"If there's nothing else, I'll go and get back to work," Ming Yuyin said.
Long Qianling nodded, and Ming Yuyin immediately turned and left, as if she was afraid that Long Qianling would do something to Yun Li.
However, that was indeed what she thought. After all, Yun Li was a god, and Long Qianling might hold a grudge against him because of his identity.
Long Qianling watched her fleeing figure and shook his head helplessly.
She was just asking out of curiosity, why was she so nervous?
Only after Ming Yuyin's figure completely disappeared from her sight did Long Qianling lift her foot and leave.
...
The source of the Ling River—Yuchuan.
Below Yuchuan, the palaces are decorated beautifully and dazzlingly, appearing very prosperous at first glance.
Long Qianling appeared outside a grand hall and looked up at the three large characters on the door—Jade Spirit Palace.
"Who are you? Why are you here?!"
Suddenly, a male voice rang in his ears. Long Qianling turned his head and his eyes met those of a young man in blue.
The boy was stunned when he saw her face. "You..."
Long Qianling glanced at him briefly before looking away, not intending to pay him any attention, and walked inside on her own.
"Hey! You can't go in! This is the main hall of our Jade Clam Clan. Outsiders are not allowed to trespass without permission!" The young man panicked when he saw her walk straight in and hurriedly followed, trying to stop Long Qianling.
"Hey, are you even listening to me?! You can't go in!" the boy shouted as he ran after Long Qianling, but no matter how fast he ran, he still couldn't catch up with Long Qianling.
"Lan Yuan, what happened? Why are you shouting like that?"
A slightly aged male voice came from inside the hall, and in a short while, Long Qianling entered the hall.
“Grandfather, it’s not that A-Yuan is shouting, it’s that this person is ignoring A-Yuan and insists on entering the main hall.”
The boy named Lan Yuan heard the sound and ran over quickly. As he passed Long Qianling, he felt a chill.
Upon hearing this, the old man, whom the boy called his grandfather, slowly opened his eyes, his gaze unexpectedly meeting that of Long Qianling, who was standing in the center of the hall.
With just one glance, he saw those familiar red eyes, and he was startled, immediately standing up from his chair.
"It's...you!"
Long Qianling curled her lips into a cold smile, "Long time no see, Grandfather~"
Lan Yuan turned around in shock to look at Long Qianling. She called her grandfather "maternal grandfather"!
Then she... is the only surviving member of the Dragon Clan, Long Qianling!
Feng Yi's hands trembled, and her voice began to stutter, but it was full of dislike for Long Qianling: "What are you doing here? You're not welcome here!"
"Why can't I come? Is my grandfather afraid that I will take revenge on you for betraying me and causing me to be sealed away?" Long Qianling was still smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Back then, Long Qianling was forced into the Abyss of Evil all alone; she could have avoided being sealed away.
Her maternal grandfather said that they would help her avenge the dragons and revive them!
But in the abyss of evil, Feng Yi, holding the love token her mother had given to her father, personally cut a long wound on her back.
Having been injured by the possession of her closest relative, Long Qianling suffered a severe blow to her vital energy, which gave Bai Fengfu the opportunity to seal her away.
At that moment, Long Qianling realized that not everyone can be trusted...
It's also her fault; she was too trusting of others, which led her to this state.
Long Qianling hates Bai Fengfu, hates the mastermind Long Qingzhi, and also hates the entire demon realm, but she hates the Jade Clam Clan even more!
They actually used her feelings to protect themselves—that was her father's biological father! That was her maternal grandfather…
Her only remaining family in the world pushed her into the abyss.
Long Qianling slowly took a step forward, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense. "Grandfather, did you not expect that I would break the seal?"
Feng Yi swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain calm, and said, "What happened back then was due to circumstances. If we hadn't done that, the entire Jade Clam Clan would have been wiped out. Ah Ling, I know our Jade Clam Clan has wronged you, but..."
"But you lied to me! You are my maternal grandfather!" Long Qianling shouted at him, her voice filled with heartache.
She once respected Feng Yi so much; if it weren't for that betrayal, she wouldn't hate him so much...
Feng Yi looked at his granddaughter, who resembled his son, and felt very uncomfortable.
He knew they had wronged her, and he was willing to repay Long Qianling with the entire jade clam on their behalf.
What he didn't expect was that when Long Qianling broke through the seal, he could have directly wiped out their Jade Clam Clan.
However, she did not do that. Although she harbored resentment, this was her father's home, and Feng Yi was her father's closest relative. She could not let her father down, and she could not let him die without peace of mind.
Therefore, she did not take action against the Jade Clam Clan.
"Ah Ling... I'm sorry." Feng Yi lowered her head, as if she had aged several years in that instant.
Long Qianling clenched her fist tightly, and after a long while, slowly relaxed it.
"I didn't come here to hear your apology. I came here simply to get the Jade Clam Clan's Clever Spirit Silk."
The exquisite gauze is unique to the Jade Clam Clan; it is unparalleled and unmatched in the world.
Its exquisiteness is unmatched by any other silk or satin, and it is even more dazzling than the mermaid's silk!
Back then, her mother's and father's wedding dresses were also made of the Jade Clam Clan's exquisite silk!
"You want to do that..."
"My affairs are none of your business." Long Qianling's voice was indifferent, her red eyes devoid of emotion, as if she were looking at a stranger when she looked at Feng Yi.
Feng Yi choked up. Indeed, he had no right to interfere in her affairs, especially since she hated him intensely right now...
"Give it to me." Long Qianling's voice left no room for argument.
Before Feng Yi could speak, Lan Yuan interjected, "No way! Qiaoling Silk is a treasure of our Jade Clam Clan—ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, a strong gust of wind sent him flying to the ground, causing him to grimace in pain.
"You! How dare you hit me!" Lan Yuan clutched her sore bottom and glared angrily at Long Qianling.
Long Qianling had no intention of arguing with a mere brat. She merely glanced at him coldly, her voice piercingly sharp: "No? Don't even mention some clever spirit gauze. Even if I were to take the lives of your entire clan, you couldn't say a word, because you owe me this!"
"You're talking nonsense! What do you mean we owe you? It's clearly your own incompetence that's to blame! Why are you putting all the blame on us?" Lan Yuan said, looking indignant.
