"I was right, you really are Lan Ge. It"s been so long since we"ve last met, do you still remember me?"Lan Ge was shaken. He stared at the young girl"s pretty, smiling face and fell silent for a moment before he asked in a voice filled with disbelief, "Long Ling"er? Aren"t you Long Ling"er?"
"Lan Ge, you still remember me."
The young girl"s smile was like a blossom. She then turned towards Gu Ruoyun and Qianbei Ye and asked, "Are these your friends?"
A stunned look flashed across the young girl"s eyes when she saw Qianbei Ye. However, that was all there was to it and she quickly placed her attention back on Lan Ge.
"This is Lady Gu and the other one is Sir Qianbei." Perhaps it was due to the sight of an old friend, Lan Ge"s face now displayed a smile as well. He then turned towards Gu Ruoyun and made the introductions, "Lady Gu, didn"t you want to see a member of the Dragon Clan? This is Long Ling"er, the granddaughter of the Dragon Clan"s High Elder. I"ve met her before."
A member of the Dragon Clan?
Gu Ruoyun"s eyes flickered as she stroked her chin and fell silent.
She never thought that she would have had such good luck to run into a member of the Dragon Clan as soon as they have arrived in the village.
Especially since she was the daughter of the Dragon Clan"s High Elder.
"Ling"er, who are you talking to?"
Just then, a less friendly voice chimed in from the side.
Long Ling"er knitted her pretty brow impatiently as her tender and pretty features filled with irritation. However, she still turned good-naturedly to the young man approaching her and replied, "This Lan Ge, the Princess" son. These two are his friends."
"What?" The young man was shocked. After a long while, he finally reacted and shot a disdainful glare towards Lan Ge, "You claim that this is the Princess" son? That unchaste Princess Long Xi who had a child with a human? Hmph, I was wondering who this was. This fellow is not recognized by the Dragon Clan at all. Ling"er, you"d better stop interacting with someone like this so you won"t come into ruin as well!"
Long Ling"er was enraged, "Long Yan, how can you say that about Lan Ge? Even though he has the blood of humans, it does not conceal his Dragon Clan blood either. He"s still the Princess" son. I really don"t know why all of you have to treat him like this!"
"Ling"er, you must have been bewitched to stand up for someone like him."
The young man who had been addressed as Long Yan scoffed coldly. He then looked at Lan Ge arrogantly, "d.a.m.ned kid, you"re nothing but a demibeast human. If someone like you were to set foot into the Dragon Clan"s land, that would only tarnish the Dragon Clan! Especially since you, kid, had dared to seduce Ling"er. Ling"er"s blood is high and n.o.ble and cannot be compared to a demibeast human like you. Go away immediately and don"t let me see you ever again. Otherwise, I will beat you once for every time that I see you!"
His face displayed an unconcealed hatred as if speaking to Lan Ge was an insult to him.
"Long Yan, Lan Ge is my friend. I won"t let you speak to him like this!"
Long Ling"er placed her hands on her hips in anger and puffed her cheeks as she glared at Long Yan furiously.
Long Yan felt immense jealousy at the sight of her protectiveness towards Lan Ge, causing him to direct his fearsome glare towards Lan Ge again.
"d.a.m.ned kid, what are you still doing here? Aren"t you going to scram yet? Don"t you believe me when I said that I"ll beat you up until you cry out for your parents?"
As he spoke, Long Yan cracked his fists and stepped forward to teach Lan Ge a lesson.
However, before his fist could land on Lan Ge"s body, he was stopped by a slim arm. When he raised his head, he saw the woman"s cool and pretty features.
However, Long Yan"s expression grew even uglier when he saw Gu Ruoyun.
