Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304: Return to Ascending Dragon City
“No,” Bai Xiuxiu firmly grasped his arm, “if we’re going, we must go together. At least when we’re together, we can look out for each other.”
Lan Xuanyu said solemnly: “No, the reason I want to go alone is that it will be safer for me. My father has given me some life-saving items. If there really is danger, I should be able to save myself without any problems. But I don’t know if I would be able to save you then! So, you go back, I’ll be fine on my own. Nothing will happen.”
“Cut it out. I’ve known you so long, do you think I don’t know what kind of person you are? You can’t fool me. I’m going with you no matter what.”
Seeing her stubbornness, Lan Xuanyu knew that whatever he said was futile. She would definitely think that he was trying to deceive her into going back and not accompanying him.
“Alright, let’s go together then. But whatever we encounter, don’t act rashly. I have my own plans. My father really did give me life-saving items. However, if we’re facing the Sky Dragon Leader, I am not confident about escaping unscathed. So, we should try our best not to antagonize them. Trust my previous judgment, they won’t really do anything to us.”
“Mhm, as long as I’m with you, I’m not afraid. What I fear most is encountering danger when I’m not by your side. I hate that feeling of helplessness,” Bai Xiuxiu said resolutely.
“Good. Let’s go.”
The two of them flew at high speed and soon saw the towering Ascending Dragon Platform piercing into the clouds.
Before they even entered the range of Ascending Dragon City, the patrolling personnel came forward to greet them. They flew in the form of their Dragon Clan selves, and those who came to greet them were also from the Dragon Clan, and both were from the Mid-rank Dragon Clan.
“Lords, please, no flying is currently allowed over Ascending Dragon City. Oh, the Golden Dragon Princess?” After the two Mid-rank Dragon Clan members stopped them, they began by stating the regulations, but soon they noticed Lan Xuanyu’s dazzling golden scales and their dragon eyes shone brightly.
After the Ascending Dragon competition, the current Lan Xuanyu is almost an idol to the entire younger generation of the Dragon Clan! Winning the competition single-handedly, and although facing formidable enemies along the way, he defeated them with unyielding willpower and great strength. Not to mention the Mid-rank Dragon Clan, even the Higher-rank Dragon Clan members greatly admired him. Moreover, after winning the competition, it’s very possible for her to become a Female Dragon Knight in the future!
“Yes. Why is flying not allowed?” Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu transformed into their human forms, asking with a cool expression.
The two Mid-rank Dragon Clan, floating in mid-air, answered respectfully: “This is an order from the Sky Dragon Assembly. Recently, no race is allowed to fly within the vicinity of Ascending Dragon City, which includes our Dragon Clan. That’s why you were intercepted before entering.”
“Understood, we’ll walk into the city then. Find us a car to take us to the Ascending Dragon Platform. The Leader has summoned us,” Lan Xuanyu said succinctly.
Hearing that it was a summons from the Sky Dragon Leader, the two Mid-rank Dragon Clan members showed even more respect. As they had just landed, Lan Xuanyu’s communication device on his wrist started ringing.
It was a strange number. Lan Xuanyu answered casually, and immediately an excited voice came from the other side, “Golden Dragon Princess, hello, this is Du Xinyu from Ascending Dragon City, part of the Sky Dragon Assembly. Have you already arrived within the range of Ascending Dragon City?”
“Yes, we just landed, you can locate us through my communicator,” Lan Xuanyu replied.
“Alright, please wait for a moment, I will come to pick you up very soon,” Du Xinyu said in a hurry.
“Okay. Then I’ll wait right here.”
After hanging up the communication, Lan Xuanyu said to the two Mid-rank Dragon Clan members: “Someone from the Sky Dragon Assembly will come to receive me. You can go first.”
One of the Mid-rank Dragon Clan members hurriedly said: “No rush, no rush, let’s wait with you.”
Up close, seeing the Golden Dragon Princess quickened the heartbeat of the two Mid-rank Dragon Clan members, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu could even hear their hearts beating clearly.
