At last, Long Ling nodded slightly with some displeasure, glancing at Wang Ye, but still spoke up, "Forget it, I can tell that he didn't do it on purpose."

With Wang Yifeng covering for him, Long Ling had no way to see what Wang Ye was thinking.

But just by looking at Wang Ye's expression, Long Ling could tell whether Wang Ye had done it intentionally or not.

And, what Wang Yifeng said also made a lot of sense.

As for Wang Ye, if he really had that kind of boldness, although such an action was courting death, his strength would definitely not be limited to this.

Since Long Ling had spoken thus, the other members of the Dragon Family kept silent as well.

After all, although Wang Yifeng's strength wasn't as great as theirs, they had to give him some face to a certain extent.

Of course, they also believed that Wang Ye genuinely had not done it intentionally.

Otherwise, even with Wang Yifeng present, they might have taken the risk and directly targeted Wang Yifeng too.

Next came the banquet.

During the banquet, several trusted followers of the Dragon Family came to report that they had spotted some individuals with strange trails in the City of the Wolong and the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion.

And there were others who, although their trails weren't strange and they appeared openly, it was clear from their behavior that they seemed to be searching for something.

After hearing the reports from his trusted followers, Long Ling knew roughly what was going on.

The two Golden Dragons that appeared in the ancestral hall, as well as the Ancestral Dragon that later appeared in the sky, were probably seen by many people.

And on the Dragon Family's side, because the Dragon Family lacked heirs, they had always been the focus of many people's attention.

The celestial phenomenon concerning the Dragon Family naturally led to many people sending their own to start investigating the moment the incident occurred.

"You may leave now, those people will not be able to uncover anything at the moment. We can only wait for further news from us," Long Ling instructed as he spoke without any concern.

After all, the event had concluded.

They were merely having a meal, that's all!

Moreover, the incident just now was only witnessed by the members of the Dragon Family, and there were no outsiders present. As long as the members of the Dragon Family didn't speak, the incident would not possibly leak out.

One family.

How could there be a traitor?

Wang Ye, however, was preoccupied with thoughts.

An Ancestral Dragon had emerged within him, and he could feel that Long Ling had no designs on him.

He could sense it.

Just now, although Long Ling showed dissatisfaction on his face toward him, Wang Ye knew it was only because his Ancestral Dragon had overshadowed the two Golden Dragons, and he had directly engulfed the two Golden Dragons as well as the Dragon Ball.

But what about the other members of the Dragon Family?

Did the other members of the Dragon Family have a traitor among them?

Not necessarily!

Before coming here, Wang Yifeng had told both Wang Ye and Long Qingtian about some of the Dragon Family's situation.

And in Wang Ye's opinion, it was too much of a coincidence that all the heirs of the Dragon Family had died; perhaps it was caused by leaks from the members of the Dragon Family.

One must be on guard!

After the follower left, Long Ling looked over at Wang Ye, and seeing a worried look on his face, he thought that Wang Ye was still brooding over the earlier incident.

Worry.

Upon hearing this, Long Ling smiled and said to Wang Ye, "Wang Ye, you needn't be so cautious. Everyone knows that you certainly wouldn't summon an ancestral dragon for no reason. Moreover, with your realm, if you were to control the ancestral dragon, even if it were just a phantom, by the time you commanded the dragon to complete that series of actions, your spiritual power would have been exhausted."

"You wouldn't have been as untroubled mentally as you were just now."

When the incident first occurred, Long Ling and the others, because of their excited emotions, had neglected many things.

But now, having calmed down, the various aspects of the event surfaced in their minds like glimpsing flowers while riding past on horseback.

This realization quickly dawned on them.

The gaze with which the members of the Dragon Family now regarded Wang Ye had an inexplicable sense of kinship.

On one hand, it was because Wang Ye was a disciple of Wang Yifeng, who had just then, helped them find Long Qingtian.

Furthermore, within Wang Ye, resided an ancestral dragon.

Being dragons, they felt a sort of connection originating from the same source.

"Mm, it's nothing. I'm just unclear as to why that incident occurred." Wang Ye forced a smile on his face.

The members of the Dragon Family had no idea what Wang Ye was truly worried about.

And to those members of the Dragon Family, Wang Ye's contrived smile appeared more like ongoing concern.

But they had already coaxed him enough; speaking any further to Wang Ye now would be meaningless. He needed to overcome this hurdle on his own.

Then, Long Ling turned to Wang Yifeng:

"Sword God Wang, how shall we speak of this matter to the outside world?"

Wang Yifeng was not a member of the Long Family.

But he was present during the recent event.

Before they spread the word outward, they had to unify the narrative.

"Just say that the Long Family has brought back a descendant who had run away from home and, due to the ancestry tracing back in the bloodline, two types of bloodlines appeared."

Ever since that scene unfolded, Wang Yifeng had been contemplating how to resolve the issue.

As Long Ling asked him, he directly gave his answer.

Long Ling, as well as the other members of the Dragon Family, fell into contemplation.

Long Ling immediately burst into hearty laughter:

"Deserving of the name Sword God Wang, this is an excellent idea!"

That very afternoon.

The Long Family directly spread the news.

Their Family had found the child of a Long Family member who had run away from home many years ago, and tested the purity of the bloodline.

The bloodline was not only pure but also showed signs of ancestral return.

Even an ancestral dragon had appeared!

This news, once relayed from the City Lord's Mansion, was swiftly spread among the other families and city-states, causing those who heard it to feel surprised and to start discussing.

"I really didn't expect that these guys from the Long Family, when nearly facing a dead end, could still find the son of someone who left the Long Family hundreds of years ago. It's quite the surprise."

"The vassal families in the City of the Wolong, who had had some ideas before, probably wouldn't dare to entertain those thoughts now."

"It's a pity for those vassal families. To compete for the position of the Family Head of the Long Family, who knows how much effort they've secretly put in. Now, almost all of their previous efforts have been in vain."

As people discussed the event, recalling the anguished expressions of those ambitious families, they felt an immense sense of gratification within.
