As he said this, there was a hostile tone in his voice.
However, that couldn't be blamed on him since there were these strangers that were in his Azure Dragon Tribe's hidden room.
Hong Long came in between us and him, raising his hand as he said, "They're not bad people. Calm down and let me explain."
That person narrowed his eyes to look at Hong Long before shutting the door and sitting down in one of the chairs here. Then he said in a calm voice that still had a bit of pressure in it, "Explain then."
Hong Long nodded before sitting down with him and starting to explain what happened.
He told this person about how he had met Lin Fan on the Blue Star Planet and about everything that had happened up to this point. Of course, he had made sure to leave out a few things since he felt that it would be too shocking to tell him these things now.
But when he told him about the Dragon Stone…
"Dragon Stone? You're saying that you have the Dragon Stone?" That person jumped out of his chair and turned to stare at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan couldn't help taking a step back at how intense his gaze was.
Hong Long grabbed that person by the shoulder and made him sit back down before saying, "We do have the Dragon Stone right now, but…"
He left his voice trailing off, but it was clear what he was implying.
That person nodded in response to this before sitting down to think.
After all, it wasn't as if he could just evacuate the entire manor right away without any explanation. If he were to do something like this, there was no doubt that people would become suspicious.
Right now, the situation in the Azure Dragon Tribe was already tense enough without him making it even more tense.
As they sat there in silence, Hong Long acted like he suddenly remembered something and he said, "Xiao Ao is here too."
When that person heard this, he immediately jumped up again. This time, he revealed a vigilant look and looked all around himself before saying, "You're saying Xiao Ao is here? Where is he? This place isn't safe."
Hong Long raised his hands to calm him down before saying, "Xiao Ao is in a safe place right now and we can bring him here at any time, but…"
Once again, he left his sentence incomplete, but it was clear what he was implying.
This time, this person didn't waste any time at all.
He pulled out something that seemed to be in the shape of a rock and then with a burst of light from that thing, there was a barrier that suddenly appeared around this room.
When Lin Fan and the others tried to test this barrier, they found that they weren't able to break through it with any casual probes. Only if they focused themselves would they be able to make a dent in the barrier, but of course that wasn't what they wanted to do.
They could tell that this barrier had been laid down to protect them from being spied on.
In fact, this barrier was one of the supreme treasures of the Azure Dragon Tribe.
It was something that had been left behind by the ancestors of the Azure Dragon Tribe, giving them the power to create a barrier that contained the power of the ancestors. This was a power that was close to reaching the peak of the Ruler Realm, so normal people wouldn't be able to do a thing against this barrier.
But since it was one of the supreme treasures of the Azure Dragon Tribe, it was something that was very precious.
At the same time, there was only a limited number of times that this thing could be used.
The fact that this person had used it without any hesitation really showed how impulsive he was.
But at the same time, it also showed just how much he cared about his son since this person was Qing Ao's father and the head of the Azure Dragon Tribe.
Once the barrier had been laid down, Qing Ao's father immediately said to Hong Long, "Where's Xiao Ao?"
This was a voice that brokered no argument and he wouldn't let Hong Long get a word in edgewise.
Seeing this, Hong Long gave a sigh and turned to look at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan gave a nod before calling out Qing Ao and Qing Bao Lan. As for the rest, he decided that it was better not to call them out for now.
When the two of them appeared, they had very different reactions.
Qing Ao immediately went over to Qing Bao Lan's side as if he was going to protect her while Qing Bao Lan started looking around, as if she was looking for something.
Once they reacted to what had happened and they saw where they were, Qing Ao let his guard down a bit while Qing Bao Lan started searching even harder. She walked around the room and looked all over for what she was looking for.
As for what she was looking for, it was naturally Xiao Feng.
She had just been in the pet storage space with Xiao Feng, so being suddenly called out alone was something that she wasn't happy about.
When she couldn't find Xiao Feng, the person she glared at was naturally Lin Fan.
But on the other side, when Qing Ao and his father saw each other, they stared at each other in silence for a few seconds before suddenly coming forward to hug each other.
"Father!"
"Xiao Ao!"
The two of them just stayed there like this for a minute before finally separating from each other.
During this time, Qing Bao Lan had gone over to Lin Fan and was using her small hands to hit his leg, as if she was complaining to him. Of course, she didn't use any actual strength or life energy when she hit him.
In short, it was just a kid's tantrum.
Lin Fan just ignored her as he watched Qing Ao and his father reuniting.
After they finished hugging, Qing Ao's father asked, "Xiao Ao, what are you doing back here? Where did you come from?"
Qing Ao raised his hand to stop his father before saying, "Let's sit, I'll explain everything."
Qing Ao's father looked at him again with a deep look before nodding and sitting down.
Over the next fifteen minutes, he told him about everything that had happened. There were many things that overlapped with what Hong Long had told him, but Qing Ao also added in a few things that Hong Long hadn't mentioned.
When he heard these things, Qing Ao's father couldn't help glaring at Hong Long who had left them out.
Hong Long just looked back at him with an awkward smile.
Even if he had left these details out, he had done it for a good reason. As Qing Ao told him everything, Qing Ao's father couldn't help revealing shocked looks.
It was just a good thing that it was his son who told him this or he might have found it hard to believe because of his shock.
When he finished telling the story, Qing Ao's father couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a strange look.
If it was anyone else who had told him this, he might have found all of this hard to believe.
However, since it was his son and one of his oldest friends that told him this, he had no choice but to believe that it was true.
But at the same time, there was a trace of hostility that appeared in the eyes of Qing Ao's father. This person had forced his son and his granddaughter into a contract, so there was bound to be a bit of hostility between them.
Even though Qing Ao clearly told him that they had formed the contract willingly, Qing Ao's father still felt hostile towards Lin Fan. He didn't accept that his son and granddaughter would willingly accept a contract with a human, so he was certain that Lin Fan must have done something to trick them.
Lin Fan just revealed a slightly bitter smile when he saw this, but he didn't do anything.
After glaring at Lin Fan for a bit, Qing Ao's father turned his attention to Qing Bao Lan.
When these eyes fell onto Qing Bao Lan, all of the seriousness in them disappeared without a trace and what was replaced was a doting look.
When Lin Fan saw this, he couldn't help thinking of…the doting look that Qing Ao had whenever he looked at Qing Bao Lan as well.
It seemed that this tradition of doting on their children and grandchildren ran in the family…
But Qing Bao Lan completely ignored this grandfather of hers and was still focused on punching Lin Fan's leg. Her cheeks were also pouted and there was a displeased look in her eyes to show that she was throwing a tantrum.
Qing Ao's father had been focused on Qing Ao just now, so he had forgotten about Qing Bao Lan for a second. But now that he was fully focused on her, he started glaring at Lin Fan even more than before.
Lin Fan just gave a sigh before saying, "I can't let Xiao Feng out right now."
Qing Bao Lan pouted her cheeks even more when she heard this.
But Qing Ao's father had a completely different reaction.
In a voice that seemed calm, but had dark undertones, he said, "Xiao Feng? Who is Xiao Feng?"
