"What did you say?"
"Hero No. 1, say that again."
"How did Long Xingyu look at Cai'er???"
Saint Moon roared, shock flashing through her eyes. This situation had truly caught her off guard.
"The way Long Xingyu looked at Cai'er was like a father-in-law looking at his daughter-in-law."
"It was as though he had already decided that Cai'er would marry into the Long family."
Hero No. 1 spoke hesitantly. The moment he said those words, he had already anticipated Saint Moon's coming reaction, and clearly, he had guessed right.
Upon hearing this, Saint Moon stood up in stunned silence.
"No, what is that brat Long Xingyu—"
"What exactly is he thinking?"
"He only just saw Cai'er, yet he has already taken a liking to her and wants to arrange a childhood betrothal?"
"Besides, it wasn't as if he couldn't sense it. Cai'er is the Reincarnation Saintess! His son is completely unknown—how could he possibly be worthy of Cai'er?"
"Could it be that his son is the Son of Light? Is this God's Chosen matched with God's Chosen?"
Saint Moon was agitated. She immediately rose, ignoring Hero No. 1 as she slowly flew up, heading east toward Dragon Control Pass.
"Temple Master, where are you planning to go?" Hero No. 1 was startled. He immediately stood and looked toward Saint Moon, hurriedly asking.
"Of course I'm going to Dragon Control Pass to find that brat Long Xingyu and ask him what exactly he's thinking!"
Saint Moon Hero was in such a rush that she looked as if she were going there to demand an explanation.
But Hero No. 1 immediately stopped her.
"Temple Master, there's no need for that."
"The Xingyu Temple Master said that once matters at Dragon Control Pass are settled, he will personally bring that child to the Assassin Temple to visit you and Ling Xin, so you can discuss the children's affairs."
After hearing Hero No. 1's words,
Saint Moon fell even more silent.
"No, does he really mean this?"
"He even plans to pay us a visit. Is he actually intending to arrange a childhood betrothal?"
Saint Moon was utterly helpless, but her previous fury had already vanished, replaced by resignation.
Then she looked at Hero No. 1 and asked, "What did Cai'er say?"
"She even gave him the Forget-Me-Not Ring," Hero No. 1 explained.
Saint Moon: "."
It was over. The meaning could not have been clearer.
Was the cabbage from their family really about to be taken?
But this situation...
They were quite well-matched, and Cai'er was willing too?
"Ah, forget it."
"Let them come. Cai'er has indeed suffered these past few years, and her temperament has only just begun to change."
"If that child can truly give Cai'er some sense of security, then it would not be a bad match."
Saint Moon sighed. Of course, that was what she said, but she still had many things on her mind that she simply did not voice.
"Then what about Ling Xin?" Hero No. 1 asked.
"Don't tell her yet. Otherwise, once that brat hears that it's her Brother Xingyu and Long Xingyu's son, she'll probably rush to Dragon Control Pass immediately."
Saint Moon sighed.
However, a sharp glint also flashed through her eyes. The immense power belonging to a Ninth Tier Level 2 Saint surged forth at that moment.
Even if Cai'er had taken a liking to him,
if he wanted to marry the Reincarnation Saintess of my family,
then even if he was Long Tianyin's grandson and Long Xingyu's son,
he would not marry her so easily!!!
At the walls of Dragon Control Pass.
More than ten days had now passed since Long Xingyu and the others began their return journey to Dragon Control Pass.
Today was the day they returned to Dragon Control Pass.
Long Tianyin and Han Zhige had both arrived early at the gates of Dragon Control Pass, waiting there for Long Xingyu and the others to return.
There was no one else, only the two of them.
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Bai Yue in nearly ten years. I wonder when Xingyu sent Bai Yue away."
"And my eldest grandson—I haven't even seen him once since he was born. Now, I'm finally about to meet him."
Long Tianyin looked toward the desolate gate, where there was still no sign of Long Xingyu and the others.
Yet Long Tianyin had already imagined everything that would happen after their return.
At the same time, he was looking forward to seeing just what level of talent his eldest grandson, Long Haochen, possessed. Would he be able to enter the ranks of Divine Seal Knights in the future as well? By then, the Long family would have Three Divine Seals in One Family!
That would be an unprecedented feat, one no family had ever achieved in six thousand years!
"Brother Long is a genius, so his son will surely be a genius as well. Perhaps in the future, he may even have a chance to challenge the Eternal and Creation Divine Seal Throne." Han Zhige, standing beside him, smiled and spoke.
A special spiritual aura surrounded him, while a spiritual core rested within his chest. This represented that his cultivation had already entered the ninth tier.
He was now a Holy Knight.
A Ninth Tier Level 1 Holy Knight.
The youngest Holy Knight in the Knight Temple.
A few days ago, he had successfully broken through with the spiritual core method Long Xingyu had taught him, stepping into the threshold of the ninth tier. Logically, he should have headed directly to the throne statues deep within the Knight Temple to undergo the throne assessment.
Yet instinctively, Han Zhige had not wanted Long Tianyin to take him there. From the bottom of his heart, he wanted to wait for Long Xingyu's return.
So he had come here with Long Tianyin.
As for Han Zhige's words, Long Tianyin merely smiled. He did not say much more and instead looked ahead, because at that moment, a line of special magic-powered carriages was flying toward the gates of Dragon Control Pass.
Looking carefully,
one could see a layer of crimson-gold light on the magic-powered carriages, carrying waves of murderous intent. It was clearly Long Xingyu's killing spiritual energy.
That was how Long Tianyin confirmed that Long Xingyu and the others were returning.
The two immediately walked forward.
Soon, the magic-powered carriage opened, and a tall, handsome man stepped out, his entire body radiating a resolute and murderous aura.
When they saw the man appear, Long Tianyin and Han Zhige were both pleasantly surprised.
They immediately saluted him with a knight's greeting. "Xingyu."
"Brother Xingyu."
Yes, the one who had arrived was Long Xingyu.
"Father, Zhige." Long Xingyu returned the greeting.
Then his gaze fell on Han Zhige. Naturally, Long Xingyu could immediately see what was unusual about him.
He praised, "Not bad. Your spiritual core has formed. You are already a Holy Knight."
"About a dozen days ago. It was all thanks to Brother Xingyu's previous guidance. Otherwise, I certainly would not have succeeded." Han Zhige smiled broadly.
Hearing this, Long Xingyu asked in confusion, "Why didn't you undergo the throne assessment ten or so days ago?"
"Mainly because I wanted to wait for Brother Xingyu," Han Zhige answered.
"Wait for me?" Long Xingyu understood something.
"I had previously asked the Heavenly Seal Temple Master as well, but the Heavenly Seal Temple Master told me to wait for your return."
"Then go in for the assessment."
Han Zhige said this.
Then,
he seemed to think of something and praised him.
"After all, the Divine Seal Assessment is the most important matter."
"Naturally, it requires the strongest Divine Seal Knight to guard the way."
"And Brother Xingyu, you are that strongest Divine Seal Knight!"
