Just then, the eldest daughter of the Long Family, who had barely spoken and wore gold-rimmed glasses, pushed them up and spoke.
Long Qingge's voice was calm and gentle, as though she were stating a fact.
"Everyone, your offers sound tempting, but I'm afraid they hold little appeal for someone of Mister Yue's caliber."
With that, she dismissed all three offers that had come before hers.
Yi Yuanyuan, Yun Nongyue, and Hua Jieyu turned to her, visibly unconvinced.
Long Qingge paid them no mind. Instead, she looked at Yue Xiaofei with appreciation and curiosity in her eyes.
"Mister Yue, my name is Long Qingge. I come from the Long Family."
"The Long Family stands first among the Eight Great Clans. We wield considerable influence in politics, the military, and business."
"What the Long Family holds is the Dragon Kingdom's cultural legacy and... its history."

"What I can offer you isn't material wealth."
"What I can offer you is every hidden secret in the Dragon Kingdom's five thousand years of history."
"That includes the real reason your father, Yue Changlong, was wrongfully imprisoned five years ago."
"It also includes the mystery of your mother Ye Qingmei's disappearance all those years ago."
"And even the whereabouts of your sister, Yue Lingfei, who has been missing for years."
Boom!
Long Qingge's words struck Yue Xiaofei like a thunderclap exploding in his mind!

He had never imagined he would hear news of them today from a woman he had never met!
"What do you know?"
Yue Xiaofei's voice turned hoarse. He fixed Long Qingge with a razor-sharp stare!
An overwhelming aura erupted from him!
The temperature in the entire restaurant seemed to plunge
