Chapter 956: Treasured Armor (II)
In the past, when the Immortal Mirror still manifested in the world, one could probe it with spiritual sense and clearly determine the number of talisman seeds inside. But the mirror hadn’t appeared in decades. No one had seen it, and now one had to rely on incantations just to invoke it, let alone inspect talisman seeds directly...
Li Xuanxuan seemed a little troubled by this and said quietly, “Using such treasures as vessels is all well and good... but there are already so few who bear the talismans. If something ever happens and the line is suddenly severed, with none of the younger generation having received a seed, wouldn’t that mean we’ve lost the connection entirely...”
After mulling it over for a moment, he chose not to say more.
Li Zhouwei then asked, “How is Jiangqian?”
The moment this was brought up, Li Xuanxuan became visibly spirited and chuckled softly, “The child is bright and quick to learn. He’s already earned great favor from your father!”
“Oh?” Li Zhouwei still remembered the exchange with Dingjiao in the Dragon Palace and pondered silently, If what Dingjiao implied is true... then both the eldest and second sons of Bright Yang are out of the ordinary. I’ve already seen what Jiang’ao is like, so Jiangqian must be remarkable as well.
Dingjiao might not have been sincere with him, and his instructions might not reflect his true intentions, but the clues hidden in their conversation were still worth taking into account.
So he asked, “Besides that, has there been anything unusual?”
Li Xuanxuan paused briefly, then furrowed his brow, “He’s just a five-year-old child; it's hard to say much. His eyes are starting to show a hint of red within the gold... but that’s nothing serious.”
“Alright...” Li Zhouwei nodded slightly, seeming to understand. He passed over the basket of pearls.
