THE CHAOS OF FIVE
Trouble found them anyway.
As Liuyue and Lianchen examined the temple, trying to understand the connection between the feather and this sacred place—
The five boys wandered.
Jinluo found fish.39Please respect copyright.PENANAyzW9GfJMm4
Tianyao found a slippery stone.39Please respect copyright.PENANAY7jmrdZFq2
Jianxu yelled “DON’T SLIP!”39Please respect copyright.PENANAvjDfOCTFc4
Tianyao slipped.39Please respect copyright.PENANAhsby1v7XOc
Hanxu dove in to help.39Please respect copyright.PENANA6Aqj77lqNw
Yulian screamed advice that helped no one.
Chaos erupted in less than three minutes.
Tianyao fell into the pond—
And something ancient awoke.

The feather suddenly burst into wild aura, spiraling like a furious spirit.
It shot straight toward Tianyao to kill him—
But the water of the sacred pond surged upward, forming a glowing barrier.
It shielded him.39Please respect copyright.PENANAwaOhpcTzMs
Protected him.39Please respect copyright.PENANAuvj9KLU1Ba
Stopped the feather cold.
Everyone went silent.
Lianchen whispered slowly:39Please respect copyright.PENANAwwBk68d0Cw
“…Is that… Long Wei’s son and daughter’s souls?”
Every one froze.
Lianchen stared at the pond.39Please respect copyright.PENANAatn6Ue0I23
Liuyue’s breath stopped.
Fifteen years ago, they sealed Long Wei’s daughter here.39Please respect copyright.PENANAnjvg8aUJx1
If this feather belonged to his son—
Then these two souls were siblings.
Yulian swallowed hard.39Please respect copyright.PENANAfAKdxbD7Z5
“Then… didn’t he just point at his sister?”
The realization shook everyone.
But the question remained—
Why?
Why would the son’s soul lead them to the sister’s resting place?39Please respect copyright.PENANAfMDh6hfgmt
Was she in danger?39Please respect copyright.PENANA7oPyMfAWNb
Was something wrong with the seal?39Please respect copyright.PENANAztcpH96ext
Or…
Had Heiwu Sect already begun their move?
No one knew.
Only one thing became clear:
The feather turned again.
This time—
It pointed straight toward the Long Clan.
“Why there…?” Tianyao whispered.
No one had an answer.
But danger was moving.
And the five boys had just stepped into the true beginning of their destiny.
The long journey finally brought them to the foot of the Long Clan’s Heavenly Ridge, where clouds curled like soft silk and dragon statues roared silently from ancient walls.

The glowing feather that guided them flickered…
…then stopped completely.
They had arrived.
Before anyone could speak, Long Jianxu and Long Tianyao sprinted ahead like two excited cubs.
“GRANDMOTHER!!!”
A refined woman in gold-embroidered robes turned—Matriarch Long Meiyun, her hair silver yet her aura sharp enough to slice mountains. The moment she saw the twins, her stern face melted.
Jianxu leapt into her arms first, laughing.39Please respect copyright.PENANAZrYKzmAj4S
Tianyao hugged her neck tight.
“Oh my precious dragons,” Meiyun whispered, voice trembling with affection. “I missed you two.”
Then she noticed the others.
She walked forward and pulled Huo Yulian into her embrace.
“You—yes, you, the naughty one.”39Please respect copyright.PENANAOBFkpC5eFN
She pinched his cheek lightly.
Yulian puffed out. “Grandmother Meiyun! Naughty? I’m the most civilized—”
“Mm-hm, yes,” she nodded politely, “the most civilized rascal alive.”
Jinluo laughed, earning a playful glare from Yulian.
Meiyun folded Jinluo into her arms too.39Please respect copyright.PENANA747S2ngSXT
“The witty one. Always thinking before speaking.”
Then she turned to Hanxu.
Her gaze softened—deeper, warmer.
“The calm moon among storms.”39Please respect copyright.PENANACcwZ3WxBKB
She placed both hands on Hanxu’s cheeks and kissed his forehead.
Hanxu stiffened in surprise… then leaned into the warmth.39Please respect copyright.PENANANucYnj8u8i
He wasn’t used to this.39Please respect copyright.PENANA1rkU2uruZf
He didn’t resist.
Finally, Meiyun greeted the adults.
“Liuyue,” she said, holding his hand as if he were her own child. “Welcome home.”
Liuyue bowed. “Aunt Meiyun.”
Then—39Please respect copyright.PENANA3nYT3iuFVq
She slapped Lianchen’s shoulder. Hard.
“You—old fox! Marrying my best friend and acting like you’re still twenty!”
Lianchen winced.39Please respect copyright.PENANAIRcU3PaMpb
“I’m literally your same age—why only me?!”
She ignored him completely and invited everyone inside.
The five boys instantly vanished to play.
The adults remained.
Their expressions gradually turned somber.
