But not like Xu Zimei, who came without the slightest notice; if Xu Zimei hadn't spoken, the Daoist wouldn't have noticed anything at all.
The Daoist looked at Xu Zimei, his gaze full of caution.
Anyone who can approach him silently is definitely not an ordinary person.
Yet Xu Zimei's face was unfamiliar, seemingly someone the Daoist had never seen before.
The Daoist's occupational habit seemed to kick in, as he began calculating Xu Zimei's origins with an abacus.
This calculation quickly proved significant.
As the abacus moved, not long after, a "boom" echoed.
A bolt of Heavenly Thunder descended from above, striking the Daoist directly.
With eyes filled with shock, the Daoist quickly placed the abacus over his head.
