第89章 "Whispers of the Past"

**89 Chapter: The Ancient Scroll**

Little Fifth's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Lin Feng, searching for any hint of deceit. "You're telling me that my parents, the Dragon King and Queen, are still alive?" he asked, his voice laced with skepticism.

Lin Feng's expression turned serious, his eyes locked onto Little Fifth's. "I'm telling you the truth, boy. Your parents are out there, hidden away, waiting for the right moment to return. But you need to be prepared for the journey ahead."

Little Fifth's gaze faltered, his mind reeling with the implications. He had always thought his parents were gone, lost to the annals of history. The thought of them being alive, waiting for him, was both exhilarating and terrifying.

"Where are they?" Little Fifth demanded, his voice firming up.

Lin Feng sighed, rubbing his temples. "The last time I saw them, they were in the ancient city of Zhongtu. But be warned, boy, the city is guarded by the powerful Order of the Golden Lotus. They will not give up their secrets easily."

Little Fifth's eyes flashed with determination. "I'll go to Zhongtu. I'll find them."

Lin Feng's expression turned grave. "Not without me, you won't. You're not ready for what lies ahead. Besides, there are those who will stop at nothing to claim the Dragon King and Queen's power for themselves."

Little Fifth's anger flared, his fists clenched at his sides. "I'll not be swayed by threats. I'll go to Zhongtu, and I'll bring back my parents."

As the storm raged on outside, Little Fifth and Lin Feng stood facing each other, the air thick with tension. Little Fifth knew he had to be careful, but his desire for answers and his need to prove himself drove him forward.

Just then, a loud crash echoed through the room, and the door burst open. A hooded figure stood in the doorway, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly energy.

"I see you're still playing with fire, Lin Feng," the figure said, their voice low and menacing.

Lin Feng's eyes locked onto the figure, his expression turning cold. "Jiang Xue. What brings you to this place?"

Jiang Xue's gaze flicked to Little Fifth, and a sly smile spread across her face. "Ah, the little dragon boy. I see you're still naive enough to believe the lies Lin Feng tells you."

Little Fifth's hackles rose, his instincts screaming warning. Who was this woman, and what did she want?

As the tension escalated, Little Fifth knew he had to make a choice. Would he trust Lin Feng, or would he strike out on his own, determined to uncover the truth about his parents and his destiny? The fate of the world hung in the balance, and Little Fifth's decision would change the course of history.
