At this moment inside the courtyard, the first elder was currently combing through that beard with his hand as he scanned the guests in front of himself.
âYuâer, this time it really is thanks to you, but if you want to let your husband Xiang Luo become the chief⦠Iâm afraid that wonât do. I must wait for Tsing Yi to come back. I must hear her explanation in person.â
Back then when Tsing Yi was being called out as a traitor, he himself had been in closed-door training. Therefore, by the time he came out and realized whatâs happened, itâs too late to change anything.
But that doesnât mean heâs willing to believe everything the others has to say about the woman. Heâs the first elder and he has a duty to listen to the whole story, regardless of what otherâs thought. Until then the position as Chief will stay empty!
Despite the inner anger swelling up like a volcano, Longyu kept her smile intact aside from growing slightly stiff in the face: âShifu, I understand.â
âItâs good that you understand.â the first elder sighs in relief.
For this disciple of his, he still holds some hope and many feelings. As such, he couldnât just allow her to take the wrong path without so much as trying to correct her.
Suddenly, a childish and dominating voice echoes through the air, pulling all of these guests to attention. âAll of you lizards living here in the Dragon Mountain, get your butts out here this instant!â Due to this shout, the entire courtyard had fallen into a deadly silence.
Eventually the more senior dragons had come back to their senses from the initial shock. Roaring out: âWho dares to come make trouble at the Dragonâs home?!â
Their clan has settled here in the North Sea for over a thousand years, this would be the first time someone has the audacity to openly provoke them at the Dragon Mountain.
âNo wait, why do I feel like this voice is coming out from Miss Dai Daiâs room? First Elder, it canât be, did something happen to her?â
Wahh!
In his frantic response, the first elder nearly fell to the floor after losing his balance. If not for the chair handle nearby, he wouldnât even be able to get back up. Nevertheless, the frightening white on his old wrinkly face indicated how much panic he truly felt at the forethought of losing said granddaughter.
âSomeone come, hurry and follow me to protect Dai Dai!â
His son and daughter had died several years ago due to some unexpected circumstances. Now the only reason heâs even willing to continue living was this grandchild of his after learning of her existence through some coincidental means.
While the elder and his menâs running steps went at a fast pace, Longyu on the other hand didnât move as swift. In fact, her eyes showed a frosty glint while following slowly from behind.
âYuâer,â Xiang Luo had come beside his wife without anyone noticing. Showing a dark expression, âAre you sure that girl you brought back is going to be fine? Did you investigate her background and made sure she doesnât have backing?â
Longyu makes a snickering click at her husbandâs cowardice: âNothing but a dragon who surrendered under a humanâs will, what sort of backing could she possibly have?â
âHumans?â Xiang Luo asks with an open frown.
âThatâs right. The woman is only a concubine of some royal palace, an existence even lower than those third-rate factions in the human world. Compared to our clan, they canât even be called adversary.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThen I can rest at ease,â the man exhales a sigh before making an approving smile at his wife. âBack then it was not easy to drive away that Tsing Yi, I donât want to have any unexpected changes during this crucial timing. Itâs good that you didnât bring back the real Dai Dai, otherwise who knows if things would get out of our hands or not.â
