"Grandpa…" In a simple bedroom, Long Feiyan sat on a bedside and held a hand of a skinny old man.


    His current appearance could be described as "a bag of bones." Obviously, his vitality and profound energy were about to dry up at any moment.


    The old man, Long Jinwei, raised his other hand to pat Long Feiyan''s hand and said with a gentle smile. "Silly girl. Why are you crying? Everything has its ending, and grandpa is no exception."


    Long Feiyan shook her head while biting her lower lip hard, forcing back the urge to cry.


    "When grandpa is gone, everything in this world will be nothing to me. On the contrary, you and everyone in this n have to face an unavoidable cmity. So, you don''t have to feel sorry for grandpa. It''s me who should feel sorry for all of you." Long Jinwei sighed softly.


    His eyes were full of reluctance and worry as he knew what would happen to the Long n once he passed.


    When a tall tree fell, birds scattered, and rats came for it. In the past years, he didn''t even know how many people were eyeing his n, as he had lost count a long time ago. Now, such a good opportunity was about to appear. How could they miss it?


    Long Feiyan gritted her teeth and said. "It doesn''t matter. Let theme. We will fight to the end."


    A satisfied smile appeared on Long Jinwei''s face as he said. "That''s the spirit. We, Long n, have never been afraid of anyone."


    He paused for a moment and changed the tone. "However, we won''t fight blindly either. Grandpa has already made an arrangement. After grandpa is gone, you shall strictly follow my arrangement. Understand?"


    Long Feiyan was stunned and hurriedly said. "Grandpa, this…"


    Long Jinwei''s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke questioningly. "Are you going to disobey my order?"


    His majestic aura burst forth, causing the atmosphere in the room to turn solemn.


    Long Feiyan trembled and hurriedly shook her head. "No, grandpa. I-I will follow your arrangement."


    Long Jinwei retracted his aura and said softly. "This is for your own good."


    He suddenly changed the topic. "I''m sorry that I cannot help your senior sister. s, she''s indeed pitiful."


    A trace of distress and unwillingness appeared in Long Feiyan''s eyes when she thought of Jiang Yingyue. Unfortunately, she couldn''t even take care of herself now. It was impossible to help her.


    All her hope was ced on Yun Lintian. Although she didn''t know how powerful he was right now, she believed he could create a miracle.


    "Are you thinking of your junior brother?" Long Jinwei seemed to see through her thought. Since Long Feiyan returned to the n, she often mentioned Yun Lintian.


    "I really want to see how magical he is to make my precious granddaughter think of him so often." He said with a smile.


    Long Feiyan smiled and said nothing. She knew some of Yun Lintian''s secrets. For example, his White Tiger God bloodline. But she had never told her grandfather or anyone about this.


    Knock! Knock!


    Suddenly, a knocking sound rang out, followed by a female servant''s voice. "Young Miss, there''s someone looking for you. He imed himself to be your junior brother."


    Long Feiyan was surprised and said. "Bring him to a reception hall… No, bring him here."


    "This…" The servant didn''t know whether she shouldply with Long Feiyan''s wish. After all, Long Jinwei''s courtyard was regarded as a forbidden ce. Even the patriarch, Long Feiyan''s father, could not enter and exit this ce at will.


    "Go ahead and bring him here." Long Jinwei spoke.


    "Yes, old master." The servant said and hurriedly went out.


    "Do you trust him so much?" Long Jinwei looked at his granddaughter and asked softly.


    A splendid light shed through Long Feiyan''s eyes as she answered. "If there''s anyone in this world willing to stand up for us sisters, it must be him."


    It was true that Yun Lintian and her didn''t have much interaction due to Yun Lintian''s constant moves, but she fully trusted in him. Just by the way he didn''t hesitate toe here for Jiang Yingyue, it could be seen how much he cared about her.


    She suddenly thought of something and said excitedly. "Grandpa, maybe he can help you."


    "Oh?" Long Jinwei was surprised. He then shook his head. "Grandpa knows my own condition well. It''s impossible to extend my lifespan."


    "No, grandpa. Since hees here, he must have a way." Long Feiyan hurriedly got up and walked out of the room. She wanted to bring Yun Lintian here as soon as possible.


    Looking at his granddaughter''s excited back, Long Jinwei couldn''t bear to stop her. He sighed softly and said. "Long Yi."


    Swoosh!


    A tall man with a cold face suddenly appeared beside the bed, kneeling.


    "Go check this Yun Lintian out." Long Jinwei said calmly.


    "Yes, master." The tall man, Long Yi, epted the task readily and disappeared from the ce.


    "Let''s see how magical you are." Long Jinwei muttered and closed his eyes.


    ***


    "This ce is full of dragon aura. As expected from the number one n under the nine pces." Shen Liqiu looked around the simple yet majestic manor in amazement.


    At first, Yun Lintian wanted toe alone, but how could she miss a chance to visit the renowned Long n?


    Yun Lintian nodded in agreement. Compared to other n manors he had been to, this Long n manor could be ranked at the top.


    "I''m sorry for making you wait. Please follow me." The female servant walked out with an apologetic smile and made an inviting gesture.


    "Thank you." Yun Lintian nodded gently and followed her into the hall.


    "Are you Yun Lintian, my sister''s junior brother?" As soon as Yun Lintian stepped into the hall, a male voice suddenly resounded from the path ahead.


    Yun Lintian looked over and saw a two-meter-tall man looking at him curiously. Judging from his aura, he was an expert at the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm.


    Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said. "Misty Cloud Sect''s Yun Lintian greets Senior… I am indeed Third Sister Long''s junior brother."


    The man frowned slightly and said. "I heard that you are capable of fighting across the realm. How about sparring with me?"


    Yun Lintian didn''t surprise about it. In the eyes of others, he didn''t seem to be an expert like Long Feiyan imed.


    He smiled and opened his palm. "Please."
