"Yes," Xueyan said with a small laugh. "You see, I didn't inherit strong ice affinity like my mother. And I also didn't have the Moon Dao affinity like my father."
He spread his hands.
"So for a long time, I thought I had nothing."
There was no bitterness in his voice.
Just honesty.
"It wasn't until we visited the Guardian Beast Temple in the Huli Capital during an annual festival that everything changed."
Lin Mu listened more closely now.
Xueyan's expression softened slightly.
"I was just… in the crowd. Nothing special. But for some reason, Temple Head Puyi noticed me."
Meng Bai leaned forward.
"He noticed you?"
"Yes," Xueyan nodded. "Later, he called me and my parents to meet him privately."
His ears twitched at the memory.
"He told us something we never expected."
"That I had a Spatial Element affinity."
Meng Bai's eyes widened slightly.
"That must have shocked your parents."
"It did," Xueyan said with a grin. "They didn't believe it at first."
