Chapter 526 The estrangement between father and son
King Dong had no way of responding to this statement. The rift between this father and son could not be resolved with just a few words.
At the beginning, they also tacitly agreed to sacrifice the young man in front of them for the sake of the entire tribe.
"Uncle Yan, I only have one question. If something happened to Aye back then, would you have made the same decision as my father?"
King Dong was stunned for a moment and then shook his head.
Even if he had to sacrifice his son, his tough wife would not let her son suffer any injustice.
Xuan Cang smiled helplessly and said, "So, my father was the same. It's not that he couldn't protect me. He just chose the option that was most beneficial to consolidate his power at the time. He was the one who gave up on me, his son, first."
King Dong said no more and patted him on the shoulder.
When the two found the West King's Palace where the patriarch was, the patriarch was talking to the patriarch of the Jiaolong tribe next to him, now the Jiao Lord, and no one knew what he was talking about.
Sitting next to the clan leader was the King of the North who looked unhappy. Next to the King of the North was Xuan Chong who had previously blocked Xuan Cang and others from entering. At this moment, standing next to him was a woman with beautiful features.
When the woman saw Xuan Cang behind the Eastern King, she could not help but stand up and said in a sharp voice: "Uncle Mang, it was he who had Ah Chong taken away. Xuanye actually dared to bring such a Black Dragon criminal into the Black Dragon Clan gate and even had people beat up the Northern King's crown prince. You must take care of Ah Chong and me!"
The Black Dragon Clan leader glanced at the woman and did not answer her question directly. Instead, he drank a sip of wine leisurely, looked at the Jiao Lord and smiled, "Look at you. You and Ah Chong are already on the same page before you officially become a couple. I can't even remember that you were originally Xuan Cang's fiancée."
The leader of the Jiaolong clan, now the Jiao Lord, turned black in the face when he heard his daughter's shout. Naturally, he was displeased to be criticized by the Black Lord.
But things had developed to this point, and he had no choice but to support his most beloved daughter.
"Brother Xuanmang, it's bad enough that Xuan Cang came in, but he also asked people to beat up Xuan Chong. It's really unruly. What's more, he was not good at guarding the ancient dragon ball back then..."
"The ancient dragon ball has been found." King Dong couldn't help but speak.
Even if it was for Lin Zhao to cure her son, he had to stand on Xuan Cang's side today no matter what, so that Xuan Cang could successfully clear his past grievances and return to his clan smoothly.
"And it's not completely certain that Xuan Cang was negligent in what happened back then. When we found Xuan Cang, he was seriously injured and fainted on the ground."
The North King sneered, and looked at the East King with a gaze as cold as a venomous snake. "The East King said this, could it be that we are wrongly accusing him? The decision to judge him as the sinful dragon was made by the clan leader. It's okay for us, but are you saying that the clan leader would wrongly accuse his own son?!"
The King of the East did not expect that the King of the North could approach the issue from this angle, and for a moment he was infuriated by the King of the North's shamelessness.
Of course he knew the North King's intention to trample Xuan Cang to death. Firstly, if Xuan Cang returned, his son would inevitably return to the position of second in command for ten thousand years and would have no hope of becoming the next clan leader. Secondly, once Xuan Cang was cleared of his grievances, the person most suitable for marriage with the Dragon Lord's beloved daughter would naturally not be his son, but Xuan Cang, whose bloodline and identity were more suitable.
Seeing that these readily available benefits would be disrupted by Xuan Cang's return, the King of the North was naturally unwilling to see Xuan Cang's return.
But now the King of the North has no say in all this!
King Dong subconsciously looked at the clan leader. Whether Xuan Cang could return and successfully clear his grievances depended entirely on whether the Black Dragon clan leader was willing to give Xuan Cang some time to explain.
Obviously, the others were not stupid either. Both the Dragon Lord and the Northern King turned their eyes to the Black Lord.
Xuan Chong reminded in a gloomy tone, "I remember Xuan Cang brought two women with him when he came back, and one of them seemed to be holding a child in her arms."
If the Dragon Lord was still hesitating whether to follow his daughter's choice and support Xuan Chong, or to choose Xuan Cang, who was obviously better in talent, strength and character, now that he knew that Xuan Cang had another woman outside, he had no choice.
No matter how unreasonable his Lord Jiao's daughter was, she was still the golden branch of the Jiaolong clan. How could she be on an equal footing with another woman?
"Brother Mang, you were the one who agreed to cancel the engagement between my beloved daughter and Ah Cang. Now that it's canceled, don't mention the engagement. My beloved daughter and Ah Chong are in love and are about to get married. If you mention the past again, it will not be comfortable for them or our two tribes."
The Black Dragon Clan leader's eyes fell on his son and asked, "What is your relationship with those two women?"
Xuan Chong noticed that when the Black Dragon Clan leader asked, not only others, but even himself, his fellow Taoist who had completely given up on Xuan Cang, became interested, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth for a moment.
No one knew better than him why this arrogant and delicate woman from the Jiaolong clan betrayed Xuan Cang and chose him.
Jiao Rong naturally chose to make an engagement with Xuan Cang because she liked him more. However, Xuan Cang was not smart enough. Even though he made an engagement with her, he did not seem to have any special feelings towards her. He even hated Jiao Rong for meddling in his affairs and even not allowing him to talk to other women of the same tribe. Therefore, he was very cold to Jiao Rong.
Jiao Rong couldn't stand Xuan Cang's attitude, so she chose Xuan Chong, who always obeyed her.
But she was not blind. Xuan Chong was not even a little bit inferior to Xuan Cang. The Jiaolong clan would never agree to her marrying a perennial runner-up. She also wanted Xuan Cang to pay the price for her indifference, so she agreed to the original plan.
She originally thought that Xuan Cang was cold to her, but in fact he was just not smart. After all, Xuan Cang was not that warm to other women. Although he was not gentle and caring to her, he fulfilled his responsibilities as a fiancé, at least better than he treated other women. Jiao Rong always thought that she was the only one who dumped him, and there was no way Xuan Cang had the right to choose another woman.
Now that he knew Xuan Cang had brought back other women, two at a time, and one of them had a child, he was so angry that scales appeared on his face.
Her mood change was so obvious that not only Xuan Chong noticed it, but others also noticed it.
The Black Dragon Chief smiled, but Xuan Cang pretended not to hear him: "Xiao Rui is my wife, A Bao is my child, and Miss Lin is the savior of our family of three."
He explained the identities of Pistil and Abao clearly. The Black Dragon Chief shook his head but did not admit it. He changed the question: "Now that you are back, can you prove your innocence?"
It was clearly the man in front of him who led everyone to throw mud at him in the first place, but now he asked such a ridiculous question. If it wasn't for A Bao's return to his ancestral home, Xuan Cang really didn't want to speak.
However, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Xuan Cang clenched his fists and said, "Yes."
