When the Dragon Emperor heard this, he smiled and said, “To be honest, early this morning, I received a reply from King Ye from Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital saying that since Prince was coming, he would also drop by. It seems King Ye has deep feelings for Prince.”

Yan Tianhen, “…”

Deep feelings, what deep feelings? His father and dad must be coming to demand an explanation.

The eyes of the Dragon Queen darted between Yan Tianhen and Lin Xuanzhi several times, and her lips hooked into a smile. “I heard later that when the Rong family’s First Elder led the Rong family to ask for an account from Myriad Dao Academy, Huarong Sword Venerable addressed Prince Ye as ‘my wife’. Since one of them is part of the orthodox Dao and the other is the successor to the Qianyuan Dynasty, how can there be such a relationship? I don’t know who would spread rumors to slander the two…”

“Who says it’s slander? This is the truth.” Yan Tianhen felt a little unhappy when he heard this. He spoke with a dark expression, “Although the address ‘my wife’ is a little biased, Xuanzhi and I are indeed Dao companions. We only need to perform the Dao companion ceremony.”

The Dragon Queen’s smile suddenly froze, and a slight and undetectable trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she quickly put it away. “I didn’t expect that the Light of Daoism and my future emperor of the Qianyuan Dynasty would really have such a relationship. I wonder when the two of you are going to hold a ceremony?”

“It’ll have to wait until Hai Shixiong gets what he wants, and we’ll finish on a happy note with a Dao companion ceremony.” Yan Tianhen smiled meaningfully, “When the time comes, I will send an invitation to the Dragon Queen. The Dragon Queen must not be stingy with gifts.”

Since others dared to beat around the bush to say that he and Lin Xuanzhi weren’t suitable, of course he wouldn’t just endure it. When was he ever a soft persimmon?

What’s more, when the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Queen came here, they didn’t say a word to Hai Kuanglang, as if they hadn’t known such a person at all, which greatly upset Yan Tianhen.

If you dared to respond to him, he would naturally Respond back.

As soon as the Dragon Queen heard this, her face looked really ugly. She glanced at Hai Kuanglang with contempt, and her heart became more and more disgusted and vigilant.

This little bastard used to annoy her everyday when he was in the family. Now that he came back, he definitely wants to rob the position of the heir reserved for her own son. As a Dragon Queen, how could she like Hai Kuanglang?

However, the Dragon Emperor looked at Hai Kuanglang with calm eyes and smiled faintly. “Little Lang is willing to come back. I thought you had a big temper and would never come back for a lifetime.”

Hai Kuanglang’s eyes were cold, but the corners of his lips raised into a smile. He looked at the Dragon Emperor and said, “I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint the Emperor. When I left, I made an oath in the land of the dragon clan. One day, I will move my mother’s grave to the Holy Land of the dragon clan, so that her spirit in heaven can rest in peace. Now, I’m just coming back to complete my oath.”

The Dragon Queen was instantly livid.

All the elders, younger generation, and disciples of the dragon clan arrived in a uniform manner.

A five-or six-year-old child held his mother’s leg and asked curiously, “Who is this big brother? Is he also competing for the position of prince? But why haven’t I seen this brother before?”

“Shh.” The mother of the child quickly covered the child’s mouth for fear that he would say something wrong and cause trouble.

“The boy is arrogant!” When the cold voice rang out, a man with thick hair came out and stood beside the Dragon Queen, staring angrily at Hai Kuanglang. “Longyao Jing is a disgrace to the dragon clan. It was the kindness of the emperor that didn’t have her bones lost and ashes thrown away in those days. But you have made no contribution to the dragon clan, and your blood is impure. How can you make up a tall-story and try to compete for the position of heir? I, Longyao Wuji, will be the first to refuse!”

Yan Tianhen turned his head and asked Hai Kuanglang, “Who is this?”

Hai Kuanglang clicked his tongue and replied, “He’s the father of the Dragon Queen and an elder of the dragon clan. His cultivation is not high, but he has always been pretentious and self righteous.”

“What did you say!?” Longyao Wuji immediately turned red, his anger aroused.

“Elder Wuji, what you said just now doesn’t make sense.”

Zhan Fengting, who never spoke, saw that Longyao Wuji’s fist was gathering spiritual Qi, about to strike Hai Kuanglang. Then he came forward and said softly, “Princess Jing was the Holy Maiden in those days. Her bloodline has the right of inheritance. However, the current Dragon Queen does not have the bloodline of the Holy Maiden. It’s only because the Emperor’s bloodline power is strong that her son can have the inheritance opportunity. If you really want to talk about blood, Hai Kuanglang will never lose to anyone.”

The Dragon Queen immediately clenched her fist, and her carefully trimmed fingernails almost broke into her palm. Her old blood made its way to her throat, and she almost felt her chest tighten and her breath shorten–

The Dragon Emperors throughout history had always married the Holy Maidens. Naturally, their descendants had the right of inheritance, and they could guarantee the purest bloodline in order to obtain the most inheritance.

However, everything changed when it came to the dragon clan’s current emperor.

The Dragon Queen he married wasn’t actually the Holy Maiden. Instead, he married a woman from the side branch with the purest bloodline — Longyao Lanzhi. And this generation’s Holy Maiden also left a child, but she never revealed anything about the father’s identity. Because she became pregnant before marriage, she was regarded as the shame of the Longyao family.

Hai Kuanglang was that child.

Therefore, he was rejected and despised everywhere, but at the same time, the Longyao clan also had no choice but to admit his right of inheritance in accordance with the ancestral teachings. This was a great insult to Longyao Lanzhi.

