Caution is the Parent of Safety

After satisfying the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's curiosity, Leon shifted his attention back to Darlene. 

He could see that she was struggling with a decision.

That in and of itself was enough evidence that she had indeed experienced something strange during her Transcendence. 

"Did you awaken a god and devil soul fragment, Darlene?" he asked. 

He felt it was the only plausible explanation for her cultivation reaching the Late-stage of Preliminary Accession during her Transcendence. 

When Darlene heard his question, her eyes widened with surprise.

"How did you know about that?" she asked, silently admitting that was indeed the case.

Leon rubbed her head with a smile before saying, "You're underestimating me too much, Darlene. I can't say I know everything, but I definitely know a lot of things."
