But who is Lord Yan?

The purpose of this banquet was to dismantle the Yan family's power base, so that the succession to the throne could be carried out legitimately.

Now that his son's whereabouts are unknown, he cannot afford to be careless.

The eldest son is the one most likely to ascend to the throne.

"Madam Ye, we escorted you all this way, and now we just want to verify something. What's the harm in that?"

“We didn’t want to come here originally. You came to us and asked us to come here to save the Dragon King. Now that the Dragon King has woken up, our mission is complete. Serving the Dragon Clan has nothing to do with us anymore.”

Ye Lanyin's gaze was more resolute than ever before.

Xiao Wanwan whispered in Ye Lanyin's ear, soothing her heart, "Mother, don't be angry, Wanwan isn't afraid."

“Wanwan can protect herself, and she can also protect her mother.”

The Regent took Xiao Wanwan from Ye Lanyin's arms, looked at her seriously, and said solemnly, "Father forbids it."

Children can be mischievous, but this is the Dragon Clan, and he alone is probably no match for them.

No matter how capable a child is, he is still just a child.

"You have no choice." Lord Yan completely ignored Ye Jianxing's words and directly took out the life-testing stone from his pocket. "This life-testing stone can verify whether you are of the orthodox dragon bloodline. If it is not tested, none of you will leave alive."

General Yao pointed angrily at Lord Yan, "Where did you come from, you old man?"

"Are you the Dragon King? Are you a prince? You want us to verify you? What, are you going to kill us if we don't verify?"

"He talks like he's the Dragon King..."

He rolled his eyes at Lord Yan, put his hands on his hips, and said, "You've gone to great lengths to get us to verify our dragon bloodline. Could it be that we have something you want?"

Lord Yan originally wanted to argue with these people for a while, but secretly devised a plan to make them verify their identities.

To everyone's surprise, General Yao directly revealed what was on his mind. If he were to force them to verify their identities at this point, his purpose would be obvious.

But he was unwilling to give up. He had finally found out about these people, and he didn't want to miss out.

After all, he knew better than anyone why the eldest son of the Ye family left. He originally thought it was a good thing that Ye had removed the dragon bone, but he never expected that Ye would turn around and get married in the mortal world and have offspring.

This time, we absolutely cannot miss this opportunity again.

"I am acting in the best interests of the Dragon King. If you are truly members of the Ye family, you also have the right to recommend a number of people to succeed to the Dragon Throne."

The Dragon Queen, standing to one side, turned to look at Ye Lanyin upon hearing this.

"Madam Ye, may I ask you to verify this?"

For the throne, for Xing'er, she was willing to risk everything.

"Aunt, even Mother has begged you like this, are you still unmoved?" Ye Jianyi gritted his teeth. He had seen the identity verified by the Rainbow Spirit Mirror. They were all descendants of the Ye family, but he never expected that Xiao Wanwan was actually of the legitimate bloodline.

But no one would believe him if he said that.

It would be better to verify it in public and let everyone witness it.

Just as they were arguing, the birth-testing stone in Lord Yan's hand suddenly emitted a strong golden light.

It then floated in the air, radiating light, which shocked everyone present.

What's going on?

"Why is this birthstone golden?"

"Yes, it's incredible."

"Could this be Lord Yan's life-testing stone?"

Each member of the Dragon Clan possesses a birthstone, which represents their identity and verifies the legitimacy of their bloodline.

Within the Dragon Clan, each family possesses its own Rainbow Spirit Mirror, which records the family's descendants. If a child is lost and found, their identity can be verified directly using the Rainbow Spirit Mirror, similar to blood kinship testing in the human world, but only requiring one person's blood!

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the Life-Testing Stone seemed to sense a powerful energy and suddenly flew to Xiao Wanwan's head. Then, the light from the Life-Testing Stone became even stronger, piercing through the sky and enveloping Xiao Wanwan in its light.

Everyone stood up and witnessed an unprecedented scene.

"Could this child... be a chosen one with genuine dragon blood?"

His words left everyone present speechless.

"This..." Lord Yan took a big step back in fear.

How could this be...?

When Ye Lanyin realized that her daughter's bloodline had been discovered and that she could no longer hide it, she and the Regent exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing an unprecedented determination.

"Wanwan is still too young. We won't get involved in the affairs of the dragon clan. Let's go back to the human world now..."

"Wait a minute."

"Madam, please wait."

"Please wait, sir."

"Please wait, everyone..."

Behind her, the Ye family members snapped out of their daze and called out to Ye Lanyin, who was about to leave.

One of the older officials walked steadily toward Ye Lanyin and asked, "Madam, may I ask what time the child was born?"

"I'm sorry, we cannot disclose the child's birth date."

The man knew Ye Lanyin wouldn't answer directly, so he smiled and changed the subject, "Madam, the Dragon King is currently unwell. The ancestor established a rule that the Dragon Throne can be inherited, but each successive Dragon King must be in good health. Otherwise, it requires the recommendation of the officials. However... if a person of legitimate dragon blood is encountered, they can bypass the officials and elders and directly sit on the Dragon Throne. I wonder what Madam thinks?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin staggered back a large step. "No, Wanwan is only three years old, still a child. Your dragon clan should resolve its own crisis. Please don't involve my child."

Ye Jianxing originally intended to handle the matter himself, thinking that after Xiao Wanwan saved her father, he would get them to leave as soon as possible.

But now... things may have changed.

But the thought that as long as the Ye family's throne can be preserved, it doesn't matter who sits on it.

After thinking it over, he stepped forward and cupped his hands to Ye Lanyin, saying, "Madam Ye, please help the Ye family."

"Hmph? A three-year-old child dares to dream of becoming the Dragon King?" Lord Yan did not expect that this legitimate bloodline would be even faster than the eldest son of the Ye family back then.

The eldest son of the Ye family was discovered at the age of eighteen, but this child looks to be only... three years old!!

"In my opinion, you probably don't even know how to type a single character."

Xiao Wanwan chuckled and said, "Hehe, I don't know many people, but I know a few more words than you."

[You cunning fox, trying to bully me? I'll teach you to bark like a dog!!!]

"Then... Uncle, according to what you're saying, can I directly become the Dragon King?"

The man was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't persuade Ye Lanyin, but when he heard Xiao Wanwan ask that question, his hope was rekindled.

He smiled sheepishly and said, "Yes, yes, little guy, what's the reason?"

"Then, can I punish you if you do something wrong?"

"This..." The man didn't expect Xiao Wanwan to ask this question right away. Just as she hesitated, Ye Jianxing said, "Wanwan, let's not talk about punishment. If you do something wrong, kicking out the dragon bone, killing, or imprisoning in the Heavenly Prison are all acceptable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wanwan's eyes shone as brightly as the sunlight in the sky.

"OK--"
