Supreme Dragon Palace

Cao's house in Shangjing.

Several direct blood relatives of the Cao family gathered in the study.

Cao Jincheng sat on the mahogany chair behind the desk, his face was rather ugly and worried.

"Dad, you called us back suddenly, did something happen?"

The one who asked was Cao Jincheng's eldest son, Cao Zhanxiang, a gentleman with a refined temperament.

Cao Jincheng had three sons and a daughter, and Cao Qiming, who was imprisoned by Yu Ran, was his second son.

"Dad, where's the second brother? Why didn't he come?"

Cao Fengning, Cao Jincheng's third son, looked around and asked suspiciously.

"Dad, did something happen to the second brother? It's related to what happened in Linhai?" Cao Wanqing, who was beautiful and cold, asked with a frown.

Cao Wanqing is the youngest daughter of Cao Jincheng, and the only woman in the third generation of the Cao family, who has always been regarded by Cao Jincheng as the apple of his eye.

Coupled with his natural intelligence, extremely high cultivation talent, and extremely beautiful appearance, he is even more favored.

Although she is a daughter, she has a very high status in the Cao family. Whenever the Cao family discusses important matters, she has a seat.

Cao Jincheng took a deep look at his beloved daughter and sighed, he couldn't hide anything from his clever daughter.

It's a pity, if it's a man, the next head of the Cao family must be him!

Cao Zhanxiang and Cao Fengning were shocked when they heard this.

"Dad, did something really happen to the second brother?"

"Dad, when did the second brother go to Linhai? What did he do in Linhai?"

The two asked quickly.

Cao Jincheng said in a deep voice: "A few days ago Zhu Yang called me and said that he was going to attack the Xing family. Please let me hold the Zheng family back."

"I sent Qiming to Linhai. I thought that after Zhu Yang wiped out the Xing family, I would let Qiming get rid of Zhu Yang, support the Shangguan family to take over Linhai secretly."

"However, from yesterday until now, I have not been able to contact Qiming."

"The Xing family, the Shangguan family and other seaside forces have all been accused by the Dragon Kingdom of being connected to foreign countries and murdering the heroes of the Dragon Kingdom... All the properties of these families have been seized by the patrol department of the Dragon Kingdom!"

"I suspect that Qiming is very likely to be captured by the patrolling department of Longguo!"

"That's impossible, Dad, Qiming is from our Cao family, how dare Long Guo do anything to him?"

The Dragon Kingdom has always treated the royal families with great courtesy. Even if someone from the royal family committed a crime, the Dragon Kingdom would only give a small warning.

The punishment is not on the royal family.

This is the tacit understanding reached between the Dragon Kingdom and the royal family for decades.

Cao Fengning felt that this matter should have nothing to do with Longguo.

Cao Zhanxiang had the same thought as his third brother, and also felt that Qiming's loss of contact should have nothing to do with Longguo.

However, Cao Wanqing's thoughts were different from those of the two elder brothers. She nodded solemnly and said, "Dad, even if the second brother's disappearance is not directly related to Long Guo, it must be related."

"Fourth sister, it can't be, isn't Longguo trying to turn against our royal family by attacking Qiming? Does Longguo dare?" Cao Fengning sneered.

He felt that Dad and Fourth Sister were completely joking.

Cao Jincheng took a deep look at the eldest son and the third son, and said with a bit of resentment: "You two usually pay more attention to current affairs! Stop fooling around outside for me!"

"The Dragon Kingdom has already attacked the royal family."

"The royal family in Central China, the No.16 sequence royal family, was taken down by the war department yesterday."

"The crime is the same as that of the Xing family, colluding with foreign countries and betraying national interests!"

"What? Is Longguo crazy? What do those old fellows in Denglongge want to do? Aren't they afraid that our royal families will unite to rebel?"

Cao Fengning said with a face full of astonishment.

Cao Jincheng glanced at his third son, not bothering to talk to this fool.

Now that Denglong Pavilion has made a move, are you afraid that the royal families will unite to resist?I'm afraid, Denglong Pavilion is eager for the royal family to make trouble now, and just has an excuse to take it down in one fell swoop!
"Denglong Pavilion hid for decades, and finally showed its sharp claws." Cao Wanqing sneered, "However, we don't need to worry too much."

"The Pyro Academy, one of the five hidden sects, has approved my application for admission. From now on, I will be a disciple of the Pyro Academy."

"Denglong Pavilion dare not easily offend our Cao family, at least, absolutely not on the surface!"

Cao Wanqing couldn't hide her pride.

The Tinder Academy, one of the five hidden sects, is a super power standing at the top of the pyramid in this world.

The conditions for recruiting disciples in the Academy are extremely strict, and only one hundred students are recruited every five years.

All the people who are selected by the Pyro Academy are top talents who are one in a million.

The fact that Cao Wanqing was selected by the Tinder Academy shows her amazing talent!
Cao Jincheng couldn't help showing pride.

His daughter was selected by the Tinder School, which is even more fulfilling than when he single-handedly promoted the Cao family from a quasi-royal family to a royal family five years ago!
Both Cao Zhanxiang and Cao Fengning showed envious expressions.

"Wanqing, what advice do you have for your second brother?"

Cao Jincheng smiled and asked his daughter's opinion.

Of all the descendants of the Cao family, probably only Cao Wanqing has this kind of treatment.

Cao Wanqing analyzed calmly: "Dad, the most urgent thing is to find out the whereabouts of the second brother. If you are alive, you must see the person, and if you die, you must see the corpse."

"As long as the second brother shows up in Linhai, we will definitely be able to find out the clues of the second brother."

"It just so happens that the senior in charge of recruiting students from the academy will go to Linhai in two days, and I will accompany you as the host when the time comes. Dad, let me take care of the second brother's affairs!"

"If the second brother really falls into the hands of the Long Guo Patrol Division, I will ask Long Guo to release him as a disciple of the academy, and I will make an apology!"

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll leave this matter to you, Wanqing, you can use all the resources of the Cao family at will." Cao Jincheng handed the token symbolizing the identity of the patriarch to Cao Wanqing, and said in a deep voice.

Cao Wanqing took the token and nodded vigorously: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely bring my second brother back."

"Well, I believe you."

Cao Jincheng smiled all over his face, and then looked at his two sons, his expression became severe again, "You two, give me some peace during this time, and don't let Denglongge get caught, understand?"

Cao Zhanxiang and Cao Fengning rolled their eyes, and answered weakly.

They felt that their father called them here not to discuss important matters at all, but to come and be scolded.

"Go away, I'm annoying when I see you, and I don't do business all day long. If you have one percent of my little sister's ability, I will be thankful."

No comparison no harm!
The more outstanding the daughter is, the more she will set off the incompetence and mediocrity of these sons!Cao Jincheng glared at the two sons angrily.

Cao Zhanxiang and Cao Fengning did not dare to refute, and left the study in despair.

Cao Wanqing was a little embarrassed, and discussed with her father the possible next steps in Denglong Pavilion, and then she also walked out of the study, ready to investigate the matter of the second brother.

Cao Jincheng got up and stood in front of the French window, looking in a certain direction of Shangjing, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself: "Yu Kuang, when my daughter and your son were engaged, everyone said that my Cao family was the one who got married."

"Hmph, now my daughter of Cao Jincheng is going to become a student of the Pyro Academy. In the future, she will be a Phoenix of Nine Heavens, above the common people."

"Tell me, who is it and who did you climb up?"
