The guard looked at them expressionlessly and said coldly, "Someone is here to take you out of here. Are you going?" After that, he opened the cell door and stood there quietly, waiting for them to walk out of the cell.

The men in the cell looked at each other with confusion and alarm on their faces. One of them hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Excuse me, who is taking us away?" With a smile, he pulled out a heavy bag of gold coins and handed it to the guard.

The guard took the gold coin, weighed it gently, and a satisfied smile curled his lips. He replied, "This is Master Si, the guard who serves as the Crown Prince's attendant. Are you leaving now?" His tone was slightly impatient.

Hearing this answer, the man nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude. Then, he walked to Qin Jingyi and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, it was someone from His Highness the Crown Prince Long who took us away. Do you want to leave?"

Qin Jingyi nodded in agreement. He then stood up and slowly walked towards the cell door. Seeing this, the others followed him out of the cell.

The group followed the guard outside. The guard walked up to Long Si and said, "Master Si, the person is here."

Long Si walked over to those people and looked at them, then said, "Excuse me, which one is the Fifth Prince?"

Qin Jingyi walked out and said in a light tone, "It is me." He no longer had the arrogance he had when he first arrived at the Orc Royal City.

Long Si nodded, thinking that it would be good if the Fifth Prince was here. So she said, "Let's go."

Long Si took them to the carriage at the entrance of the beast prison and drove the carriage to a magnificent mansion. This was the residence of the human race in the orc royal city. The Third Prince and others who were participating in the academy martial arts competition were staying here.

Long Si walked to the door and said to the guard, "I am Long Si, the guard beside Crown Prince Long. Please inform your Highness the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince that they have arrived."

The guard was a little surprised and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go report to the Third Prince." After that, he went inside to report to the Third Prince.

After a while, Qin Jinghuai and Lu Sixi arrived at the gate.

Long Si spoke first, "Third Prince, our Crown Prince has already found out that Fifth Prince was imprisoned in the beast pen because he caused trouble in the Imperial City. His Highness instructed me to send Fifth Prince and his men here."

While Long Si was speaking, she had already asked the Fifth Prince and others in the carriage to get off.

Qin Jinghuai and Lu Siqi had already seen the Fifth Prince and his companions. Qin Jinghuai said, "Guard Long, thank you for your help."

"Third Prince, the person has been delivered. I will go back and report first." After Long Si finished speaking, she mounted her horse and left.

After Long Si and her men left, Qin Jingyi and the others began to speak.

"Third brother..."

"Third Highness..."

Qin Jinghuai looked at them with a frown, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Qin Jingyi wanted to explain something, but he was interrupted by Qin Jinghuai as soon as he opened his mouth: "Let's talk inside." After he finished speaking, Qin Jinghuai turned around and walked in.

Qin Jingyi followed him in with a timid look on his face, and the others quickly followed suit.

Qin Jinghuai sat on the chair, looked up at them, frowned, and showed an unhappy expression on his face.

Each of them was wearing tattered clothes, was dirty, exuded a bad smell, and looked very shabby.

Qin Jinghuai frowned slightly, waved his hand with a look of disgust, and ordered the maid beside him: "Take them down to wash up."

Several maids immediately came forward and asked Qin Jingyi and others to wash up. Qin Jingyi looked at the others, looked at his body, and immediately followed the maids to wash up.

Qin Jingyi and the others went to wash up. Qin Jinghuai said, "Siqi, Qin Jingyi's matter has been resolved, but Qin Yaling has not been found yet. Tell me, who took her away? Do Prince Long and the others know?"

Lu Siqi thought for a moment and said, "Third Prince, from your description of your meeting with Crown Prince Long this morning and your request for his reaction to finding the Third Princess, I have a feeling that Crown Prince Long and his men don't know who took the Third Princess away."

Qin Jinghuai sighed, "I hope nothing happens to her (the third princess)."

After Long Si sent the person away, she returned to the Dragon Emperor Palace to report.

Long Si walked into the palace where Long Yan was, saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, I have sent the fifth prince of the human race and others to their third prince." Long Yan nodded to show his satisfaction and asked him to stand aside.

