Long Qing's calmness and indifference made the Dragon Emperor feel as if there was a stone in his heart. He would rather Long Qing yell at him or even scold him. He did not want Long Qing to talk to him like this. It was as if she was talking to a stranger. After all, he was Long Qing's father.
Even though he was The Great Sage, the Dragon Emperor still could not remain calm in the face of his own daughter's indifference and calmness. Long Yang, who was at the side, also curled his lips helplessly at this time, not knowing what to say.
The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward. However, at this moment, one of the twelve elders sitting on both sides of the hall suddenly stood up and shouted.
"Impudent! He's your father. How can you be so rude?"
This elder was one of the twelve elders of the Dragon Clan. His cultivation was at the Half-step Great Sage Realm and his status was similar to Long Fen's. At this time, he was furious because of Long Qing's attitude and could not help but scold her.
However, in the face of this elder's scolding, the Dragon Emperor had already spoken before Long Qing could speak. "It's my fault. I've let Qing 'er down. Elder, please don't say anymore."
Perhaps it was because of the guilt in his heart towards Long Qing, the Dragon Emperor took the initiative to speak up for Long Qing in the face of this elder's scolding. He had not fulfilled his responsibility as a father for so many years. At this time, the Dragon Emperor was unwilling to see Long Qing suffer the slightest grievance.
However, this elder was obviously a stubborn person. In his opinion, there should be order in the hierarchy. Since Long Qing was a junior, how could she speak to her father with such an attitude?
Therefore, after the Dragon Emperor spoke, not only did the elder not give in, but he also said unhappily.
"Patriarch, there should be order in the hierarchy. As a daughter, how can you speak to your father like this? This old man earnestly requests the Patriarch to punish Long Qing as a warning to others."
Not only did he scold Long Qing, he even asked the Dragon Emperor to punish Long Qing. How could this be possible? Sure enough, after hearing this elder's words, the Dragon Emperor's face sank and said indifferently.
"I've already said that this matter is my fault. I didn't take good care of Qing 'er since she was young. Third Elder, this matter ends here."
The old man was the Third Elder of the Dragon Race. Upon hearing the Dragon Emperor's words, the Third Elder didn't seem to sense the anger in the Dragon Emperor's words at all. "Patriarch, nothing can be accomplished without rules. Our Dragon Race …"
The Third Elder still wanted to argue with reason. When he saw the Third Elder acting this way, the other old man beside him gently tugged on his sleeve. However, the Third Elder was completely undecided. In response, the old man could only shake his head and laugh bitterly.
Everyone present knew that the Third Elder was a typical one-track minded person. He was old and stubborn, but he dealt with things fairly. Therefore, the Third Elder had been in charge of the Dragon Clan's Punishment Hall since a long time ago, and was in charge of the punishment of the Dragon Clan.
Perhaps it was because the Third Elder had become more and more stubborn after being in charge of punishment. As long as he thought that something was against punishment, he would never give in. Even the Dragon Emperor's words had no effect on him.
This was the stone in the latrine. It was smelly and hard.
If it were any other time, the Dragon Emperor obviously wouldn't lower himself to the Third Elder's level. Besides, the Third Elder didn't have anything to say when he did things. But today was different. No matter how Long Qing behaved, the Dragon Emperor wouldn't blame Long Qing. He wouldn't even allow anyone to blame Long Qing either.
After so many years, it wasn't easy for him to see his daughter again. The Dragon Emperor wouldn't allow anyone to make Long Qing feel wronged, not even the Third Elder who held a high position.
"That's enough, Third Elder. Didn't you hear what I said? I said that this is the end of it. "
"Patriarch …" The Dragon Emperor was already fuming. However, the Third Elder still wanted to refute.
But this time, before the Third Elder could say anything, the Dragon Emperor's eyes glinted with a cold glint and he bellowed. "Get lost."
The Dragon Emperor couldn't hide his anger anymore after the Third Elder repeatedly tried to punish Long Qing. Along with his bellow, a dragon roar resounded in the hall. Xiao Chen and the other three felt deafened and dizzy.
The might of The Great Sage's bellow was unbearable for Xiao Chen and the other three. Seeing that Long Qing was on the verge of collapsing, the Dragon Emperor couldn't care less about anything else. He immediately stepped forward and supported Long Qing.
"I'll give you three breaths of time. If you don't get lost, don't blame me for being rude." While supporting Long Qing, the Dragon Emperor swept a cold glance at everyone present. It was obvious that the Dragon Emperor was truly enraged.
At this moment, all the Elders present disappeared from the large hall without any hesitation. Even the third Elder was forcefully dragged out of the large hall by Long Fen and another Elder.
After everyone left, only the Dragon Emperor, Xiao Chen, and the other four were left in the hall. At that moment, Long Qing returned to her senses and took the initiative to break free from the Dragon Emperor's embrace.
Upon sensing Long Qing's struggle, the loneliness in the Dragon Emperor's eyes intensified. His own daughter was actually so defensive and resistant against him. In an instant, the Dragon Emperor's feelings were indescribable.
After letting go of Long Qing silently, the Dragon Emperor turned around and walked to the main seat. But before he took two steps, Long Qing's voice sounded behind him.
"I … I'm still not used to it. I'm sorry, Fa … Father …"
Upon hearing Long Qing's' Father ', the Dragon Emperor turned around abruptly and looked at Long Qing in surprise. Needless to say, the excitement in his eyes went without saying.
To be able to make The Great Sage lose his composure, it went to show how much Long Qing's' Father 'had touched the Dragon Emperor. Facing the Dragon Emperor's gaze, Long Qing blushed and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
As mentioned earlier, Long Qing didn't have the slightest bit of hatred toward the dragon race and the Dragon Emperor. The reason why she appeared so indifferent was definitely related to Long Qing's personality. Long Qing had always been indifferent to outsiders, so it wasn't her fault.
However, after interacting with the Dragon Emperor for a short while, Long Qing felt a strong sense of care and concern from the Dragon Emperor. This kind of care and concern was not an act, but came from the bottom of his heart.
The Dragon Emperor was indeed a father. A father who loved his daughter dearly and blamed himself. Long Qing was slightly moved by his strong fatherly love. But with her personality, it was obviously impossible for her to accept him as her father right away.
But the fact that Long Qing could say such words proved that there were some changes in her state of mind. Upon seeing Long Qing lowering her head shyly, the Dragon Emperor stared blankly for a few moments before bursting into laughter. "Haha, haha, haha.
Don't worry, Qing 'er. Father knows that you've suffered all these years. But from now on, Father will definitely not let you suffer any more grievances. No one will let you suffer. Haha. Okay. "
