Chapter 268: Support from Father-in-Law
Upon hearing Long Yi's words, Long Yan was immediately stunned.
She had been complaining about how annoying Miao Feng was, thinking that he was just an ordinary person with unwarranted confidence. But now, Long Yi told her that Miao Feng was not ordinary at all.
"His bone age is probably around 150 years old, which is 30 years older than you, but he is already in the Divine Ability Realm.
I'm not sure when he gained control over Divine Ability, but I estimate it has been over fifteen years.
Therefore, in terms of cultivation speed, he is not inferior to you."
Long Yan: "......"
She was completely dumbfounded.
So, it turns out that she was the confident one?
If she could break through to the Divine Ability Realm within ten years, she could say that she was stronger than Miao Feng, but her strength would still be limited.
If she couldn't break through, then she would be even weaker than Miao Feng.
At that moment, Long Yan felt the pressure.
"I will break through as soon as possible!"
Thinking about how she had relied on Miao Yin's help to deal with Miao Feng before, Long Yan felt very uncomfortable.
No matter what aspect it was, she didn't want to be surpassed by Miao Yin.
Long Yi chuckled at this moment and reassured her, "No need to rush, let things take their course. You have the strength, but the most urgent matter now is your marriage with Zhang Chi.
As Zhang Chi said, it's better to do it sooner rather than later, to avoid unnecessary complications."
Talking about this, Long Yan felt a bit shy, but she still nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Dad, I won't lose to Miao Yin."
She thought that Long Yi was referring to Miao Yin's matter, but Long Yi shook his head, feeling speechless about his daughter's obsession with competing with Miao Yin.
"I'm talking about the Wanling Cave and other external forces."
Long Yi was very disappointed in Long Yan's thinking.
She wasn't stupid, but her intelligence had its limits.
She hadn't thought too much about many things and lacked sensitivity to conspiracies and calculations.
He didn't expect Long Yan to scheme against others, but at least she should have the ability to guard against schemes. She shouldn't be like a foolish fish, being manipulated and causing the current turmoil.
Long Yi had no choice but to teach her first. After all, Long Yan would also be the Palace Master for a few years.
He couldn't make Zhang Chi the Palace Master from the beginning. With Zhang Chi's current strength, he was not yet capable of gaining the trust of everyone.
"We never marry into the major forces of Western State. Do you know why?"
Long Yan carefully thought about it and quickly answered, "Because our Dragon family only has one lineage."
The Dragon family only had one lineage to ensure that the Dragon family's legitimacy would not be lost. They never married into external forces of the same level, to prevent the theft of the Dragon family's heritage and the loss of their rightful place.
"Since we have such a rule, why did the Wanling Cave come to propose marriage?"
Long Yan was enlightened by this point.
"He didn't come to propose marriage, but to provoke and test us?"
Long Yan's analytical and deductive abilities were not great, but Long Yi had already pointed her in the right direction, and she quickly figured out the reason.
The Wanling Cave had been their old rival, and the two families had been competing for the fourth position.
Western State had seven major forces, divided into different regions based on the terrain.
The overall shape of Western State was egg-shaped, with a small top and bottom and a large middle.
The northern part was a highland covered in ice and snow, occupied by the two bottom-ranked forces, Ice and Snow Sects. It was a barren land, but it produced Ice Spirit Jade, a kind of auxiliary material commonly used in artifact refining.
The eastern part was a vast plain, occupied by the number one force in Western State, the Eastern Emperor Palace. The port for communication between Western State and Central State was also established within the Eastern Emperor Palace's control.
In the middle of Western State were two intersecting mountains, with the Snow Mountain Temple ranking second and the White Tiger Star Palace ranking third.
Between the two mountains was an area shrouded in perpetual mist, where the sea breeze brought abundant moisture, making it damp and dark. In this environment, many rare and exotic beasts grew.
The Wailing Cave is built in such a place.
Most likely because they practice in a gloomy environment all year round, the people of the Wailing Cave are more cunning and deceitful in their actions, and they like to dress in flashy and eye-catching clothes.
