Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 30-

Chu Lingjun walked up to Su Miaoyu and gripped her wrist. Powerless to resist or evade, Su Miaoyu looked terrified.

Chu Lingjun withdrew her hand. "Indeed, it is the Golden Emperor Meridans," she said. "Within three months, I can step into the War King Realm and enter the King’s Court to cultivate. Would you be willing to take my place as the Junior Institute Master of the Heaven Institute?"

Hearing this, the color drained from Su Miaoyu’s face, and everyone else’s eyes widened. No one had expected Chu Lingjun to make such an offer.

It was well known that the Heaven Institute was the strongest and most resource-rich of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Institutes. To become the Junior Institute Master of the Heaven Institute would be an incredible leap in status.

"Those are my brother’s Emperor Meridans! This wretched woman was his fiancée! She betrayed my brother and stole his Emperor Meridans!" Long Xin suddenly shouted.

In an instant, the expressions of the Su Family Members turned grim.

Long Xin continued, "Elder Sister, it seems everyone here is afraid of you, even Shangguan Ming. Can you please get justice for my brother?"

"Oh?" Chu Lingjun’s gaze shifted, turning to Long Xin with curiosity. She had just arrived in Dragon City and was clearly unaware of the situation.

"Who is your brother?" As Chu Lingjun asked, her eyes subconsciously fell upon Long Chen, who stood beside Long Xin. She was momentarily taken aback by his extraordinary bearing.

It was rare to find someone with an aura like Long Chen’s for thousands of miles around. Especially now, having awakened the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body, his presence was truly exceptional.

"He is my brother, Long Chen, the number one prodigy of Dragon City! He possesses Emperor Meridans, a fact even I didn’t know. The only person he told was that wretched woman, Su Miaoyu!"

With a look of deep resentment, Long Xin gripped Long Chen’s arm. "Su Miaoyu has a venomous heart! It was all for naught that my brother treasured her as his own life; she betrayed him and forcibly stole his Emperor Meridans! She even wanted to kill my brother and destroy our family! She completely forgot the kindness the Long Family showed in helping the Su Family rise. If a treacherous and ungrateful wretch like her were to enter the Martial Ancestor, who knows how many people would fall prey to her schemes! I implore you, Elder Sister, to reconsider and deliver justice for my brother and the Long Family!"

Chu Lingjun narrowed her eyes. "So, the Emperor Meridans were stolen?"

Seeing Chu Lingjun’s expression darken, the Su family head, Su Feng, could no longer sit still. He shot to his feet and rebuked, "She’s spouting nonsense! The truth is that Long Chen tried to force himself on Miaoyu! He intended to swallow our Su Family whole! Miaoyu begged and pleaded to no avail, as she was no match for that beast! If she hadn’t met the renowned young genius Shangguan Pojun—the Junior Institute Master of the Earth Institute, who was visiting Dragon City—at that critical moment, both Miaoyu and the Su Family would have already met a cruel fate!"

His face flushed with anger as he continued, "Miaoyu treating Long Chen this way was entirely his own doing! Should she have let him keep his Emperor Meridans, let him live, just so he could harm her and the Su Family again in the future? Even if the Long Family was once our benefactor, they can’t humiliate us like this, can they?"

As soon as he spoke, everyone was stunned, their expressions growing odd. This was, after all, not what Su Miaoyu had said before Chu Lingjun arrived. Now, the Su family head had completely changed the story, leaving everyone to wonder which version was true and which was false.

The Patriarch of the Long Family, Long Dou, said with disdain, "Heh, you’re the one spouting nonsense, aren’t you? Just a moment ago, your darling daughter publicly admitted that the whole thing was her scheme to climb the social ladder."

Su Feng’s breath hitched. He had been uneasy about Su Miaoyu revealing the truth in public, but the deed was done. He had no choice but to brazen it out.

"That’s because Miaoyu knew it was useless to argue with a heartless beast like Long Chen, or with your sinister and domineering Long Family!" Su Feng then cupped his fist, bowed to Chu Lingjun, and said, "I implore you, Miss Chu, do not believe the Long Family’s slander! My Miaoyu has been upright and virtuous since childhood! She is nothing like the person the Long Family claims she is!"

Instantly, all the Long Family Members became enraged and began to shout, "You—"

At that moment, however, Chu Lingjun cut them off with a cold command, "Enough!"

As everyone reflexively fell silent, Chu Lingjun slowly turned to Long Chen and asked coolly, "As the person at the center of this, why have you remained silent?"

Long Chen simply smiled. "Does it matter who’s telling the truth?"

Chu Lingjun laughed in surprise. "Heh, you’re right. It doesn’t matter."

Seeing this, everyone swallowed hard.

Chu Lingjun actually smiled at Long Chen?
