Profound Rank 5, Gale Roc.
The Gale Roc was twice as large as the Wind Splitting Divine Roc. Moreover, it was more docile and faster than the Wind Splitting Divine Roc. It only took them half a day to travel from the Nine Demon Mountain to the Lingwu family.
Whether it was the Supreme Elder or Dongfang Xuanxiao, they both chose to use the Gale Roc as a means of transportation.
At this moment, more than ten Gale Roc were flying rapidly in the sky, leaving behind a large shadow on the distant land below. The passersby suddenly felt the sky darken. They all raised their heads and saw the wings of the Roc that covered the sky.
They knew that the people on top of the Roc were all existences of noble status.
Long Chen was sitting on the back of the Gale Roc at the very front. Dongfang Xuanxiao and Yin Mengyao were also here. As for Dongfang Tianyu, when he came, he was indeed with Dongfang Xuanxiao, but when he went back, he went to Chu Yunyao's place.
As for Liu Yuan and Liu Lan, they also abandoned the Wind Splitting Divine Roc and sat on Gu Batian's Gale Roc.
Long Chen had entered the inner clan, so Liu Yuan's position as an elder had Long Chen's support. Although he had offended Chu Tianxiong, he could still continue to sit.
When they entered the Nine Demon Mountain and left the Nine Demon Mountain, the situation changed so much that no one could have imagined it.
At this moment, the wind was howling. Dongfang Xuanxiao was sitting alone in front, while Long Chen and Yin Mengyao were chatting behind him.
"Long Chen, do you know?
After we complete the ceremony, we will have to call Lord Xuanxiao foster father. "Yin Mengyao suddenly said.
"What?" Long Chen was startled. It seemed that no one had told him about this before.
Long Chen felt that it was a little strange to recognize a foster father for no reason. After all, Long Qinglan's imprint on his heart was too deep.
"You really don't know?" Yin Mengyao was a little surprised.
"Is this a rule?" Long Chen asked doubtfully.
He thought about it. It seemed that Dongfang Xuanxiao had treated him well. If it was a rule, then he had to follow the rules now that he had entered the inner clan.
"Of course it's a rule. Of course, there are unexpected benefits as well."
Yin Mengyao didn't have any objections to this. She had lost both her parents when she was young. To be able to acknowledge a foster father, and such a heaven-defying foster father at that, was a wonderful thing for her.
"Let me tell you, this is the inner tribe selection. Those who successfully enter the inner tribe must join the Lingwu family's genealogy. There is no relationship between disciple and master in the inner tribe, only father and son or daughter. If we become inner tribe members, we naturally have to become Lord Xuan Xiao's foster children. However, don't resist it. With this identity, we will be protected by him, just like a real father. Moreover, the resources we will get will not be any worse than those inner tribe disciples."
Long Chen understood that Dongfang Xuanxiao had already acknowledged him as his foster father, so how could he not protect him?
"If I can be protected by such an awesome person, then so be it." Long Chen said indifferently.
After all, he had witnessed how powerful Dongfang Xuanxiao was.
"You really don't know how lucky you are.
It's the dream of many outsiders to acknowledge Lord Xuan Xiao as their foster father. "
"Why?"
"You know Lord Xuan Xiao's character, right?
He's very cold to outsiders, but he's actually warm on the inside. Furthermore, he's very protective of his own people. Didn't he save you after you killed Chu Yunxi and Jin Shengen? "
Dongfang Xuanxiao's character could naturally be given full marks.
To be honest, although Long Chen was extremely daring, he was still intimidated by Dongfang Xuanxiao.
"Most importantly, Lord Xuan Xiao isn't married yet. He doesn't have a son or daughter. Now that we have become his foster children, how high do you think our status will be?"
"Not married yet?" Long Chen was a little speechless. Although Dongfang Xuanxiao looked young, he was at least forty years old.
If he wasn't married at this age, he must have a complicated love story!
However, just as Yin Mengyao had said, Dongfang Xuanxiao didn't have any children. Now that they had become his children, they would naturally be doted on by him.
Their status was no different from that of the other inner tribe disciples.
"In other words, we can do whatever we want?" Long Chen's eyes lit up.
"In the Eastern Blue Dragon Family, other than the Patriarch's generation and a few elders, the four strongest people in Lord Xuan Xiao's generation are Fengyu Yunxiao. Although Lord Xuan Xiao doesn't manage the family affairs, he's rumored to be the strongest among them.
As long as the Patriarch and the elders don't show up, Lord Xuan Xiao is the strongest martial practitioner in the Dongfang Family. "
"The strongest …" Long Chen didn't have any resistance towards becoming his foster father anymore. It wasn't like someone else wanted to be his biological father. Moreover, Dongfang Xuanxiao's strength and personality were the type that he admired and liked. With such a heaven-defying existence protecting him, Long Chen would definitely prosper.
"Long Chen, do you remember what I said about the Star Demon Prison?" Yin Mengyao suddenly asked.
"Of course I do. Once we've settled down in the Dongfang Family, we'll bring it up with him."
Yin Mengyao was very grateful that Long Chen still remembered this.