The Wailing Cave and the Dragon Transformation Palace have been old rivals for many years. The Western State Alliance has four major executives, representing the power of the Western State.
The positions of the top three are difficult to shake, and the positions of the sixth and seventh are also stable. It is only the fourth and fifth positions that are constantly contested. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
The current Wailing Cave Gu Master is already old and has a short lifespan. The new successor has not yet appeared, so the position of the Western State executive will be handed over next year.
Originally, the Wailing Cave wanted to keep a low profile.
But they heard the news that Long Yi was seriously injured in a fight and has only ten years left to live.
In this way, Long Yi might surpass the Wailing Cave's Gu Master.
However, the Long family has a unique inheritance method that the Wailing Cave does not have, so they set their sights on Long Yan, attempting to take advantage of her to steal the benefits of the Long family.
They had previously sent a letter to Long Yi proposing a marriage alliance, but Long Yi refused.
And this time, when the Sea Monster crisis struck, the Wailing Cave's Gu Master intervened with the identity of an executive, attempting to force Long Yi to marry their daughter.
Of course, Long Yi would not submit. The Wailing Cave is too self-righteous, always calculating for their own benefit.
Although Long Yi already has a way to deal with it, he doesn't want Long Yan to be in the dark and unaware of everything.
He needs to make things clear to her and let her know the seriousness of the situation.
"The current Dragon Transformation Palace is indeed surrounded on all sides and in a precarious situation, but you don't need to worry. The Wailing Cave is just a bunch of nobodies, not worth worrying about."
Long Yi is very confident, and this confidence comes from his strength.
Although the ranking of the Dragon Transformation Palace and the Wailing Cave is always disputed, in reality, the Dragon Transformation Palace has always been able to maintain the fourth position.
They just keep a low profile.
Once they secure the fourth position, the third-ranked Gu Master will feel uneasy, and the fifth-ranked Gu Master can only look for the fourth-ranked one.
They might as well not secure the fourth position and just go with the flow, avoiding unnecessary disputes.
Long Yi also took the opportunity to explain the position of the Dragon Transformation Palace to Long Yan.
This is also to tell her to use her brain more and be cautious of others' calculations, but not to worry too much.
Long Yan originally wanted to find a personal bodyguard for Zhang Chi, but she ended up being taught a lesson by Long Yi.
After listening, Long Yan also realized her responsibilities and her shortcomings.
"Father, I will be more vigilant in the future, practice diligently, and break through to Divine Ability as soon as possible to put your mind at ease."
"It's good that you understand. As for finding a personal bodyguard for Zhang Chi, I think Miao Yin is good enough. There's no need to trouble others."
"What? But she likes Zhang Chi!"
Long Yan didn't expect her father to support Miao Yin as Zhang Chi's personal bodyguard. How could this be?
What if they really become close?
Long Yan can't accept it!
Long Yi, on the other hand, remained indifferent and said, "The Dragon family has a tradition of only having one heir, and that heir belongs to our Dragon family. If Zhang Chi wants to establish a family and have descendants, he can't count on you. Let him find another partner. This is also a compensation from me to him. The partners of the Dragon family have always had this freedom. You shouldn't be too caught up in emotions. When you reach my level, you will understand."
Long Yan had never known that the Dragon family had such a tradition, and Long Yi had never mentioned it to her before.
Listening to Long Yi's explanation, Long Yan felt a heavy weight in her chest, feeling very uncomfortable.
But Long Yi's words made sense, and Long Yan didn't know how to refute them. She could only bid farewell to Long Yi with a gloomy expression.
In her heart, she thought about what would happen if Zhang Chi and Miao Yin really got close after becoming partners.
Today, she only caught Miao Yin feeding soup to Zhang Chi. If they are not restrained, who knows what Miao Yin will do next time?
She can't relax, she must not relax.
Even if Zhang Chi wants to be with Miao Yin, it must be after they have children!
