Soon, Mist Ancestor brought them to the mountain where Long Ke lived—a solemn, majestic hall that fully displayed the dignity of the White Dragon Clan.
Lu Yin preferred simple, natural surroundings. He did not particularly like buildings like this, but there was no denying that such architecture made the power it represented more intimidating.
There was no one inside the hall. It was cold and empty.
In Lu Yin's understanding, this hall should have been bustling, with guards, maids, and the like everywhere. However, after Long Ke disappeared, no one knew where those people had gone.
"I don't like this place." Long Xi stood inside the hall and slowly spoke, her voice echoing throughout it. If Mist Ancestor had not confirmed that there was no problem, Lu Yin would not have dared let her speak so loudly.
This was one of the Four Sides Heavenly Balance's territories—the residence of the White Dragon Clan's patriarch.
"It's too cold here," Long Xi said softly.
Lu Yin said, "There should have been many people here before. It's only because your father disappeared that no one's left."
Long Xi shook her head and looked at Lu Yin, her bright eyes filled with indescribable emotion. "It has nothing to do with whether there are many people or few. Everyone here is too cold." She turned to look around. "Our branch replaced the main branch. Before that, we didn't live here. But after the main branch disappeared, we moved here. Father built this hall and brought Long Tian and me inside. At that time, he told me that everything had changed. From then on, I could go anywhere in Dragon Mountain without needing Fourth Sister to take me."
"But I preferred having Fourth Sister take us around. I liked having him take me around."
