On this day, everyone heard that the Sixth Elder had returned, but soon left again.
This time was different. The Sixth Elder walked out of the sect with a limp, followed by the sect leader, the first elder, and others who looked refreshed.
It's said that everyone seemed to hear a dragon's roar that day, but it wasn't the junior sister's...
When Yuheng arrived at the Jiaolong clan, the entire clan was on high alert. That scoundrel had come again. Years ago, when he came to deliver gifts, he turned the Jiaolong clan upside down, making their lives miserable. And now he's back!
"I am Yuheng, the sixth elder of the Tianji Sect. I have come to pick up Xiaobailong and disciple Lexi. Please inform them of my arrival." Yuheng was courteous and composed himself as he stood before the secret realm of the Jiaolong Clan.
The dragon guarding the gate: I already notified you before you arrived!
"Godfather!" Nian Wanzhou, who was aimlessly wandering around the clan with no one willing to guide her, spotted Yuheng. "Godfather, what brings you here?"
All the dragons: !!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ She's actually that devil's adopted daughter! No wonder she's so domineering.
"Wanwan, it's all your godfather's fault for not returning in time, making you suffer." Ignoring the surprised looks from others, Yuheng hugged Nian Wanzhou in his arms. "It's your godfather's fault; I shouldn't have left you in the sect to face danger alone."
"No, not at all. My senior sisters and brothers have always been watching over my safety. This was a complete accident. It's not my godfather's or everyone's fault." Finally back with familiar people, Nian Wanzhou couldn't help but sob softly.
"Godfather, thanks to Senior Brother Le and his clansmen, as well as Master, Senior Sister and those elders, I was able to stay here safely this time."
"Godfather, you were able to find me, did you know from the beginning... that I would appear there?"
Yuheng paused. His feelings for Nian Wanzhou were complicated; he now regarded her completely as his own daughter.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone around looking for a successor for her.
After much deliberation, he finally decided to admit it: "Godfather was indeed waiting for you to appear, but everyone's feelings for you are genuine, there's no exploitation involved. You are our precious treasure!"
"I...I know..." Nian Wanzhou just felt that all of this was too coincidental. In a daze, everything became real, a truth that struck right to the heart.
Perhaps in some time and space, someone is waiting for you to appear...
"Don't be afraid, none of us will do anything to you." Yuheng hugged Nian Wanzhou tightly. This child was the last hope of their Canglong clan.
......
"Old man Le, don't you two have anything better to do? What are you saying to my little dragon cub like that!" Yuheng slammed his hand on the table, his suppressed anger reignited by the two of them. "I'm warning you, don't corrupt my precious daughter!"
Elder Yue shrugged indifferently: "How long can you keep it from her? Didn't you also start looking for her after reading the prophecy?"
"What quirks are you talking about? As a dragon, to have such strange quirks, aren't you ashamed?"
"What's so shameful about it? So what if I have a special fetish? You also picked up a sullen kid who's always so grumpy. Can he be as fragrant as my daughter?" Yuheng also sprawled out and sat down without any trace of the anger he had just shown.
It's like a joke.
Elder Le threw a piece of spiritual fruit at Yuheng and said with dissatisfaction, "How dare you say that? The dragon cub just arrived here and is already fighting with our cubs. Just as rude as you."
"Oh? You really have my style. But you guys are really something. You have no manners at all. Your distinguished guests have arrived and you still let them be bullied. I won't hold it against you this time, but if there's a next time..." Yuheng opened his mouth to take the spirit fruit, bit down hard, and the spirit fruit 'crunched' into pieces.
Chieftain: Impressive. Then, with practiced ease, he laid out food and tea, intending to quietly watch them argue.
“You’re not wrong, Yuheng. All these years, haven’t we all been trying to find hope? Now that we’ve found it, we can’t keep it from her forever.” The clan leader ate a piece of spiritual fruit and continued.
"And she's not as simple as you think; she knew..."
Yuheng also ate a piece: "I don't believe it. She's only one year old, just over a year and a half old since she was born. How could she possibly know?"
Elder Yue sipped his tea: "Don't be skeptical. These days, divine beasts develop intelligence much earlier, and her spiritual root is no ordinary thing. All of this is due to numerous prophecies, and it's also a predetermined fate."
Sure enough, they started bickering.
Yuheng retorted indignantly, "Prophecy, prophecy again! It's about making people sacrifice themselves. I don't want my precious daughter to do that."
"That's not up to you."
"You old geezer, can't you say something nice?"
"Then why did you bring her back? Wouldn't it be better to let her be free and unrestrained in the Clear Lake Secret Realm? The secret realm is safe, and there's a group of old guys protecting her. No one will bother them."
"you......"
In the end, the bickering ended hastily with Yuheng speechless, and the three of them chatted in a chaotic manner without any clear focus.
"What's the astrological sign like lately?" The clan chief broke the silence after finishing his meal and drink.
"It's better now. At least it's not as chaotic as it was hundreds of years ago. It's showing signs of a pattern. However, those two Heavenly Stars have always been very weak, while the Purple Star has been getting closer to the Heavenly Stars..." Elder Le took out his astrolabe and examined it carefully.
"You said the same thing a while ago." The clan leader also leaned over to look and muttered a silent complaint.
Elder Le kicked him: "You brat. There's a star destined for heaven that's been tainted by the power of the Purple Star and is growing bigger and bigger. Sigh, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
"If there's nothing going on, that's a good thing." Yuheng also came over and rolled her eyes when she heard this.
"One or two young lads... why would this happen? Could it be that the White Dragon has come into contact with the Chosen One?" Elder Yue pondered, then suddenly remembered something. "Did any of your Azure Dragon Clan's ancestors have a Chosen One?"
"No, right?" Yuheng thought for a moment and realized that there didn't seem to be any. The white dragon ancestor from ten thousand years ago wasn't exactly a chosen one.
"Look, those two stars of destiny were originally shining together, and their colors were exactly the same. But now, one of them is even brighter, and it's even approaching the Purple Star. Do you think the White Dragon has already found the chosen one himself?" Elder Le felt for a moment that he had guessed correctly. This would explain why the star of destiny kept moving closer to the Purple Star.
"Are you sure?" Yuheng also became serious.
He had calculated that the Ziwei star would be born in these few years, so he frantically searched for the child, and in the end, he actually found Nian Wanzhou.
