490: C490 Phoenix Jade

C490 Phoenix Jade

The elder looked at Zhang Fan with an excited expression as he said, "Haha, good grandson, I've finally met you."

Zhang Fan's expression also flickered, and he called out to his grandfather once more.

The old man replied, "I really didn't expect to give grandfather such a big surprise the first time I see you. As a grandfather, I also don't qualify …"

"Grandpa, don't say that." A strange look appeared in Zhang Fan's eyes as he shook his head.

At this moment, a hint of a smile appeared on Eastern Palace's Qiu Ye's face. He directly asked, "What's your current strength?"

"Honorable Level!" Zhang Fan said respectfully after hearing that.

After a long while, his expression was filled with praise. He nodded heavily and said, "Very good, very good. Having reached the venerated strength at such a young age, this is extremely rare in the Central Region. Looks like your achievements in the future will definitely not be ordinary."

Hearing the elder's praise, Zhang Fan felt a bit embarrassed. "I will definitely work hard."

"En!" Eastern Palace Autumn Night nodded, then said, "As your grandfather, I don't have any good gifts when I first meet you. I'll give this jade pendant to you as well."

After the jade pendant appeared, East Palace's Autumn Night's face also had a hint of melancholy. Previously, because of the jade pendant, so many things had happened to his daughter, and now that he gave the jade pendant to Zhang Fan, it could be considered a small compensation. Moreover, this compensation had another meaning; after all, because of the jade pendant, so many disputes had arisen, now giving the jade pendant to Zhang Fan was the final end.

However, only Eastern Palace's Autumn Night understood his intentions.

[I saw it! In fact, I've been in seclusion for such a long time. What else can't I see through you?]

Zhang Fan was startled when he saw the jade pendant. His eyes also showed a somewhat strange expression. Donggong Ying looked at Zhang Fan and said, "Son, since grandpa gave you this jade pendant, you can receive it."

Zhang Fan hesitated for a moment, but eventually respectfully said, "Thank you, Grandfather." With that, he received the jade ornament.

There was a bit of warmth in the jade. He looked at it and found that there was a very fine pattern carved on it. It looked like it was one with the shape of a phoenix.

He hadn't expected that the Eastern Palace Clan's jade pendant would fall into his hands so easily.

"Hehe, take this jade pendant. Just like Long Yu, don't let it shine in front of outsiders easily. Otherwise, if it is discovered by someone, it will bring about a fatal disaster." Eastern Palace Autumn Night looked at Zhang Fan and instructed.

"Got it, Grandpa," Zhang Fan nodded his head.

His eyes were a little hazy, but after a short while, his expression once again revealed a smile, and in the end, he even started laughing out loud. His laughter also contained an indescribable sense of joy, but after a while, he opened his mouth and said: "It's been a while, I've finally come out. It looks like I'll have to keep you company for a few days …" His gaze landed on Donggong Ying as he said this.

Donggong Taiqing nodded slightly, and his eyes reddened once again.

"Okay, let's go!" Donggong Taiqing, Qiu Ye and the other two said with a smile as they left.

As they were walking outside, Autumn Night suddenly thought of something and said, "Tianhao, where did that brat run off to? I didn't see him wake up."

"Patriarch, Patriarch Feng, Patriarch Feng, and Supreme Elder went to the Dragon Valley." The third elder gave a general idea of what had happened.

"No wonder! It's rumored that long ago, the Profound Dragon Clan stole the Dragon Valley's most valuable Dragon Pearl, but in fact, the small skirmishes between them from that time had already continued. I never thought that right now, the deadlock has lasted for such a long time, perhaps it's because the old Patriarch of the Profound Dragon Clan, Yu Hua, has already made a huge difference within the clan."

The simple sentence of Eastern Palace's Autumn Night had allowed him to deduce a lot of things. That senior had previously told him that he was a sinner; could it be that the dragon pearl had been stolen by him? But this time, he had returned, so why hadn't that senior handed the dragon pearl to him?

The senior said that little Yi Ya was fine and would wake up soon, but she did not wake up for more than two years. Could it be that the dragon pearl was with little Yi Ya, and because of the dragon pearl's rich energy, little Yi Ya was able to stay asleep and absorb the energy?

Furthermore, the senior had asked him to bring little Yi Ya to the Dragon clan. Wasn't that just returning the dragon pearl indirectly?!

