After breakfast, the four young people gathered in the hall of the small courtyard. Kairuot said to Belden and Lily:
"I just discussed with Fairleya, and today we want to go back to Mars Alliance School to enroll. The school starts in a week, and if we don't leave now, it will be too late."
Belden said with an unhappy expression, "Can you wait a couple of days? It wouldn't be too late to leave after our wedding."
Kairuot replied, "You know that the journey back is quite difficult. Even without any trouble, just crossing the Terrifying Forest and taking a boat will take at least three days. Moreover, the Passenger Ship only runs once a week on Mondays. If we miss it, we have to wait until next week. I've calculated the time; if we leave today, we'll just make it for Monday's Passenger Ship."
"You don't need to rush," said Bel Grandfather as he entered the hall with a cheerful laugh and approached them. "You don't need to worry. Once your wedding is over, I'll have Flying Dragon Osei take you directly to where your flying vehicle is parked. In fact, you only need one day."
Fairleya told Great-Great-Grandfather, "My flying vehicle is completely malfunctioning; it can't be operated anymore."
Great-Great-Grandfather smiled mysteriously and said, "Perhaps your flying vehicle will be repaired and able to fly again in a few days."
Kairuot quickly thanked Great-Great-Grandfather:
"Thank you, Great-Great-Grandfather!"
Great-Great-Grandfather stroked his beard and said, "No need to thank me; I've already considered your journey back."
Belden hurriedly went up to support Great-Great-Grandfather's arm and helped him sit in a chair beside her, preparing some Fruit Tea for him.
Belden said, "Great-Great-Grandfather, I also want to go with them!"
Lily chimed in, "I want to go with Belle too; we can take care of each other."
Great-Great-Grandfather still wore a smile and said, "If you both want to go out and see the world, I don't oppose it. But can you adapt to their lifestyle?"
Belden and Lily indeed had not thought about it, both were speechless.
Great-Great-Grandfather continued, "I have already arranged everything for you. You will first stay in Heavenly Dragon Town, and once you gradually adapt to life there, you can choose the right time to move into their city."
"Heavenly Dragon Town?" Lily asked, having never been to that place. "Is it far from Kairuot's school?"
"Not too far; it only takes a day by Passenger Ship from the dock," Kairuot replied.
"Great-Great-Grandfather," Beldan said playfully, "I don't want to go to Heavenly Dragon Town, I want to live with my husband."
Great-Great-Grandfather said, "I can't do that. You have already left Dragonfall Lodge. Your Great-Great-Grandfather is not an omnipotent person who can do anything. This time, please don't be willful. In the past, I have indulged you too much, allowing you to be spoiled. Marrying someone from another family is already a huge concession on my part; you have no idea how much pressure I endured. I hope that through your union, we can achieve unity among the Martians. I don't want your actions to disrupt their lives. Rest assured, everything about your life in Heavenly Dragon Town has been arranged by your Great-Great-Grandfather, and you will not be treated poorly."
Beldan wanted to continue being willful and make unreasonable demands of Great-Great-Grandfather, but she was firmly reprimanded by Kairuot, who was sitting not far away and used telepathy to silence her. She shot a helpless glare at Kairuot. All of this was seen by Great-Great-Grandfather.
"Do we have a place to stay in Heavenly Dragon Town?" Lily asked Great-Great-Grandfather.
Great-Great-Grandfather told her, "Our clan, the Dragon Clan, has a quaint little courtyard in Heavenly Dragon Town. It is even larger than Beldan's courtyard. This little courtyard has been vacant, so it is perfect for you two to stay there. I have also arranged for several people to take care of your daily needs."
"Thank you, Great-Great-Grandfather, for being so thoughtful," Lily said.
At this moment, Great-Great-Grandfather addressed everyone:
"I would like to speak with my great-grandson-in-law Kairuot privately." He asked Kairuot, "Is that alright?"
Kairuot replied, "Sure, if Great-Great-Grandfather wants to talk, I'm available anytime. I also wanted to talk to you."
After hearing the words of Great-Great-Grandfather, everyone stood up and left the hall. Only the two of them remained in the hall.
Kairuot suddenly knelt before Great-Great-Grandfather and clasped his hands in salute:
"Thank you, Great-Great-Grandfather, for letting us go!!"
