Long Xiao turned his head to look at her, his expression complicated and a little grateful, "Thank you, ma'am."

Afterwards, Long Xiao calmed down his emotions, turned to the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Xie Shiwang is the son of Xie Wan and me, so he should be a member of the Dragon Clan and our... eldest young master."

At this moment, an elder stood up with a solemn expression. "Chief, we can't take this matter of recognizing a relative lightly! How can we take his one-sided statement seriously? We must conduct a blood test and a pulse measurement to confirm his identity."

Hearing this, the elders nodded in agreement.

The dragon bloodline is of vital importance and cannot be confused casually.

Moreover, there was no dragon aura on Xie Shiwang's body.

This means two things: either Xie Shiwang is not Long Xiao’s son, or Xie Shiwang is unable to awaken the dragon bloodline.

No matter which possibility it is, it means that Xie Shiwang's appearance has brought a stain to their dragon clan.

"I'm willing to take the test." Xie Shiwang looked straight ahead and changed the subject, "My son has to take the test, too."

Xie Shiwang's son? !

Everyone present was shocked.

Long Xiao's breathing stagnated, and he looked at Xie Shiwang with a look of surprise and doubt.

Just as Long Xiao was about to ask, a man hurried in from outside the lobby.

"Father!"

A shout made everyone gather around the newcomer.

That person was none other than the young master of the Dragon Clan, Long Qianxu.

Long Qianxu's gaze fell on Xie Shiwang, his expression showing a hint of disbelief, and then he looked up and stared at his father.

Long Xiao's face was heavy, and after meeting Long Qianxu's questioning eyes, a sense of guilt welled up in his heart.

Seeing this, the clan leader’s wife waved towards Long Qianxu.

"Xu'er, come here."

Hearing this, Long Qianxu pursed his lips. He wanted to say something but couldn't utter anything at the moment. He could feel all kinds of eyes focused on him.

He walked towards his mother.

When passing by Xie Shiwang, Xie Shiwang suddenly chuckled.

This recognition of relatives lasted for a long time.

…

And at this moment, outside the lobby.

A cool breeze blew. In the pavilion by the lake, there was a young woman wearing a dark red floor-length dress, a red veil on her face, a small fan in her hand, and luxurious jewelry.

She was in the pavilion, fanning herself with a small fan, while grabbing a handful of fish feed from the small plate held by the maid next to her and throwing it into the lake.

The fish in the lake gathered together and scrambled to eat.

There were two servants guarding outside the pavilion.

These two servants grew up with Long Qianxu. They are very loyal and capable.

The woman's slightly dissatisfied voice slowly came, "Your young master abandoned me as soon as he heard about other things."

Upon hearing this, the maid beside her carefully comforted her, "Miss Shen, you hold a very high importance in the young master's heart. Today's incident was indeed sudden, so the young master had to leave first. Miss Shen, please wait a moment, the young master will be back soon."

Chen Xun chuckled, then gracefully grabbed another handful of fish feed from the small plate and threw it into the lake.

The fish gathered again.

Chen Xun lowered his eyes to look at the fish in the water, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"Actually, I don't like your young master very much."

The maid lowered her head in fear.

When the two servants guarding outside the pavilion heard this, their faces darkened and they were extremely dissatisfied.

Their young master was wholeheartedly devoted to Miss Chenxun, and he never thought that she would say such hurtful words.

Chen Xun laughed and said, "Long Qianxu is extremely boring and paranoid. He doesn't respect my opinions, just like a cow."

"Miss Shen, please be careful with your words!" One of the servants could no longer tolerate it and warned.

Chen Xun turned slowly, the breeze blowing the veil on her cheek, making her beautiful face vaguely visible, "Am I wrong?"

"Please, Miss Shen, don't belittle the young master. The young master has already done more for you..."

"Did I ask him to do it?" Chen Xun's smile deepened.

She took a step forward, and the dark red skirt dragged on the ground, swaying gracefully as she walked.

Just as she was about to leave the pavilion, two servants stopped her.

“Miss Shen, you cannot leave here without the young master’s order.”

"Why should I leave?"

“Miss Shen, please don’t embarrass your subordinates.”

"I want you to make things difficult for you," Chen Xun said, and walked straight out of the pavilion.

Seeing this, the two attendants' faces changed in shock and they looked at each other.

He acted decisively and set up a barrier.

Chen Xun was trapped inside.

"Miss Shen, please stop." Their persuasive voices came.

Chen Xun's smile faded, and she looked at the two servants coldly, "You are just bullying me because I have no spiritual power. Long Qianxu is the same. Long Qianxu treats me like a canary, but what do you treat me like? A bird in a cage?"

"We dare not!" The two attendants immediately raised their hands and bowed, lowering their heads.

"Don't dare?" Chen Xun scoffed, "Then remove the barrier."

The two attendants still kept their heads down and did not move.

Seeing this, Chen Xun's eyes became even colder.

If it weren't for the sudden incident today, she would have found an opportunity to leave Long Qianxu.

She is going to find Chen Yan.

Chen Xun lowered his eyes and watched the red dot in his left palm become lighter and lighter.

This proves that—

Chen Yan is now getting further and further away from her.

Chen Xun said irritably, "It's so hot, I want to go back to the pavilion and sit down."

"Miss Chen, please." Upon hearing this, the two attendants immediately and respectfully welcomed Chen Xun back to the pavilion.
