Grace of Recognition

"I? A prodigy?"

Zhe Liang's expression became even more dumbfounded, his mouth gaping as if it could accommodate an egg.

"My lord, are you mistaken?"

Zhe Liang, with a sense of self-awareness, pondered why he faced constant suppression within the Abyssal Clan.

Wasn't it because he was deemed worthless?

Being a half-human, half-demon without any innate talent in Abyssal Clan skills made him scorned by all members of the clan.

But how could he dare to believe that the Queen, whom he barely knew, would call him a prodigy?

Gu Lan smiled faintly, shaking her head.

"If I say you are, then you are."

"Prodigies possess profound destinies. I excel in the Qi-Insighting Technique of the Tianji Pavilion. Your fate and talents, I can discern at a glance. As for your current predicament, it's merely a gem obscured by dust."

Gu Lan chose to speak this way to provide Zhe Liang with a reasonable explanation, helping him rebuild his shattered confidence.