If anyone in the Longyao family hated Hai Kuanglang the most, it was Longyao Lanzhi.

She wasn’t the Holy Maiden. This was the biggest hidden pain in Longyao Lanzhi’s heart since she lived to this day. The existence of Hai Kuanglang undoubtedly poked her sore spot plainly and put it under the sun, so that everyone could take in everything at a glance.

The Dragon Emperor narrowed his eyes and said, “What you said is true. Ah Jing didn’t save you in vain back then. Even after all these years, you’re still with Hai Kuanglang.”

Zhan Fengting looked at the Dragon Emperor. “The kindness of a drop of water should be rewarded with a gushing spring.”

In the presence of many outsiders, they couldn’t reveal the Longyao clan’s inner conflicts any further. The Dragon Emperor spoke out and invited Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen to enter the Dragon Palace, interrupting the argument between Hai Kuanglang and the Dragon Queen for the time being.

The buildings in the Dragon Palace were mostly carved with white jade, and they were magnificent, solemn, and gorgeous. The top of the palace was extremely high, resplendent and spectacular, looking very lavish.

Because Huarong Sword Venerable was fond of peace and quiet, after entering the Dragon Palace, the Dragon Emperor let others go ahead and continue to prepare for the heir election in half a month, while he personally accompanied Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen to walk around the Dragon Palace.

Although the Dragon Emperor turned a blind eye to Hai Kuanglang, he was very considerate to Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen.

“The Longyao family has not been in contact with the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital for a long time. The last time we sent someone to the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital, it was to pay the sparrow spirit tribute. Seeing the Prince today, he truly is a dragon and phoenix among the people,” the Dragon Emperor complimented.

Yan Tianhen waved his hand. “My eldest martial brother is also a dragon and phoenix among men. Why doesn’t the Dragon Emperor favor him more?”

This was only because Yan Tianhen dared to question him. If it was anyone else, they wouldn’t have the guts.

The Dragon Emperor said, “This matter involves the old affairs of our Longyao family. Prince doesn’t know the situation, so he thinks I’m not treating him well, but back then, I also spent considerable effort to save his life.”

Lin Xuanzhi looked up and asked faintly, “Hai Kuanglang’s mother should have originally married the Dragon Emperor, right?”

The Dragon Emperor nodded, but it was hard to know what he was thinking. He sighed lightly and said, “That’s it. But the Holy Maiden of my generation is actually my younger sister. Who knows what kind of joke the Dragon God is playing on me.”

“So what if she’s your younger sister?” Yan Tianhen asked, “If she can’t marry you, she can always marry someone else. The dragon bloodline can’t just die like this.”

The Dragon Emperor shook his head. “The Holy Maiden can only marry the future Dragon Emperor. If not, she will have to worship the Dragon God all her life and keep her virginity, or else she will have committed a great taboo in the dragon clan rules.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “The dragon clan’s selection of heirs is perhaps too sudden.”

“Huarong Sword Venerable seems to be implying something.” The Dragon Emperor looked at Lin Xuanzhi rather inquisitively.

“I just think the timing is too opportune,” Lin Xuanzhi replied. “As soon as evil Qi cultivators appeared, there was a movement in the dragon clan.”

Others didn’t know this, but he knew that the Dragon God in the Dragon Tomb Holy Land was the very same dragon ancestor who died at the hands of Youshan Lingyu ten thousand years ago. This made Lin Xuanzhi wonder what the inevitable connection was, or what the Dragon God had predicted.

The Dragon Emperor shook his head and looked at Lin Xuanzhi with profound meaning. “No, what I meant was, Huarong Sword Venerable was just talking about my younger sister, but brought up the Dragon Tomb in the next sentence. What is the profound meaning behind this?”

Lin Xuanzhi paused. “Why do you think so?”

The Dragon Emperor naturally said, “My grandfather once earnestly warned me that a Grandmaster’s every word contains deep meaning. When I don’t understand something, I should ask clarifying questions without worrying about my status.”

Lin Xuanzhi, “…”

Yan Tianhen coughed softly. “Dragon Emperor, it’s a misunderstanding. My Dage changed the subject because he realized that you didn’t want to talk more about the secrets of the dragon clan, so he didn’t inquire further.”

The Dragon Emperor, “…”

Now this is a little fucking embarrassing.

The Dragon Emperor also coughed softly and said, “To tell you the truth, the matter of my younger sister is taboo in the whole dragon clan. No one has mentioned it since Little Lang left for so many years. When it comes to Ah Jing, it’s always strange. It’s not like I can’t mention it.” As soon as the Dragon Emperor turned his eyes, he saw Yan Tianhen’s eyes full of desire for gossip.

The Dragon Emperor, “…”

Seeing such a gaze on him, he would feel guilty if he didn’t recount the story now.

“This matter should not have been said, but since Prince is a fellow martial brother of Little Lang and came to help him out, I can talk about it a little.”

Looking at the twilight sky, the Dragon Emperor looked disappointed. “Since Ah Jing’s birth, she was recognized as a Holy Maiden by the last Holy Maiden of the dragon clan, that is, our mother. This incident brought great shock to the dragon clan. Ah Jing and I are of the same blood and are destined to be unable to give birth to a dragon son, so the dragon clan fell into panic for a while.”

Sarah: woah that’s messed up. And if Youshan Lingyu killed the previous dragon god, why do I get the feeling Hai Kuanglang is now a certain someone’s reincarnation XD
