Fake? Impossible? How could the Empress give me something fake?
Lin Yi, unconvinced, handed the Nine-Eyed Sky Bead to Ying Yi.
"Tell me, what does it mean for it to 'awaken'? And the Empress – what status does she hold? How could she give me something fake; doesn't she care about losing face?"
Ying Yi gently caressed the Nine-Eyed Sky Bead, indeed something from the Empress was different; this bead emitted a naturally formed power that instilled reverence in her yet it had not 'awakened', which puzzled her.
Then Ying Yi ventured a bold guess: this isn't a real Nine-Eyed Sky Bead, but still a rare treasure.
Lin Yi felt somewhat disappointed but still held onto hope.
"What does it take for it to 'awaken'?"
"Master once said, awakening means all nine little circular 'eyes' on the bead light up and emit a white glow. Only then is it considered awakened."
