Dragon Court Palace.
The group sat in the hall, not uttering a single word, except for the sounds of Xiao Wanwan and Yao Qianshu eating.
Ye Lanyin felt extremely distressed looking at her daughter.
The child is not even three years old, yet he has to endure these things, and he has no childhood left.
She was about to speak when Xiao Wanwan spoke first.
"It's settled then, I'm only going to sit there for one day. I don't want this position. It's annoying and tiring, and I'm only three years old."
[These are all trivial matters, yet you make it sound like the sky is falling. Is this all the Dragon King deals with every day?]
This is so boring...
After hearing this, the old Dragon King babbled incoherently. Ye Jianxing comforted him for a while before saying, "Wanwan, you have no choice but to sit on this dragon throne. You are the chosen one."
The implication is that there was no other choice.
“Yes, Wanwan, listen to your great-uncle, not everyone can sit here. What if the Yan family…”
“Then I’ll write you a letter,” Xiao Wanwan said without any hesitation. “If you don’t want it, I don’t want it either.”
[Bad luck.]
How far have they schemed and plotted for this dragon throne?
I'd rather catch crickets with Brother Money Tree...
Hearing her daughter's thoughts, Ye Lanyin knew that her daughter would definitely not help them anymore. Even if they forced her, it would be useless. Her daughter had a thousand ways to leave.
"Is there really no other way?" Ye Lanyin asked.
“Wanwan is still too young, and besides, she doesn’t belong here.”
There are many rules here, and everyone here has spiritual power. If she's not careful, her daughter could get herself killed, and she might not even be a match for them. Even she, who was born back then, didn't have the ability to protect her.
If anything were to go wrong, she would be filled with self-blame for the rest of her life.
"If Wanwan has offspring..." Ye Yangyu glanced at Xiao Wanwan, but decided not to say anything.
How could a three-year-old have offspring?
Finally, he sighed as he looked at Ye Lanyin, and old memories flooded back to him.
“Ruian, you look a lot like your great-grandfather. When he was young, he was as spirited as you, and many women in the Dragon Clan liked him, but in the end he didn’t take a liking to any of them.”
"I never expected that going to the Holy Kingdom would lead to marriage and children."
When this comes up, he doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Back then, just as Yan Tianze said in the footage we saw."
"The misunderstanding between me and your great-grandfather was caused by my wife. To prove her innocence, my wife later committed suicide."
"When I went to find my elder brother, he had already removed the dragon bones and left."
"After that, I couldn't find any trace of him no matter how hard I looked. If it weren't for the fact that Xing'er's father was seriously injured this time, I wouldn't have told them about what happened back then. I wanted to take these things to my grave."
"It's fortunate that he found you. Seeing that you are all doing well, my guilt has lessened a bit."
Looking at the aged Ye Yangyu, Ye Jianxing said with heartache, "Great-grandfather, please don't be like this."
"My grandfather also lost his life in the search for my great-great-grandfather. This is not your fault, but the Yan family's fault."
My grandfather's death was also a huge blow to my great-grandfather.
My grandfather was a filial son. Seeing his father in grief, he thought of going to find his great-uncle, but who knew that he would be separated from his father forever.
As Ye Lanyin listened, her eyes reddened, but as a descendant, she didn't know how to express these things.
She took the blank letter out of her bosom.
"Here are letters left by my grandfather. There are no words on these letters. Do you know how to see them?"
With red eyes, Ye Yangyu looked at the letter in Ye Lanyin's hand, stepped forward and took it.
There was a faint, familiar scent emanating from the letter, and for a moment, tears blurred his vision.
"Big brother, I'm sorry, I was wrong..."
He opened the letter through teary eyes, and just as Ye Lanyin had said, there were no words written on it.
I read the entire letter over and over again for a long time, but I couldn't find any flaws.
Ye Jianxing held the letter up to the candlelight, trying to see the secret behind it, but the letter was still just a blank sheet of paper.
Suddenly, Ye Lanyin remembered that her daughter knew about the birth stone, and an idea struck her.
"Jianxing, I'll do it."
Ye Jianxing handed the letter back to Ye Lanyin.
Ye Lanyin walked to the door frame, came up to Xiao Wanwan, and said to her daughter, "Wanwan, have you seen the things in here before?"
Xiao Wanwan put down Tianfeng, looked at the letter in Ye Lanyin's hand, and frowned.
She picked it up and looked at it from left to right.
What is this?
Ye Lanyin frowned. Doesn't the child know?
How did she know that the birthstone belonged to her grandfather?
Xiao Wanwan thought for a moment, then took the letter and ran to her desk. She looked around and finally her gaze fell on the inkstone.
She smiled and then picked up her pen.
The people present were so frightened that they all rushed in front of her to stop her.
But she was faster; she grabbed a pen and scribbled haphazardly on the letter.
Ye Lanyin was almost in tears.
This was brought to her by her father for self-defense, in case...
Before I could even process what was to come, I was stunned by the incredible scene before me.
There were words appearing where Xiao Wanwan had drawn with ink.
Everyone was so shocked they were speechless and stood there stunned for a moment.
The things that adults couldn't solve, this child actually solved?
It seems... there's also a mischievous vibe about it.
“Yes…” Xiao Wanwan smiled innocently, “Mother, what do you need this for?”
Ye Lanyin immediately took the letter, carefully placed it on the table, and then lifted Xiao Wanwan off the chair.
“Wanwan, this is a letter left by your great-grandfather for your grandfather. I never expected that you would solve the mystery.”
Everyone was eager to know what was going on.
But with the elders present, no one dared to open their eyes and look.
Ye Yangyu gripped the letter tremblingly, reading it bit by bit, his hands shaking more and more with each reading.
"This is my older brother's handwriting, it's his!!!"
He choked up and couldn't speak for a moment.
The letter detailed Ye Zunyu's life after leaving the Dragon Clan, the reasons for his marriage and children, the blows the Dragon Clan had dealt him, and his entrustment to his descendants.
'My children, if you are fortunate enough to see this letter, remember forever... never go back to the Dragon Clan. Mortals cannot fight against gods and demons. Your father only hopes that you will live a peaceful life.'
Leaving the Dragon Clan was my own choice. I've seen too much fighting, people killing each other for that position, even scheming against each other, and ultimately losing their lives.
I don't hate my parents for being biased, nor do I hate Yang Yu. Even without that incident, something else would have caused us brothers to turn against each other, and the best outcome would have been for one of us to leave.
Perfect timing! I crave freedom, and all I want in this life is to find a good partner, get married, have children, and live an ordinary life.
Finally, be careful of the Yan family.
Do not think of me, do not worry about me, do not grieve.
—Ye Zunyu
