Chapter 977 Bird in a Cage
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 also the eldest young master of our Dragon Clan."
At this time, an elder stood up with a serious expression, "Chief, we can't take the recognition of relatives too lightly! How can we take his one-sided words seriously? We must do a blood test and measure his bloodline 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 aura of dragon on Xie Shiwang.
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 the appearance of Xie Shiwang has brought a stain to their dragon clan.
"I am willing to take the test." Xie Shiwang looked straight ahead and changed the subject, "My son must 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 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 trace of guilt surged in his heart.
Upon 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.
In the cool breeze, 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 the jewelry she wore was very luxurious.
She was in the pavilion, fanning herself with a small fan, while grabbing a handful of fish food from a small plate held by a maid beside 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 have great strength.
The woman's slightly dissatisfied voice came slowly, "As soon as your young master heard about other things, he abandoned me."
Upon hearing this, the maid beside her carefully comforted her, "Miss Shen, you hold a very high position in the young master's heart. Today's incident was indeed sudden, so the young master can only 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 food from the small dish and threw it into the lake.
The fish gathered again.
Chen Xun lowered his eyes to look at the fish in the water, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"Actually, I don't like your young master very much."
The maid bowed 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 Shen Xun, and he never thought that she would say such hurtful words.
Chen Xun laughed and said, "Long Qianxu is a very boring person. He is also paranoid and doesn't like to respect my opinions. He is like a cow."
"Miss Shen, please be careful with your words!" One of the servants could no longer bear 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 don't belittle the young master, Miss Shen. The young master has done more for you..."
"Did I ask him to do it?" Chen Xun's smile deepened.
She took a step forward, and her dark red skirt dragged on the ground, swaying gracefully as she walked.
Just as she was about to walk out of the pavilion, two servants stopped her.
“Miss Shen, you can’t leave here without the young master’s order.”
"Why should I leave?"
“Ms. Shen, please don’t embarrass your subordinates.”
"I want you to make things difficult for you guys?" Chen Xun said, and walked directly 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 as a canary, but what do you treat me as? A bird in a cage?"
"We dare not!" The two servants immediately raised their hands and bowed, lowering their heads.
"Don't dare?" Chen Xun sneered, "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 the palm of his left hand 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 servants immediately and respectfully welcomed Chen Xun back to the pavilion.
Chen Xun sat down and looked at the cakes and tea on the stone table, feeling very angry.
She likes drinking.
Who likes this stuff?
Long Qianxu was an inhuman thing. He didn't let her drink, leave, or find her relatives.
She had been trapped with him for almost three months.
If she hadn't temporarily lost her spiritual power, how could she be bound by him?
When she thought about Chen Yan leaving, she became furious.
If she had known last night, she would have just made him miserable!
Chen Xun exuded a cold aura, and the maid beside him didn't dare to say anything.
Fortunately, she still has three days...
It will take three days to recover my spiritual power.
This time, no one could stop her from leaving.
…
The other side.
On the spirit boat that was sailing towards the Thousand Spirit Forest, several people were either meditating, sleeping, or trying to refine fire.
The red-haired boy frowned, looking puzzled.
Why can't he create fire?
He took out a book on martial arts techniques and opened it to read.
He knew each individual word, but why was it so difficult to understand when they were put together?
He muttered to himself.
At this time, there was still a person doing nothing on the spirit boat.
The man was dressed in purple, his face was like that of a god, he was devilishly handsome, and his hair was like silver threads.
He looked at Chen Yan who was meditating and practicing not far away.
He lowered his eyes; he could feel the other person's distance.
And at this moment, there was suddenly another person beside him.
"Brother Yao, can you make my spirit line produce flames? The kind that only burns others but not my spirit line?"
