"Long Ao, how about joining the Thunder National Protection Hall?"
Long Ao scoffed inwardly. 'Gu Bai is obviously hostile toward me. If I join the National Protection Hall, wouldn't I just be asking for trouble?'
"Your Majesty, I'm used to my freedom, so I'd like to stay that way."
Although Long Ao didn't explicitly refuse, the meaning behind his words was crystal clear.
Because of this, everyone was astonished to hear Long Ao turn him down on the spot.
Zhao Mang forced a smile, nodded, and said, "Freedom is good. Long Ao, I just received a message from Red Fire Town. Your father has urgently summoned you back."
'My father urgently summoned me back?'
He was puzzled. He knew that his father wouldn't summon him so urgently unless something important had happened to the family. With that in mind, Long Ao immediately left the Royal Family and headed toward Red Fire Town.
「Within a pavilion in the rear garden of the Thunder Royal Family's palace.」
