General Ye carefully examined the wooden box. The wiped box looked brand new, without any trace of time, as if it had just been made by a carpenter.

"Yeah, how do you drive this?"

His father had left it to him before, saying not to open it unless absolutely necessary, so he had never examined the box.

Now that I see it, I don't even know how to open it.

Xiao Wanwan stood under the table, looking up at the box that was bigger than her head.

He mumbled to himself, "This box doesn't seem to be from the mortal world, Grandfather! Let me see if I can open it!"

After Xiao Wanwan finished speaking, before General Ye and the others could respond, she reached out and pulled hard on the box.

The box fell off the table and landed squarely on Xiao Wanwan's foot.

With a loud crash, the little guy burst into tears from the pain.

"Waaaaah..."

"It hurts so much, Mother..."

"Waaah, I want a hug..."

Startled, Ye Lanyin quickly knelt down to comfort Xiao Wanwan, "Wanwan, where are you hurt?"

"Let your mother take a look quickly."

Xiao Wanwan pointed to her foot and said aggrievedly, "Mommy, it hurts~"

Ye Lanyin looked in the direction Xiao Wanwan pointed and saw that the little guy's foot had been smashed open with a bloody gash. The shocking sight of blood stung her eyes.

Ye Lanyin's heart pounded wildly. She immediately took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped away the blood from Xiao Wanwan's feet.

"Hua Xin, go and get the medicine quickly."

"Yes, Madam." Huaxin turned and went out to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

Just as the group was surrounding Xiao Wanwan, the wooden box that had been lying on the ground and couldn't be opened suddenly opened automatically with a 'click'.

Everyone looked over at the sound and stared in disbelief at the box that had no opening or mechanism.

Grandpa Ye took three steps at a time to walk to the box and carefully picked it up from the ground.

Inside the large wooden box were a gold horn, a gold plate, a gold jade pendant, and a letter.

Just then, Xiao Wanwan's foot wound, which had been injured by the impact, suddenly healed on its own.

This time, Ye Lanyin saw it clearly; the entire healing process took only a moment, which truly shocked her.

"this……"

The old lady standing to the side also saw it, and she covered her mouth in shock at what she had just witnessed.

Wanwan... she is indeed no ordinary person.

But why is it that the Ye family could produce such a child?

"Father, what is this?" Second sister-in-law Li stepped forward, looking at the unfamiliar and unidentifiable object with great curiosity.

"What's the use of this thing that my grandfather left behind?"

“This horn doesn’t look like a sheep’s horn or a cow’s horn. It’s golden. This is the first time I’ve ever seen one like it.”

It was the first time General Ye had ever seen this thing, so it was impossible for him not to be surprised.

He took the golden horn in his hand and examined it carefully, but it didn't seem to have anything special about it.

Then he opened the letter again, only to find that there were no words in it.

Xiao Wanwan moved a chair over, climbed onto the table, and craned her neck to look at what her grandfather was holding. She exclaimed in surprise:

"Huh? Why does this look like dragon horns?"

I remember that the Golden Horned Dragon represents the highest bloodline of the dragon race, and is the only one who can directly inherit the dragon throne without the consent of any elders.

Could it be that Ye's great-grandfather was the Dragon King?

"Good, good, no wonder those two begged them to save their father yesterday."

It seems the Ye family is indeed extraordinary.

Just as the group was leaving the study, the servant at the door rushed in to report.

"Sir, someone outside requests an audience."

Who is it?

"Reporting to the old man, that person said his name was Ye Jianxing."

Ye Lanyin and General Ye exchanged a glance.

"Let him in."

"yes."

The weather in May was hotter than last year. It was noon, which should have been lunchtime, but everyone was sitting in the front hall, sweating profusely, talking with two unfamiliar guests.

Originally, I wanted to take Wanwan to the dining hall for lunch first, but the little one wasn't hungry at all. She grabbed Ye Lanyin's sleeve and refused to let go.

Unfortunately, the little guy could only play with the birds in the front hall.

"Grandpa Ye, you must be my great-uncle and great-aunt, right?" Ye Jianxing said, and the two brothers bowed to Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye, who were sitting in the main seats.

"No." Upon seeing this, Old Master Ye immediately pulled his wife to her feet, as if afraid they would bow to him.

"Don't try to claim any connection. Although we Ye family don't have many relatives, I've unfortunately met them all, but I've never met you before."

Ye Jianxing had already guessed when he entered the door that the Ye family was definitely the people they were looking for.

They must already know what I said to Madam Ye yesterday.

They came here to beg for help to save their father, who had not left a will. If he died, he might not be the next heir.

“Madam Ye, you must know very well why we are here.”

Yesterday they mentioned that they smelled the blood of dragons at the Regent's Palace. Today they intended to continue their journey to the Regent's Palace, but unexpectedly, they passed by here on the way and smelled the blood of dragons.

They believed that, as Ye Lanyin had said, the guests from yesterday were other people, until they entered the room and saw Ye Lanyin herself, which confirmed their suspicions.

"No matter what you say, we have nothing to do with you. If you come in to ask for a drink of water, we don't mind. But if you're trying to curry favor, please leave." Ye Lanyin didn't want to have anything to do with these people.
