Chapter 528 Can it catch it?
As if oblivious to the emotions of others, the leader stepped forward, as if he and Xuan Cang were old friends who had known each other for many years, and said with a smile: "Originally, I thought it was making a fuss over Lin Xiaoyou asking me to come. Why did I have to come over for such a small matter? I didn't expect that things would turn out so badly here."

Upon hearing the name Lin Xiaoyou, Xuan Cang immediately understood something. Among all the people he knew, only Lin Zhao was surnamed Lin and capable of mobilizing the leader.

"Oh, I hope my disciple didn't cause any trouble while following you? That girl went to the Ancestral Phoenix Plane with you back then and never contacted me again. I didn't even know you were back after such a big thing happened."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Cang paused. No one knew the origin of the pistil better than him. If Lin Zhao had a relationship with the leader and could invite the leader to back him up, then the leader actually said that the pistil was related to him...

How close must Lin Zhao and the leader be for the leader to go to such lengths?

However, since the leader of the group was backing him up, Xuan Cang was naturally not foolish enough to turn him away.

"Xiao Rui also felt that leaving without saying goodbye back then was enough to anger you, and contacting you again now would probably upset you and harm your health."

Xuan Cang was quite quick-witted; after just a few words, it was as if the pistil and she really had some intimate relationship.

However, at this point, it doesn't necessarily mean there's a real relationship; it's enough if both parties acknowledge that there is one.

The Black Lord had clearly considered this as well, and his gaze toward Xuan Cang revealed a thoughtful and hesitant expression.

The Dragon Lord noticed the Black Lord's change and realized that it was because the Lord of the Clan's appearance and words had stirred his thoughts.

After all, compared to Jiao Rong, who treated their Black Dragon Clan's fine men like lapdogs, Ci Rui had a child and had feelings for Xuan Cang, so she was obviously better off.

Previously, for the Black Lord, the only thing the female was lacking was her status. Now that the Lord has appeared, he has made up for this deficiency in status. Naturally, the Black Lord is biased towards the woman his son prefers.

Jiao Rong wasn't stupid either; she had also thought of this. She immediately frowned and said, "That Rui is just an earth dragon. How could she possibly have any relationship with you, Master? Could it be that you've taken some bribes from someone and are deliberately trying to sabotage Father and Uncle Mang's relationship?"

Her statement is very interesting. Instead of acting in her own self-interest, she shifted the focus of the leader's appearance and motives to the positions of the five leaders.

After all, everyone knows that the Dragon Lord and the Black Lord have always had a good relationship, the Heavenly Lord and the Emperor Lord have a good relationship, while the Lord of the Clan has always been unrelated to the two and is carefree and casual.

It's quite unexpected that the leader would suddenly appear and say such things.

However, Jiao Rong's rare display of intelligence caused her father's face to darken. The Black Master also gave her a half-smile, a glance that seemed to say, "Thank goodness this idiot isn't my future daughter-in-law."

Accustomed to the Black Lord's kind and gentle gaze, Jiao Rong felt a sense of foreboding when the Black Lord looked at him with such a somewhat mocking gaze for the first time. Sure enough, the next moment, the Black Lord laughed.

"Lord Jiao, you've been so clever all your life, how could you have given birth to such a fool? What rare treasures haven't I, the Lord, seen in my life? Why would I need to take bribes to do favors for others?"

The Dragon Lord was extremely displeased that his most beloved daughter had been called a fool to his face. However, the person who had spoken out against the Dragon Lord was the Chief. Although this woman was carefree and easygoing, and her strength was only at the True Immortal level, among the Five Lords of the Ancestral Dragon, the Chief was the oldest and had remained at the True Immortal level the longest. No one knew whether the Chief, who seemed to be at the True Immortal level, was unable to advance further or simply did not want to.

After all, this woman...

The Dragon Lord reprimanded Jiao Rong for the first time: "Rong'er, how dare you! Apologize to the Lord of the Dragons!"

It's also his and the Black Lord's fault for spoiling her so much over the years. Otherwise, a Nascent Soul cultivator would be lucky to not kneel and pay respects to the Five Lords of the Ancestral Dragon, let alone have the audacity to speculate on their words and actions.

Jiao Rong bit her lip, glanced at Xuan Cang who hadn't even glanced at her once, clenched her fists, and reluctantly bowed to the Chief to apologize. If it were any other elder, they might have just given it a perfunctory apology, but the Chief was different. Her pettiness was well-known throughout the Ancestral Dragon Plane. She insisted on sitting opposite the Jiao Lord, and after watching Jiao Rong finish bowing and apologizing, she even commented with an air of seriousness: "With this kind of upbringing, Jiao Lord, you should really teach your daughter a lesson when you get back. If your most favored descendants are all like this... I'm afraid the Jiao Clan will have a hard time securing a place among the next five Ancestral Dragon Masters."

These words truly left the Dragon Lord speechless and broke his defenses.

Is he doting on Jiao Rong because he has no other children?

Of course not. It's because among these offspring, the best of the best was chosen from among the short ones. Apart from being a bit arrogant and domineering, Jiao Rong was already the best.

But he was also well aware of his daughter's problems, which is why he wanted to find her a stronger partner!

Otherwise, why would he interfere so much in Xuan Cang's affairs after he clearly saw that Xuan Cang already had a woman and a son?

Do you really think he enjoys picking out other women's used items for his daughter?

However, the Jiao Lord refused to back down, saying coldly, "We Jiao Clan's affairs are none of your concern, Chief. You should think carefully about the Immortal Sect Competition. If your successor is only at the level of that Miss Rui, I'm afraid she won't be able to win."

The leader smiled, his eyes crinkling: "I raised Xiao Rui as a princess. All she needs to do is have a noble status. As for other matters, I will naturally leave them to my disciples."

Now the Black Master was intrigued: "I wonder when the Master took on a closed-door disciple?"

The leader laughed and said, "It's only been in the last two years. Wen Gui, have you been waiting outside for a long time? Hei wants to see you."

Kuro paused for a moment, then looked towards the door, and the others looked over curiously as well.

After all, just how outstanding must a young disciple be to be chosen by a discerning True Immortal like the leader, who is also the heir?
The young man who appeared at the door was dressed in purple with silver hair. He had a pair of bright purple eyes and a slender figure, which made his delicate features look somewhat broken. Even though he was a man, he gave off a feeling that made everyone present want to take good care of him.

"Disciple Ning Wengui greets Lord Jiao and Lord Hei."

The dragon lord's lips twitched, but even if he wanted to find fault, he couldn't say anything after sensing Ning Wengui's physique.

The Black Lord noticed Ning Wengui's extraordinary nature with just a glance. "Such a young Nascent Soul cultivator, and a fully grown Purple-Eyed Glazed Body?"

The leader looked at his disciple with satisfaction: "My two brothers, is my last disciple capable of carrying on my mantle?"

The Dragon Lord snorted coldly, offering no comment. The Black Lord laughed, "If even the Purple-Eyed Glazed Body can't handle it, then no one in this world can."

The dragon lord, seemingly lost in thought, said in a sarcastic tone, "With the Purple Eye Glazed Body fully developed, one is destined to become a saint. With such talent, I doubt one will remain in the lower realm to develop, right?"

The leader was infuriating: "As long as someone can inherit my mantle and take my place, it will annoy some of the jealous people to death."

The Dragon Lord slammed his hand on the armrest, "You!"

The leader smiled and asked in return, "What about me?"
