The palm-sized Divine Palace in the young Huyan Shan's hand emitted a faint, fluorescent light.
Huyan Shan scratched his head.
Ever since his great-grandmaster had given it to him, he had always guarded it carefully, checking it once a day. But he'd never seen the thing glow before.
"Master, it wasn't like this before…"
Huyan Shan grew anxious, afraid he hadn't taken proper care of the object.
Bai Yuan, of course, knew the reason for the Divine Palace's change.
He stepped forward and took the Divine Palace from his disciple's hand. "You've done very well."
Huyan Shan felt a little better upon hearing his master's praise. Just as he looked up, he saw his master pull a small palace from his robes, identical to the one he'd been holding. That palace was also emitting a faint white light.
Bai Yuan stared at the two Divine Palaces in his hands, his expression complex.