"We're brother and sister from now on," she suddenly said.
"Uh …" If he and Yin Mengyao were to acknowledge Dongfang Xuanxiao as their foster father, then they would naturally be brother and sister.
"Are you still unwilling?" Yin Mengyao waved her fist and threatened when she saw Long Chen's stunned expression.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Big Sister, please accept this little brother's bow."
"I have a younger brother.
This way, he's also your younger brother, "Yin Mengyao suddenly said with a smile.
"You're talking about that pervert Mo Xiaolang?" Long Chen asked.
"Yes, he's not the only one. You're also a pervert. Both of my younger brothers are perverts.
I'm actually quite content to have the two of you in this life. "
Yin Mengyao looked at the sky in front of her and smiled in satisfaction.
"Only Xiao Lang is left."
… …
This was Long Chen's first time entering the inner city of Lingwu City.
After bidding farewell to Liu Yuan, Liu Lan, Gu Batian, and the others, Long Chen followed Dongfang Xuanxiao into the inner city.
The layout of the inner city wasn't luxurious, but it was filled with a sense of antiquity.
Every brick and tile outlined the classical elegance of elegance.
There weren't many people in the Lingwu Inner Clan, but the Lingwu Inner City wasn't small either. Other than a few buildings, there were more flowers, trees, hills, and forests. All kinds of beautiful scenery could be found in the Lingwu Inner City.
Just returning from the Nine Demon Mountain, Long Chen breathed in the fresh air of the inner city and the fragrance of flowers and grass, feeling very comfortable.
Following Dongfang Xuanxiao, Long Chen and Yin Mengyao soon arrived at the Dongfang Family's mansion. The mansion wasn't luxurious, but it was very exquisite. The walls were made of the best ancient wood, exuding an elegant fragrance.
The inner city was very quiet. The huge Dongfang Mansion probably only housed a hundred or so people. After walking into the mansion for a long time, Long Chen didn't see a single person.
"Our Lingwu family advocates self-reliance, so there are no maids or guards in the clan. You have to rely on yourself for everything. If you really want to taste delicacies, you can have it delivered to you from other clans or go out yourself."
Dongfang Xuanxiao turned around and explained.
It was because of this rule that the Dongfang Mansion had such a simple and elegant environment for cultivation and self-cultivation.
"I'll bring you to your residence first. Then, I'll meet the current head of the Dongfang Family, my elder brother, Dongfang Xuanfeng.
Then, I'll bring you to the ancestral tomb. "
Under Dongfang Xuanxiao's arrangement, Long Chen and Yin Mengyao arrived at a similarly quiet courtyard. The scenery here was picturesque, and there were many flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, giving off a pleasant fragrance.
"From now on, this will be your residence.
It's up to you how you want to tidy up.
Prepare yourselves. I'll bring you to meet my elder brother in an hour, and then we'll enter the clan. "
"Yes." Yin Mengyao didn't dare to say too much in front of Dongfang Xuanxiao. She could only nod obediently.
Dongfang Xuanxiao glanced at Long Chen again before leaving.
Long Chen and Yin Mengyao looked at each other before Long Chen said with a smile, "Beauty, how do you feel about living with me in the future?"
"Don't even think about it. I'm your elder sister. Don't get any naughty ideas." A rare rebuking smile appeared on Yin Mengyao's cold face.
"You have to call me elder sister in the future. As a reward, I'll tidy up your room and this courtyard."
How could Long Chen not agree to such a wonderful thing?
"Any child with an elder sister is a treasure."
The two stayed in their respective residences for a while and roughly tidied up their luggage. An hour quickly passed and Dongfang Xuanxiao appeared right on time.
"My residence is five hundred meters east of here. It's called the Profound Sky Pavilion. If you need anything, feel free to look for me." Although Dongfang Xuanxiao didn't speak much, his arrangements were meticulous and comprehensive.
In his opinion, Yin Mengyao was a girl with a calm and tenacious personality. She was affectionate and loyal, which made him quite fond of her. As for Long Chen, he had a whole new level of respect for him because of his other shocking qualities.
Although Dongfang Xuanxiao looked indifferent on the surface, he was actually quite happy to have a pair of children at his age.
Under his lead, they soon arrived at their destination.
Yin Mengyao wasn't a talkative person, and Dongfang Xuanxiao was also very quiet. Although Long Chen was usually talkative, he didn't have much to say in front of Dongfang Xuanxiao.
Thus, they were rather quiet along the way.
When they were about to reach their destination, Dongfang Xuanxiao suddenly turned around and said solemnly, "There are conflicts in the Dongfang Family. Tianyu is my elder brother's son, so you guys have to be careful."
It wasn't like Long Chen hadn't seen the schemes of the big families, so he was well aware of it.
However, since Dongfang Xuanxiao told them about it, it seemed like he treated them as his own children.
From his tone, it could be seen that he was completely on Long Chen's side.
Raising his head to take a look, there was a plaque on top of this antique building. On it were the words "Profound Wind Pavilion" written in flamboyant calligraphy.
"Let's go in," Dongfang Xuanxiao said.
