Su Bai took the blood crystal and held it tightly.

Seeing Lin Mang Yao Yun waiting for him not far away, Lin Zhao said to Su Bai, "I'm going to my parents first, and we'll talk another day."

Su Bai nodded, and when he saw her leave, he rubbed the little animal's furry tail and asked with a bit of melancholy: "When will she understand? Will she understand? Will she still need me after she understands?"

The little beast covered its ears in fear.

……

Lin Mang was relieved to see his daughter return safely. After Lin Zhao explained the whole story, Lin Mang studied his daughter's expression and made sure that she didn't see Su Bai's feelings. He sighed and said, "I have always been optimistic about Su Bai."

Yao Yun heaved a long sigh of relief, interrupted her husband's speech, patted her daughter's head, and said, "It's good that she's back safely, it's good that she's back safely. Mom and Dad will go to Su Bai's place to give her a thank-you gift."

Ever since her daughter's marriage had encountered two twists and turns, Yao Yun had decided not to let Lin Zhao get married.

The Lin family didn't have to climb up the social ladder, so wouldn't it be better to recruit a son-in-law? It would also prevent any cat or dog from humiliating her child.

As for Su Bai, his current status is too high and the possibility of him marrying into the family is too small, so Yao Yun does not support Lin Mang's idea.

Lin Zhao took out the dragon-shaped jade pendant from the space ring and said, "This time I took back the jade pendant that my brother left for me from Chen Luoluo."

When Yao Yun saw the jade pendant, her eyes suddenly turned red. Even though she was as strong as she was, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Yu'er left it for you." Speaking of his eldest son, a complex look flashed in Lin Mang's eyes.

Lin Zhao asked, "Dad, why did my brothers leave the Lin family, and where are they going now?"

After Lin Mang asked Lin Zhao to sit next to Yao Yun to comfort her, his originally sturdy body suddenly became a little thin when he mentioned his two sons. "They were taken away by the people of Zulong Continent."

Lin Zhao was startled. "Zulong Continent?"

"Do you still remember what the ancestor said about there being five creator gods? One of them is Zulong, who is equal to Zuhuang. These two gods each created five planes. The strongest of the five planes created by Zulong is Zulong Continent, which is far beyond the reach of Tianhuang Continent. Of course, Zuhuang also created Zuhuang Continent, the strongest of the five planes."

Lin Zhao asked: "Why did such a powerful plane find the Lin family of Tianhuang Continent?"

Lin Mang moved his lips, and Yao Yun cried even harder.

Lin Mang patiently wiped his wife's tears and shook his head, "Because it's our fault as parents. When your mother was pregnant with your two brothers, she was fighting against the demons. We didn't know she was pregnant at that time. When we found out, the fetus in your mother's belly had been completely infected by the demonic energy. Even if it was born, it would be a demon fetus. The righteous path would not tolerate it, and the aristocratic family would not allow it."

When Yao Yun heard the sad story, she burst into tears. Lin Zhao gently patted her mother's back to comfort her.

"Let me handle the rest. I can't ask you to take on everything."

Wiping away her tears, Yao Yun choked up.

"Your father and I were parents for the first time, and we didn't want to give up hope. After seeking help from other families to no avail, we searched for famous doctors until we found a secret place, where we met a man in black. He said he could help us purify one of our children, but... he needed us to sacrifice the essence and blood of his first child to awaken the soul of the ancestor dragon buried here."

"Your father and I knew that this was a sorcery and we rejected it outright, but we didn't expect..."

Lin Mang held his wife's hand and comforted her silently, "I didn't expect that my wife and I were no match for him. In the end, he took away the essence of our first child. Only one child was born, but both children survived."

Lin Zhao was confused: "So my elder brother hasn't been affected yet?"

Lin Mang was silent for a moment. Facing his daughter, he didn't want to hide anything anymore: "No matter what, your mother and I will treat Yu'er as our child."

Lin Zhao was struck hard, "Are the people from Zulong Continent here to look for my elder brother?"

Lin Mang nodded.

"Your eldest brother should be the incarnation of the Ancestral Dragon's soul. Your mother and I were worried that the forces of the Ancestral Dragon Continent were coming with ill intentions. If there were evil people and the Ancestral Dragon's soul fell into their hands, the cultivation world would be doomed. So we concealed which child was the Ancestral Dragon's soul. But after that, the ancestor was seriously injured by an unknown cultivator, and the Lin family's combat effectiveness in the demon battlefield was deliberately targeted. Even two Lin family gods died. The Lin family had no choice but to withdraw from the land of the aristocratic families and move to the side of the Youlan Empire."

Lin Zhao held her mother's other hand and said, "Don't cry, mom. Zhao Zhao will definitely bring my brother back."

Yao Yun looked at her little daughter and held her hand tightly. "There is one more thing I must tell you. The forces of the Zulong Continent are still eyeing the Lin family and the Tianhuang Continent."

Lin Zhao thought of her parents’ previous reactions: “Netherworld Python Spirit?”

"That's right. The Nether Python, a spiritual beast with dragon bloodline, is almost extinct in my Tianhuang Continent. Yu'er and Yi'er leaked their aura during the battle because of the residual soul of the Nether Python, and were detected by the forces of the Zulong Continent. Moreover, Dad is worried that their target is not only the Zulong soul, but also you."

Lin Zhao was stunned. He didn't expect that there was something about him here. "I have nothing to do with Zulong. How can they target me?"

"I hope it's just Dad's illusion." Lin Mang said, "But Dad asked about the source of Lin Yuan's Nether Python's residual soul, and they also said that they bought it from the man in black. This shows that they are still coveting the Lin family's things, but what can the Lin family have now that they covet?"

Lin Zhao's brows slowly furrowed.

"Speaking of which, we as parents are really failures." Lin Mang patted his wife's shoulder: "We failed to keep your brother, and you also suffered a lot."

Lin Zhao's brows relaxed and he said, "Dad, why bother telling me all this nonsense? I believe we can slowly get back what the Lin family has lost."

If it was the Lin Zhao of the past, she would not dare to say this. But now with the help of her grandmother, she regained three points of Phoenix Luck and entered Nanhai College.

Despite all the circumstances, Lin Zhao did not think that their Lin family had reached rock bottom.

Lin Mang looked at his daughter, whose beautiful eyes were full of tenacity, and nodded.

"Your future is much brighter than that of your father and mother. The corresponding burden on you is getting heavier. Your father can only say that the Lin family doesn't need you to worry about it now. We no longer have anything for them to covet. But as a Phoenix Girl of Destiny... To be honest, your father would rather you have mediocre talent and not be a Phoenix Girl of Destiny. It is enough for you to stay with me and your mother safely and be a carefree little princess."

"You are tongue-tied." Yao Yun wiped away her tears, looked at her husband with disdain, and said, "We want to say that as long as you are safe, we will believe you no matter what you do. We know what our daughter is like."
