Chapter 332: Chapter 199: Shangri-La

Sugao Takashi appeared to be in his sixties, with a face full of wrinkles, long and grizzled hair and beard, and looked quite pale, but his eyes were round, pure, and full of spirit, and he spoke with substance, clearly showing profound knowledge. Moreover, his demeanor was friendly, lacking any sense of superiority despite the title of 'Master' and he did not come off as a charlatan.

At least, to Kiyomi Liuli's senses, Master Sugao really seemed like a man who had cultivated his way in the wilderness, devoid of any mundane aura, not appearing as the kind of person who would indiscriminately harm others. The mysterious disappearance of Daiseki Otake likely had nothing to do with him.

It's also no wonder that he had so many followers—he indeed possessed a charismatic personality and depth of thought.
