In other words, the changes in the last five years had been extremely drastic.
Xiao Chen pressed, "What's the reason for the changes?"
The steward held up two fingers. "This information will cost you two hundred Spirit Stones."
'How annoying. It's like I'm dealing with some emotionless, money-grubbing puppet.'
Xiao Chen took out two hundred Spirit Stones, only to hear the other party's reply: "Regarding the frequent disasters, the Major Sects have yet to find a cause."
'Huh?'
'Doesn't that just translate to the classic answer: I don't know?'
Xiao Chen glared at him. "And you have the nerve to take my Spirit Stones for that?"
The steward's expression was calm. "A lack of progress is also a form of intelligence."
After a pause, he even added, "If a cause had been found, it wouldn't have cost only two hundred."
'Huh?'
'What's he trying to say by adding that?'
'Is that a jab? Who's he talking about?'
