However, this tranquility did not last long. Long Yan's brows suddenly wrinkled slightly, as if he sensed something. He slowly waved his sleeves and said in a calm and powerful voice: "Come in."
As he finished speaking, the door of the study room opened silently, and a man dressed in black with a stern face walked into the room. His steps were steady, and every step revealed an extraordinary aura.
The mysterious figure who left a deep impression on the island.
The moment the man in black stepped into the study, his eyes naturally fell on Long Chen. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly regained his composure and did not speak immediately. Obviously, he felt uncomfortable about meeting Long Chen on this occasion.
Somewhat unexpected.
Seeing this, Long Yan raised an indifferent smile at the corner of his mouth. He was well aware of the other party's concerns, so he explained softly: "If you have anything to say, just say it. As my son, Long Chen will inherit my position sooner or later. Let him listen.
Listen, so that he can understand the troubles and responsibilities of this world earlier."
Hearing this, the man in black bowed respectfully, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Excellency!"
Then, he said in a deep voice the purpose of his visit, "We have found the whereabouts of the fourth Demon Sect treasure, and that treasure actually appeared on the body of a young man named Ling Xiao."
This person is currently being coveted by many forces. Some forces in the Empress Palace, Jiang Family, Ji Family, and even the Holy Church are hunting him down, all because of the treasures on his body. However, what is surprising is that
, not many people know that the object is the true form of the Demon Sect’s most precious treasure, and most of the forces are probably just blindly following suit and coveting the treasure.”
"What did you say his name was?" Long Chen's voice suddenly rose, with a hint of excitement and eagerness that could not be concealed. He turned around suddenly and stared at the man in black who had just reported the news, as if every word was missing.
They were all as heavy as a stone, hitting him in the heart.
Ever since he chose to enter reincarnation and stepped into the vast world of Baize Continent, the endless longing and concern for his relatives in his heart had never stopped.
Especially the memories of his eldest brother Ling Xiao and his third brother Jin Yan were like treasures buried deep in his heart. Occasionally, when they appeared, they made his heart surge and he couldn't control himself. At this moment, when this familiar name suddenly sounded in his ears, the long-lost feeling
A sense of intimacy suddenly surged into his heart, making him almost unable to control himself.
"Master Qi, his name is Ling Xiao." The man in black confirmed again, with a hint of unnoticeable doubt in his tone, but it was more of respect and understanding for Long Chen's reaction.
He knew very well that in this family, although Long Chen was young, he held a decisive position and had extraordinary wisdom and courage. Therefore, even if he was confused, he chose to answer truthfully and wait patiently.
One step instructions.
Immediately afterwards, the man in black seemed to feel the need to put forward his own suggestion, so he added: "My subordinates boldly suggested that we should take action as soon as possible to capture that treasure. In this way, our Demon Suppressing Mansion will have one more
The capital for bargaining with the Holy Church and even other forces will also be of great benefit to the future situation."
His voice was calm and firm, revealing his dedication to the mission and loyalty to his family.
However, just when Long Yan was about to speak, Long Chen took the lead and said with unquestionable determination in his tone: "Father, let's leave this matter to the child. The person who possesses the treasure seems to be the child whom the child has not known for many years.
I met an old acquaintance——Brother Ling Xiao."
Speaking of this, Long Chen's eyes flashed with complicated emotions, including surprise, nostalgia, and even more anticipation and anxiety about the upcoming reunion. He knew that this was not just a simple treasure hunt, but also a journey between him and his loved ones.
The opportunity of reunion is an opportunity that he must seize personally.
After Long Yan heard Long Chen's answer, he was slightly startled, a complicated look flashed across his deep eyes, and then he waved his hand gently, with unquestionable majesty in his tone: "You all go out,
This matter needs long-term consideration.”
As soon as the words fell, everyone who was standing in the study seemed to have received an invisible instruction and hurriedly bowed and retreated. Even the guards waiting outside the door consciously retreated hundreds of steps away to ensure that no one would disturb the conversation in the study.
.
After the silence returned to the study room, Long Yan's eyes fell on Long Chen again. Those eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. He spoke slowly, with some indescribable emotion in his voice: "Could it be that this Ling Xiao is you?
The sworn brothers you always mention and never forget in your heart?"
After saying this, there was a trace of tenderness and understanding in his eyes, and he obviously had a deep understanding of Long Chen's emotional world.
"I don't dare to deceive my father, it's him!" Long Chen's answer was firm and sincere. His eyes were shining with anticipation and excitement, as if he couldn't wait to meet his long-lost brother again. This deep brotherhood
The friendship made him seem particularly sincere and touching at this moment.
When Long Yan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh softly, and a faint smile appeared on his face. It was an expression that was both gratifying and complicated: "This is such a coincidence, and the fate is really wonderful. Well, since it is yours
Brother, then I’ll leave this matter to you.”
"However, Chen'er, you have to remember that we need to be cautious in our actions, and we must not let the Holy Church get a hold of us. After all, nominally, we manage the Demon Suppression Mansion for the Holy Church, and any action needs to be considered.
To this level of relationship." His tone contained not only trust in Long Chen, but also expectations and reminders for his future actions.
"My child knows!" Long Chen nodded solemnly. He knew well the weight and meaning of his father's words. He turned around to leave, but the moment he was about to step out of the study, he couldn't help but stop and looked through the window.
, and cast it towards the endless mountains in the distance.
There, his elder brother's figure seemed to be calling him, which filled his heart with unspeakable excitement and expectation. He secretly made up his mind to find Ling Xiao's elder brother as soon as possible and share the deep brotherly love with him.
…
Ling Xiao and Jin Yan quietly left the island. Under the cover of the night and dense forest, their figures were as silent as two ghosts, ensuring that every step they took did not leave any traces, so as not to alert unnecessary eyes and ears.
They knew that the purpose of this trip was extremely sensitive and dangerous, and they had to take action against the Jiang family while ensuring nothing went wrong.
As the footsteps gradually approached, the outline of the Jiang family gradually became clearer in the dim light of the morning.
This is a land carved by time and glory. Even if you look at it from a distance, you can still feel the afterglow of its past glory. As one of the seven major families in the East China Sea, the Jiang family has a name resounding throughout the world and its power is huge.
, enough to scare any small family.
"Jiang City", this city named after the Jiang family, seems to be a symbol of the Jiang family's power and status.
