In the exact center of the top floor of the Aura Gazing Tower sat a white-haired, elderly man—none other than the Director of the Astronomical Bureau and Qin Jin'er's maternal grandfather. Seated cross-legged before him were a young man and a young woman: Qin Jin'er and Yelin, who had come to visit by invitation.
The old Director began, speaking slowly: "Ever since the kid Yelin became the Prince Butcher, the national aura of our Great Qin has grown much denser and more stable. Over the past few months, it has been steadily increasing. A month ago, after Princess Ziyan refined the Crown Prince's Seal, the golden scales of Great Qin's Aura Dragon began to shimmer with golden light. The Aura Dragon grew even denser, its form no longer illusory—even a cultivator just beginning to learn the art of aura gazing can now catch a glimpse of it."
"This also indicates that we are one step closer to the Aura Dragon advancing from four toes to four toes. At the same time, it shows that your eye for talent is exceptional, young man. Princess Ziyan was born extraordinary, possessing the bearing of a female emperor; she is the foundation of Great Qin's restoration."
