Even
This was no ordinary healing pill. Dragon energy coiled around it, and for someone like
"Thanks."
Faced with a pill of this caliber, Chu Feng did not refuse.
After accepting it, he hurriedly fed it to Long Daozhi.
"Give him this as well. Consider it compensation."
As she spoke,
It was none other than the Dragon Vein Origin Stone.
"Your Highness, I absolutely cannot accept this. The Dragon Vein Origin Stone is an exceedingly precious treasure. I would not dare take it."
Upon seeing this, Long Daozhi hurriedly spoke to decline.
At the same time, the others from
It wasn't that they didn't want it — they didn't dare accept.
"Just take it. Consider it compensation for what happened to you."
"Also, the next opportunity to return to the Dragon Clan — you'd better seize it."
Having said that, Long Xiaoxiao turned around, preparing to head toward the hovering war chariot.
"Your Highness, please wait."
Seeing that Long Xiaoxiao was about to leave, he quickly called out.
"What is it, little benefactor? Do you need something else?"
Long Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.
"Your Highness, did you just mean that
Chu Feng asked.
"That's right, that is exactly what I meant. Was I not clear enough?"
Long Xiaoxiao said.
"This…"
Hearing those words, Long Daozhi and all the others from Ancestral Martial Dragon City saw their expressions change dramatically.
They had been far too nervous when speaking with Long Xiaoxiao.
Because of that, they hadn't thought too carefully about what she had said earlier.
But now, they had heard the exchange between Chu Feng and Long Xiaoxiao with perfect clarity.
Their innocence had been restored — so why… were they still not being allowed to return to the Dragon Clan?
"Your Highness, that doesn't seem right."
Chu Feng said.
"What's not right about it?"
Long Xiaoxiao asked.
"Senior Long has successfully obtained the Dragon Vein Origin Stone."
"That fulfills the rules your Dragon Clan has set. Shouldn't Ancestral Martial Dragon City be allowed to rejoin the Dragon Clan?"
Chu Feng said.
"But weren't they previously set up by that Long Tonghe?"
"Today, if we hadn't shown up, forget about returning to the Dragon Clan — they wouldn't even have kept their lives," Long Xiaoxiao said.
"But Your Highness, Long Tonghe is, after all, a member of your Dragon Clan. The mistakes he made are, in a sense, mistakes made by your Dragon Clan as well."
Chu Feng said.
"I know, and isn't that why I've offered compensation?"
"Isn't that Dragon Vein Origin Stone enough?"
"Mind you, the only reason I gave him any compensation at all was for your sake."
"If it weren't for you, forget about compensation — I wouldn't even have given him that healing pill."
Long Xiaoxiao pointed at Long Daozhi and continued.
Her words could only be described as incredibly blunt.
She gave no consideration whatsoever to the feelings of Long Daozhi or any of the others from Ancestral Martial Dragon City.
And yet, not a single one of them dared to hold the princess accountable.
That was the gap in status — it made them not dare to offend her, and in the deepest reaches of their hearts, they simply could not bring themselves to.
"Did you really think that just because Long Tonghe made a mistake, I'm obligated to give him justice?"
"Why would that be?"
"Why should I give him that justice?"
"I don't owe him anything."
"I can barely keep up with my own affairs — where would I find the time to meddle in other people's problems?"
"In the world of martial cultivators, if you want something, if you want to obtain something, you fight for it and seize it with your own strength."
"Long Daozhi doesn't have that strength — then he has no one to blame but himself."
"I've said it before: the Dragon Clan will continue to use similar methods to select talent for return to the clan."
"But whether he — Long Daozhi — and Ancestral Martial Dragon City can manage it will depend entirely on their own ability."
After hearing these words from Long Xiaoxiao, even Chu Feng was left speechless.
Because even he had to admit that Long Xiaoxiao was right.
The world of martial cultivators truly should not be about asking for favors.
If you want something, you should fight for it and seize it by your own merit.