Great-Great-Grandfather said to Kairuot without any concealment, "Kid, it's not that I let you go, but that you have the ability to escape the traps we set. I know that during last night's ambush, you didn't give it your all; otherwise, those reckless fools wouldn't have survived until today. The most regrettable thing is that old giant dragon in Qilong Pool. I didn't expect you to take on the challenge and actually eliminate that creature. From now on, Dragonfall Lodge truly has no more Dragon Mountain Manor."
Kairuot asked in confusion, "Isn't there a dragon called Osei in Olympus River?"
"That's a dragon created through artificial biological gene mutation," Great-Great-Grandfather told him. "You really are something; even I fear you a little."
Kairuot said, "Great-Great-Grandfather, you flatter me."
Great-Great-Grandfather continued, "I rarely praise anyone. My Beldan has a good eye; if you were one of our Bel Tribe people, I would assign you an important task."
Seeing that Kairuot was still kneeling, he bent down and helped Kairuot up, saying, "Don't kneel all the time; let's sit down and drink tea while we talk."
Kairuot sat back down in his chair. After taking a sip of tea, he told Great-Great-Grandfather, "Great-Great-Grandfather, does your family really require marriage only among your own people? My parents are not from the same tribe; my father is Kairuo People and my mother is Fair People."
"Oh," Great-Great-Grandfather asked, "are they together now?"
"No," Kairuot replied. "But they have no regrets. I truly feel that Beldan is very lucky to have your support as an open-minded Great-Great-Grandfather."
"Our family also opposes intermarriage with outsiders. But I value talent highly. I sincerely hope you can join our tribe," Great-Great-Grandfather clearly told him. "I know about your abilities; with your Sixth Sense, we can't hide anything from you. So let's sit down and have an honest conversation. Your thought motion is quite impressive; you actually managed to transfer the remote control for my Human Motion Controller into your pocket."
Kairuot quickly took out a small cube from his pocket and handed it to Great-Great-Grandfather. "I report to you, Great-Great-Grandfather, that I did this because I don't want Beldan to continue suffering."
Great-Great-Grandfather waved his hand and said, "Take it. I also do not wish to see my great-granddaughter in pain. I hope you can help her break this curse."
Kairuot asked, "Lily also has this control device installed in her head, right?"
Great-Great-Grandfather replied, "She is the only one in our villa who does not have a Human Motion Controller installed. She is the only one who comes and goes freely without being controlled. Her parents firmly opposed installing a Controller on her because she is their only child, born late in their lives and their precious darling. Considering her ancestors' contributions to the villa, they made an exception and did not install it on her."
"Oh," Kairuot responded, "I can tell that her movements are not restricted."
Great-Great-Grandfather continued, "Belden is also my treasure, but as the owner of the villa, I have to take charge. Now that you two are married, the curse on her must be lifted by you."
Kairuot said, "Don't worry, Great-Great-Grandfather, I will find a way."
Great-Great-Grandfather changed his tone and said, "I entrust my treasure to you. If you let her down, Great-Great-Grandfather will not spare you."
Kairuot assured him, "Great-Great-Grandfather, rest assured, I will not let her down. Moreover, regarding our discovery at Dragonfall Lodge this time, we will not speak of it outside; I do not want to bring unnecessary trouble to Dragonfall Lodge."
Great-Great-Grandfather said, "I was waiting for those words from you. We set up the Terrifying Forest around Dragonfall Lodge and released strong electromagnetic waves and Electronic Interference to ensure the safety of Dragonfall Lodge. I hope that my act of kindness in releasing you does not leave hidden dangers for the villa in the future or bring disaster upon Dragonfall Lodge. Everything I do is for my great-granddaughter Belden. She loves you so much; you must cherish her. Remember, no matter what happens in the future, do not forget this little courtyard; the big tree in this courtyard can provide shade for you both. This little courtyard is your home; you must come back."
Kairuot promised Great-Great-Grandfather, "Great-Great-Grandfather, Beldan and I are now married; you can rest assured that I will love her well. I assure you again: I will absolutely not disclose the secrets of Dragonfall Lodge. I will come to visit you often."
Great-Great-Grandfather said, "With your promise, I feel relieved. Now go on; continue with your wedding and don’t let it lose its momentum. Your wedding won't end until after tomorrow. I hope you two can live happily ever after. If things become difficult outside, hurry back to Dragonfall Lodge; this is your best home."
