Once it was decided what was to be done, the patriarch called Qing Zhangru into the room so that Alex and the rest could be shown to their rooms, where they could rest and work.
"What about Lainie, Patriarch? You called for her, and she's waiting outside," Qing Zhangru said.
"Ah! I nearly forgot about that," the patriarch exclaimed. "Call her in."
Before Alex and the rest could say anything, the doors opened and Pearl's grandmother walked into the hall with a strange expression on her face.
Her eyes fell on Pearl, and a Divine sense washed over him. Immediately, the dragon's eyes went wide in what Alex could only call a pleasant surprise.
"So it's true," she said in quite an excited tone. "You really have awakened your bloodline."
Pearl looked around, somewhat confused and hesitating. "Grandmother," he said softly.
"How did you do it?" she asked.
