บท 2095: Humiliation

There was something different at play here, something hidden in the shadows that couldn't be explained in just a few words. But even after thinking about it for a long while, Ryu couldn't quite grasp what it was. 

Why was it that the Ancestor of the Heavenly Court could see through his status as a Chosen, but Ryu himself, despite having eyes tailor-made to pierce through Fate and Kharma, could not? 

Could it be that it was akin to observing someone's cultivation, something that was less of an exact science and more based on feel and experience? 

Ryu didn't believe that. Not because it wasn't possible that it could be true, but rather because it didn't matter even if it was. If that was the case, he would have certainly figured it out by now.
