The Dragon Beside Me - Chapter 132

Seeing that Long Fei had come out of the water, Long Yu Heng followed him until they reached his courtyard. When they arrived at the courtyard, Long Yu Heng was surprised to see the huge bruise on his cousin’s body.

Instantly, he was reminded of the big ripple on the water earlier. “Ah Fei, what’s wrong?”

“Just help me to get some ointment. It will be fine.”

Turning around, Long Yu Heng walked over to the wardrobe and pulled out the medicine kit. He found the ointment and looked at the injury again.

The wound was still fresh and it was looking very scary.

Without saying a word, Long Fei began to massage the injury on his body. His brow furrowed as he bear with the pain.

“Ah Fei, it seemed very bad. Perhaps if you go and see Miss Su…”

“No.” Long Fei quickly shot his cousin a warning look. “If I heal too quickly, my dad would notice something. I still wanted to keep Su Ruan a secret from them. Yu Heng, you cannot say anything about her to the elders.”

Long Yu Heng nodded. His gaze was still on the reddened bruise. The more he looked at it, the more he felt distressed. “Ah Fei, what happened down there?”

“What else?” Long Fei sneered. “That old man was too stubborn to listen. I thought I was going to help him. But now, he has to coax my mother himself.”

His lips pursed into a thin line. After being around this cousin and watching how the father and son had interacted, Long Yu Heng believed that it was not solely his elder uncle’s fault.

The father and son could not communicate well. Each time they saw each other, they would throw gunpowder at each other.

Previously, his eldest aunt was around and could help them to calm down. But now that she had decided to return to her family…

Long Yu Heng could imagine that the father and son’s relationship will only get worst.

As the thought came to his mind, Long Yu Heng made a note to go and find the Old Master to discuss some matters. Someone will have to talk to the eldest aunt and coax her to come back.

Otherwise, if the father and son continued to fight like this, perhaps they might lose a place to live in. Who knew how aggressive a fight between them can be.

After helping Long Fei to apply some ointment, Long Yu Heng finally left the room.

Just as he stepped out of the courtyard, Long Yu Heng was surprised to find his father already waiting for him.

“How is Ah Fei?” Long Lan asked as he peeked into the room. “Is he alright?”

Long Yu Heng let out a heavy breath. “Dad, someone needs to talk to Eldest Aunt and convince her to come back. Otherwise, the situation will only get worst. Just now, their fight was too intense and Ah Fei was injured.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to help. However your grandfather had given the order that we shouldn’t interfere with your Eldest Uncle’s matter,” Long Lan said. “Your grandfather… he wanted your uncle to learn from his mistake. After that fight earlier, I don’t think that your grandfather would be softhearted.”

Initially, it wouldn’t be so difficult to talk to the Old Master. But once he heard that the father and son were fighting underwater, the Old Master’s expression turned uglier. No one dared to get close and talk to him.

A deep frown appeared on his face as he recalled overhearing the elders’ plan for Long Fei earlier. It seemed that it would be better if his eldest sister-in-law was not present. Otherwise, she would be furious as well.

“Why are all the dragons are too hot-tempered and unreasonable?” Long Yu Heng could not help but mutter.

“That girl. Ah Fei’s fated one… is there any news about her?”

“Dad, you also knew that the incident happened during his childhood,” Long Yu Heng made an excuse. “It would be difficult to find her especially since we don’t have that much information about her.”

Long Lan heaved a heavy sigh. It would be better if Long Fei find the girl quickly. Otherwise, the elders would take advantage of this situation and this would only make Long Fei unhappy.

Seeing that his son was about to turn around and leave, Long Lan hesitated for a few seconds before he spoke, “Yu Heng… You have to stay around Ah Fei and help him to calm down.”

Long Yu Heng nodded. But soon, he began to feel that something does not feel right with his father’s words. “Dad, what’s going on?”

“Nothing.” Long Lan hesitated. “You should know the reason why your Eldest Uncle and Ah Fei got into an argument in the first place, right?”

“I know.” Long Yu Heng nodded.

After he returned to the house, he had asked around and heard the nature of the father and son’s argument.

The elders grew impatient after Long Fei had failed to bring back his fated one. Without an heir to continue the bloodline, the elders were worried about their future and wealth.

They were thinking that, even if Long Fei could not find his fated one, he should be married to a girl from a reputable family. This way, even if they could no longer continue to have the dragon’s power, at least their family would still be well off.

When Long Yu Heng heard those words, he too was angry.

The elders were too controlling and his Eldest Uncle would listen to them.

Sometimes, Long Yu Heng thought that Long Fei is too pitiful. Although he was said to be powerful, he still needed to listen to the elders well. The dragon’s power seemed to be useless and it only allow others to make use of him.

Ah Fei was right. There was nothing good with this blood.

“I really don’t know what was Grandfather and Eldest Uncle are thinking,” Long Yu Heng said. “If only they told Ah Fei earlier that he have this choice, Ah Fei would not be this angry.”

Long Lan’s lips curled into a helpless sigh. “Yu Heng, this is a secret between us, but I heard that in a few days the elders are planning to introduce him to a few girls.”

Long Yu Heng looked at his father in surprise. “What?”
