Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

Dragon Clan

"What are you thinking about?" A clear voice broke Bai Ze's thoughts. Feng Qingxue walked to his side, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Bai Ze withdrew his gaze, looked at Feng Qingxue, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "It's nothing, I was just thinking that all of this is finally over."

Feng Qingxue sighed softly, her gaze sweeping over the devastated battlefield: "Yes, it's over."

“Let’s go,” Bai Ze said. “We still have things to do.”

The remnants of the Black Dragon Clan have not yet been completely eradicated, and Dragon Emperor Xuan Ye is imprisoned in a secret chamber, his fate unknown. These are the problems they will have to face next.

The two walked side by side, passing through broken walls and ruins, heading deeper into the Black Dragon Clan's territory. Along the way, remnants of the Black Dragon Clan soldiers would occasionally rush out, but Bai Ze and Feng Qingxue would easily deal with them all.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance to the Black Dragon Clan's secret chamber, where two Black Dragon Clan guards stood watch.

"Halt! Who goes there?" the guard shouted sternly.

Bai Ze and Feng Qingxue ignored them. Bai Ze swung his sword, and the sword energy instantly killed the two guards.

Pushing open the door to the secret chamber, a musty smell wafted out. The chamber was dimly lit, with only an oil lamp casting a faint glow. Under the lamplight, they saw the Dragon Emperor Xuan Ye, imprisoned in a corner.

At this moment, Xuan Ye had lost his former majesty. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and his body was covered with wounds, making him look like a destitute beggar.

"Father!" Bai Ze couldn't help but call out.

Upon hearing this address, Xuan Ye abruptly raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy eyes. He looked at Bai Ze, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a word.

When Feng Qingxue heard Bai Ze's address, she stared wide-eyed in disbelief, as if she had heard something incredible. She had always known that Bai Ze was mysterious and that there must be some secrets hidden behind him, but she had never thought that he would be the son of the Dragon Emperor. After the initial surprise, she quickly regained her composure. She knew that Bai Ze was no ordinary person.

Bai Ze strode up to Xuan Ye and knelt down: "Father, your son is unfilial and has arrived late."

Xuan Ye looked at Bai Ze in front of him, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Years ago, he had banished Bai Ze from the country because he listened to slander. Now, seeing him again, he saw him in this state. He reached out his trembling hand and stroked Bai Ze's face, his eyes filled with guilt and remorse.

"Haoyue, my son..." Xuan Ye's voice was hoarse and weak.

As Feng Qingxue watched this scene, her shock gradually gave way to calm. She recalled Bai Ze's mystery and power, and the occasional moments of loneliness and sorrow he revealed; everything seemed to make sense now. He carried a tremendous secret, enduring unspeakable pain. A strange pang of sorrow welled up in Feng Qingxue's heart; she finally understood the immense burden Bai Ze carried.

Bai Ze raised his head and looked at Xuan Ye, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He had once resented Xuan Ye for listening to slander and banishing him from the country, but now, seeing Xuan Ye like this, he felt more heartache than anything else.

“Father, it’s all over now,” Bai Ze said. “Now, let’s leave this place.”

Bai Ze helped Xuan Ye up, and together with Feng Qingxue, they left the secret chamber.

Stepping out of the secret room, the sunlight shone on him, warm and comfortable. Bai Ze took a deep breath, feeling the suppressed emotions in his heart dissipate somewhat.

"What should we do next?" Feng Qingxue asked.

Bai Ze looked into the distance, his eyes resolute: "Let's go back to the Golden Dragon Clan first."

Feng Qingxue's heart trembled slightly. The Golden Dragon Clan was Bai Ze's former home, and also the place where he was exiled. Now, he was returning with his wounded body and a seriously injured Dragon Emperor. What awaited him?

