Chapter 12984 Good Brothers

However, this tranquility did not last long. Long Yan's brows suddenly frowned slightly, as if he sensed something. He slowly waved his sleeves and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Come in."

As he finished speaking, the door of the study opened silently, and a man dressed in black and with a stern face walked into the room. He walked steadily, and every step revealed an extraordinary aura. He was the mysterious man who had left a deep impression on the strange island before.

The moment the man in black stepped into the study, his eyes naturally fell on Long Chen. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he quickly regained his composure and did not speak immediately. Obviously, he was a little surprised to see Long Chen in this situation.

Seeing this, Long Yan raised a faint smile. He knew the other party's concerns very well, so he explained softly: "Just say it if you have something to say. Long Chen is my son, and he will inherit my position sooner or later. Let him listen, so that he can understand the troubles and responsibilities of this world earlier."

Upon hearing this, the man in black bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Excellency!"

Then, he stated the purpose of his visit in a deep voice, "We have already found the whereabouts of the fourth Demon Sect treasure. The treasure actually appeared in the possession of a young man named Ling Xiao."

This person is currently being coveted by many forces. The Empress Palace, the Jiang Family, the Ji Family, and even some forces in the Holy Hall have all started to hunt him down because of the treasure on him. However, surprisingly, not many people know that the treasure is the true body of the Demon Sect's treasure. Most forces are probably just blindly following the trend and coveting the treasure. "

"What did you say his name is?" Long Chen's voice suddenly rose, with a hint of excitement and eagerness that was difficult to conceal. He turned around abruptly, staring at the man in black who had just reported the news, as if every word was as heavy as a thousand pounds, hitting his heart.

Ever since he chose to reincarnate into the world and stepped into the vast world of Bai Ze Continent, the endless longing and concern for his relatives in his heart has never stopped.

Especially the memories of his eldest brother Ling Xiao and third brother Jin Yan, like treasures buried deep in his heart, occasionally resurfacing, it makes him feel overwhelmed and unable to control himself. At this moment, when this familiar name suddenly sounded in his ears, the long-lost sense of intimacy instantly surged into his heart, making him almost unable to control himself.

"Master, his name is Ling Xiao." The man in black confirmed again, with a hint of subtle doubt in his tone, but more of respect and understanding for Long Chen's reaction.

He knew very well that although Long Chen was young, he held a very important position in this family, and possessed extraordinary wisdom and courage. Therefore, even though he was puzzled, he chose to answer truthfully and waited for the next instruction.

Then, the man in black seemed to feel the need to make his own suggestion, so he added: "I dare to suggest that we should act as soon as possible to take down the treasure. In this way, our Demon Suppression Mansion will have more bargaining chips with the Holy Hall and other forces, which will be of great benefit to the future situation."

His voice was steady and firm, revealing his dedication to the mission and his loyalty to his family.

However, just as Long Yan was about to speak, Long Chen took the lead and said with an unquestionable firmness in his tone: "Father, let me handle this matter. The person who possesses the treasure seems to be my old acquaintance whom I haven't seen for many years - Brother Ling Xiao."

At this point, Long Chen's eyes flashed with a complex emotion, with surprise, nostalgia, and even more anticipation and trepidation about the upcoming reunion. He knew very well that this was not just a simple treasure hunt, but also an opportunity for him to reunite with his family, an opportunity he must seize personally.

After hearing Long Chen's answer, Long Yan was slightly stunned, and a complicated look flashed in his deep eyes. Then he waved his hand lightly, and his tone was full of unquestionable majesty: "All of you go out, this matter needs to be discussed carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone who was originally standing in the study room seemed to have received an invisible command, and hurriedly bowed and retreated. Even the guards waiting outside the door consciously retreated hundreds of steps away to ensure that the conversation in the study room would not be disturbed by anyone.

When the study returned to silence, Long Yan's eyes fell on Long Chen again. His eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. He spoke slowly, with some indescribable emotion in his voice: "Could it be that this Ling Xiao is the sworn brother you often mention and think about?"

After saying this, his eyes revealed a hint of tenderness and understanding, and it was obvious that he had a deep understanding of Long Chen's emotional world.

"I dare not lie to my father, it is him!" Long Chen answered firmly and sincerely, his eyes flashing with anticipation and excitement, as if he could not wait to meet his long-lost brother. This deep brotherly friendship made him look particularly sincere and touching at this moment.

Hearing this, Long Yan couldn't help but sigh softly, with a faint smile on his face, an expression that was both gratified and complicated: "This is such a coincidence, fate is so wonderful. Well, since he is your brother, then I'll leave this matter to you."

“However, Chen'er, you must remember to act with caution and never let the Holy Hall get hold of any evidence against us. After all, nominally speaking, we manage the Demon Suppression Mansion on behalf of the Holy Hall, and any action we take needs to take this relationship into consideration.” His tone showed trust in Long Chen as well as expectations and reminders for his future actions.

"I know!" Long Chen nodded solemnly, knowing the weight and meaning of his father's words. He turned around and was about to leave, but at the moment he was about to step out of the study, he couldn't help but stop, his eyes penetrated the window, and cast towards the endless mountains in the distance.

There, it seemed as if his elder brother's figure was calling him, which made him feel indescribable excitement and expectation. He secretly made up his mind to find elder brother Ling Xiao as soon as possible and talk with him about the deep brotherly love.

……

Ling Xiao and Jin Yan quietly left the Strange Island. Their figures were as silent as two ghosts under the cover of night and dense forests, making sure that every move would leave no trace so as not to alert unnecessary ears and eyes.

They knew very well that the purpose of this trip was extremely sensitive and dangerous, and they had to take action against the Jiang family while ensuring that there were no chances of error.

As the footsteps got closer, the outline of the Jiang family gradually became clear in the dim light of morning.

This is a land carved by time and glory. Even if you look at it from a distance, you can still feel the afterglow of its former glory. As one of the seven major families in the East China Sea, the Jiang family is well-known and powerful enough to daunt any small family.

"Jiangcheng", this city named after the Jiang family, seems to be a symbol of the Jiang family's power and status.
