If Wilbur had been shocked by the old woman's first statement, he now felt like he had been struck by lightning. "You can tell I'm a cultivator?"
Judith's grandmother looked at him calmly. "Yes, I can. You might find this strange, but it's perfectly normal for me. My family and I are descendants of the dragon clan, and each of us has some dragon blood flowing in us. When the dragon's blood is powerful enough, our special legacy, the Dragon Eye, will be awakened. The Dragon Eye can see things regular people cannot."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "The dragon's blood in my body is powerful enough to awaken my Dragon Eye, so I can sense your aura. Judith is my granddaughter, and her Dragon Eye has been awakened just like mine. However, the dragon's blood in her body is not so powerful just yet. That is why she only has some special powers, so I let her dive for clams in the sea to make a living for the two of us."
Wilbur frowned at the old woman. "Why did you tell me something so important? I don't think that's very good for either of you."
"I know, but you saved Judith's life. Thus, you have the right to know about the legend of the Dragon Eye. However, I hope you don't tell anyone else about this. Otherwise, Judith and I might be in danger. The truth is, I just want her to live a normal life in safety and peace."
Wilbur understood the old woman's intentions. It was true that only people who had gone through a lot would learn to appreciate a simple life. Judith's grandmother wanting to keep her granddaughter by her side to live a normal life was not surprising at all.
"I see. Thank you, Grandma. I promise to keep your secret for you."
Judith's grandmother nodded. "If I'm not wrong, you must be a Dashan."
