The mana stone glowed pure white, so bright it bathed the entire courtyard in shimmering light.
Mu Qing gasped softly and nearly dropped the stone.
Fang Lian leaned forward, stunned.
"Master… why is it white? Is it another abnormal root like mine?"
Fang Yuan gave her a look before internally speaking to himself,
Kid… yours was blue. A literal divine root. You don't get that every century.
He coughed into his hand to hide the twitch at the corner of his mouth.
"Ahem. No," Fang Yuan said aloud.
"This means he's… very talented. In fact, he's also a bright future cultivator."
He shot a glance at Mu Qing, then smirked quietly.
"Doctor Mu really gave me another gem, huh…"
Fang Lian tilted her head.
"Doctor Mu?"
Fang Yuan shrugged lightly, amused.
"Yes, My Qing here is the doctor's grandson."
Fang Lian froze for a second before her expression suddenly shifting.
"How's the doctor? Is he alright?"
Mu Qing nodded politely.
"Grandpa is fine."
Fang Lian blinked.