The Golden Dragon Clan's territory lies above a sea of ​​clouds, with magnificent golden palaces floating in the air, resembling a fairyland. When Bai Ze and his group arrived, the guarding dragon warriors immediately recognized them, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"Your Highness Haoyue? You...you're back?" a young dragon warrior stammered, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Haoyue was Bai Ze's real name, but now it carries a bitter and ironic connotation.

Bai Ze ignored the guards' surprise and walked straight towards the Golden Dragon Hall, with Feng Qingxue following closely behind. She could feel the gazes of the dragon warriors around her, some curious, some doubtful, and some hostile.

Inside the Golden Dragon Palace, the elders of the Golden Dragon Clan were discussing clan affairs. When Bai Ze appeared with Xuan Ye and Feng Qingxue, the entire hall fell silent instantly.

"Haoyue! How dare you come back!" an old man with white hair and beard roared. He was the Great Elder of the Golden Dragon Clan and one of the people who advocated for the expulsion of Bai Ze from the country.

Bai Ze coldly surveyed the elders in the hall, his eyes showing no fear. "I have brought Father Emperor back." His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

The Grand Elder's expression changed, and he noticed the weakened Xuan Ye behind Bai Ze. He quickly stepped forward to check Xuan Ye's injuries. When he found that Xuan Ye's breath was weak and his life was in danger, his face turned pale.

"What...what's going on?" the Grand Elder asked, trembling.

"My father has been murdered by treacherous people and is now on the verge of death." Bai Ze's voice was icy, and the atmosphere in the hall froze instantly. The elders looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Who? Who harmed His Majesty?" the Second Elder asked in a trembling voice.

Bai Ze's gaze fell on a burly elder, his tone icy: "Third Elder, do you have anything else to say?"

The Third Elder's expression changed drastically, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes. "Haoyue, you...you're spouting nonsense!"

Bai Ze sneered, and a ball of golden flame suddenly appeared in his hand. The flame flickered and emitted a terrifying pressure. "Whether I'm making false accusations or not, you know in your heart."

The Third Elder's face turned deathly pale, and his body trembled. He knew he had been exposed. He took a deep breath, suddenly sprang up, and pounced on Bai Ze.

"Haoyue, don't even think about slandering me!"

Bai Ze was prepared and dodged the Third Elder's attack by sidestepping. The golden flame in his hand transformed into a fire dragon and swept towards the Third Elder.

"what!"

The Third Elder let out a scream and was instantly swallowed by the fire dragon. The elders in the hall watched this scene in horror, unable to believe that Bai Ze would dare to kill the Third Elder in front of them.

Bai Ze withdrew the flames, his gaze sweeping coldly over the crowd. "Anyone else want to try?"

Everyone fell silent, too afraid to utter another sound.

At this moment, Xuan Ye slowly opened his eyes and weakly asked, "Haoyue, are we...are we back?"

Bai Ze quickly stepped forward and helped Xuan Ye up. "Father, we're back." His voice was much softer, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

Xuan Ye looked at Bai Ze, his eyes filled with relief, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..." After he finished speaking, he fainted again.

Bai Ze handed Xuan Ye over to Feng Qingxue for care, then turned to the elders in the main hall, “From today onwards, I will handle the affairs of the Dragon Clan on behalf of the Dragon Emperor. Do you have any objections?” His tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

The hall was silent. The elders looked at each other, their eyes flickering with uncertainty. Bai Ze's return was too sudden and too powerful. The genius who had been slandered and expelled had returned with the seriously injured Dragon Emperor. The implications of this were self-evident.

Finally, the Grand Elder broke the silence first. He sighed and slowly said, "Your Highness Haoyue, we have no objections."

The other elders echoed his sentiments. Bai Ze's return not only brought back the Dragon Emperor but also deterred those restless traitors. The atmosphere in the hall shifted from solemnity to submission.

Bai Ze nodded slightly, just as he was about to announce the next plan, when a commotion suddenly arose outside the hall. A guard rushed in, knelt on one knee, and loudly reported, "An envoy from the Phoenix Clan requests an audience!"
