"Dragon Valley."
"Are there dragons there?"
"Legend has it... there once were."
"And what happened to the dragons afterward? Where did they go?"
"The dragons originally lived in the valley, but then one fell in love with a human girl. Humans did not accept their love, mistaking it for the dragon abducting the girl; they summoned a witch to kill the Giant Dragon."
"What happened after that?"
"After that, the dragons disappeared."
"Did he die?"
"Nobody knows."
"And... what about the girl?"
"That girl?! She gave birth to a boy, who became the king of this country."
"No wonder Grandfather has golden eyes," Gan Tang's eyes widened, "So you guys are descendants of the dragon!"
Huangfu Jue and Gan Yuan looked over in surprise at the same time.
"Grandfather?!"
The little guy realized he had misspoken and quickly tried to explain himself.
"Yes, the king, he is Uncle Huangfu's father. Shouldn't I call him Grandfather?"
"Have you met him?" Huangfu Jue asked, on guard.
