Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

“The High Priest has returned. It’s time for you to fulfill your mission,” Lord Long said.

“Mission?” Long Xuan was puzzled.

Wasn’t his mission as the Young Lord of the Long family to succeed the Long family and allow them to continue standing tall on Wulong Mountain?

“The Long family is one of the ten halls of the Demon Heart Hall and one of the ten shadow guards of the High Priest Demon Heart. As the Young Lord, you will become High Priest Demon Heart’s shadow guard sooner or later.”

Lord Long placed his hands behind his back and spoke calmly, his back facing his son.

“A shadow guard?” Long Xuan felt a little confused. “Father, make yourself clear. Am I not the Young Lord of the Long family?”

“You are the Young Lord, but you’re also the High Priest Demon Heart’s shadow guard.”

Lord Long turned around and patted Long Xuan’s shoulder.

“Xuan’er, you must remember that, as the Young Lord of the Long family, you can cultivate diligently even if you aren’t capable. However, if you’re not loyal, you won’t be able to achieve anything. You’ll end up like your brother and die without a burial place.”

As the head of the Long family, he should have chosen his legitimate son as his successor. He did not even care about the Zhao family’s reputation because he had seen through his legitimate son’s character from a young age.

Long Yun’s personality was unpredictable. Not only was he arrogant, but he was also not loyal at all, even towards the Long family.

He coveted the position of Young Lord of the Long family, but he also wanted to take over the Zhao family. He was not suited to work for others; all he wanted was to be his own master.

However, Long Xuan was different. He conducted himself with composure and was loyal to the Long family.

Hence, despite opposition, he supported Long Xuan, his illegitimate son, to become the Young Lord of the Long family. He had been supporting him silently all these years.

“Once you’ve made enough contributions to the Demon Heart Hall as a shadow guard, you will earn the High Priest’s grace. Then you can return to take over as the family head of the Long family.”

“Father, did vou also do something in Demon Heart Hall back then?” Long Xuan asked him.

He had heard that every young lord of the Long family would go out to train. They would go for at least a few years or several decades.

He had always assumed that it was just an ordinary training session. However, it turned out they had entered the Demon Heart Hall to serve as the shadow guard for the High Priest Demon Heart to protect it.

“Every family head will work for the Demon Heart Hall,” Lord Long said, looking at him seriously.

However, he had never done anything for the former High Priest Demon Heart. When he became a shadow guard in the Demon Heart Hall, the former High Priest Demon Heart had yet to assume the position.

20 years ago, the Young Lord of the Long family had yet to reach adulthood and could not work in the Demon Heart Hall.

Hence, no one from the Long family suffered during the disaster 20 years ago. Neither he nor his son became the victims of that disaster.

But he was not sure about the plight of the others from other aristocratic families.

When they entered the Demon Heart Hall, they would not use their real identities. He also did not know which families the others belonged to.

“The Demon Heart Hall was destroyed 20 years ago. Now that the new High Priest Demon Heart has returned, it’s time to revive the Demon Heart Hall and show the might of the High Priest. It’s a good time for you to make a contribution,” he said.

“You mean I should go now?” Long Xuan asked.

“Of course not.” Lord Long shook his head.

“When the High Priest wants you to go, she’ll definitely send someone to summon you. I’m just reminding you to be prepared, so you don’t end up upsetting the High Priest by being unprepared..”
