Their robes seemed similar, yet he narrowed his eyes on a minor detail.
’Some have more golden dragons embroidered than the others.’ His eyes darted to their faces. ’Is it related to their age?’
He shook his head as three dragons fluttered on a twelve-year-old boy’s robes.
’The guards were in their twenties but only had two.’ A furrow creased his brows. ’Their cultivation realm, then? But isn’t it tedious to request new ones every few months? Anyway, I haven’t seen anyone with over four yet. But it makes sense.’

It wasn’t solely because of the third trial or his regrets anymore. Instead, they had forged a new relationship based on warmth, trust and... many eye-rolling moments, especially with the playful but gentle cow.
