A dragon soared among the mountains, riding the clouds and navigating the mist. This was either a figment of someone's imagination or a genuinely strange occurrence in the mountains. The land of Yu State had been remarkable since ancient times. Now that Spiritual Energy was recovering, the emergence of a dragon might indeed be possible.

Song Ningran thanked Qin Heng.

Qin Heng accompanied Qin Yun to school.