He smiled helplessly. If that was the case, he would have been fooled by that senior. However, he did not do it that way. After all, that senior had helped him a lot.

"Perhaps we can win over a portion of the forces in the Dragon Valley this time around. This way, the total strength of the Eastern Palace Clan will once again rise to another level!" Donggong Qiu Ye said with a smile. He paused for a moment before continuing, "However, it will be difficult for Tianhao. He accepted the position of the Eastern Palace Clan at such a young age.

"Father, your elder brother's talent is outstanding to begin with. It is also a wise action for father to pass on the position of family head to elder brother." Donggong Ying said from the side.

Hearing this, the old man smiled, but didn't say anything. He brought the three of them and continued to walk outside.2

The old man brought Donggong Ying and Zhang Fan to a room and chatted. The chat lasted all the way until nightfall. At this time, the East Palace's Autumn Night had a meal with the two of them.

During the meal, Zhang Fan directly told Eastern Palace's Autumn Night about him going to the Dragon Valley.

Eastern Palace Qiu Ye frowned, and said directly: "Your honored level's strength is not bad, but you won't be able to return from the Dragon Valley. That place isn't as simple as you imagine. Your father and uncle can be considered better protected by the Eastern Palace Clan's supreme elders, so you and your mother can just wait here quietly …

Zhang Fan hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then told her the purpose of his visit to Dragon Valley. However, he was obviously taken aback when he heard this from Eastern Palace's Qiu Ye. "You have a little kid from the Profound Dragon clan."

"Yes!" Zhang Fan nodded his head, "She once protected me from serious injuries. I must go and take this risk."

Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Donggong Taiqing's brows furrowed. At the same time, Donggong Ying also opened his mouth and said, "Son, I'll go with you."

"How can I do that?" Donggong Taiqing, after hearing Ying Ying's words, rejected her directly. "Ying Ying, you've just woken up. Your strength is only at the Royal Level. How can I not worry about you going over there?"

In fact, he understood in his heart that perhaps his mother wanted to see his father as soon as possible in order to be in such a rush. He understood in his heart, but he did not want his mother to be in danger either.

Donggong Taiqing sighed inwardly. "Father, I am already a dead man, what is there to be afraid of? If I can see you before I die, then I am satisfied!"

"You little girl!" Eastern Palace Autumn Night's brows furrowed again, he knew his daughter's temper, she was so stubborn that she would definitely think of a way to do what she had decided. Even he, her father, would sometimes refuse to listen to her, in order to avoid Donggong Ying sneaking over, she directly said, "Then let me, this old bones, accompany you guys to take a look. I haven't been out for a long time, so I can see how things change outside …"

When Donggong Ying heard this, her face also revealed worry. She naturally noticed as well, and said with a smile, "Why are you still afraid that my old bones will implicate the two of you?"

"Father, you know that's not what I meant." Donggong Ying couldn't help but shake his head.

Dong Qiu Ye then laughed heartily. He then shifted his gaze to Zhang Fan. "Besides, I don't want my grandson to be harmed in any way."

As the words of the Eastern Palace's Autumn Night faded away, Zhang Fan's heart trembled slightly. He nodded his head but didn't say anything.

"Let's settle this as soon as possible. After that, we'll have a family reunion." As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze landed on Zhang Fan once more. She said, "You happen to know your two elder brothers as well."

Donggong Ying was stunned. "That's right. So many years have passed, and big brother's children are already old. Father, then where are sister-in-law and her two nephews?"

"Hehe, right now they're in charge of some of the clan's businesses!" Eastern Palace's Autumn Night said with a smile at this moment.

Donggong Ying Ying also came to an understanding after hearing this. At this moment, Donggong Taiqing and Qiuye spoke up: "Zhaojun and Zhaoyang are also extremely talented, but they are still lacking compared to Ling'er. Right now, one is at the 7th level of the Emperor Level and the other is at the 6th level of the Emperor level.

"Ai, the child is already so old, but I've never seen my aunt before. This is really too much!" Donggong Ying sighed once again.

A trace of melancholy surfaced in Eastern Palace Autumn Night's eyes once again. She smiled and said, "The matter is already in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore in the future. Let's eat first."

"En!" Donggong Ying nodded. She didn't say anything as she picked up a pair of chopsticks and gave Zhang Fan some food. With a benevolent expression, she said, "Eat more."

"Thank you, mother." Zhang Fan nodded with a smile, yet again feeling warm inside.
