After resting for a few minutes, Yuan recovered enough energy to move.
"Then I will leave for now. The next time I see you, I should have some new information regarding the situation." Yuan said to the Lord.
The Lord nodded, "I will keep inspecting the formation and notify you if there are any changes."
"Liya, take him back to his house." The Lord said to her as Yuan made his way down the mountain.
As they walked down the mountain, Yuan suddenly asked Liya, "Hey, why do you hate humans?"
"Why do you want to know? It's none of your business." Liya sneered.
After a moment of silence, Yuan mumbled, "Is it because humans hunted your kind in the past?"
"What did you say…?" Liya halted her movements and stared at him with wide eyes.
"My kind…? You speak as if you know about me when you don't know anything…"
"You're a dragon, aren't you? It's faint, but I can sense it from your aura. I didn't notice it before, but after spending some more time in the Ancient Dragon City and encountering more dragons, I can sense it more clearly now. Of course, I also know about the war between humans and dragons."
"If that's the case, while I understand your hate toward humans, that happened countless years ago before Divine Heavens became Nine Heavens. Are you actually that old?"
Liya's face flushed with redness after hearing his words— mostly when he called her old.
"How dare you! I am not even a thousand years old!" Liya exclaimed.
Yuan looked at her with wide eyes, "Seriously? You're that young? And you don't deny being a dragon?"
Liya clenched her teeth and murmured, "You are right. I am a dragon."
"Then I don't understand your hatred for humans. That war ended way before you were even born. Where did your hatred come from?"
"You don't understand anything!" Liya shouted at him.
"Then help me understand!" Yuan shouted back.
"Why?! Why do you even care?!"
"Why wouldn't I want to help a friend who always appears to be in a sour mood?" he sighed.
Yuan shrugged, "That kind of minor detail doesn't matter to me. And you're training my friends now." frёeωebɳovel.com
