Mingyu stood atop a hill, gazing down at the serene lake that sparkled like a shard of fallen sky. The water's edge lapped gently against the hill's slope, creating a eye-catching sight. It was simply breathtaking.

But that wasn't what Mingyu was paying attention to. Instead, he was lost, deep in his thoughts.

He remembered the one time, when the Yewang, who now happens to be Yan Jianyu, had brought him to this same place years ago.

That was when he taught him the Dragon-Scale Ritual, and he had brought him to the lake, saying that he wanted to show him the origin of the spell.
