Fall: Rebirth

The main gate of the Golden Dragon Clan is extremely spectacular. It is two giant golden doors carefully forged from thousand-year-old black iron. The doors are dozens of feet high and more than several feet wide. They are engraved with majestic relief patterns of flying dragons and dancing phoenixes. These reliefs are like living creatures, as if they will transform into real dragons at any time, and then soar into the sky.

After passing through this towering golden gate, a wide and straight golden road appeared before one's eyes. This road was hundreds of feet long, and the road surface was paved with golden bricks, like a golden road leading to a mysterious place.

Neatly arranged on both sides of the road are rows of dragon-shaped street lamps carved from fine jade. These street lamps are not only exquisitely and uniquely shaped, but also emit a soft and warm light, illuminating the entire avenue.

Keep walking along the Golden Avenue and you will eventually arrive at a magnificent palace.

The roof of this hall is unique. It is a huge dome composed of countless pieces of dragon scales shining with golden light. When the first ray of sunlight falls in the morning, the light will shine through the gaps between the dragon scales, forming dazzling golden beams, giving people a sense of sacredness and solemnity.

Entering the hall, you can see a huge dragon throne in the center. This dragon throne is completely carved from a huge stone, and a majestic golden dragon is perched on it. This golden dragon is lifelike, as if it is rolling and flying in the clouds. Especially the dragon's eyes, which are inlaid with two crystal clear and dazzling gems, flashing a heart-pounding light.

Around the dragon seat, there are exquisite dragon-shaped incense burners, which are exquisitely crafted, with smooth and natural lines, and emit bursts of fresh and pleasant fragrance from time to time.

Looking around the walls of the main hall, there were portraits of the Golden Dragon clan leaders from past generations. Each portrait was painted extremely realistically, as if the clan leaders could walk out of the portrait at any time.

Ling Xiao was sitting in the hall at the moment. He was tall and straight, wearing a golden-red robe with a golden dragon pattern, embroidered with mysterious runes symbolizing power and wisdom, and a crown inlaid with mysterious golden gems. His eyes flashed with a firm and deep light, his face was dignified, and his every move revealed supreme authority.

Hai sat next to Ling Xiao. Her clothes were mainly blue, with wave patterns embroidered on the hem, as soft as water. She wore a crown made of pearls and shells on her head. Her face was gentle, giving people a sense of gentle power.

Ling Shuang stood in front of the palace, wearing a long skirt decorated with frost flowers, the frost flowers on the skirt seemed to slowly bloom in the sun. Her face was a little cold and arrogant, but she did not lose the noble temperament of the dragon clan.

Ling Shuang was walking back and forth in front of the palace, looking out the door from time to time. She was anxiously waiting for her brothers to return from the divine realm.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Ling Xuan walked in slowly from outside the hall, his figure as straight as a pine tree, his steps steady and powerful. He was wearing a dark black brocade robe, with a lifelike golden dragon totem embroidered on it, and it seemed as if it was about to fly into the air with its fangs and claws bared. This gorgeous dress not only showed his introverted and deep temperament, but also exuded a kind of majesty that no one dared to underestimate.

"Brother!" Ling Shuang was overjoyed when she saw Ling Xuan. She stood up and walked towards him quickly. Her beautiful face was filled with smiles, as bright and dazzling as a blooming spring flower.

When Ling Xuan entered the hall, his eyes first fell on Ling Shuang, who was anxiously waiting for his return. His heart warmed up, and a gentle smile like jade appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Afterwards, Ling Xuan respectfully bowed to his parents in the hall and greeted them. Then he walked over to Ling Shuang, gently patted her thin shoulders, and asked softly, "Shuang'er, have you been well-behaved recently?"

However, when Ling Shuang found out that Ling Han did not come back with her, a barely perceptible look of disappointment suddenly flashed across her pretty face that was originally full of expectation and joy.

"Where is my second brother?" Ling Shuang looked up at Ling Xuan, her watery eyes full of confusion and concern.

Seeing this, Ling Xuan reached out his hand again, gently stroked his sister's hair, and consoled her: "Ling Han is accompanying his friends to visit the Silver Dragon Clan, and may not be able to get away today."

Hearing this, Ling Shuang's slightly lonely expression became more sympathetic. "I see... It's understandable that my second brother has made close friends and went to have some fun. But... Shuang'er really misses my second brother." At the end, Ling Shuang's voice couldn't help but lower, her eyes slightly red, as if tears were rolling in them, looking really lovable.

As a father, Ling Xiao was full of love for his three children. When he looked at Ling Shuang and Ling Xuan, his eyes were filled with satisfaction; however, when he mentioned Ling Han's name, he couldn't help but fall into deep memories - because Ling Han's mother was the woman Ling Xiao loved most in his life! This deep love made Ling Xiao cherish Ling Han as well.

But every time he met Ling Han, those beautiful past memories would come flooding back to his mind, making Ling Xiao feel sad. So, sometimes he would choose to avoid Ling Han, so as not to be reminded of his past and add to his troubles.

To others, especially Hai, it seemed as if Ling Xiao was indifferent to Ling Han. It was for this reason that Hai dared to ignore Ling Han so recklessly. Even the servants in the family began to point fingers at Ling Han behind his back, with a very disrespectful attitude.

At this moment, Hai suddenly spoke up: "This Ling Han really has no rules at all, he just runs out and plays crazy all day long!"

You know, Hai is the biological mother of Ling Xuan and Ling Shuang, but Ling Han is not her biological child. Perhaps because of this, Hai always harbors a grudge against Ling Han, and her words are often sarcastic and quite harsh.

As for Ling Xuan, he always maintained a neutral stance. No matter how his mother evaluated Ling Han, he remained silent and said nothing.

Ling Shuang looked at Hai Shi, a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes, but she still tried to remain polite, "Second brother just made a friend, it's understandable for him to visit."

Although Hai was somewhat dissatisfied when she saw this scene, she could do nothing about it. After all, Ling Han was Ling Shuang's brother, and the kinship between them could not be severed.