Bai Xiuxiu glanced at Lan Xuanyu, barely concealing her amusement as she sent a telepathic message: “You’re now quite the heartthrob among the young dragons!”
Lan Xuanyu pinched her hand lightly and looked up towards the direction of the Ascending Dragon Platform.
The Ascending Dragon Platform loomed aloft, its massive top still umbrella-like, towering high into the sky. For some reason, when he gazed intently at the Ascending Dragon Platform, he vaguely felt that there were some mysterious changes to it.
What precisely these changes were, Lan Xuanyu wasn’t sure, but he could faintly sense them. It seemed like the Ascending Dragon Platform itself had become more massive. Not in size, but in the sense of oppression it exerted, stronger than when he had visited before.
It was a pity that his Spiritual Power had not yet reached the level of divine consciousness; otherwise, he might have been able to discern more clearly what had happened to the Ascending Dragon Platform.
Before long, a luxurious Dragon Carriage swiftly arrived from the direction of Ascending Dragon City and quickly came to a stop before the four individuals. This carriage was drawn by four Lower-rank Dragon Clan members. The carriage itself was enormous and engraved with countless magnificent patterns.
Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu didn’t recognize it, but the two Mid-rank dragons from Ascending Dragon City appeared to, as they immediately bowed respectfully to the Dragon Carriage.
The carriage halted and a young man jumped out from inside. He literally jumped, and in the next moment, he stood before Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu.
This was a youth who appeared to be in his late twenties, tall and slim with bright and spirited eyes. Although his features weren’t particularly handsome, his presence was extremely strong. Nonetheless, Lan Xuanyu didn’t remember seeing him at the previous Ascending Dragon competition.
“Hello, Golden Dragon Princess, I am Du Xinyu,” the youth greeted Lan Xuanyu with a smile and introduced himself.
Lan Xuanyu nodded in greeting, “Hello. The Leader had asked me to come see him, after healing my injuries, Xiuxiu and I made our way here.”
Without even glancing at the other two Mid-rank Dragon Clan members, Du Xinyu gestured invitingly to Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, saying, “Let’s talk in the carriage.”
Under his guidance, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu boarded the Dragon Carriage.
Inside the carriage, the decor was exquisite. The floor was covered in a thick white shag carpet, which felt exceptionally comfortable and soft yet springy underfoot. The carriage was warm, but the air inside remained crisp and fresh. The decorations on the walls and ceiling were mainly white with golden patterns.
“This is my teacher’s Dragon Carriage. My teacher is the Holy Light Dragon Knight. Since I was on duty at the Sky Dragon Assembly today and heard you were coming, I requested my teacher’s carriage to pick you up. We’ll go straight to the Ascending Dragon Platform.”
“Isn’t flight restricted within Ascending Dragon City?” Lan Xuanyu wondered, feeling the carriage accelerate and leave the ground, carried higher into the sky by the four Lower-rank Dragon Clan members.
With a beaming smile, Du Xinyu replied: “The flight restriction is for those ordinary species. Naturally, there is no such restriction for us honored members of the Sky Dragon Assembly. The primary reason for the flight ban is to avoid disturbing the esteemed Lord Dragon Knights on the Ascending Dragon Platform.”
‘Esteemed ones’? So there were multiple Dragon Knights on the Ascending Dragon Platform. Lan Xuanyu felt a bit more at ease with this knowledge. If it had been only the Sky Dragon Leader present, there could have been a chance he would act against them. After all, nobody would dare hold the Leader accountable. But if there are multiple Dragon Knights present, at the very least the Leader wouldn’t act unjustly. Lan Xuanyu also didn’t think their identities would be revealed.
“Brother Du, do you know why the Leader has summoned me this time?” Lan Xuanyu asked with a slight smile on his face, his voice softer.
Du Xinyu had been observing her all along. In terms of appearance, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu were each striking in their own way. But for the Dragon Clan, it’s mighty strength that serves as the ultimate backing. The potency of one’s bloodline is what truly signifies power.
