"What's wrong with me?" Xiao Wanwan asked with a grin.
"You think it's ugly?"
'You're the ugly one!!'
“Then you…” Xiao Wanwan looked around, grinned, and pointed at her aunt, Madam Xie, “My aunt is incredibly beautiful. Ask her if she’d be willing to give you her blood!”
"If all else fails, my second aunt will do; they're both beauties!"
"Even blood might smell good~"
This was the first time Ye Jianyi had ever seen such a shameless child with such a thick skin.
Is this really a child?
"Little sister, what's your name?"
"Grandpa, little grandpa." Xiao Wanwan winked at him playfully, "You can call me Grandpa too~"
"You, you, you..." Ye Jianyi was so angry that he couldn't say a word. This damned person, is he really a child of the Ye family?
"Oh dear, don't get excited. It's just calling me 'Ancestor,' right? Don't be nervous. Even the uncles and elders weren't as nervous as you when they met me before."
Ye Jianyi took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Old Master Ye, we have come here with sincerity, but we would like to ask the Ye family to accompany us to the Dragon Palace."
“My father accidentally touched something in the Dragon Tomb and was attacked by the backlash. He was burned and seriously injured. Now, no matter what methods are used, the wound cannot be healed and the blood keeps flowing.”
"We wouldn't have come looking for you if we hadn't been forced to."
With that, Ye Jianxing flicked his robes and knelt on one knee, saying, "Grand Uncle, please help my father out of consideration for our blood ties."
Madam Ye's face was somewhat pale.
These people, under the guise of helping them save their fathers, are trying to separate her from her child. Have they ever considered her feelings as a mother?
If she goes to that dangerous place and doesn't come back, she'll have to bury her child.
Besides, since her father-in-law left that place back then, it meant he didn't want to have anything to do with them, so she couldn't agree to it even more.
"Our Ye family has lived in the Holy Kingdom for generations. We don't know you, and we're not your relatives. You'd better leave now, or we'll report you to the authorities!"
General Ye understood the old lady's meaning and immediately stood up.
"Please go back, you've got the wrong person!"
“No, great-uncle, we are not going back. We smelled the scent of dragon blood yesterday and today. We thought we had made a mistake yesterday, but seeing Aunt Ye here today, we know we have not made a mistake.”
“You are the descendants of the dragon clan, the descendants of my great-grandfather’s elder brother.”
“My great-grandfather also regretted what happened back then. When he learned that we were coming to find you, he wanted to come along, but he was too old to do so.”
"We beg our great-uncle to help us out of consideration for our father's plight. The grudges of the previous generation have nothing to do with us, so why should we have to bear them?"
He didn't know what happened back then.
I only know that my great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather had a misunderstanding. Later, my great-great-grandfather severed ties with his dragon parents. After that, he removed his bones and became a mortal. The dragon clan then announced to the outside world that he was dead.
Now, it's uncertain whether they can save their father.
But everyone in the Dragon Palace tried, and not a single person could help his father heal his wounds.
Later, my great-grandfather mentioned this great-great-grandfather, saying that he might be able to help them save their father.
"Please, my great-uncle, ask him to bring out my great-great-uncle to save our father."
The two knelt down together, appearing quite sincere.
This left Grandpa Ye unsure of what to do.
"Grand Uncle, my father is also your cousin. Are you really going to stand by and watch us die? We did nothing wrong, so why should we bear the burden of the grudges of the previous generation?"
"When will this cycle of revenge end? The Dragon Clan is now facing a crisis regarding the Dragon Throne. If the Dragon Throne is taken by someone else, our Ye family will likely be doomed. If the new Dragon King learns of your existence, he may also bring you danger."
The Ye family has ruled the Dragon Clan for many years, and many people are eager to rebel. This time, the King entered the Dragon Tomb and was attacked, which may also be their doing.
General Ye looked solemn.
It would be a lie to remain unmoved by these words; he is right. Why should the grudges of the previous generation affect the next?
But if Father doesn't want them to have too much involvement, then this might disappoint Father.
After being caught in a dilemma, General Ye made a decision.
“I agree to verify your identities, but let me make this clear: whatever the outcome, we, the Ye family, are citizens of the Holy Kingdom, whether we live or die.”
"Besides, we are just ordinary people now. We are neither doctors nor gods when it comes to saving your father. Even if you verify it, it will be of no use."
Ye Jianxing was delighted to hear that General Ye was willing to verify their identities.
"Don't worry, if you really can't save our father, we will definitely not force you."
Xiao Wanwan stood beside Ye Lanyin and obediently extended her hand.
"Mother, let me do it!"
Let's see how you find out.
Ye Lanyin's expression was not good, as she was worried about what kind of crisis the Ye family would face if they got entangled with these people.
She took Xiao Wanwan's hand and said softly, "Wanwan, you're still growing, so let's not do the test."
Xiao Wanwan smiled and shook her head.
“Mother, I’m going to get tested sooner or later anyway, so it’s just a matter of getting it done sooner.”
Ye Lanyin: Hmm?
The two people who had just been tricked by Xiao Wanwan were somewhat apprehensive about being tested by her.
After all, this child is not only stupid but also doesn't have a kind word to say. What if she has a jinx and her words come true?
"It's better not to..." Before Ye Jianxing could finish speaking, Xiao Wanwan stretched out her hand in front of them.
"It's only good for a puppy to back out..."
Ye Jianxing: ...
General Ye initially wanted to stop her, but then he remembered that his granddaughter was no ordinary person and knew that she wanted to help him.
So they acquiesced.
"Since this is to verify the Ye family's identity, Wanwan is also a member of the Ye family. You can verify her."
Seeing this, Ye Jianxing didn't know what to say.
He conjured a colorful life-testing stone from his hand. In his hand, the life-testing stone seemed to contain endless vitality, radiating dazzling light and illuminating the entire room brightly and brilliantly.
The Xie and Li families were so shocked by the scene that they were speechless for a long time.
But the thought that he was someone with whom the Ye family had a grudge instantly chilled their initial admiration.
"This birth-testing stone is called the Rainbow Spirit Mirror. It is used by the Ye family to record and verify the identity of their descendants. Every child is recorded immediately after birth. You are all descendants of your great-uncle, and your blood flows in your veins. If you are of the Ye family bloodline, the birth-testing stone will definitely react."
"Come here."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanwan followed Ye Jianxing obediently, her well-behaved manner making Ye Jianxing feel somewhat unreal.