Long Yan sat in the palace, his expression calm as he pondered something. He knew that relations between humans and orcs had always been tense, and the orcs were not at fault in this incident. The humans would apparently owe them a favor for sending the people back. It was just that Long Shen had gone to investigate Qin Yaling's case, so why hadn't he returned yet?

Thinking of this, Long Yan looked solemn and rubbed his temples with his hands.

At this moment, Long Shen came back looking a little disheveled.

Long Yan frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Long Shen said, "Your Highness, we followed the clues and found the mysterious people who took away the three princesses of the human race. They are in a small village near the imperial city. We just briefly investigated the situation in the village. If we hadn't encountered Master Ziyu's spirit beast, we might have been wiped out. Those people have a medicine that can quickly drain our spiritual energy. Your Highness, these people are very similar to the group that attacked us more than a year ago, but their medicine is more powerful."

After hearing this, Long Yan thought of the attack he had suffered a year ago. His expression was heavy and he said, "The specific circumstances."

Long Shen replied, "Your Highness, I followed the clues and tracked them to a small village outside the city. It was so quiet there that it felt a bit strange, so I decided to explore it first. When we entered the village, we smelled a faint sweet scent. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, until I accidentally encountered someone there. During the battle, I realized that my spiritual energy was draining too quickly. Just when we were powerless to resist, Master Ziyu's pet spewed out a spiritual fire, burning those people to death. It entered the village with us to check the situation."

Long Shen paused for a moment and continued, "Everyone inside was burned to death by Master Ziyu's pet. We found the third princess of the human race imprisoned inside, but her condition is not optimistic. I have asked the doctor to examine her. Your Highness, what should we do?"

Long Yan thought for a moment and said, "Long Si, take her to the Third Prince of the Human Tribe. If they ask where you found her, take them to the small village that Long Shen mentioned."

Long Si replied, "Yes, Your Highness," and went down to do her work.

Long Shen thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, Master Ziyu's pet seemed to have said something: Weren't these things killed off a thousand years ago? I don't know if I'm just hallucinating."

"Okay, I understand." Long Yan said, then took out a bottle of pills and said, "Take this bottle of pills and give one to everyone who goes today. You can keep the extra ones, and if you don't have enough, come to me and get more. You can go down."

"Yes, Your Highness." Long Shen stepped forward and took the pill and replied.

After the dragon ginseng went down, Long Yan thought for a while, then got up and went to the palace where the Dragon Emperor rested.

Seeing the Dragon King chatting with my mother and father, I walked up and said, "Father, how are you, mother and father?"

The Dragon Emperor looked up at Long Yan and said, "Boy, what are you doing here?" The Dragon Emperor was obviously dissatisfied that Long Yan had disturbed the time he and the Dragon Queen were alone.

The Dragon Queen glared at the Dragon Emperor and said, "Yan'er, what brings you here?"

Long Yan glanced at the Dragon Emperor helplessly. He came here for something, who wants to disturb you two? Then he said in a heavy tone: "Today, Long Shen was in a small village outside the imperial city and encountered the people who attacked us a year ago." Then Long Yan said that Long Shen came to the small village outside the imperial city because he was looking for the missing human princess and found those people.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Emperor's expression grew grave. A year ago, he had visited the site of Longyan's accident and had discovered that the poison was extremely harmful to the dragon race. He himself had recently nearly lost his life due to a loss of control of his psychic energy caused by the poison.

The Dragon Emperor shouted with a heavy expression, "Long An, go and tell Prime Minister Bai."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Long An replied, and then went to inform Prime Minister Bai.

After Long An left, Long Yan continued, "Father, I want to go to the Dragon Clan's ancestral temple to check what happened a thousand years ago."

"Why?" asked the Dragon Emperor.

"Father, I can't tell you why for the time being. I just accidentally learned that those people appeared a thousand years ago." Long Yan replied.

The Dragon Emperor thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead." He then went to give the Dragon Clan Chief's Order to Long Yan.

Long Yan said, "Thank you, Father."
