The maid in pink breaks out into laughter at the frank answer. There arenât as many rules within the dragon race so she readily pointed in the needed direction. âFrom here, go forward three hundred meters, afterwards turn right and you will find the first elderâs courtyard. But whether or not the elder will see you is his choice little girl. I wonât be able to help you there.â
âThank you, sister!â Showing a sweet innocent smile, Long Dai Dai shot a glance back to the rock behind herself before seemingly running off in the referred direction.
After the two ladies left, Bai Xiachen figured its safe now and came out as well. He didnât waste any time and chased after his friend that went ahead.
â¦â¦
Back over in the first elderâs courtyard, a big gathering was taking place, many showing heartfelt smiles or making flattering congratulatory messages.
âHaha, congratulations to First Elder, youâve finally found your granddaughter.â
âIn particular is how beautiful this Dai Dai is, she will certainly become the number one beauty of our clan when she comes of age. Compared to Tsing Yi from a hundred years ago, she will surpass her and more.â
In the face of all those compliments, the first elder only retained a blooming smile on his wrinkly old face.
âYuâer, itâs been hard you,â the senior turns to his disciple, âif not for you, I fear me and Dai Dai would never be able to meet in this life.â
Returning a shallow smile of her own, the wretched Longyu had no shame in what she said in return: âOh Shifu, for you, I will go through a mountain of knives and walk through fire if I have to. I know you have some misconceptions of me before, but now Iâve thought it through. From now on I will listen to Shifuâs word.â
Hearing the kidnapping womanâs lies and deceits, the first elder definitely relaxed somewhat inwardly.?Perhaps I really misunderstood her?
âFirst Elder, you really took a wonderful disciple. I heard in order for Longyu to find your granddaughter, she had to fend off multiple powerful humans during the rescue effort and even nearly lost her life in the process. Where would one find another wonderful apprentice like so?â
Of course, these flattering words and stories were spread by Longyu herself, thereâs not an ounce of truth in them. Nevertheless, it doesnât change the fact that the shameless woman was delighted to hear it in earshot because it shows how trustworthy she was in front of the old man sheâs trying to sweeten up for the upcoming scheme.
Compared with the lively scene out here though, Dragony on the other hand didnât show herself and kept to her room after meeting the first elder. Perhaps itâs the part of herself that didnât know how to confront Dai Daiâs grandfather, but the missy felt wrong seeing the senior using her friendâs identity.
âWho?â It was then a sudden noise from the outside causes her to jerk up in alarm: âWho is outside the door?â
Creakkk~
Following the opening of the door, an unfamiliar teenager walks in. Fair skinned with a thin eyebrow, this young man wasnât gorgeously handsome by any means, yet heâs still quite the looker for his standard.
âYouâre not a dragon, who are you?â Dragony frowns and asked with intrigue.
âIâm here to take you away,â the boyâs voice was crisp and sound.
âTake me away?â Blinking her big blue eyes in confusion, Dragony eyes the human teenager with curiosity, âWhy would you take me away?â
âI know you are not Long Dai Dai but rather a stranger kidnapped by Longyu. I donât care what sort of backgrounds you have nor does it matter to me; I only want to go against that Longyu!â A flash of rage flickers with the youngsterâs eye, âIâve been lurking here in the Dragonâs home for over a century. Now that Iâve gathered enough evidence, it wonât be long before I confront her. Until then, I will send you away first.â
