Wan Xiaolou's intelligence had been evident to Hou Yuxiao in the broken temple in Yunye county.
An orphan abducted at a young age to serve as a human stake at Divine Sound Sect, who had become deaf and was subsequently cast out, had no connections but managed not only to master lip-reading but also to learn a move or two enough to become a Martial Artist. That was already quite extraordinary.
He had only stayed in the broken temple for five or six days, yet he had realized that Hou was the Divine Sound Sect's assassin. Knowing full well that Hou was a Grandmaster, he still dared to straightforwardly request to become his disciple, which showed remarkable courage.
And later, by using his beggars to impersonate him and cause chaos in Yunye county, he created an opportunity for him to kill Helian Wuji. The ability to achieve so much with so little highlighted his strategic and planning abilities, which were far beyond those of ordinary people.
