Chapter 43: Ambiguity

Chapter 65: Dazzling Azure
Earlier, all the elders tested had either lower or middle-grade talents. No one expected that the very first child up for testing would surprise Chen Xiao.He couldn’t help but ask Xi Yunqing, “How’s that kind of talent?”Xi Yunqing’s lips curved faintly as he replied, “So long as he’s n...
