Chen Ping stood aside, somewhat amused and exasperated by this sudden "clan crisis." In the adult world, the Huanglong clan elder's reminder seemed perfectly normal, but when he tried to understand it from Licia's perspective, the situation was entirely different.
Lycia's immediate reaction made him chuckle. Seven or eight days of paperwork was like a mountain of exam papers for a child. No wonder Lycia empathized and stood by Ao Yunyu without hesitation, supporting her escape from this "terrible" fate.
Licia, holding Ellie's hand, skipped and hopped behind Chen Ping. She puffed out her little chest and assured Ao Yunyu with a determined look, "Ao Yunyu, don't worry, I'm here. I won't let you be crushed by that pile of stuff! This place is so much fun! Wouldn't it be better if we explored and learned together?"
Ellie nodded in agreement, her eyes full of support and encouragement: "Yes, Ao Yunyu, we're all here. You can create more wonderful memories with us. If there are any difficulties, we'll face them together."
Looking at Licia and Ellie, Ao Yunyu's eyes welled up with tears, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She felt an unprecedented sense of friendship and support, as if she had finally found a place that truly belonged to her. "Thank you, Lycia, Ellie. With you all here, I feel like this is my home. Let's stay and enjoy every day together!"
Then, peeking out from behind Chen Ping, she shouted to the old clan leader, "Old clan leader, give up! I'm not going back. I've decided to stay here at the Heart of the Divine Island!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Huanglong shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "These are all things you need to learn. You can't be lazy. So you have to go back. My clansmen and I came here specifically to find you. You can't just go back like this, can you? How am I supposed to explain this to the other elders when I get back?"
At this moment, Lycia peeked out from behind Chen Ping, looked at the old clan chief Huanglong, and said with a grin, "Old clan chief, can Ao Yunyu stay? We agreed to play together."
The old clan chief Huanglong looked at Lycia and said with a helpless smile, "No, Yunyu has to deal with affairs and is very busy. She doesn't have time to play."
Upon hearing this, Lycia muttered, "Elder Chief, wouldn't it be better to deal with things after we've come of age? Brother Chen Ping already said that children should play, and playing is what children should do. Aren't you right, Brother Chen Ping?"
(⊙o⊙)…
Chen Ping was dumbfounded again. He looked down at Lycia and saw her bright eyes. He nodded and said subconsciously, "Yes, that's right. Lycia is right. Children should have enough time to play."
Upon seeing this, Ao Yunyu's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at Chen Ping with adorable eyes, just like Licia.
Ugh, under this double pressure, Chen Ping suddenly felt incredibly stressed.
Chen Ping coughed lightly, trying to speak in a gentle yet firm tone: "Elder Chief, perhaps we can do this: give Ao Yunyu a period of leave so that she can experience life, learn, and grow here."
At the same time, I can help her develop a learning plan so that while enjoying the joys of childhood, she can gradually learn about and handle clan affairs, preparing her for future responsibilities. This way, we meet her current needs while also taking responsibility for her future. What do you think?
The old clan chief of Huanglong pondered for a moment, seemingly weighing Chen Ping's suggestion. After a while, the old clan chief said to Chen Ping, "Chen Ping, let's go over there and talk."
After saying that, Elder Huanglong slowly walked to the side. Chen Ping thought for a moment and then followed him.
Ao Yunyu and Licia were left with puzzled expressions.
The Huanglong Clan Chief stood at the edge of the floating island, looking down at the scenery of the Heart of the Divine Island. From here, one could see how abundant the resources of the Heart of the Divine Island were—yes, abundant, not just plentiful.
{Heart of the Divine Island says: Yes, you're absolutely right!}
The resources of the Heart of the Divine Island are diverse, at least several times that of the Huanglong clan, but in terms of abundance, they are probably not as good as those of the Huanglong clan. After all, the Heart of the Divine Island is only worth about ten years at most.
That's right, Elder Huanglong has also remembered. Chen Ping should be the newcomer who signed the contract with Ao Yu, right? Otherwise, Yun Yu wouldn't have come this way so accurately, hehe.
Yunyu is still young, and besides the dragon spies, there are other spies in the sea that she has not yet learned about.
But to the surprise of Elder Huanglong, Chen Ping's development was so exaggerated that in just ten years, his power had become stronger than some of the top forces among the core forces.
No wonder these islands haven't been transformed into divine kingdoms; they simply don't need them.
Looking at Chen Ping as he approached, the Huanglong clan chief looked at him seriously and said, "Chen Ping, that little girl Yunyu, you made a contract with her when she was just born, right?"
(⊙o⊙)… Chen Ping looked at Elder Huanglong with some surprise, thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Yes, that’s right. Elder, how did you know?”
Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Elder Huanglong slowly said, "Because I was the one who took care of Yunyu's batch of children back then, and I still remember the scene from that time."
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Ping's reply, he went back directly. Looking at Ao Yunyu, who was happily chatting and playing with Licia and the others, the Huanglong Clan Chief couldn't help but smile.
He looked around and saw that the clansmen also expressed their approval of the proposal. Finally, he slowly nodded and said to Chen Ping, who had walked back, "Alright, Chen Ping, your proposal sounds reasonable."
Yunyu, with Chen Ping and these new friends guiding you, I believe you'll learn a lot. But remember, this period is also a test; you must demonstrate your ability to take responsibility.
Upon hearing this decision, Ao Yunyu's eyes immediately lit up. She looked gratefully at Chen Ping and Licia, her little face beaming with joy: "Thank you, Brother Chen Ping, thank you, Licia. I will definitely work hard and won't let you down!"
Licia cheered with joy, as if she had won a small victory herself. She took Ao Yunyu's hand and said excitedly, "Great! Now we can play together to our hearts' content and study together. Just thinking about it makes me happy!"
Chen Ping looked at the old patriarch of the Huanglong clan with some confusion. He thought the old patriarch would ask him to break the contract with Ao Yunyu. After all, with the strength of the Huanglong clan, breaking a mount contract would be very simple.
However, he was also very happy with this result. After all, Ao Yunyu was still very appealing. The little guy was the next patriarch of the Huanglong Clan, which meant they were natural allies.
