Thus, the issue regarding Ao Bing's Inheritance Ceremony was satisfactorily resolved. In the following days, Ao Long Wang personally guided Li Jing and his wife on a tour of the Dragon Palace, showcasing the culture and lifestyle of the Dragon Tribe. Meanwhile, Nezha and Ao Bing strolled through the palace gardens, sharing their joys and reflections.
"I never expected it to go so smoothly," Ao Bing remarked, "I always thought my father would be more stubborn."
Nezha shook his head with a smile. "He just cares about you; he doesn't want you to take any wrong turns. Just like my dad—he seems strict on the surface, but deep down, he's very soft-hearted."
Ao Bing nodded in agreement. "Yes, we often underestimate our parents' understanding and tolerance. Perhaps they have already seen our intentions; they were just waiting for us to speak up."
Nezha tightened his grip on Ao Bing's hand. "No matter what, we now have the support and understanding of our families, which is the most precious treasure."
During the banquet, the atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful. Ao Long Wang and Li Jing engaged in lively conversation, discussing topics ranging from business management to educating the next generation. Lady Yin exchanged parenting tips with the female members of the Dragon Palace, while Nezha and Ao Bing quietly sat nearby, enjoying the warmth of family reunion.
After the banquet, Ao Long Wang called Ao Bing into his study alone, closing the door behind him as his expression turned serious.
"Ao Bing, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you."
Ao Bing felt a tightening in his chest. "Please speak, Father."
Ao Long Wang took an ancient jade pendant from his drawer and handed it to Ao Bing. "This is the Dragon Heart Jade, a treasure that has been passed down through generations in the Dragon Tribe. According to tradition, it should have been given to you during your Inheritance Ceremony. However, since the ceremony has been postponed, I wish to entrust it to you for safekeeping."
Surprised, Ao Bing accepted the jade pendant and felt a warm energy flowing through his fingers. "Father, this... this is too precious; I cannot..."
Ao Long Wang waved his hand dismissively. "You have already proven your capability and responsibility; you deserve this trust. The Dragon Heart Jade is not only a symbol of power but also a representation of responsibility. It will protect you in times of crisis and remind you of your mission."
Ao Bing solemnly pressed the jade pendant close to his chest, feeling its resonance with his bloodline. "Thank you for your trust, Father. I will cherish this responsibility."
Suddenly, Ao Long Wang sighed and softened his tone. "Ao Bing, sometimes I may seem strict, but it's all for your own good. Since your mother passed away, you have become the most important person in my life."
At the mention of his mother, Ao Bing's eyes grew misty. The Dragon Tribe had a long lifespan, but Ao Bing's mother had tragically passed away due to an accident when he was young, leaving behind a grieving dragon king and a young Ao Bing. Since then, Ao Long Wang had become even more serious and protective over him.
"Father, I understand," Ao Bing said sincerely. "I have never doubted your love or good intentions. It's just that I need to grow in my own way; I need to experience the joys and sorrows of life to become a truly qualified leader."
Ao Long Wang nodded with a glimmer of pride in his eyes. "You have matured far beyond what I imagined. Perhaps it is time to let you spread your wings." He paused before adding lightly, "By the way, that Nezha kid is quite impressive—responsible and spirited. I admire him."
Ao Bing smiled slightly. "Yes, he is special."
Ao Long Wang gave Ao Bing a meaningful look. "I hope that no matter where you go in the future, you remember the traditions and responsibilities of the Dragon Tribe."
Understanding his father's words' significance, Ao Bing nodded seriously. "I will, Father."
